I actually read the first chapter of this manga before i saw anything about the anime counterpart. The manga actually started off very differently with the focus on the princess alone, but that's beside the point. Overall I really enjoyed this anime, it was a nice watch. It starts off intriging and then kinda slows down a bit into a nice good-hearted watch. However, it actually gets serious pretty abruptly, and the serious section is quite nice, and at times a bit darker than i expected (people actually got shot!). The characters are all nice, if not a bit small of a cast, the main guy and the girls taking up pretty much most of the focus with very little light on others. The animation is fantastic, and yes, gives nice ecchi moments because of it. Actually, it wans't that bad when it came to ecchi-ness. Sure it had some fanservice from time to time but it was never so thick and saturated that it put me off, although i did download the censored version. The one complaint i have about this anime is that it is far too short and the ending doesn't really solve anything! C'mon man, pick a girl! Even so, this anime is still a nice watch and would appeal to men and wemon alike. I reccommend it to anyone who wishes to see a nice romance anime with a decent plot, and some ecchi. Oh but don't watch the OVA, dang hentai.... (show less)

I'll start off by saying that I have watched both this series and the OVAs. While the OVAs are much more hentai oriented, this TV series does a pretty decent job of creating a storyline for us to follow and getting us to care more about what happens to the characters.

We get to see more of their backgrounds, helping us to understand what motivates them and why they would really be together. i.e. school for the super rich / nobles. And we get to see our hero grow into the new role placed upon him.

This TV series does not contain the sexuality of the OVAs though the characters are still drawn to that exciting and enticing standard. So, if you are after the hentai side...then watch the OVAs, if you are interested more in a story about a hero seeking to live a new life with elements of revenge thrown and cute girls that all want him....then watch this TV version.
