Be warned: this review isn't going to be good considering this is one of my first reviews of any medium ever. Spoiler-free, with exception of some spoiler zones.

Overall: 9.25/10

So, where to start... I guess we can make it easier on you and me, and convert this into a list rather than paragraphs of mumbo jumbo. Overall, this has obvious inspiration from Nisekoi and how it handles its characters, and definitely doesn't have the same flaws as such. It, by no means, is a perfect story, and there are some hitches here and there that definitely make you question some decisions. However, like all humans, mistakes are what makes us, and we seek to perfect the imperfections on the next try. Nonetheless, the story is still great and is a very high recommended for anyone that likes the Harem genre, or wants to feel Nisekoi again.

Story: 8.5/10

• School setting. Easily the most graspable setting.
• Premise isn't a novel concept, yet it is well executed. Never strays far from its focus, and any branches made from the original plot feels natural and contributes to the over-arching story.
• To define natural, I am referring to its presence making sense and affecting the plot + characters in a way that anyone can apply common AND emotional sense to the context, and forming a conclusion that is not dissimilar to how other readers would come up with their conclusions.
• Pace and flow is nice, it never felt like it moved too fast, or too slow.
• Harem-aspect of the story, it never felt like the harem NEEDS to constantly shower their affections. Instantly made the entire cast and story more enjoyable.
• Time-frame is set at somewhere close to the beginning of their last year in HS, meaning that under both grade and time constrictions, the cast is made to bond under stressful conditions. This, however, is a major plus. Bonds and companionship is more evident.
• Yet because of the time constraints, there can only be so much stories told within one year without making its plot progression AND character progression feel unnatural. The author does their best in this regard, and for 95% of the content, it definitely felt natural.
• In addition, I also wished that its last arcs were a tad-bit longer, and we spend a little more time with the characters and their interactions with each other in the middle of the story. There were some interactions that didn't feel right sometimes, but it didn't happen constantly.
• Required spoiler mention, don't open if you plan to read the story! This is for anyone else that has read the entire manga already.

  Multiple endings in a harem? Are you kidding me? Where can you get this love anywhere else?! In addition, I really meant it when every chapter matters towards the end. The author utilizes the vagueness of some of the chapters to tastefully add details IMPORTANT to the endings of any of the girls. I will say that Mafuyu's ending feels the most mature and complete, building on what Asumi's ending has on further character building. Uruka wins her childhood love, and Rizu gets her ending well-put together with help of a Sawako arc. I was most surprised by the Fumino arc. She hides her feelings to help others, but hurts herself in the process by doing so. I needed to read this particular ending slowly, since for me it was the most sweetest. Still doesn't beat Mafuyu's ending, which is the only girl in the harem to ACTUALLY HAVE A MARRIAGE SCENE. Incredible.

Cast: 9.5/10

• Possibly one of the most colorful cast of characters in a Harem. Also one of the most likable too.
• Main MC is an aforementioned "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" guy, but is not a Gary Sue. Has plenty of faults and issues both as a harem MC, and as a protagonist
• Harem consists of a wide arrange of characters from different backgrounds, and their backgrounds influence their character to a great degree. Like the MC, they also have their own issues and struggles that don't disappear with just one chapter.
• No character feels like they are forced into the harem either. They gain their own reasons for liking our main MC, yet are human enough to acknowledge that romance isn't the entire point of their character. They have their own lives to live, and we get to see that throughout the story.
• Only have minor nitpicks, and most of it goes towards the sports girl of the harem. To keep it spoiler-free, you can say that she's the original flavor of a major chip brand, and the rest of the cast are different, better flavors of the major chip brand. Apply this comparison as you read, and you will understand what I mean.
• My favourite is Mafuyu, followed by Fumino.

Art: 9/10

• Love the art style in general. It's easy to look at, and although not unique to have it's own type of art style, the refinement is definitely noticeable.
• Character design is thoughtful and unique. Each character stands out from the rest of the cast- recognizable, yet makes sense in terms of what or why they wear what they wear.
• I'm not much of an artist, so I can't speak beyond what is capable of what I see and what I feel. I can say that I do feel that Nisekoi has a hand in influencing the design choices of each character.
• I would score it a 10 for sure if the art was more memorable, but the characters are definitely memorable in my book, so the score is raised there.

So yeah, that's pretty much my entire thoughts on it. I'd love to spoil a lot more than this, but I've done what I could to give an objective (yet subjective) review on this material. It definitely is one of my favourite Harem manga for sure, up there with NIsekoi,

Okay, until next time.
