A average episode of this series in a nutshell
Keiichi or Rena cause some sort of trouble (sometimes, the trouble is extreme, like in one episode where Keiichi, Satoko and Rena teamed up and basically sent everyone and everything to space, which made them angry). The other characters can be angry at times: Keiichi (or Rena, AGAIN) try to fix the problem they caused. The other characters, usually either Mion or Rika, forgive Keiichi (or Rena), only to cause trouble again in the next episode.
Sometimes, like the Christmas special, the main characters either go on a long adventure or they just celebrate the holiday.
