After reading most of the chapters, I can conclude that I do in fact find this manga a meh. It's not too bad. It has plenty of cringy moments, but there is an equal share of sweetness to it. It's one of those mangas you just check off your list and move on, although if you are an otaku you can probably relate to this more.
Story - 6
There's not much to the story. It mostly involves character relationship development so nothing much happens. The progression is normal and the pacing doesn't feel off, so there's not much to worry about it.

Art - 6
The art is nothing special. It's more on the moe side of the 'anime art-style' spectrum, but it's okay on the eyes.

Characters - 8
Now, this score is a different story. First off, it's the average between the two main supporting characters and two main characters. Basically, it's the average for both couples. Now for the division:
Main characters - 5
Main supporting characters - 10
For the main characters, they are a very tiring bunch. The guy is an wimpy otaku airhead who can't keep his thoughts together and always relies on the main supporting characters for help, especially the male supporting character. The girl is a clumsy dandere who draws really well; she has some great reactions though. The only thing they have in common is their otaku interests.
For the main supporting characters, they are the salvation of this piece of work. The guy is confident, and loyal. He takes the initiative and isn't afraid to act when it's necessary. The girl is an overprotective tsundere that cares for her friend a lot and likes to put up a front.
The other supporting characters aren't that all important, but they help give exposition on the character's personalities.

Overall - 7
It's not too good, not too bad. It's something to check off your manga list. The only thing that saved this manga from being terrible is the main supporting characters.

Personal opinion:
The main supporting characters are the only saving grace of this manga. Their side story romance is much cuter and doesn't feel annoying unlike the main character's. They have a mature take on things (although the tsundere side of the supporting girl gives it some spice) and help the main characters somehow gain their own foothold on things.
