*Note* This is a review summing up what reading Minamoto-kun Monogatari feels like regardless of its origins.

First of all, you'd have to read this looking for romance and borderline ecchi while being open to quite a few number of "preferences".

Reading Minamoto-kun Monogatari has been quite a blast for me, I kind of loved it really. Forr romance, I very much preferred and wanted the one girl wins over the Harem ending and I could say this manga provided me that; yet it also did not. Yes, I'm contradicting myself but hear me out.

The power of Minamoto-kun Monogatari stems from it's wide and nicely developed characters. Every target actually feels like a legitimate "Omg this is it" or "True end girl", this comes from how it develops each target which were seemingly made with the goal of "Best girl" in mind.

As you think your now Waifu is entering a Happy End with the MC, turns out that she isn't best girl. (It was me, DIO!) Why you ask? Because now, the new target is actually your Real waifu and Real best girl Really. And the next, so on and so forth. This is not a bad thing, in fact, it comes from how great the characters were developed. You learn who they are and what they are, until you find yourself caring for them and loving them altogether.

For every girl, I really felt like they were all "Best girl" while I was reading their parts. Everytime, my heart would beat so fast when a crisis arises which signifies that this is the one. Next scene you'd see me heads over heels for the new one. It's just what it is, you think you liked this character so much until the Manga decides "Nope, this is your waifu now!"

Each target is their own, but just as easily as you fell in love with one, you'd find yourself loving the next one more. Or so it seems but it's just the great character development. Each girl will tug at your heart strings, leave you hanging then dangle a new target in front of you leading to more romance, love & other delusions. That is the beauty of Minamoto-kun Monogatari

Long story short: Kaoroku Fujiwara is Bestest Girl.
