''Strange Love'' is a {{Yuri}} SexComedy anime that tells the story of a beautiful schoolgirl named Chizuru Yoshida and her [[MeaningfulName very strange]] encounters with a wannabe horndog teacher, her rocker boyfriend and a young girl who may or may not be the love of her life. The series is based on the second series of a manga simply known as ''Manga/{{Hen}}'' ("Strangeness") by Hiroya Oku, the guy who gave us such wonderful classics as ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'' (yes, ''that'' Gantz) and ''Manga/{{Inuyashiki}}''. The OVA is only two episodes long and the plot doesn't even really get started until episode 2... but the story and characters aren't really the [[{{Fanservice}} main]] [[GirlOnGirlIsHot reasons]] anyone would choose to watch a show like this.

Gag Boobs has been renamed to Boob Based Gag. Changing to the proper trope where appropriate and cutting misuse.


* GagBoobs: Chizuru is incredibly stacked for a girl so rail thin, a fact that gets mocked ruthlessly on ''[[WebVideo/BennettTheSage Anime Abandon]]'' when Sage compares her to a "G-Cup version of Olive Oyl" from ''Franchise/{{Popeye}}''.

* DecoyProtagonist: Sushiaki Karasawa, the horny teacher who gets most of the focus in the first episode seems like he'll become the male lead of the anime in his desperate quest to get Chizuru's affections. As this is a {{Yuri}} title he promptly disappears after the first episode and the subplot of him recognizing Chizuru as the girl from the commercial goes nowhere.
