Started great, ended not so great

The best friend trope in anime is one of its largest. Typically, the childhood best friend in a romance anime turns out to be the loser in the romantic triangle. This series twists that trope by rooting for the "childhood best friend" to actually win. Initially, it was something fresh off the table, creative and fun. I like how they gave more flesh to each of the main protagonists by giving them additional purposes/goals other than romance. Along the way, the anime copied the typical harem formula growing less peculiar and more stale. The energy in the beginning obviously did not match the end. However, the animation was good along with the voice acting.
