You don’t need to watch this and I would honestly recommend you don’t. If you’ve seen any harem show at all, you’ve seen this; hell, you’ll be able to predict beat-by-beat where it goes. The only “edge” I would give this show is its adult cast. Everything else about it is bland.

This is Seo Kouji, the mangaka, at his worst. His first hit, Suzuka, touched on relevant topics that few mangaka dare touch on—I appreciated it. His next hit, A Town Where You Live, was a slogging melodrama that nonetheless hit the right notes at the right time to keep audiences engaged. His third hit, Fuuka, was… controversial but ultimately brave.

In contrast, this work is so by-the-numbers that I can only assume he wanted to produce a hit big enough that he could retire. Five women work at the café that our MC inherited. They all have a vested interest in seeing the café succeed and the women, like bowling pins, fall over as he helps them solve their longstanding childhood traumas that inevitably involve a terrible parent.

Theres romance but don’t expect it to move very far in twelve episodes. There’s “comedy” but it’s really just that each character has the same joke repeated for infinity (did anyone ever laugh?).
