It's a good story but massively overhyped, so temper your expectations

Are you tired of your standard romcom shonen formula where the MC refuses to confess because he is too scared and when he does try to confess, there is an external trope that blocks him (ie fireworks too loud to hear a confession)? Well get ready for a revolutionary new concept where MC and FMC are both too prideful and in denial to confess to each other and both try to trick the other one into showing affection first.

Look, it's definitely a fun manga that explores tropes differently, has a nice cast of supporting ... characters, and all the characters have development but it is quite honestly overhyped as can be. In nearly 300 chapters there was one moment I was choked up briefly with the romance and a small handful of times I slightly chuckled at the comedy, but overall I find that it is a series I start to forget the fine details of once I put it down. It's a fun read in the moment but I was not insanely hooked like I've felt with other romance and it's not as funny as I've felt with other comedy. When it comes down to it, the things that you expect to happen do happen and that's perfectly ok, but it's not revolutionary

No need for a long review, this is a very nice romance manga that is only held back by bits of repetition and predictable cliches. I binged this manga in about a week of my spare time and most of the story is fairly predictable and was a 6-7 for maybe about 150 of the chapters.

This manga is an 8 to me because it sticks the ending extremely well. Of the over 200 chapters, only three moments drew out a strong emotional response and very nearly cried, and all three of these moments were in the final 20-ish chapters. Even during these moments, things were ... pretty predictable and cliched moments but it was compelling nonetheless. Very nice light reading

Got to Chapter 60 before the harem drama was too much for me to stand. I came in looking for a cute romance between gyaru and average MC, but the problem is that this "average virgin" MC winds up having every single on screen female either fall in love with him or *just* flirt with him shamelessly and often with the real girlfriend catching it in the act.

I could accept average MC getting his hot girlfriend, and I was ok with the gyaru best friend flirting with him to try to break them up, but then it gets ridiculous when the oppai Loli and ... school Madonna start throwing their lower regions in the direction of "loser" MC. I cannot continue such a ridiculous plot

Pretty aggressively average, you'll find more satisfaction in an H manga. The artist is pretty great, but the author of the story unfortunately doesn't meet the same quality.

Many stupidly unlikely things happen with "plot" as the only justification. A lot happens with "hentai logic" and setup. I would say the most frustrating part of the story is that it truly had a lot of interesting potential, even if the premise is a dumb horny fantasy, but it got wrapped up in too many directions, and the whole evil organization plot developments just feel cartoons.

Its very bingeable and fun to read, but also instantly forgettable. ... Solid 6/10 for me.

Ps look up the artists name on nhentai

If you have been reading reviews, then you have no doubt read plenty of people complain about the ending. As someone that is very sensitive to a bad ending ruining an entire series, I must tell you it's truly not a bad ending, it's just not a super anime shounen ending of the main character saving the world through the power of friendship.

When I finished the manga, the ending stuck with me for days while I pondered through the deeper meanings of theanga as a whole and started contemplating the meanings of collectivist attitude, self- isolation from society, the way one may block off ... their heart from their fellow humans, and just how in the end of traumatic events, all you really have are the relationships you've built with others.

If you want a hand holding ending that will cleanly piece up all mysteries, then please read a manga that treats you like a young teenager. If you're ok with a more open, seinen ending that mirrors life and humanity, then I'm sure you will enjoy this wonderful and incredibly fun manga

If you want a solid 9/10 reading experience, you're best off quitting the story after the first arc, somewhere in the chapter 80s area. More fun moments, exciting kisses, heartfelt moments, and a genuine feel of mystery and conflict happen in these chapter than the remaining 180 chapters , which is truly a shame.

Any complaints I have are found really exclusively in these later chapters, and my complaints have really solely to do with the story. There's many good characters that make you care for their lives, the art is rather pretty and never a negative distraction like some manga can be, but neither ... of these things will save you from a thoroughly frustrating, repetitive, and often neutered story

Harem: honestly I don't know why it even has this tag. MC has eyes for only first girl despite kissing pretty much every character in the manga. This is the most monogamous "harem" I have ever read in my life; and normally that would be fine with me as I enjoy standard romance but...

Lack of romance/romance tease: if we are reading solely to enjoy the romance of MC with main girl , then that should pay off. Instead, after the first arc, we see less and less of her and due to plot reasons she even starts to keep her distance from him and act somewhat cold. When plot does allow her to come back to him and attempt romance, it feels very flat. They go to some bookstores, walk home together, but you often get little more than a smile from her and saying she's happy. Several moments in the story we see hints at the beginning of a more physical/sexual relationship, but each and every time it ends in a gag: such as a body switching joke by his male best friend or the MC cockblocking himself so hard when the girlfriend sleeps over at his house that all of his friends wind up feeling sorry for the girlfriend and ridiculing MC. I get that this is a shonen, but for God's sake I would have killed to see them sleep in the same bed together in eachothers arms

Overused plot devices, useless plotlines, and plotholes: I'd like to avoid getting into any real spoilers, but the memory wipe and everyone forgetting about MC (or another person) happens I believe 5 times, during which MC must painstakingly work to get everyone's memory's back over and over and over again and each time MC has to confess his love all over again. We're supposed to think it's cute and destiny for them to stay together but it honestly drags on and further emphasizes the fact that their relationship hardly makes any progress after the two become boyfriend girlfriend. In the very latter chapters, when they attempt to explain the witch powers and how they came to be, it honestly ruins the magic of things in a way and only opens up so many unnecessary questions. Meanwhile, time wasn't spent to explain to us properly how MC got his magic power and what it reflects upon him as to what it is he felt he was lacking in life (since it's said the witch powers are granted according to the wishes each user has)

If I had to sum everything up, I would say that everything after the first arc felt like an enormous romantic blue balling only to end in a ten year time skip where we are supposed to feel satisfied by the end results of off screen romance, marriage, and children.

(PS Noa best girl)
