Mild Spoilers, nothing you wouldn't understand from the first 2 or so episodes.
I think the point of this anime is that being a b*tch boy is not a good way to avoid hurting people.
Every primary character, apart from Haru, is hugely flawed and deeply frustrating to watch, but isn't that the point? Yeah watching 11 episodes of melodrama about Rikuo trying to persuade himself into confessing or pursuing Shinako is really ok or it might not be e.t.c. is incredibly frustrating but the grounding and relatability of a lot of the situations makes it somehow watchable. Every episode has these moments which freeze you and

makes you think. There are these single lines which let you realise perhaps things you yourself have done wrong, or haven't thought about in your own life, and not many shows can do that to you.
Nonetheless, the finale where the characters finally gain the self-awareness trait is an immense payoff. Even though the characters (again, Haru is the sanity-saving exception here) don't necessarily deserve the endings they get, the show has a pleasing and warm conclusion.
Overall, I would say watch the first couple of episodes, and if you can get behind watching 8 more episodes of frustrating melodrama, then absolutely it's worth the watch.
