Story: 9
At it's core, the story is a girl coming from another world meeting the MC and disrupting his normal life. Yeah, it's a very cliche setting, but once you get 10 or so chapters in, you realize that the story development is very unexpected for this type of setting, mainly due to the fact that the original girls around the MC in this world aren't quite normal either.
One thing I really like with this manga is the pacing. I can honestly say there are no filler chapters, as each one either advances the current arc, pushes you into a new arc, or shows some meaningful relationship development between the characters.
Not to mention, the story itself continues to escalate in scale and wackiness which provides for a very interesting read
Art: 9
Art is subjective.....but personally I like the style, even though it might seem a bit safe. The girls are cute so who am I to complain.
Character: 9
Interesting mix of characters here...you have an Airhead, a Yandere, and a Tsundere making up the primary female leads, which casues some hilarious chain reactions and antics, although they do get a bit repetitive at times. I also enjoy the fact that all the female leads have generally the same amount of screentime/ importance
Supporting characters are also filled with personalities, each with interseting character designs as well. I appreciate the fact that they don't steal the spotlight too much, allowing us to focus on the lead characters
As for the MC, it's your tried-and-true "kind-hearted" "pushover" type of lead. To his credit though, he does do some things differently. For starters, even though he also gets embarassed by overt affection or nudity, he's generally able to keep a cool head about it. He's not some super dense dimwit either, being able to recognize fairly quickly when a girl likes him. Although he does fall into the category of a reluctant harem lead, he actually takes the harem somewhat seriously, promoting goodwill between the members, actively going on dates, and even using kisses as rewards. The above combined means that when some cute or embarassing interactions happen, you get actual romantic relationship growth, as opposed to the annoying constant reset of progress so many harem manga like to operate on.
Enjoyment: 9
From a standard RomCom standpoint, the jokes/dialogues/settings saren't neccessarily ground-breaking, but I do enjoy the little interactions now and then between the main characters. I was also intrigued by each arc's story, and in what the next arc would be. It constantly leaves me wanting for more. Finally as mentioned above, you don't get annoyed or frustrated from some contrived nonsense that tries to artificially lengthen the story.
But perhaps more importantly, this is one of the rare harem mangas that actually has a VERY high chance of a true harem ending (or at least a heavily implied harem open ending). There are numerous reasons for this, including the fact that the original setting already states the people involved will end in marriage, the fact that the MC while reluctant doesn't seem to be against this idea, the fact that there are already established polygamy relationships in the universe, even involving two of the female lead's moms. And the fact that generally, the girls have more or less accepted this kind of relationship. Unless the mangaka really decides to screw it up and does a memory wipe or complete reset, I think this one is safe in the bag.
Needless to say, this is RARE outside of ecchi/hentai works, and I treasure each series that manages to do it.
