This comedy was one of my favorite shows from 2011. Its been described as a "supermarket survival battle for half-price lunches." The story involves a high school dormitory where student cooking is restricted (don't think this is so far fetched -the kitchenettes at my university dorm didn't have ovens). Because of this, supermarket Bento boxes are a prized commodity among the students who live there. However Bento boxes are also expensive, which is a problem for the less well to do students. Because of this there is some serious competition for the limited number of boxes that come on sale near the end of the day.
This parody trailer actually summarizes the series pretty well:
As a warning, the series does have quite a bit of fan service at times, but some of the more outrageous bits are so outrageous they're actually pretty hilarious.

In simplest terms, the plot more or less amounts to "Fighting over half price Bento boxes is serious business." Well, as serious as it can be when characters end up fighting with chopsticks and shopping baskets... When the show was still airing my anime buddies made a habit of watching it just before going to get take out for dinner. Though in spite of that we never got into any fights over the food. :lol:

Seems this show was picked up by Funimation recently.
What took them so freaking long?
