This one lowers your heart rate. You come in expecting another club-room harem and instead you get a school newspaper advice column where three girls argue their way to an answer, and the arguing is the whole point. Rino brings the science angle, Fumi brings the literature angle, Ikumi brings the just-punch-it angle, and Yuuki sits in the middle transcribing while Nikaidou, who dumped this job on him in the first place, watches it all pay off in circulation. Nobody here is subtle, and yeah, some of these kids blur together by episode six. But the ending is the receipt: the girls don't claw at each other over him, they close ranks and push the pairing forward, which is a courtesy almost nothing in this genre extends. Watch it for the club room, not the fireworks.

Yuuki Akamatsu is leading an ordinary high school life until his cousin, Ayaka Nikaidou, persuades him to join the Journalism Club. As editor-in-chief of the school's second newspaper, she puts him in charge of the life advice column, partly to help him become more social. He is soon joined by three girls: shy, clever Rino Endou for science, gentle, cultured Fumi Kujou for the liberal arts, and outgoing, athletic Ikumi Suzuki for physical education. Together they take anonymous requests from students about whatever is weighing on them. Each consultant brings a distinct viewpoint, and the group works toward answers through debates and social experiments over the course of the week. As time passes, the four begin to see that while guiding others through their worries, they are also working through troubles of their own. The result is a slice of life series built on everyday school concerns.
