As a romance manga it falls under the same problems as many; removing its characters and relying on troupes. In this case I found the characters to be really different from most protagonists and love-interests, not in their personalities, but the reason their connected.

This manga takes place in a high school setting in which an efficiency based student has set up a group of people who are different in every way to secure futures for all of them using his connections as their producer of a game they made. The connections and situations of each individual vary from a prodigy who's talent is unrecognized, a ... teacher who's stuck in her field due to tradition, or a seiyuu who's family has a disregard for entertainment.

I find these connections to be the most interesting part of the manga and not really the romance which is rare. That being said, it has it's faults and they come in packages.

It needlessly sticks to the troupes of most shojo romance anime with love triangles and the such. Has some stereotypical character personalities and if you can't handle the self-proclaimed annoying girls you really will not like this manga.

Beyond that it's a good read, the art is fine, and there are parts that really stand out to me personally.

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.
