Mixed Feelings
I actually kinda enjoyed this manga even though it has so many flaws.

The story is based on a gynophobic MC who learns that the most popular boy in school is actually a girl. It's a pretty stereotypical high school romcom harem type manga, so there's not much plot to be talked about. However, the plot is also where the manga draws its greatest offense. I am not sure how, but the amount of times main plot points were discarded to fit the story are actually insane. The pacing is also all over the place (though it's better here than in the anime). The relationship between the mains is sped through at a ridiculous rate in the beginning, then slows down to a relative standstill as other girls are introduced. They gynophobia is only really used if the situation calls for it and is mostly just an excuse for girls to have physical contact with the MC. The number of times the characters have to move two a new house is also staggering. All in all, the plot leave much to be desired if you want to look at it from a storytelling standpoint. The dialogue was also difficult to follow some of the time throughout the story, but this is probably a translation issue.

The characters aren't too much better. They pretty much fall into standard tropes, and aside from a few nice scenes where their actual character gets to shine, they're mostly just fighting to get with the MC and have no real development to speak of. I guess the tsundere and the rich girl do get their own little times of character development, but that's about it. There's also a few characters that I think the author wanted to do more with, but are kinda just there for like two chapters and never show up again but are treated as pseudo-main characters.

The art style is fine, nothing much to say here.

Overall, this is not great from a critical point of view. That being said though, this manga does have its own sort of charm to it. It's kinda fun seeing these girls fight one another for this MC in their own little ways, and the ending is pretty sweet and well deserved.

tl;dr- don't read it for what it actually is, but rather what it tries to be
