Seen at Owen's:

You could call it Hidamari Lite, with swords.

Witty, I liked it. Although, on second thought, it's not as useful as I wish. It does not tell us much about the anime writ large. All Owen is trying to transmit here is how one of the nominally equal cast members is a de facto main character. Hidamari was different though: Yunocchi is the main character de jure. Tama's role is more like the one played by Mikan in Manabi.
