Sum it up in a Sentence:
A perverted lesbian transfers to an all girls school to find a lover, but she finds a sadistic cross dressing boy instead.
Main Description
Kanako Miyamae, a perverted lesbian, transfers to an all girls school hoping to find her new soul mate, but when she thinks she has found the perfect girl, it turns out that this girl is actually a sadistic cross dressing boy with enough power to have her expelled. This results in her constantly being forced into comedic situations. Also she gets nosebleeds. A lot.

Personal Opinions
ComradeCosmobot
I rather liked it, but then I haven't seen SZS, and apparently it pales in comparison to that, according to others. I think you have to go in expecting flat characters and non-subtle humor, and it'll be alright. (7.5/10)
D13FOOL
I just can't bring myself to like 99% of what Shaft puts out. Sorry. It gives me headaches and it's hard to follow, but it's totally insane like the rest of their shows. 2/5.
linall
I enjoyed this show as an exercise in letting the animation keep me interested rather than the plot/story/what is actually happening in the show. Taken by itself, the story of this would be terrible. I even liked the "get it, she is a despicable pervert" gag they had going on. But the pace of each episode is really slow and only one joke in five is really chuckle worthy.
But the crazy mash-up of art styles really helped ease the pain of the story. Even though not much is going on, the art styles almost violently from line to line and specific ones are used to help raise the impact of the jokes. Kind of like going into chibi when something cute/silly happens. Except, you know, good.
Snapalope
The jokes and humor style in this series does work well, but for the most part it's a hit or miss. However, there are some really good episodes that stay funny the whole way both in the first and second season. Check this out if you are a fan of Shaft's work or Shinbo's directing. The music and sound design is really nice though.
