I can definitely recommend this to anyone who isn't turned off by the tags.There are a lot of characters. Including supporting cast something like 30 of them. All of them have good characterization, so you're bound to like one of them. Unfortunately, with so many characters not everyone can be a part of every story arc. Support characters are often reduced to token, tropey, joke appearances.I would've rated this 5/5, but it's somewhat limited by being more comedy than seinen. I think the story would have been a bit better had it focused a little more on the tragic nature of its heroines and narrowed down the inclusiveness of the harem. There's a number of places where there could have been a bit more setup, a few more parallels drawn, that would have made this a much better character study. The author does call themselves out on this though. So I wonder if this ever gets a LN adaptation if they might be a little more serious and keep the flirting to more of the side stories.Spoiler
Speaking of, the Raz date side story is a really great way to handle "supporting harem members". In that, it's left more of an ambiguous friendship than an actual relationship.
[collapse]SpoilerA reoccurring issue with the heroines is how quickly they "get over" their problems. Isis sort of gets this right, but it's dealt with too lightly. Kuro on the other hand basically goes from plotting to terrorize Kaito to being perfectly happy with things in a single chapter with no lasting drama. It's very anti-climactic.
