Summary: High school comedy about life in an unusual dorm at a boy's school.

I adore this series. I gave it 4 out of 5 because while I adore it, it's not a classic on the same scale as "Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind". While Nausicaa is an epic, "Here is Greenwood" is fun, well done, has lovely characterizations, and I adore, but it doesn't carry the same impact as Nausicaa. If you read both stories and compare I think you'll understand what I mean. They're just different types of works.
