This manga was a pleasant surprise, I was actually really interested in it. Sadly, if you've read this, it got axed, so the ending is pretty shit. Everything else had the makings of being a fun little romcom though, which is super depressing. There's nothing worse than seeing something you like get axed. I'm sure there were reasons for it, but it hurts nonetheless.

The romance was good, the comedy was good, and the characters were interesting. I'm not very good at super in-depth descriptions so I'll just do my ratings.

First number is my rating, second number is my expected rating for the average person.

Main characters: ... 10/10 | 7/10
Side characters: 7/10 | 6/10
Plot: 8/10 | 7/10
Art: 9/10 | 8/10
Romance: 10/10 | 8/10
Comedy: 7/10 | 7/10
Ending: 5/10 | 4/10

I'm aware I rated this a bit higher than the average, and that's because I was actually super interested in it. I'd say it's slightly better than your average high school romcom. It has a somewhat unique premise, art style is...alright, nothing to drive home about, and the characters I found to be funny.

I'll say though, if there's any manga that's pretty good at making the reader's heart skip a beat, it's this one. It's on the level of a shoujo manga almost in that sense. It might've gone on a bit too long at some points, but it was still good. The side ... characters in this story were easily forgettable, making it drag on since the only engaging characters were the main ones. It's nowhere near the horror of Rent-A-Girlfriend, though.

I think with this one, I'm going to start rating different aspects of manga and giving them a score out of ten, to show what my feelings are a little better. The first number is my rating, the second number is what I think the average reader would rate it. I'll come back later and edit this and my other reviews if I have more categories.

This is actually a pretty quick read despite the chapter count. It's relaxed, nothing crazy, just a silly little romance story with a good ending. I don't really have much more to say about it, honestly. For people who dislike the basic boring harem trope, this is a good breath of fresh air. It's like the Saiki K of the romance genre, if Saiki K wasn't already the Saiki K of the romance genre.

The characters were fun and entertaining, and I wouldn't say I latched onto any in particular, but I didn't dislike anybody. It's a wholeheartedly pretty calm story, and worth reading imo.

I'll do ... my ratings. First number is my rating, second number is my expected rating for the average person.

Overall, I think this manga had some very good points. I think my only problem I had with it was the ending. There weren't any things I found insufferable (apart from Ichika) and I was hooked on this manga. I think I read the whole thing in 5 hours or something because I wanted to know how it ended

Was that worth it? Yes, because I enjoyed my time, but also no, because I hated the ending. I've never seen a manga apart from this one where I needed doujins (the non-sexual kind of course) to get a better ending. The ending itself isn't poorly crafted. ... In fact, I'm sure it was great for the people that liked the girl who won. It's just, none of the favorite girls won, and that's where the backlash came from. I think the author knew who would win from the first chapter, and people just latched onto the wrong quintuplets.

Here's my ratings, first number is my rating, second number is my expected rating for the average person.

Ending (if I wasn't being serious): 0/10

This manga is amazing; I loved it. The modern take of Romeo & Juliet was super intriguing (although not as much as the Leonardo DiCaprio movie), and I ended up loving it. The ending ended up being about 95% fulfilling for me; not many manga have great endings. The humor is at times hilarious and at times bitterly unfunny (aka "funny" perverted situations), but in my case this can be easily overlooked.

It's pretty fast-paced for a manga of its length, and not exactly a slow build of romance. Personally, I ended up liking the side characters more than the main characters. It's a problem ... that I think most manga of this kind end up with, where there's only so many ways you can make romance intriguing, so you have to rely on side characters to intervene, or even make them into the main characters for a bit. I know that there's some people who hate side characters and just want to see main characters, though, and I understand that. I'd much rather see side characters than see the same blushing or love triangle situation for the 100th time.

Here's my ratings, first number is my rating, second number is my expected rating for the average person.

This is definitely one of the best romance mangas, and probably mangas, of all time! The first half of it is a bit more lighthearted, slapstick comedy, while the second half tends to lean a lot more into the romance between the many different characters. I've seen people dislike this shift; if you don't like romance, it might get a bit harder to continue as you read. The first half is still very much worth it, though.

The pros definitely outweigh the cons; the characters are all very interesting and engaging, even the side characters, the art style is great (to me), and the comedy is ... actually very funny. I don't normally laugh out loud at manga, but this is one of the maybe half dozen that have done it for me. The romance itself is engaging, it's a very slow build, but worth it in the end.

Here's my ratings, first number is my rating, second number is my expected rating for the average person.
