This show is hilarious. Fourth-wall-breaking like I've never seen, hilarious situational comedy, etc. The humor alone would be enough for me to give this show a 7 or 8 with just average to decent characters and story. Unfortunately, this show fails to deliver on that front pretty hard.
The characters are all extremely unlikable and unrealistic, starting with the protagonist, Joro. Joro is a gigantic scumbag, but in a good sort-of Kazuma from Konosuba kind of way. But unlike Kazuma, he pretends not to be a scumbag and fails to have pretty much any other redeeming qualities. Joro starts out the show trying to win the
...
affection of either his childhood friend or the president of the student council whom he assists, but both of them are in love with his best friend, Sun-chan (who is the actual best character).
Both girls start out the show asking Joro to hook them up with Sun-chan, which ends up being pretty hilarious at first but quickly turns into a big pile of melodramatic garbage after about three episodes. Every episode there's some new melodrama that turns everybody against Joro for no reason, and then by the end of the episode or in the next episode they all make up with Joro, again for no reason.
While all this is happening, Joro finds out that the only girl who actually loves him is the openly scumbaggy, manipulative, nerdy, braid-haired, glasses-wearing library assistant Pansy. Which is actually pretty hilarious at first and might continue to be if they went even deeper into that character, but it turns out she's just a kind girl who, as the trope goes, becomes beautiful when she puts down her hair and takes off her glasses. So she goes from kind of interesting to pretty boring real fast.
Each new episode churns out a new cute girl with at best a two-dimensional personality that she flip-flops between for no reason. Most of them go from normal to crazy inexplicably, but there's also one who goes from crazy to normal inexplicably. And most of them end up falling in love with our unlikable protagonist for absolutely no reason. And the show tries to shove all of them into each episode just to remind us how cute and annoying they are. The show is called "Are you the only one who loves me?", but in the end it's just another giant harem.
This show is a melodramatic piece of garbage with awful characters, but at least it's hilarious and the animation is pretty good. This show goes next-level in the fourth-wall-breaking department, even mentioning the singer of the OP by name while it's playing in the background in the last episode. And every time "the bench" comes up is pretty funny. So maybe the show is worth watching for the humor alone, but there's so many better shows that this should be pretty far down your list.
