In my school for example, all the bisexual girls I knew all hung out in the same group. So it's not surprising. And I actually only think that there is one lesbian in this anime, and that's Fumi. I think everyone else is bisexual (Yasuko, Kyouko and Chizu) or just really, really friendly (like the Sugimoto fangirls). Seeing the girls go gaga over Yasuko for example is pretty normal in Japan. Girls like to show their admiration and respect for the "stars" in their school. @supertauren:

Now, I have nothing against lesbians and I understand this show is about lesbians, but it's a little weird.. The only problem I have with this show is it seems that all the students are lesbians.

It's still one of the better shows airing right now. Aoi Hana is pretty good so far but having already seen Honey and Clover, it’s hard for these kind of shows to impress me that much.

Do watch Honey & Clover. It is an outstanding show, and I remember at the time it came out being shocked at how faithful it was to the manga: for the first few episodes, it was just about frame for frame. And it worked. Aoi Hana is the first of Kasai's shows to equal H&C, for me, and it may even surpass it. Maybe I appreciated Nodame Cantabile less because I had already both read the manga and watched the drama. There is one scene in this ep of Aoi Hana that just floored me: when Yasuko senpai stroked Fumi's hair. The way they animated that was just godly. I could feel the weight and texture of the hair. senerikfred makes a good point. Do watch Honey & Clover.

He's one of those who can do great things with what's already good, which is something to respect, though it'll never get him credit for originality and will kill his consistency. People who can pull off 99% straight adaptations well really don't get enough respect.
