Countrouble follows the story of a boy who gets a visit from a cupid like angel Sasara, who then proceeds to serve as matchmaker between him and the girl of his dreams. She then proceeds to wreck havoc with his life, often casting love spells that all are dependent on the number 10 for some reason.

I can't say this manga is unique in anyway, but it wasn't the worst thing I've ever read. It's a fairly "by number" (no pun intended) harem/romance anime. It sits more on the romance side than the harem side, as he is fairly singularly focused on one girl, and most of the other girls interested in him don't really develop.

I felt as I read this manga that the author never really had a plan for it. He wanted to do a love cupid thing, started it, and then kind of just threw stuff around whenever he felt like it. In the end, you end up with a plot that can really only be described as scatterbrained.

It's coherent and easy to follow, but there seemed to be no plan. This becomes apparent the farther the author gets into it. He'll introduce side characters only to have them just disappear. A good half of them never develop properly. His childhood friend, which makes the major source of conflict in the first half of the manga, seemingly just disappears when it becomes plot convenient, as does her angel, who was working in opposition of the MC's cupid.

The entire story has this flow. Nothing gets foreshadowed. The author decides suddenly he wants one character to have a sister, that sister just happens to show up and be used for the duration of that chapter. There is never any sign of development building over multiple chapters. Sometimes, he'll even backpedal relationships, forgetting events that already happened.

From a humor perspective, the manga is self aware, making fun of it's own genre and breaking the 4th wall from time to time. However, the story never really became much better for it. By chapter 20, I was ready for the whole thing to be over. The characters themselves seemed to even realize this, one character stating that the only reason she was still there was because otherwise the manga would be over. Sorry, if even the author realizes he's out of story and just stretching it, making a joke about it doesn't negate the fact that that's what you're doing.

On the plus side, the manga is well drawn and amusing and is a nice light read. If you're looking for a light romance, with some comedy, and very light harem, this would be a good one for you. It's kind of like the junk food of the manga world. It's not going to win awards, but it'll keep you entertained and satisfied.
