Brief Description:
It's a new school year and Ryuuji Takasu discovers that not only is he in the same class as his best friend, Yuusaku Kitamura, but also Minori Kushieda whom he's had an undisclosed crush on for quite some time. Along with the two of them comes the “Palmtop Tiger”, tiny Taiga Aisaka and Minori's best friend. Despite her small stature, Taiga takes nothing from anybody and is secretly in love with Kitamura. Ryuuji and Taiga, despite their oil and water relationship, agree to mutually support each other in their quests for their hearts' desire. (myanimelist.net)

Violence: Mostly humorous, or just in talk. Taiga is known for her violent nature, so she hits, charges, and punches people, but its never graphic, just funny since she's so small.

Nudity/Sexual Content: Basically just talk. There's a girl with large breasts that acts seductively more then once, but nothing ever happens. Another girl is known has having small breasts and it becomes an issue in one episode. The main guys family has issues (his mom and dad were never married, etc.) and its mentions quite a bit. Basically, just talk, plain and simple. The jokes can get kinda inappropriate at times, but never way overboard. A guy comes out of the shower in one scene, but has a towel. So yeah, brief things like that, but nothing serious. If you don't like that kind of humor and can't over look it, it might not be the series for you, but its pretty clean compared to a lot out there.

Problematic Themes: Mostly just basic exposure to Japanese culture. Maybe some references to Buddhism. Nothing wretched. Other themes that might come into question are things like bars and smoking. The man character's mother works at a bar, so that comes up a great deal, but its nothing bad really, just mentioned at times.

Overall, this show is HILARIOUS, and a cute romance. So, if you can overlook spurts of dirty humor, then you'll enjoy it. I only failed to give it a 10 out of 10 because of that, so I gave it a 9. This is a personal favorite of mine, and I would recommend it to anyone mature enough for it, maybe 15 and over :)

Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed this show. There were a lot of really sweet parts, and the behaviors didn't feel contrived the way a lot of romantic comedies do. The characters were very sympathetic and fun to watch, and I liked the way the show fulfilled the promises the early arc made. I highly recommend it, with appropriate caveats to people who are sensitive to violence or language.

Content notes:
Taiga is quite violent. There's a knock-down drag-out fistfight in one episode.
Ryuji and Taiga both say a number of mild swears.
Taiga is shown in a very provocative way (holding a sheet to cover her nude body) in someone's dream at one point.
One of the guys appears nude (but covered or off-screen) in front of a mixed group once.
