Weird series shilling time: Criminale!
This is one of those High School weirdo compilation stories, ala the series commonly known as Best Faces which has a similar sorta lulzy premise with occasional hints of more interesting stuff, only that goes into supernatural critters instead. While here it's criminals. Basically lead is the type who attracts crimes to him to a hilarious degree. Gets sent to a new high school wanting to start a new lease on life, but he's put in a class of various criminal types. Shenanigans ensue.
Sounds boring? Well, that's what I thought too at first which is why it's flown under my radar up to now. But it's actually doing some interesting things beyond the general shenanigan premise and hinting at a lot more interesting things, and right now it's putting together quite the interesting plotline to the degree that I really am looking forward to where it's going now. Let's just say the current arc is about the Phantom Thief and her own 'Disposition' and why it ties to her leading a life of high profile thefts, as well as the FBI agent (Who has her own disposition too) who has at last managed to catch her and the lead who just got shot trying to get her back apparently, and that's not even the half of it. Leads into this epic scene:

Bitch done screwed up now.
So it's been a roller coaster of lulz and holy shits thus far and I'm hoping it does more from here as it explores the nature behind these dispositions, as well as exploring the lead's own 'criminal potential' as a result of his disposition. Which if I had to hazard a guess at this point, would be the mastermind sorta criminal boss sorta thing given how he's now drawing his allies together for an epic rescue her apparently, and would also tie rather well into the nature of his disposition to boot, he's just not using it effectively yet.
But like a lot of these sorts of series, you have to wade through some pretty mundane haremy shenanigans to get to the more interesting bits, but if you're into that sorta thing you might have a lot of fun along the way. It's already doing the 'Best Faces' approach of having multiple possible couples hinted at among the cast thus far, in particular there's been some hints that the Hacker and the Violator are going to build up into something later, and I'm seeing some potential hints at something with the Thug and the Pyro Sisters, while the lead is playing keep away from the Assassin, the Stalker, and the Phantom Thief herself up to this point, so there's plenty of development to go around so it's not your usual harem bullshit at the very least.
Oh and there's the Grifter but I have no clue what's up with that guy at all, he's pretty sidelined all in all. Still with the rest of them there's been a lot to work with thus far which has made the series deserving of my full attention at this point, doubly so if this Phantom Theif arc delivers as it's been shaping up thus far, quite the few epic moments and interesting developments already so if it fully delivers this series my go places.
