I don't know exactly how I feel about this series. I like it, but then again, there are some things I don't.
I'll just have to tell you something important before you watch this show;
It is not a harem.
Yes, the main character, Akamatsu, does hang around several girls at all times. But, there's only one girl in which the show romantically develops. This is a good thing, and although it's not a huge change, it feels different from the norm when it comes to romantic comedies involving several girls.

I'll make this a quick first impression, for people who are curious. I'll just say right now, this show isn't anything special. There's a lot of cliche involved here, mainly having to do with the sort of accidents where the main character ends up grabbing a girl's breast when falling over, and then getting hurt for it.

Thankfully, he's not necessarily dense. He notices and takes opportunities to get closer to Rino, the girl whom the show romantically develops. Although these aren't anything major, they're refreshing.

Other than that small difference, the show is an ordinary romantic comedy in terms of plot. For some odd reason, this show stands out for me this season, when compared to the other romantic comedies that are airing. I think it may be the atmosphere, which feels... I don't know. It just feels comforting, I suppose is a good word for it. It's silly and it's really not that serious at all.

I'd say give it a shot if you're looking for a relaxing romantic comedy to watch. The characters aren't too crazy or loud and neither is the execution or pacing. There are some scenes that made me laugh, but only a bit.

Don't come into this series expecting anything serious or unique. It's not. That's really all I should say.

Another thing I noticed that makes this show feel different than the other romcoms is it's type of comedy and it's lack of fanservice. Both I see as a good thing. There's fanservice involved but, it's not nearly as much as you'd think. It leaves more room for dialogue and actual character interactions in which both are fun to see in this show.

In the end, the show is average. It has its cute moments, and I'm glad the main character Akamatsu retains some sense of self in the end by doing what he wants, unlike a lot of dense main characters in romcoms. It's a good show, but nothing worth recommending or buying. It's relaxing, and it's good if you just want something to pass the time.
