Synopsis

Shinichirou would rather spend his life playing games on the internet, but sadly he's the heir to a company. His grandfather deems his current life-style unfit for an heir, so he throws him into a house with eight young and beautiful girls. What's more, within one year he'll have to choose one of them as his bride. What will happen to him now?

tl;dr: A standard harem series that has great art and is amusing enough when all it tries to be is amusing, but it overall takes itself too seriously especially in regards to the ending.

This manga is a pretty generic harem rom-com with a premise that is pretty common in the genre. In terms of execution its only okay. First off, let me say that the greatest strength is definitely the art in my opinion, wherein it was all around excellent, with good designs, framing, quality, etc. The author is really really good at drawing frilly clothes and makes good use of that. Certain shots, such as some ... chapter covers and volume covers were exceptionally great. The story was a mixed bag. The heroines all have interesting personalities, but there are no real character arcs for any of them. They get almost no background and very little development. Shinichiroi does go through some development, in that he starts off lacking confidence and being completely indecisive and ends with some degree of confidence only being mostly indecisive. Still, the relationship development that does happen doesn’t feel particularly earned most of the time. In terms of plot, there isn’t really much beyond the premise, but it does have a lot of small segments of drama. I feel that’s the core of my problems with this manga. Having drama itself is fine, but I feel like this manga was taking itself too seriously. The premise is completely ridiculous, and the people reading this know that and find it an acceptable suspension of disbelief. So this trying to be more grounded in a sense just felt completely pointless and a waste as as a result most of the drama and conflicts just felt annoying. The just daily living slice of life with comedy and such was a lot more amusing and the parts focused around that were genuinely enjoyable, and they do make a significant portion of the manga so it’s not like all of its terrible. But whenever it would throw in conflicts trying to make the manga more serious or give it more depth, such as matters involving Shinichirou’s brothers, those portions just felt like a pain. On top of that, for the most part these serious portions never result in any significant change either, so they felt entirely pointless, but I guess at the same time that prevented them from hindering the enjoyable parts that much. The exception to that is the ending, which I once again, felt like it was taking itself far too seriously. How the path to the ending begins is incredibly abrupt. The entire thing is overtly melodramatic. And in the end, I feel that the direction it was taking the ending in was solid enough to be a good satisfying ending, but it tries to stay too grounded to really commit to it, and it just sort of ends in a way that doesn’t resolve things well enough and leaves things open with a potential of a good but ridiculous ending happening, but also very much leaving things open to a bad ending, so it’s not really satisfying at all. On top of that, in the omake it then veers into explicitly showing said bad ending as a joke, which is a really bad note to end on and just leaves a really bitter aftertaste.

Enjoyed, and yeah, satisfied? It can do better I think.

Interesting from the looks of the cover, then I started to read it. Whelp, the art is looks good. Entertained, so I continued and then the thought "Ah, this generic harem" appear, but still entertained and I continue to dig in and it end. Ok, story wise, ok. It's not good, but the is pretty good to my eyes, a lot of fan service... yeah, ok, I continue.

Mainly I only go for the art, the character art is good, maybe because I haven't found any manga with similar art that is better or maybe I have ...

I didn't think my 2nd review would be this hated

This is not the first manga that makes me stressed and hates the characters in it, this Harem genre may be common about choosing a wife but it will not escape the drama, of course it is natural and it is like that. The way the characters are made is very bad, the bad thing is when they are both, they always prefer doing perverted things rather than thinking about what to do in the future. The MC of this manga swears that he is super stupid, he is in ...
