I generally dislike perverted male leads but I will make an exception if 1.) their perverseness is unintentional/accidental ( example - 'To Love-ru') or 2.) I'm watching an ecchi comedy so some degree of perverseness is to be expected. ( example - 'Sora no Otoshimono')
There is a certain point however where I will drop the series, comedy or not.
Not at all. I actually do enjoy watching harems as long as they have a decent plot and most of all, strong character depth and development. Though that's not always the case, I might make exceptions from time to time. But as long as an anime succeeds in whatever it is it's trying to portray, I will like it.
In a nutshell - a coherent and believable plot and an emotionally engaging development between the male lead and the female cast. Just like romance anime, but with actual sex scenes.
Read my review on "Hatsu Inu" for further details.
It's much better than the anime and it has its fair share of flaws (don't expect Cecily to do much, though she's at least smarter and more capable); I'd say the manga is worth reading.
There's some silly plot developments and one obvious retcon, but you'll probably think it's for the better (or not).
I don't really consider ~30 odd chapters a serious investment so you can take my word with a grain of salt.
The MC is usually a blank slate for the audience to project themselves onto.
When your target audience consists of herbivores, it's obvious what you gotta do to sell.
I very much appreciate an MC with balls and a libido.
The order isn't shuffled or anything. Just some skipped chapters is all.
Harems are a man's romance. Of course I'm in agreement with others in that harems can be generic and crappy, etc. and I also dislike non-endings, but I just can't say no to harems.
They actually really dragged it out. They took out some early chapters so they could have Rika and Yukimura join in and do stuff sooner. This ended up offsetting the ratio and making more video game and beach/pool episodes than one season really needed.
The drama was also ramped up.
Depending on what they choose to include in S2, there will definitely be more shipworthy moments. Though, true harem end is best end.
Plus is sort of a "what if" story. It's obviously not "faithful" since it's an alternate set of events, but the characters do share their personalities. It's only two volumes so expect a (very) compressed story. If you like the series and want more Sena and Yozora by all means check out the spinoffs.

Not sure if you noticed I "just added" him or anything. I accidentally cleared my favorites and had to re-add them.
I prefer the opposite.
