Well, what else to say about this manga that hasn't being said.

At first, it might look like yet another school harem about some teen that gets a new power and wins battles with his friendship power and gets lots of lucky perv-ish shots for some extra fanservice. I am more than happy to say that this is not the case.

Rokudou No Onnatachi is a manga that was a breeze of fresh air in the manga industry that was lacking in the last couple of years with bland and repetitive narratives, bringing a protagonist that actually cares about the people surrounding him and their happiness, ... while also maturing during the 233 chapters.

The art looks not great at the first 40ish chapters but certainly by the 200th or so chapter it becomes more refined and elegant while also being perfectly energetic and fitting for the style the serie was going for.

Great manga, it's impossible not to recommend, even thought to date, the last 10 chapters are not yet translated to english.

Let's be real here. This is a super trashy manga that pretty much fails at everything it does.

The premise is clearly meant to be a harem manga, but since they presented the unique girl at the begining it can only pretend to be for a few pages now and then. All new girls will be forgotten and the magic effect goes away when they are needed for something else. As a romantic comedy it has no romantic development, 120 chapters in it's still having flashbacks to the first arc becuase nothing really changed. I think the better arcs take from yankee manga, the battle by ... stages and gritting your teeth for your friends, but putting it next to Crows is a joke. Then you have the diverse female cast, the only ecchi moment happens during the loan shark arc around chapter 80 and you can tell it's not more common because anatomy isn't a strong point. All the girls look like cheap dolls with tiny arms and legs for a torso where the "sexy parts" are crammed together with no kind of sexual impact, much less body variety to take advantage of having multiple characters. I guess some people might like that the characters aren't particularly thin but they don't look good enough to tell if they're supposed to be that way (they're not according to dialogue). I think the most bizarre character design is the loli bancho with the worst limbs, and the biker girl gets the prize for looking generic enough to pass as a manga character. The comedy is the basic giving each character a gimmick and they repeat it every now and then, adding new characters to do the same but with a different gimmick. All of them really weak and with no depth (compared to something like Komi-san, not the peak of intelectual story telling either).

But I read 129 chapters, it's trashy enough to lend itself to binging and I guess it did a kung fu arc better than Blamo. If you want to waste your time it's decent enough

I arrived at "Rokudou no Onna-tachi" due to the anime, finding it somewhat entertaining. My curiosity about elements like the main character's powers, their ethical use, and the enigma of Himawari Ranna led me here.

However, after reading 233 chapters of the manga, I felt nothing. The characters are forgettable, and the story lacked additional elements to expand the world which seemed to me like an utter waste of potentially good story. The main character was okay at best. The power given by his grandfather allows him to meet new people and make friends while pursuing a peaceful school life, but it felt weak, especially for ... a battle manga. Despite being relatable on some level, the emotionally charged battle arcs seemed crucial to the plot, yet I found them extremely boring. The only enjoyable fight was the motorcycle gang confrontation between Aoi and Azami(not because they had this shared past or cuz of the lame motorcycle battle but i knew they'd end up together), and I wished for more moments like that. It seems battle mangas are not my preference; this experience felt rather stupid. The clown guy at the end annoyed me the most. I'm disappointed with this. It's fine for what it is.
