My god, was this a disappointment. The concept is highly appealing, don't get me wrong. A world with a 1:5 male:female ratio would make for a very interesting and very different dating climate, and one of the rare strong points of this manga is the effort it puts into exploring this. Women view men very differently when they're in short supply, and the nuance that the manga gives to that topic is one of its very scarce strong suits. Unfortunately, just about every other component of this manga is trash. Let's start with the design of the main character, by far my biggest complaint with this mangaand a huge contributing factor for why it got a 2/10 and not a 4/10. He's perhaps the most banal, generic, frustratingly dense protagonist I've ever seen. He just goes about his day being unfalteringly nice to absolutely everyone, never ever develops feelings for or makes any moves on the many girls constantly fawning over him, and absolutely refuses to interpret anything these girls say or do as romantic interest. He has no personality, and no thoughts or opinions of his own beyond "It's good to be nice to people. Make sure to try your best at everything!" This rotten archetype is appallingly common in Japanese manga, but this is easily the worst instance of it I've ever seen. This main character will see to it that the only "romance" that ever develops in this manga will be one-sided and completely unfulfilled. I sure do love seeing some genuinely great female characters continuously make advances on a main character who all but ignores anything that points to these girls being interested in him. After all, it wouldn't do for him to choose a girl; that wouldn't be in the spirit of an F-tier harem manga!

And yes, this is a harem manga. Of course it's a harem manga. And it falls into the exact same pitfalls that every lazily written harem manga falls into (plus a few extra ones as a result of this especially insufferable main character). They introduce a girl. She's cute. She falls for the protagonist. So far so good! She tries to get closer to him, he picks up on precisely zero signs, and they don't really get closer. Now it's time to introduce girl #2. She's also cute. Will something actually happen between the main character and a girl he meets in this romance manga? No. Introduce girl #3. Then girl #4. Sooner or later they drop the ball on the design of the female characters, which is annoying but it really doesn't matter. It's not like anything was going to happen between them and the main character anyway. What is annoying is that a lot of the really great girls they introduced early on are basically forgotten about by chapter 12. They were the only other thing this manga had going for it, and now it doesn't even have that.

It's a shame that this is so bad, because the concept really is quite amazing. I would love to see an actually competent writer take a shot at something like this. Someone who won't write it as some trashy harem manga, and has the baseline level of creativity required to create a protagonist who doesn't make me actively hate single every panel that features dialogue not spoken by a female character. Please, for the love of god, don't waste your time.
