I've read through 75 chapters, all I can say is that the characters are everything for this series.
In no particular order. Sachi Umino, who is Nagi's sister, feels like an incredibly forced sister-brother romance character. We are lead to believe that she is simply confused about her feelings, but it is handled incredibly poorly throughout the story. She feels like the writer just needed to fill a trope and the interactions she has with Sachi end up feeling cheap and hollow. After the intro plot hook in the beginning Sachi suddenly starts developing feelings
...
for her Brother, but can only express these feelings through jealousy and passive aggressiveness towards him. All while the audience is constantly reminded that yes Sachi is indeed a part of Nagi's harem of women and its cool because they are not blood related. Despite the fact that they grew up together and should have no romantic attraction to each other.
Erika Amano is actually a likable character. She certainly fills a trope but she fills that trope well. Nagi and her will often get into shenanigans in various situations and the interactions between them are quite cute at times. I especially enjoy when they put on matching outfits when they go out in public to hide from the public eye or just to have more fun in whatever they're doing. There are also multiple occasions when she shows genuine concern for Nagi's wellbeing. Nagi returns the favor by being kind to Nagi as well throughout the manga, while not quite as frequent as Erika. There is a genuine connection between them and overall Nagi is a compelling character, and she's hot.
Hiro Segawa was also a pleasant surprise in the series. While at first you're not quite sure what to think of her, once she starts interacting more with Nagi there is a great connection between them. Some of these other reviews say that Nagi is just being used, but I'd argue against that. They go out on dates and she is very happy to have someone to go with her. She didn't have many friends growing up, same as Erika, and now goes on dates with Nagi to amusement parks, karaoke, etc. My favorite was when they ended up stuck in a rain storm and shared a room together. The banter these two have together is really heartwarming and genuinely feels like two teenagers just having a good time. Although those interactions are usually cut short by some other member of the harem interrupting them.
Lastly Nagi Umino is the reason I dropped the series along with his sister. For every good thing Nagi does he says or does an equally horrible or stupid thing. It gets worse the more you read and I really wanted to drop kick him for being insensitive towards Hiro on multiple occasions.
Over all Ehhhh, Hiro Segawa best girl.
