Did not make it far into Shinwa Ponchi. Being completely transparent, the plot is dumb and senseless, and there's not enough explicit material present for this series to be considered as erotica. The initial motivation behind the characters is kind of endearing, if anything. But within a couple chapters it becomes clear that the author is not particularly looking to build strong characters and any semblance of development gives ways to (sometimes cute!!) harem fan service moments. The characters designs are pretty good! The girls especially are very pretty. I enjoyed the main character's self-depreciation bit and thought it was fun, but wow, were thetwo main blonde girls annoying.
