Shinwa Ponchi is a comedy/harem style manga with a semi-interesting plot that never quite picks up the steam it needed to avoid being eventually axed. The main character Deigo is an odd fellow who wants to be left alone which is where most of the conflict comes from considering he has a plethora of goddesses around him trying to keep his "curse" in check. In a way this is kind of refreshing because he isn't a normal wimpy protagonist, but still there isn't enough conflict between him and the girls that is believable enough to make the series funny.
That aside, the romance aspect
...
of the manga is very light. There are some subtle hints of romance between Deigo and Soroko and some of the other girls, but this is never really developed in a way with any drama so it doesn't become a compelling part of the story.
That being said, Shinwa Ponchi isn't a bad manga for a light read, but it's easy to see how come it got axed. The mangaka basically failed to build up any tension or gripping plot to keep people interested, which is sad because the premise was actually somewhat interesting.
