Mixed Feelings
Spoiler
To keep this brief for people that don't want to read the whole review. If you don't like fan service/Ecchi, and cliche stuff this is not your show. If you are looking for the typical rom-com with fan service and good characters this is your show.

Spoilers begin now!!
Grading scale from @Mcsuper.

Story 12/25
The plot is cliche but with a bizarre twist related to the marriage practical thing. Overall, the story is quite predictable and honestly, it all comes down to the characters not being honest with themselves and not being brave enough to confess their feelings which is very typical for a rom-com. The most interesting part of the plot is Akari's story because she actually gets conflicted about her true feelings now that she has to live with someone (Jiro) while still in love with Tenjin. The love triangle is entertaining and you can even feel uncertain about with whom Jiro is going to end.

Art 8/10
The art is probably the strongest point of the show. The animation is great in most chapters, there are just a couple that is poorly animated. The character design is really cool, they did a great job in portraying Akari's and Shiori's personalities in their design.

Music 8/10
The music is also good, I loved the ending theme and the OST does a good job as well.

Characters: 15/20
The main character Jiro is pretty annoying since he is a coward and he has almost no character development during the whole season. The other two girls have to take the initiative all the time and he can never take a single decision by himself. He does some stuff he would never have done at the beginning of the show but still, he lacked more development. The two other protagonists, Akari and Shiori, did have better development over the chapters and I like them a lot. Akari had a journey to understand her own feelings, she takes the initiative with her love interests a lot and has a great personality. Shiori does the same as well although she does a lot of nonsense things such as kissing Jiro twice and not even confessing her feeling to him. Like, how is easier to kiss someone twice than tell him you like him? The other characters are just fine, some of them are funny like Kamo but they are not relevant to the plot and they did a great at not giving them unnecessary screen time.

Enjoyment 13/15
Even though I had to stop the chapters several times because of the number of cheese scenes and especially cringe scenes I really enjoy watching this show XD. All the characters except Jiro are very charming.

Thematic Execution 15/20
They did a good job with the marriage theme and the typical love triangle between a childhood friend and the pretty girl is on point. I would've liked to see a deeper plot on how conflicts may arise between two people living in the same house but they seem to have everything under control.

Final Score: 71/100
