I usually don't write reviews until I watch all the episodes or the season finishes, but figured I'd get this off my chest. Let me start off by saying great show.

The first episode starts with the cliche, "sucked into another world and is the chosen hero" setting that we've been getting shoved down our throats for a while, and it doesn't seem like it'll let up anytime soon. The difference this time is our MC is the self admitted "lame" shield hero.

Story
I got really invested into the story, the tone seems to be a little darker, or more serious as humor isn't a ... main focal point here. The first episode gave me a "Berserk" or "Akame ga Kill" vibe but with less actual blood and death. Right off the bat the show introduces a character you can hate, and puts the hero in a shitty situation. I love despair, and watching as characters struggle and go against all the odds (even though the shows only 6 eps right now).

Character
For me having a character you hate really sucks you into a show cause you just keep watching to see if they'll get their comeuppance. I know I'm childish. I've definitely felt alone before not so much as this MC, but when I see a character ostracized I just wanna see everyone eat their words. The show does a great job giving the MC someone he can fall back on and making that bond a solid pillar of what grounds the MC (and she's cute).

Art and Sound
Nothing to complain about here, I like the art style, the colors are more dull or neutral but it matches the tone. The characters are all well drawn and the girls are kawaii! The animation is top notch and the music and sound is all on point.

Enjoyment
I binged watched all six eps late at night after deciding what to watch next, and hated myself at work the next morning. NO RAGRETS. If you liked shows like "RE:Zero" or "Naruto" I would definitely recommend this anime. I enjoyed it so much I'm going to look into the manga.

At the very first chapters you have to question whether or not you're actually a pedophile for enjoying this manga.
Story-3
The story actually has an interesting take; a good for nothing 25 year old, who travels back in time gets to live out his days as a dirty minded 25 year old in a ten year old's body. I'm sure multiple people would want to travel back in time to redo their lives or to live out simpler days, but this manga isn't a drama it focuses more on the comedy and the innocence that you probably had as a kid, and then twists those ... innocent situations into straight up ridiculous sexual references. Maybe I have the humor of a dirty minded 25 year old but I did find myself laughing at the unrealistic situations. The story isn't deep, meaningful or meant to move something inside you. The author wrote it for people to have fun reading it, so it's not compelling in anyway.
Art-9
The artwork for this manga was really something. The characters are well drawn, and each chapter was nice to look at. He made the each girl distinguishable in their own right and dang cute.
Character-8
The characters themselves I loved. My favorite characters were, the too innocent for her own good Sayo and the super playful but dumb Manatsu. The MC doesn't go through major changes, he learns a lesson but I believe it's a lesson everyone would learn if they went back in time; to try harder. His feelings never change but the characters around him do. The story might be about a boy name Shouta but he is isn't the best character by far. I guess a harem is really only as good as the girls in it.
Enjoyment-8
I usually read manga on my phone while dropping a deuce and I would look forward to the daily deuce everyday to read this manga. The story made me feel nostalgic and think back to days in elementary school and how naive and innocent I was. The comedy hit a funny bone with me and I found it to be refreshing although I didn't like the ending or the girl he ended up with.
Overall-8
The manga has very strong lolicon themes and I do advise against if you do not have interest in that type of thing, but beyond me not wanting to read this in pubic this manga was a good find. If you're a lolicon, or a dirty minded guy with a childish sense of humor I would say read a few chapters.

So this is one of my first reviews but let me start off by saying that I did enjoy this show but there were a few things that prevented me from giving it a higher rating.
The story is a little different, not from the usual harem but the storyline behind it all. Something that would never happen in real life, but that's what animes are all about. It had a, "unique" situation.
A crossing dressing butler trying to keep a job? That's different.
The main Kinjiro though with a personal problem that prevents him from being with girls.
Reminded me of Girls Bravo. It's ... a slice of life show that of course doesn't follow any route to the episodes but the romance was lacking. With only 13 episodes I felt as if the characters were brought in late and were squeezed into the harem. The last episode added a love interest and then ends it right then and there. A season two would probably give this show a better rating than a 7 but I guess it wasn't popular enough. Like a lot of shows the ending is open ended but left me feeling kind empty since it ended like Oreimo season 2 without the OVAs.
The art was good, nothing lacking, but nothing really to add to your favorites for it.
Character design was pretty good. My favorite character was Usami, because I enjoy tsunderes and pig tails. The love interests were the usual bunch, the girl who is the prettiest girl in school, the tsundere that he unintentionally woos, a big boobed weirdo, and the main. It's pretty obvious the entire show that Subaru and Kinjiro are going to end up together like most RomComs it's predictable.
The enjoyment factor of this was high for me i laughed and wanted to watch the eps to see what happens. The humor is what made this show so appealing for me. Much like Baka and Test the humor was perverted and had funny stereotypes which I enjoy on a regular basis.
Though like most shows adapted and budgeted to early, end without an ending. This added in for the rating of a 7, but like I said before the romance didn't catch for me it didn't seem like they had a significant reason to be in love at that point, and when the show tried to get to serious I felt like it failed and was a little too dramatic about it.
Overall if you don't have anything to watch and could maybe use a laugh or two you could watch a couple eps of this.
