7/10 for me. Gets points for originality, a cute and mostly angst free romance between the two MC (with almost no harem antics to speak of! A definite plus), a likeable cast, very good dialogue and most importantly, keeping the anime tropes to a minimum in the "real world", while allowing the tropes to exist in the erotic games. Also had some decent introspection and understood and accepted the absurdity of its own story.
All that being said, while the background art was fine (not spectacular but not bad), the character art gets like... a 3/10 from me. It's not getting lower because the author was trying to keep it realistic and none of the characters were intentionally deformed or anything (think Haruyuki from accel world, or that kid from the detective show with like 1000+ episodes), but otherwise it was pretty poor. The outgoing blond friend looked almost exactly like the main guy characters cousin. The only differences were the bangs (sharp vs flat) and a ribbon in her hair. The eyes on ALL the girls looked almost the same, as did the faces. Speaking of the cousin, while that storyline did end satisfactorily, I felt like she was completely unneeded. Why did we need to bring in another girl who has the same ability as the MC, and had the same romance interest? It certainly didn't improve the story. I assume the writer's editor wanted some conflict thrown in. But judging by how quickly the whole "cousin is in love with the MC" arc stopped, i assume ratings started to plummet and they canned the idea. Also would have liked a better ending chapter, but this one was fine.
Anyway, all around decent manga. Didn't excel at anything, but the good parts were good, and i definitely laughed out loud at some parts.
