Happy Lesson (2002)
Not an average harem anime
The harem anime usually consists of a male protagonist surrounded by attractive females who wish for romantic involvement with him. Happy Lesson is a completely different beast; instead, eighteen-year old orphan Chitose Hitotose inherits his parents' house to live in all alone - until his five teachers "adopt" him and move in with him. The trouble is, they all drive him insane! While there are some moments of perversion, there is a tender side to this anime - and the hilarity never ends.
Along the way, Chitose is also heckled by the undying (and one-sided) love of Fumitsuki Nanakarobi, his class's president, two commentator students, "B" and "C", and Kanna, an old friend of Chitose's "Mama" Kisaragi, who also has her eyes set on the series' hero. Things increase in zaniness when two girls who Chitose had come to regard as sisters in the orphanage show up - young Minazuki, who also has a crush on Chitose; and Hazuki, a famous pop star with a bottomless stomach.
The story of Happy Lesson is supplemented by a series of OVAs which offer different takes on the adventures of the series. Following this is a sequel series, "Happy Lesson Advance", and the story is concluded with "Happy Lesson Final", another set of OVAs.
