The best way you I can put it, is like Ouan High School Host Club. While it's certainly more problematic in the year of 2020+, it's still a very much guilty pleasure watch. It's fun and gives you the ability to root for someone in hopes of them getting together with Kai.
Though, like most, I do not like how the main character loses weight from severe depression in the very beginning. I feel like they very much glosses over that part and how everyone seemed to like her so quickly. We also don't get to have a lot of time with more side characters,
...
like Amane, who is meant to be her best friend, and yet beside fan girl moments and at the very end - barely see her. It also feels like the anime barely even focuses on the other's at all at times, and we know nothing about their personal lives - while other suitors have complete episodes regarding their homelives and relationships outside of the harem.
Three out of 5 of the main suitors are incredibly shallow, only liking her for her works at the beginning. Though, it is really nice to see that despite the competitive nature, they all truly learn to care about her and like her for her personalities - so much so the young versions of themselves would barely recognize them. Near the end, while still having that nature - are completely still open to the idea of simply being friends with her and everyone else in the group.
Every suitor character besides Shima seems to have their time to improve, even in the little things like focusing boundaries, and being able to be honest about themselves and how they feel. Shima feels much more like just another rich girl and more of a platonic soulmate than a romantic one.
While it can come off as fetishy for some, that's mostly just a stereotype of how how Kai is a otaku, someone incredibly into men loving men content. Anime feels more like her one true paring than any of the actual suitors, and the anime makes it incredibly clear.
Again, I highly recommend this if you're looking for something light hearted and fun to turn your brain off to.
