Do not listen to what other reviewers say about this manga. Try it out for yourself. Read at least a bit before going straight to the conclusion that this manga is bad. It is an odd one, but it is definitely one worthwhile reading.

Thoughts (tiny bit of spoilers):
The anime did not do justice to such a great manga. Though the anime faithfully adapted most of the first 70 chapters, it did leave out a few important character arcs. The first 100 revolves around the conflict between the sisters, but one will leave the story for quite some time soon, therefore the good stuff starts from ... 100 or so chapters in. If you have successfully read up to that point, you will soon notice that the manga is not all about an incestuous-polyamorous love triangle and pedophilia. Once the reader goes past the core romantic plot of the story, the theme of the story shifts back to the daily lives of college/uni students. We meet a lot of new characters from there, each with different personalities and different backgrounds, meanwhile touching upon the different aspects of life in Japan. We get to witness the life of a writer, an alcoholic/drug dealer, average worker in a restaurant and a prostitute. Following the main character, we can learn about the difficulties of each person and how we can take action in helping them. Leaving the slice of life topic, the story goes back to the casual romantic trope. We get to see how a proper romantic relationship should work out, quarrels and disagreements between the couples with them resolving the problems through communication. Though the long lost girl comes back in the last 50 chapters, things go smoothly and respectfuly until the last 10 chapters. If I have to list flaws in the manga, this is probably the biggest one. The last 10 chapters were absolutely rushed and completely deviated from the main plotline/route the characters are heading towards. Sasuga sensei pulled a 360 no scope on us, completely flipping us off with a series of unexpected events. I will not go in details of the ending, but you, the reader, has probably got spoiled in some way so betetr get prepared for the rollercoaster. The ending is disappointing to us manga reader, not only is it rushed, it just does not make sense in a lot of people's eyes. But it is what it is, at least the 260 ish chapters before were good...

Rating: 9.5/10. -0.5 of for ending.

this is such hot garbage i couldnt look away. its like watching a monkey swallow a hand grenade. there are stakes, character arcs, consequences but oh my f**** god this is a real piece of work (in the "not good" way).
the visuals are good, the characters and their actions are believable, no matter how infuriating what they do may be. personally, i learned a lot about how to structure and write stories, both from the manga itself and the actions of the MC, who is an aspiring author.
overall, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and I cannot saw whether I would read it again if ... I could turn back time.
it has considerable nudity at some points (if I remember correctly), especially at the beginning. I find this to be disappointing, as it shows that the author was relying on other methods to draw in readers at the beginning, and shows they didnt have faith in their material, however as time goes on, the amount of nudity decreases.

When I started reading Domestic girlfriend it actually a great manga and everything but further it went more it got fucked up. I mean what the fuck Natsuo was about to get married with his pregnant girlfriend(Rui) in spite of that I would have been fine with Natsuo ending up with Hina if Natsuo really had feelings for Hina but NO Kei Sasuga had to make Natsuo marry her out of the guilt he felt there was no real romance between Natsuo and Hina in the ending it was only Natsuo wanting to make Hina happy so, fuck this shit the ending is Sooo FUCKED ... UP!!!!
