7.0/10


Initially, I hated this manga because of how bad it actually is, and I was going to put this aside as one of those harem mangas with good art but a god-awful story; yet, this same god-awful storytelling was so charming to read as a refresher.

To be blunt, there should absolutely be no reason on why this manga is a harem — the mc’s ambitions are set clear, and the introduction spoils virtually half of the story; however, the harem genre doesn’t need to have good storytelling, since it’s one clouded with unfiltered fun due to how bad some of the cliches and events are ... executed.

At times, this manga does an in your face fan service for absolutely no particular reason, and at the next moment, there’s supposed to be this cute resolution to the most ridiculous of situation; and yet, all of the developments were so unhinged and ridiculous that I couldn’t help but be intrigued and smile.

The characters are about what’d you expect of a poorly done time travel harem — the mc is as pathetic as ever despite being a full-grown adult, and the fmls are all somehow in love with the mc after a brief interaction — but they are all so poorly done that their “bad archetypes” become increasingly entertaining.

Anyway, change your mindset when approaching this manga — I initially had this down as a 4 something, but then I realized that its entirety was pretty engaging and fun to read.


You guys know this is just my opinion, right?

Story
The narrative delves into themes of erotica, romance, and school drama. Kurose's journey back to high school is both captivating and thought-provoking, allowing readers to witness his growth as he attempts to rewrite his past. The interactions between Kurose, Mizuki, and the other characters create a rich emotional landscape. The story skillfully balances light-hearted moments with heavier themes, making it feel relatable and impactful.

Art
The artwork is engaging and perfectly complements the story. The character designs are distinct and expressive, effectively reflecting their personalities. The backgrounds are detailed, enhancing the atmosphere of each scene. Each page feels carefully crafted, drawing readers into Kurose's world. Moreover, the ... erotic scenes are depicted proportionately. I really enjoy this.

Character
The dynamics between Kurose and the supporting characters, such as Hoshimiya, Nanami, Sophie, Shiina-sensei, and Miu, add layers to the narrative, enriching Kurose's journey of self-discovery. The author understands how to sell the manga they are working on, especially since the target audience is primarily male; the character designs are enough to draw them in.

Enjoyment
Of course, I enjoyed this story—a love story blossoming in school, now revived. Kurose's feelings are mixed after he manages to meet the cute goddess Miu, only to discover a truly red fate.

The MC is a loser with no goals or ambitions and no resolve to do anything,
The dude has no ounce of redemption, without the woman, his life would be a loss regardless.

So a not so smart goddess rewinds him to the past and gives him the chance to start new by picking a new love within a year or something.

The Goddess is useless like Aqua but just a worse and the story pacing is very fast. Not even the uncensored chapters can salvage the simmering MID trash going on here. Though at the pace the story is going, I have a feeling it's going to ... be concluded in a matter of mere chapters?
