Yet, for all of what the rom-com genre has to offer, there have been more bad nuts also appearing (Masamune-kun no Revenge, KanoKari) to fuel the fire for distastes.
Hataraku Maou-sama!, OreGairu, SaeKano, Date A Live, NiseKoi) making the scene yearly with no signs of the genre slowing down and becoming one of the most popular genres for just about any AniManga fan. School Rumble, Ouran High School Host Club, Lovely★Complex to name a few) to modern-day juggernauts (e.g. Rom-coms have been dozens aplenty since the AniManga industry's early days, with most of the memorable classics (e.g. Someone, please steer this back onto a road of at least passable writing quality, please? Well, to be fair, I wouldn’t really care either way anyway… I’d compare this show to a lost, misguided child. This show was a mess, and it’s probably not going to end anytime soon, at least in the manga. What were we trying to do here? Figure out why Nagi and Erika were separated at birth? Just have a slice of life harem? This show is so lost, and the directions they took in the second cour really lost me as well, as any sign of writing quality went completely awol. The themes were rather muddled, honestly. I admit, there was a bit of cheap enjoyment to be had, and there were a couple very solid episodes, but most of it was a snoozefest. Guess she made this whole show a bit more trashy. Why is she even in this harem? There was no need honestly, and she didn’t even have much of a role to play. Sometimes she’s extremely kind, but sometimes she can come across as a bit overbearing and overly annoying as a character. Then there’s Hiro, who was probably my favourite character, since it seemed like she might have a little bit of a good backstory, but her character writing was rather inconsistent.
She’s pretty inoffensive for the most part to watch, but her feelings for Umino were rather muddled.

First, there’s Erika, an “Instagram Influencer”, who lived in a rich household, and once she moved out to live with Nagi, she didn’t know how to do many things, and found a lot of mundane activities very new. I’ve already mentioned my disdain for Umino, so let’s talk about the girls in the story. I will say I enjoyed both OPs and both EDs, they’re honestly one of the highlights of this entire show. It’s colourful, quite a good job honestly. Sure, there were some well done moments, but for the most part, it just wasn’t very well written or entertaining. The pacing is honestly slower than I imagined, especially in the second cour, where there were cliffhangers galore. What angers me is why the girls try to play wingwoman for another girl when they clearly like Nagi in the first place? Guess romance is weird like that. So, we can as usual, assume that every girl likes Nagi, even his little sister, and that’s to be expected. Perhaps it’s just easier to turn your brain off and just appreciate the harem anime as it is, but it’s quite an infuriating show to watch. I’m not even going to question the whole swapped at birth thing, it’s animanga, and animanga does these stupid things, and we know this. My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20 Just like the anime, you’ll also probably find that this review you’re reading will also drop in quality as it goes along, who knows? I felt like the author of the manga just gave up on keeping the source material at least at a decent quality, because the anime just stopped trying to be good as it went along. He’s literally Kazuya, but gets good grades in school. I am convinced however, that Umino Nagi is one of the worst harem protagonists that I have seen. Studious male harem protagonists have been somewhat of a repeating character archetype, like Futaro Uesugi from The Quintessential Quintuplets, or Nariyuki Yuiga, from We Never Learn. Sigh… Alright, where do we even begin with this one? First of all, if you actually finished all 24 episodes of this dumpster fire, like I did, I applaud your dedication, but sometimes I really do question the decisions I make, such as continuing to watch this week after week.
