First of all, it is a series that only lovers of the moe genre will like, or in any case those of comedy or even music (not excessive), if you do not meet any of the three requirements you probably do not like this series.
To me it seems a series very well planned, at the same time that predictable. Girls addicted to music who try to refloat a school club, attracting new members to form a band. This is how Yui, is incorporated in the first chapter and begins the story of the Houkago Tea Time! (which is the name of the band, whose meaning in Japanese is Tea after class).
The five members of the band, who are in turn the protagonists of the series, have totally different personalities and roles, creating a fully compensated story, without forgetting the moe touch, which is all the characteristics among each other.
On the one hand Ritsu, the drummer, is the president of the club and the most savvy of the five, but likewise it is the most vague and many times they have had the odd problem for it. She is also the most temperamental and easily gets to take out Mio.
Mugi, is the keyboard player, comes from a well-heeled and well-known family, but she flees from the clichés and behaves like a normal girl of her age, without affecting this to her character. Also, although of the feeling of being shy, it often surprises with extroverted attitudes. It is the largest supplier of pastries of the group, and who is usually responsible for making tea.
Mio is the authentic idol of all of them. She is the most popular girl in the institute and she even has a fan club. She is a friend of Ritsu's childhood and an excellent bass player. All her fame and modesty gives her enough cut because she is very shy and above all scary, she panics practically of anything. She is also a vocalist, although it is Yui who most plays this role.
Yui, the face of the band, is literally a piece of bread. It is super naive and adorable, and is the maximum exponent of the genus moe in this series. Achuchable and clumsy as you can not, it is impossible not to squirm with the amount of small misfortunes that happen. She is totally dependent on his sister Ui, and is not able to do any domestic chores without breaking something. On the contrary, he has an innate talent for music, getting to learn at a speed to play the guitar and even to tune it by itself.
Later they are joined by Azusa, the last member of the group, who is one year younger than them, and is a classmate of Ui, Yui's sister. Azusa is very shy and joins the club after they looked desperately for a new member, since it really took 5 to have a club. Azusa joins the same and is received with open arms by all, especially by Yui, who constantly compares her to a cat, calling her Azu-nyan to the point of putting out little ears of cat and forcing her to meow, saying that it sounds very heavy but Seeing it is hilarious.
Then as secondary characters we will highlight Sawako Yamanaka, called by the girls Sawa-chan, who is her teacher and also one of the former members of the light music club, although in her time she was part of a metal band ^^. It is his main support and advice throughout the series.
The series although it is very slow pace is very easy to see, thanks to the ease of the script and the large number of funny points it has. It's totally adorable and lovable! The protagonists do not take long to show their personality and manias, which, even though they are very different from each other, cohere perfectly with each other, this being an essential point for you to end up identifying with one of them.
