watched it on a whim and was positively surprised. the character relationships are amazing and the harem aspect of the story doesn't stifle you with the relationship battles of usual harems since everyone just has this genuine appreciation and want for MC to be happy and vice versa. it's kind of like 100 girlfriends who really love you if the characters weren't in a polycule

*I am going off of the anime since I can't find any translations of the manga beyond the first chapter, so I may be wrong about some things for people who have access to the raws.

I really liked this plot- I am always a sucker for stories where the male harem members have to try to make the FL love them back, and usually the best way to prolong that is through making said FL oblivious. However, here, we have the FL deliberately refusing to buy into the romantic tropes she easily identifies, and the comedy comes instead from her antics in response to the tropes. Of course, the genuine love the harem members have/develop for the FL doesn't hurt, either! All in all, if you like "My Next Life as a Villainess" or "Maid-Sama," I think you'll like this. And if you, too, can't find the manga in English, try out the anime on Netflix!
