It's a very, very cliche story. There are a lot of times where the dialogue between characters is really cringe and just consisting of some awkward ecchi situation and then, afterwards, both the protagonist and the female would be all shy and stumbling over their words apologizing. There's lots of moments like that.
The manga doesn't hold back with the over-the-top ecchi and outrageous bust sizes, but, while I might be alone in saying this, I actually found that it was part of the series charm. The way it was just unapologetically over-the-top in its fan-service and the assets of the female characters
...
I found to be one of its strengths. While some easily offended prudish snobs might scoff at the site of the very well-endowed middle schooler, I found it to be part of the reason the series was enjoyable; something so ridiculous was comedic to me and, for that reason, enjoyable. Where others found disgust, I found humor and I suspect that's why I had a better experience with it.
The art is kind of hit and miss. Sometimes it looks really nice and the characters are drawn in a really appealing way. Other times, however, their hands look like monkeys and their ears are bigger than their eyes. It's not he most consistent, but the ones that don't look right are in the minority of panels. Most of them look fine, with a few of them look really nice.
One thing I would say that the characters had going for them, is that each of them were very unique. There are a lot of characters in this and it's one of the larger harems that I've seen, even if it's not "quite" a harem. Each of the characters have their own unique quirks and personalities to them and have an adequate backstory to them. Some characters were more interesting than others and more time was spent developing some characters than others, so it wasn't really balanced across the large number of characters. A lot of them were pretty likable, though. I especially liked Kirika, Chiharu, and thought Miharu was a pretty good character as well.
I would say that the most disappointing thing about the series is the pacing and ending. It doesn't really resolve anything at the end and doesn't have a satisfying ending. As I mentioned, there are a lot of characters in this, but, while a lot of them have their own arcs, most of their arcs didn't ever feel finished. There were also characters that were introduced for a single chapter towards the end or in the beginning and that was the only time they were there. I felt like they should have gotten some more focus and be developed a bit more. The last several chapters are essentially just more "filler" arcs for certain characters, rather than a conclusion to the story. It feels like there were supposed to be a couple more volumes before the series concluded. You could sense that things were getting close to resolving like they were leading up to an ending that would happen a few chapters later, but then you get to the end and... that's it. So, if not having a satisfying conclusion bothers you, you might want to look elsewhere.
This is not a deep manga, by any stretch of the imagination, but I think that people judge it a little too harshly just because they're personally offended by the fanservice and the characters' huge assets. It also does suffer from pacing issues, being cliche, and the ending not being very satisfying. However, if you can look past that, it's actually not that bad. It isn't going to win any awards, but I enjoyed it. If there had been more of a resolution at the end, I would have enjoyed it even more, though.
