What is it, in summary?: A slice of life comedy about high school girls having adventures and learning things, with a touch of surrealism.
What do you love about it?: It's a laid back experience that still has a lot of energy, it's easygoing and comforting and fun. I love the dynamic personalities of the characters, the relationships, the silly running gags and the genuinely sweet moments.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Femslash, friendship, adventure, fluff
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Not really, you get a snapshot of the relationships in pretty much every episode or manga chapter.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): There's a gross ebephile teacher who appears sometimes but it's rare and his scenes can be skipped without missing things. Yukari's driving is crazy and terrifying so if you're sensitive to car accidents you should skip those scenes.
