Personally, this is a romance manga you shouldn’t take that seriously. While I am saying this prematurely without the context of the light novel, this manga has so far used many saturated, overdone romantic comedy tropes that are juxtaposed with its almost too self-aware, kinda no-nonsense protagonist to the point of seemingly satirical, humorous jabs at other series, particularly those of the harem-romance genre. The weaving of the story so far with this usage of tropes in mind thus makes for a *very* hilarious ride, but only if you are patient with how exaggeratedly trope-y and ‘annoying’ the female characters are to begin with: (1) a huge, huge tease and (2) an extreme tsundere (without the physical violence).

If I were to describe this manga with one word, it would be “wack”, and I love it precisely because of the ridiculousness and hilarity (and the few cute bits of romance) that ensue from this wild cast. My enjoyment will partially influence my score this time as I give it a preliminary 7/10, and I genuinely look forward to seeing where the light novel (and this manga adaptation) go.
