Once you read this, all other titles bearing the category of "harem" should pale in comparison.
To-Love-Ru used to be #1 on the list due to it having a main character with absolutely no flaws of his own other than being a nice guy which in turn garners him every girls' attention.

In this manga it's even worse, I'd say the guy is as much as a blank slate as Bella from Twilight. No punches are pulled in terms of harem cliches, guy gets abused for everything he does, the girls are all attached to him despite having no reason to (other than the established plot device), all the problems that comes with having multiple girls living under the same roof and goes to the same school as the guy are all glossed over by the walking Deus Ex Machina sister of the MC who can increase their house size at will, and instantly institute new students to a school...etc.

Every chapter involves the girls fighting over the MC and him doing nothing in the midst of all the artificial conflict.

At its current pace, this story can go on forever without any single plot progression. Or it can end the next chapter and nothing would be missed. That's the beauty of it I suppose.

A romantic comedy based on misunderstandings. For the most part it's like all the others, except it has one thing going for it:

+7 because I like this genre and +1 for the twist

This is a surprising hidden gem of a rom com manga. It's just choked with so many laugh out loud moments. The writing on these scenarios is simply genius. If you are a fan of absurdist humour then this is for you.

The characters are fun, sweet and have lovable distinct personalities. I also like how females in the story aren't serial domestic violence offenders as is typical in the genre. I mean if you love a person how could you send them to the hospital for every little silly gaf? That never made sense to me.

Anyway this manga is top notch, and imo much better than more mainstream titles like To Love-Ru. I would rate this alongside some of my favs in the genre like Oretama and Prison School.

If you're looking for a good comedy manga then definitely check this out.

Ignore the description because exposition is done quite well in the story and read it if you're a fan of shounen comedies/romance, it stands heads and shoulders above the others in the same genre. The art is fantastic, the characters are likable and its easy to sympathize with the characters. The protagonist isn't terribly idealistic and idiotic, nor is he the "should I confess to her? I don't know, lets drag this out for 3 volumes"-type, at least not terribly so.

Looks like this could be rather interesting so long as they focus more on the relationships and develop them rather then chapter, after chapter, of filler that plays off the setup.

Rating: 4/5 (after 7 chapters)
Interesting setup and it looks good so far, but another 10ch will tell if it will be something great or not.

I was getting skeptic and expected it'd be another love misunderstanding comedy manga all over again (with slow pace) but as of chapter 5 thing get a little bit more interesting.

Keep the pace up (as long as the author doesn't run out of idea) and it'll be a good alternative to this genre, I'm keeping my finger crossed.

This is a harem manga. Nothing more. Nothing less. The main guy is the mildly perverted type, slightly clumsy and not too bright. Expect a lot of fan service and frustrated people.

The "don't-let-me-go-or-else-you-die" thing reminds me of Double Arts, Nisekoi's author's previous work which I really like, yet unfortunately got axed. Not that it's a bad thing, though. Coincidence happened everywhere, and they're of different genres after all. And the whole rest are different.

About this manga itself, I really like it so far (currently ch 31). I like how the main character stays true to his love despite how many girls in his harem, unlike most other harem genre. The girls are aware of each other's feelings thanks to the moving soul. They're competing, yet they're still like a family. They got somewhat balance between fanservice and romance, and friendship.

But, just like Lightbrand's review, this manga simplify conflict's solution too much, thanks to the MC's sister. I believe it won't drag aimlessly too long since MC tries his hard to solve matters as soon as possible, and doesn't follow To-Love-Ru's step, which went forever and became purely fanservice+comedy without any feel of romance.

Yeah, this is harem in the most convenient and chepaest way. It's always so the male lead get's his share of skinship with the girls. Even so, i like it
So is that kind of manga, if you don't like shameless harem male oriented just don't waste your time.

It's well-drawn and for an ecchi harem love comedy manga, it does exactly what you'd expect. It manages to stay, if not fresh, at least not overly repetitive in its fanservice and innuendo considering the limitations of shounen manga.

That being said, the MC is hard to really like. There are some harem stories where you actually appreciate that the guy is a decent person who's helpful, empathetic, and considerate - the kind of "boyfriend goal" guy about whom you could say 'yeah, this guy actually justifies all the attention women give him'. In some ways Yasuke is a deviation from that overworked 'nice guy' shounen MC trope, but I think it's the wrong kind of deviation.

Yasuke doesn't really have any redeeming qualities. He has no skills and hes's not particularly thoughtful. He's constantly misunderstanding women's feelings, hurting them with his actions, and really all he does proactively is seek out ways to peek on them.

Yet they always forgive him, he never really learns anything, and his complete incompetence somehow remains endearing as he's constantly doted on.

So it gets an 8 because it's not too bad, it's not rushed, and it's well-drawn and executed and, besides the shallowness of the characters, the writing is okay.
