I always were a big fan of time travel stories, so i grabbed this one eagerly. Even though time travel is barely part of the concept here, that still would be fine for me, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
First of all, after reading synopsis one would think that the guy traveling back to the past to change the future would be the protagonist, right? Well not a chance, he's only a side character, telling the "real" protagonist what to do, as if that weren't misleading enough his goal is rather ridiculous from the beginning. So let me get this clear - if
...
the protagonist has children with any of the girls, that'll cause the appearance of the horrible virus which will destroy humanity, but there's one girl, childhood friend, who wouldn't cause this, so the guy from the future came to make sure the protagonist will have children with her...Great, it's like saying "hey i saved the house from fire, by not causing one! I'm a hero!" Wouldn't it be better to forbid him having children, or taking him out as a last resort? It's cruel, i know but wouldn't that be a million times easier, safer and would make more sense!
Anyway, ignoring this giant plothole everything else is decent enough. Artwork is great, clear and beautiful. Dozens of ecchi scenes, several characters points of view, some drama and romance, even supernatural battles. In other words this manga has a bit of everything.
Yet they could have made it better and that's a bit disappointing, no wonder it spans barely 11 chapters. So overall it's still quite enjoyable to read, but if you're looking for a really good "space-time-supernatural-action" better look elsewhere.

First of all, when I picked this manga I though it'll be a typical adventure fantasy, but should still be a good way to kill time. However I'm glad I was wrong...
This piece doesn't look like it at all on the first glance, but be warned it contains a lot of bloody scenes. Men and women sliced to pieces, tortured to death or some other way falling victims to human cruelty in high detail, just like in medieval real life. It does display the world in more mature way, but it's not dark and depressing. Funny scenes and dialogues, interesting characters does lighten the mood
...
nicely.
Speaking about characters they are very well-made. Every one of them has an interesting background that is revealed eventually. Protagonist is also nicely designed, he's not some sort of naive idealist who only gets beaten up and defeats enemies by some dumb luck or "nakama powerup". He's still a bit naive and young, but fully understands that he has to stain in blood his hands to reach his goal, he's torn by that but is convicted to do so and does whatever it takes to defeat his enemies even uses dirty tricks. Plus he's capable in combact, not overpowered, but doesn't suck as well to only be toyed by enemies most of the time, like usual protagonists in these mangas.
That being said, battles here are also entertaining, action and top notch artwork ensure plenty of entertainment. And it's especially awesome that scenes are not dragged on like mainstream crap. When the battle starts in a chapter then most of the time it reaches conclusion in that same chapter, same with the flashbacks etc. Author does a great job not making it boring for the reader so far, I really love that.
There are some plotholes which made me to refrain from giving full 10 out of 10. The main one is that the main villain is made perfectly clear, the corrupted prime minister makes the life absolutely miserable for everyone in entire country, so the protagonist joins a group of assassins to take out him and all other trash officials. Thats all cool and OK, but i fail to find the clear reason what's stopping those assassins to simply moving in and taking out that minister-scource-of-all-evil and be done with all that, they seem capable for that, so why have to drag it out moving around randomly killing it's lackeys and simply waiting until all forces will be thrown again'st them only making it harder. I'm sure some reason could be found by speculating, yet such important detail should be made clear in the beginning not left for reader to guess. At least that's what i think.
Overall it's very enjoyable manga with entrancing storyline, and hopefully becomes even better in further chapters.

Once another manga from type "A boy open something he normally shouldn't and cute supernatural girls comes to his care" yet...
Art: 10/10
Great artwork, in both details and chatacter drawing, just like in any manga should.
Character: 7/10
Characters are interesting enough, yet it's difficult to understand most of their roles/purposes.
Story: 3/10
Sadly, story just drags this work down to the bottom. New characters simply pop out of the blue and disappear in same manner, none are given any clear background or the purpose for their existence. Events are just happening by skipping most of the important details, it's as if all of this are thoughts
...
spilt straight out of author's head, without bothering to properly put them together.
Overall: 6/10
This manga would have a potential but is hellishly rushed. In my opinion there are a lot better short stories of such type out there.

A set of 3 different school romance stories. Great artwork, the stories themselves are not very special or unique, but sure gives a lovely heartwarming feeling, as any good romance should.
That being said, this manga would probably be more favored by female readers, but everyone looking for some romance relaxation should like it.
