It’s a very simple sitcom premise, brilliantly carried out. For me, the only problem is the dramatic arc that emerges in the second half of the series, which I thought was really superfluous – it didn’t make the show more exciting, it just distracted from the best part of the show, which is the awkward tutelage of Chi by her “master” Hideki. If Chi hadn’t done a Pinocchio at the end, I reckon they could have got another good season out of it.
