This is pure sugar. Such a cute, heartwarming and supersweet romance with some funny stories about their friends and families on top. The characters are loveable and divers and I especially like Nanako's dorky father somehow.
The animation and music are short, nice and simple but that's all it takes to tell these lovely stories.
It's kinda all about the Senryuu which is basically a form of short poetry which tends to be about human foibles and is often cynical or darkly humorous. The form is similar to haiku which is mostly about nature and rather serious. Naturally I had to google it since my knowledge about poetry is non-existent.
Anyway it is a very nice entertainment and I had to chuckle quite often. It's very enjoyable and thus recommended!

* Based on a 4-koma slice-of-life comedy manga drawn by Igarashi Masakuni.
Yukishiro Nanako is a cute, cheerful high school girl with one peculiar trait - instead of verbal communication, she writes senryu (a type of haiku) poems to relay her thoughts. Together with ex-delinquent Busujima Eiji, they are budding freshmen of the school's Literature Club.
Even though Nanako doesn't talk, with the power of senryu, the adorable pair has no problem enjoying their fun school-life through the tune of 5-7-5 syllables.

Short sweet episodes, Lovely romance comedy, Yet warm and fuzzy!
Quite an unique one having the FL only communicate via 5-7-5 senryuu teamed up with a thug-ish boy who also likes senryuu. And the best part is how well this cute, adorably sweet and well the romance between these misfits works! Comedies are light and relaxed, the romance is rather smooth without miscommunication, leaving a nice fuzzy feel
The creativity is apparent in the design of FL as all her sentences are 5-7-5, whilst also making use of various facial expression and action which wasn't awkward but actually rather cute!
The prod quality from the artwork, animation and the pleasant music including the OP and ED are all pretty top notch for such a genre. Add all of that into a nice 12 min bite-easy chunk size episode; this anime is light, easy and emanates smile, joy and happiness of the youthful love!
Easy recommend for the sweet romance crowd. 7/10 for me, now I may go pick up the manga for more!

A heartwarming romance without all of the melodramatic cliches that are rather common in shounen romance manga. This one's sweet, gentle, cute, with a relaxing pace and art style that just makes it fun to watch. The technical production is simplistic and the episodes are only half-length, but those details mesh really well with the show's tone and ambiance. Like a poem, the half-length keeps things pretty short and simple. And although the animation may be simple, the important visuals are just fine, and the show's almost as much a joy to listen to as it is to watch, 'least for me. Recommended for fans of gentle, basic romance.
