I don't normally read these non-serious manga's so please forgive me if I'm a bit harsh, but after a while I got the tone of the manga and enjoyed it.

Story: So the story is good and funny, but I only rated it a 6 because I found there's a lot of filler. I know it's kind of a sitcom type manga, where every other chapter there is SLIGHT character growth, etc, but I got used to it. The situations are very ecchi, and are funny too, so I didn't mind. But again, the lack of plotline and character development (minus the main character) kind ...

The setting involving space is somewhat important because although the story takes place in contemporary Japan, ...

From there it's just random series of events where the MC ends up fondling ...
