He will be living at a dormitory called "Ryokurin-ryou" — commonly called by its more easily pronounceable English name, Greenwood. The building was formerly used as an insane asylum and everyone knows that the students living there are a bit bizarre, and they have been waiting for Kazuya's arrival. While originally released on VHS tape in 1996 (with a CPM dub) and then rereleased in 2004 on DVD (with a Media Blasters dub), this series is no longer in 'print'. 6 episode OVA (released in 1991/93) Produced by Hakusensha & Victor Entertainment Licensed for R1/USA release by Central Park Media / Media Blasters There is also a Japanese live-action TV-drama series which is viewable (subtitled/streaming) at Mysoju.

Koko wa Greenwood Here is Greenwood is a very funny series. I laughed my butt of in the first tape, even my friends who watched it (whom don't like anime in the least) were crumbling to the floor at the antics of the greenwood gang. Much to my dissapointment, the series does taper of slightly after the first few eps, but many OVAs do that in an attempt to cram a huge number of manga volumes into a 3 tape set. I agree with Newman-chan, it should have been longer. But still it's a wonderful little ova with a merciless sense of humor. so, See it, Love it, and start helping me beg graphic novel companies to translate the manga.

Koko wa Greenwood This one charmed the hell outta me. Aside from sometimes making me question my sexuality, Koko wa Greenwood entertained me to no end with (sometimes) believeable stories of (wacky) dorm life. My only problem with this tiny OAV set is there is not enough! Otherwise, check out Here is Greenwood. It's really good! Trust me! Last updated Friday, March 18 2005.

Koko wa Greenwood This is a charming, low-key series which gently sucks you into life at Greenwood. The artwork has a nice, watercolory look to it. The first four episodes focus mostly on the likeable oddballs who live in the dorm, while the last two develop a romance for Hasukawa. I think anyone who's ever lived in a dorm will recognize at least some of the "types" and humor. If you want explosions every other minute, skip this one. If you enjoy laid-back comedies with lots of cute guys, grab it! Last updated Monday, February 04 2002. Created Friday, July 13 2001.
