From the first few episodes, love❤️love? seems like an idealistic ecchi anime, where the MC somehow constructs a harem of girls where they all simultaneously have a crush on him for no apparent reason. Unlike most other generic fanservice full harem anime, love❤️ love? displays a darker realistic reason to why the girls constantly seduce and throw themselves at the MC. When Ooizumi discovers that Yagami and Katsuragi were using their feminine charm to seduce him in to promoting them in to a higher acting role, I was initially surprised as I wasn't expecting the anime to have this dramatic twist. After the feeling ofshock faded, I was impressed by the thinking of both Yagami and Katsuragi as they were fully taking advantage of male-female biological dynamics. In regards to how a man will instinctively be allured by beauty, where both Yagami and Katsuragi possess, they effectively utilised their beauty to seduce and provoke Ooizumi.

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by how Ooizumi retaliated to this discovery. Ooizumi decided to punish all the girls in the cos-prayers acting team, which is comprehensible as he feels deceived as the girls have been playing with his feelings. However, I felt sympathy for Katsuragi as she was on the cross getting whipped and stripped, physically receiving scars and socially losing her honour. Miku, who is only 11 and only really displayed her panties on a few occasions, was placed at a high height, due to her fear of heights.

Imamura really impressed me and attained my admiration.
First of all for her skill of being able to replicate others voices.
Secondly, she realised that Ooizumi wasn't paying much attention to her, where she thought it was because of her age or lack of breasts. Due to this, she utilised her skill to reveal why Yagami and Katsuragi have been seducing him. Coincidentally, Jougasaki was sexually provoking Ooizumi, where she revealed that the cos-prayers girls are aware that he is the writer of the show. Since Jougasaki revealed this vital detail, I thought Ooizumi may be merciful towards her but instead makes her swim in contaminated water.

I admire Imamura as she realised that her fellow co-workers were suffering due to her actions, where she was willing to fix the situation and face the consequence by consenting away her body. She realised that she had made a fatal mistake and didn't have much to offer, however knew that Ooizumi had sexual desires so thought that this should please him.

Both Yagami and Katsuragi do admit to seducing Ooizumi for a promotion, which I do respect them for. They also do confess their loving feelings for him, where it's ambiguous to whether they are being genuine. They are actors so it's gullible to believe anything they say.

I was in love with a woman that displayed the facade of compassion and kindness; she used her beauty and charm to deceive and manipulate me for an advancement in her career. I was also fooled like Ooizumi and thought she was genuine, however unfortunately didn't have the presence of an Imamura to reveal the deception.

Due to being in a similar position as Ooizumi, I don't commend him for enacting vengeance on the girls. Every successful person I know has done something immoral to get to their honourable position, so I don't blame her for using me. I fully comprehend that she wanted to get ahead in her career and one avenue to attain this was to exploit the psychological instincts of men. Me and Ooizumi were caught up in the psychological debacle, however unlike Ooizumi, I did not punish her as I felt empathetic for her, even though I was a victim. Also I was in love with her, so seeing her in pain due to my torture would not satisfy me. So it does make me think how he is able to punish Yagami if he truly loves her.

Some aspects of the anime I didn't like was how the incident where Yagami and Ooizumi were caught going to a love hotel became known to their higher ups. The retribution was supposed be that Ooizumi would be barred from the set and lose being able to write for the cos-prayers, however after writing another script, they decided to just let him back to his previous role.

Also his crush or love for Yagami is pretty superficial. I understand she's beautiful and he is young so develops a crush fast, however I am fond of anime where the male character falls for a female for at least one reason that is not appearance based.

Overall, I really did enjoy this show, due to the display of characters effectively manipulating male biological instincts to attain a progress in career. I may have a bias for this anime as I was in a similar position as Ooizumi, however not as intense as his where girls were stripping and taking him to love hotels to manipulate him.
