Borderline H, plain and simple. if you want legal hentai, here you go.

story-6: its the usual harem romcom kerfuffle, now with time travel. If you are expecting a serious story about the ramifications of time travel on the future, or a feels trip about the existence of the other harem members should the mc choose one of the girls, then look even further, for thats not why you should read this manga. It has a good premise wasted just to give a reason to show some skin or some underwear here and there. Much potential to tell an engaging and heartfelt story about the daughters ... and their disappearance should MC choose a girl, shoved aside cuz lol boobs. Becuz of that the show's 'plot' deserves an 11/10 cuz there is plenty of it.

Characters-8: The stars of the harem romcoms. They make or break a harem series. In this case, they are decent enough to keep you going through. We have the tsundere childhood friend, the moe blob cousin, and the no-chance-in-hell class rep. With them are their daughters, each coming from a different timeline where the mc marries one of the three. Together, the daughters fight among each other to get the mc to marry their respective mother so that they can exist, but in doing so rob the others of their existence. Buuuuuuut, thats the extent of their character development. Most of the humor comes from the fanservice and misunderstandings between the daughters, the main harem and the MC. Yes the daughters also have fanservice, and i think their age may turn off some people. Ultimately, they are enjoyable for only about the duration of the manga, and none of them are particularly memorable.

Art-8: The art is good, as expected of an ecchi series. Since the whole point of this manga is to market fanservice, then they better do it well. The characters are a bit difficult to tell apart, espescially between the class rep and 2 of the daughters, but this is probably just me, and even i managed to tell them apart soon enough. The fanservice is drawn well enough and all the curves are all in the right places with the appropriate expressions. There is loli fanservice as well, and if you are not comfortable with it, you may want to skip this...or give it a try. Who knows? You may grow a new fetish.

Enjoyment-8: I actually liked this manga. Sure the story had missed potential, but i was looking for an ecchi harem romcom to pass the time, and it delivered. Its not steins gate, but its passable. I may have forgotten the characters, but i remembered my time with the manga.

Overall-8: its an ecchi harem romcom through and through. It has decent fanservice and humurous character interactions that make you feel at home if you are a harem romcom fan like me. It breaks no boundaries, but because of that it stays within the expectations of a harem romcom enthusiasts. if you do not like heavy fanservice, then this isnt for you. Look elsewhere.

Overall/Enjoyment:9
For some people harem is like the black genre you wont like to read because it usually ends with nothing happening this series is a bit different than most because it does have an ending with a bit of satisfaction...
Story:9
thou a lot of stupid antics were coming out of nowhere like you would expect from a borderline-H work it still follows a storyline and also uses most previous works for the later chapters and even thou the series got hacked in the end the ending is a lot better than most series that were extended to a point of losing most of its "flavor"
Character:8
the character ... design were not exceptionally great but if you consider how they relate to each other it does come out as a bit of a side gag for the story
Art:7
this is probly the only thing i wish was improved throughout the whole series with this being a borderline-H series you would want more detail in art but the messy style of presentation did have a few merits

for those wanting to read something with alot of fan service, a lot of laughs and not much drama this is probly the series for you

Time travel is one of my favourite Sci-fi sub genres, however there are a lot of different variations of it:
- Going back in time to change the future.
- Going back in time and altering the past, thus creating a parallel possible future.
- Going back in time to ensure that certain past events occur, because everything is seamlessly connected.
Yomeiro Choice uses a bastardized version of all three, to form it's inconsistent plot. But in the end none of that really matters, because why complain about the usage of science theorems, in a mediocre harem, ecchi, rom/com.

And just like in any harem, there ... has to be a protagonist and it comes in the form of (the generic male protagonist #517) Saku Sakuraga. He lives alone, like all Japanese boys supposedly do, but is never given a moment's piece, thanks to his childhood friend's constant meddling and his cousin's sudden arrival. Yet if that wasn't enough on his plate, an odd little girl appears outs of nowhere; claiming to be his daughter from the future, who's travelled back in time to ensure her Dad will procreate her... and she isn't the only one. Well that's it for the basic premise and like I said earlier, the time travel aspect merely plays second fiddle, making this into yet another implausible story where some hapless guy has to pick between multiple girls. However the reasoning behind it all is kind of farfetched. As for the structure of the story, it's exactly what you'd expect, with each chapter having a theme or character focus, to provide opportunities for some comic relief but never really doing much to advance the plot. The comedy and ecchi mostly come from the numerous times the daughters forcefully try to get involved, bringing their future tech into their shenanigans, but it's nothing more than a bunch of uncreative jokes that got old in the days of Love Hina & Tenchi Muyo.

Another thing that got old was the art style. To the mangaka: So what if you can draw cute girls in ecchi (borderline hentai) situations. It doesn't mean anything if little-to-no effort is put into providing a unique look and feel to those cute girls in their ecchi situations. In the end the art of the manga was boring, because it offered nothing new and looked really simplistic.

The characters themselves are simplistic. Heck, they are basically just cardboard cut-outs of what we are all used to by now. Nothing more to their personalities than the one-word captions used to think them up (i.e. Kuran=Tits, Karin=Tsundere, Mebuki, Kiiro & Hiiro=Lolis, Saku=Meh...) So yeah, there's nothing to the characters, but if you enjoy your characters simplistic, then you'll have a variety of them to choose from. Nevertheless they seem to lack any depth that'll make you care about them and by the time the mangaka tries to give them depth, it already feels like it's too late.

I remember that one episode of Futurama when Fry met his accident-prone Grandfather, in the past and takes it upon himself to ensure that his Grandparents hook up. But it was his involvement that killed his Granddad and in the end he became his own Grandfather. It's this kind of messed up feel that Yomeiro Choice has, but unfortunately it's no way near as entertaining. Certainly this manga does have some genuinely funny moments, but they really don't happen often enough, to fully redeem its shamelessness. If it wasn't for the time travel hook I really wouldn't care about it that much, but it can still be written off as just another generic harem, ecchi, rom/com; where some bland teenage boy ends up living with a bunch of easily attainable girls, with a whole bunch of jokes cropping up in-between. I mean sure, if that's all you're looking for then this little title could very well satisfy your need, but that's only if you don't mind: the badly put together story, some poorly executed jokes, a spoilt loser of a protagonist and heaps of non-consensual sexual activities (oh wait, if it looks like she's enjoying it then I guess it's OK).
