Yes, like almost everybody else, I wanted to read this because I thought it might have been a hentai or something similar along those lines. However, after reading it, I am disappointed by the story and regret reading it.The only thing that I enjoyed about the story was the art. Other than that, there hardly is anything good about it.

I'm going to talk about a problem with the manga. This next part briefly delves into the plot. A little bit of a description of what's happening, the premise is about helping people be at peace and good health in order for the succubi to ... earn a little bit of their vitality. The issue with this is the fact that the plot doesn't go anywhere at all with that idea. I understand that it is supposed to be a slice of life, but that shouldn't be an excuse for how terrible the story is. Even with slice of lives, we're given a big plot and the events that the characters experience help progress the story to reach that overall big idea. Literally, nothing happened within this story. I felt like we're still at square one when the manga ends. Any semblance of character development is minuscule and the only semblance of plot would be the male lead being nice to win over the female lead's friends. After introducing the character, which is around chapter 3 or 4, you can switch out any of the latter chapters with chapter 5 and there would be no difference in the plot. No new information is given, nothing has changed, and there is no character development. Each chapter is basically a different rehash of the previous chapter because the author isn't able to come up with any new ideas. I honestly felt that it's a waste of time to read if you don't enjoy the artwork because it lacks a lot of components of a story. To the point that the ending of the manga felt more like a build up to a climax rather than a resolution to their story. The only time that I felt that there was going to be any progression was when the author tried to take a risk by introducing an interesting plot point. Yet, we're only teased with the possibility and it was abandoned all together.

Another thing that I disliked heavily about the story was the fact that the characters are so 1 dimensional and badly written. The two protagonists have very little chemistry; The author teases that the two characters could be in a romantic relationship many times, but it's' not something that I can stand behind. Their entire relationship doesn't feel natural and it is never shown why they care for one another. This doesn't help with the fact that this romantic plot is something that other characters try to push for as well. In the story, the male lead should just be another number on her list of vitality producers, but something's different about him that makes her like him. What's so special about him? I can't answer you because there is nothing interesting about the male lead. He's just a tired but optimistic guy for the entire 26 chapters. The female lead's entire character is boiled down to two things: she works too much and that she likes the male lead. That's it. The author overuses the trope that the main character is very innocent and isn't a horn dog, to the point that the trope is the premise for several chapters. The first few times, it was sort of funny, I guess, but when you have several chapter dedicated to this trope, it honestly feels like a waste of time to read and uninteresting.

3/10, and that is me really high balling it. Like it could have taken a much different route. Don't make it a slice of life if you don't have a direction for potential plots. If you wanted to tease throughout the entire manga that there could be a romantic plot, just go for it. It would have been much more interesting than you testing the waters and immediately jumping back out
