7.3/10
This manga had some potential with its premise, but that's all it is. Potential. To be blunt, the story isn't bad, but it isn't great. The biggest reason for this is the pacing. The pacing is incredibly fast, so that a lot of the developments feel half-hearted.
This, of course, includes the MC's development, the introduction and development between the villainess, and any antagonists. For example, solely in one chapter, the story was introduced, the main character was a fat lard, and then the author spammed some time skips to make him immediately lose weight and overpowered. Oh, and all of this happened within 3 months...
...
yeah.
With that being said, though, the main character isn't horrible. He's just a man who wants a loving wife, which is respectable, and he's also a bit of an aura farmer. Yes, this does mean that some of his actions are a bit edgy and cringy, but it isn't too bad.
As for the heroine, she isn't horrible, but she isn't great. Her character felt like a huge plot hole, but in the later chapters her personality is explained a bit more. It wasn't an amazing explanation of how she did an immediate 180 personality-wise and fell in love with the MC because of one action, but it was sufficient.
What felt amiss in the story is the plot development. The revenge or satisfying moment against the person who wronged the heroine felt completely rushed and glossed over. I get it, the story needs to quickly establish its premise and move on to the "academy arc," where most of the story presumably happens, but it wouldn't have hurt to take its time.
It's a decent manga where you turn off your brain and read about an overpowered protagonist and his wife, but that's all it is. The story was rushed a bit too much to make something meaningful, but it still isn't horrible. I bashed it a lot, but it's still entertaining.

Oh God... my eyes...
What happens when you combine a lot of "Toradora!" and "Oresuki," but without the likable MCs and funny developments? Well, you get whatever mess and cringe-fest of a story this is.
I'll start with probably the worst thing about this manga: The main character. He's one of those dense, low-self-esteem main characters who envy the "popular guy" in school. But there's only one problem... He is popular. Popular to a point where you can't help but cringe every time he goes off on one of those long monologues about how pitiful he is.
To make matters worse, he isn't even a likable
...
person. For example, when he thinks the popular girl (his crush? Idk, he admires her) is asking for love advice for his best friend, he... runs away. Seriously? What a horrible friend and person, in general. He's slightly self-aware of how selfish he is, but that doesn't make it much better.
As for the side characters/heroines... they're all incredibly one-dimensional, and you can practically predict how the plot is going to go with how poorly written they are. A lot of their personalities and attraction to the MC are forced, and it makes me squirm. thinking about how cringy it is.
I have no idea how this manga is rated so highly, since from my perspective, I read another trashy harem-esque romance manga with a dense and unlikable protagonist. The plot also heavily relies on the heroines never acting out their feelings and 100 misunderstandings that get rinsed and repeated until the author finally decides to man up and create some development. Sorry, but this is not for me.

Who needs an introduction to a premise or manga? Honestly. Introductions are so overrated. Let's just insert the MC into the story with an already established heroine and cut every step or development possible, so it's just the cute teasing moments. This will make for a perfectly good and sound story! ... I hate you, author.
Let me preface this: this manga has the potential to be something good, but the author messed up, and he messed up big time. If you couldn't tell by now, the author doesn't even bother developing the FMC at all, so we don't really know what or why the FMC
...
acts this way. All he explains is that she's stressed, and she relieves herself with the MC.
How did their relationship start? Who knows.
Why does the FMC have so much stress? Beats me.
Does the FMC even like the MC? Good question.
The FMC's personality is very cookie-cutter, and she doesn't have any backstory to help establish her out-of-the-ordinary personality. Because of this, her personality becomes incredibly forced, so all the cute teasing moments just come off cringy or awkward.
As for the MC, he's your every other embarrassing mess of an MC, where he does whatever the FMC does. His personality is in 1000 other romance mangas, so there's nothing important to note there.
This story could have been great, but it isn't refined at all. It's as if a web novel was adapted, and it didn't get reviewed or fixed to fill in the missing gaps or the anticlimactic moments of a good story.

Fluff... So much fluff...
This manga is the type of story where you're unconsciously smiling the entire time due to the lack of drama and the abundance of wholesome and cute moments between the main characters. And hey, I'm all for it because this is a childhood friend story that I can get behind -- A childhood friend story where the childhood friend is finally not doomed to lose.
This manga is very simple in design, where the author inserts some flashback memory moments and contrasts them with the present scenes. So far, almost every interaction between the main characters gets tied in with how they
...
reacted or remembered a certain past scene, and it makes for some incredible fluff.
As for the characters, they're not anything special, but they're still charming -- the MC reminds me of a teasing MC story, and the FMC is similar to every other kuudere heroine. However, they have been written into the story nicely, but I do still wish there was more FMC development to see why she changed so much. That alone could add a substantial amount of interest to the story, magnifying every interaction with the MC. Though I shouldn't be complaining too much, as this is a slow-burn, and it's only been two chapters.
Anyways, yeah, that's it. Cute, fluffy childhood friend story where the flashback moments are really sweet and wholesome. Uh, have I mentioned that this story is really fluffy yet? Oh, I have? Sorry, it's incredibly fluffy.

I wasn't engaged in this manga at all. It's due to numerous reasons: Generic trope/premise, cliches, fast developments, and lots of cringeworthy moments.
To start, the plot is not special at all -- there have been so many "ice princess" romcoms that it's incredibly hard for authors to differentiate themselves. As for this story, it's mediocre at best. I believe that if a mangaka is using an overdone concept, then the storyline itself or the writing has to be incredible to make something worthwhile. This? Unfortunately, it's full of wish-fulfillment cliches, and the pacing is a wreck.
Speaking about the pacing, it's going to be a
...
long, drawn-out story even though the characters already have feelings for each other. And the worst part about that is that it is not set in the premise at first. Numerous stories establish the "we both like each other" concept at the beginning, but they only work because it has been established in the beginning, so the teasing or whatever trope the authors use works. However, in this story, the MC saves her once, talks to her a few times, and then she's already in love with him... Yup, no slow developments or heart-warming moments to slowly thaw the ice princess, it's just straight into it. This, of course, makes for a rather anticlimactic storyline.
Also, a large gripe I have with this story is that the characters seem robotic. None of their developments feels natural and seems incredibly forced for the sake of having a "wholesome" moment or two. Some of the moments do make me smile, but most of them are awkward.
Countless ice princess stories are well-written despite their overdone premise; however, this is not one of those stories.

Welcome back to another episode of "Am I going to jail or not?" In other words, is this age-gap romcom manga good? Unfortunately, it is. And with that, there are three age-gap heroines... Sigh. Why must the majority of age-gap mangas be good...
Besides the three high schoolers, what separates this manga from the rest is the down-to-earth characters. The first heroine introduced is more typical of an "extreme" romcom story, while the second heroine adds lots of self-awareness to the storyline. This dynamic works well since the second heroine reacts like "why are you shooting yourself in the foot..." in every development with the first
...
heroine.
As for the MC, he's not a complete red flag (thank god), but he occasionally calls them pretty. Other than that, he's more made to be comedic than anything, so he has a pretty fun personality.
So, uh, yeah. That's it for this review. Please don't lock me up.

Another day, another erotica with a dumb premise. I don't know what to comment on, since this manga gives off gag vibes, but it's just a bad story.
The author attempted to add some worldbuilding and a backstory for the main character, but all of it was incredibly lackluster. Besides the "comedy" in the setting, it's incredibly forced, and the developments to get the MC to where he is just sucks.
The MC instantly becomes overpowered, and the seggs that would make him overpowered are just glossed over -- no, I don't want to read full-on fanservice, but if the author set up a scene, at least
...
do the aftermath or something (end of chapter 1). All of the developments are just skipped, then wham, the MC is now OP. As for the girl who made him OP? Who even knows where the author put her. She wasn't talked about at all.
This is a classic poor attempt at erotica that fails to create a funny gag story, and it also fails to create a serious, slow-paced story. I'll give some points for the author at least trying, but there are too many plot holes for this story to be entertaining.

This is a hidden gem for revenge mangas. Most revenge stories fail to create a compelling story, and instead, they're cluttered with lots of torture, gore, and rape. All of that screams edginess, and it's like the author didn't even try with any plot developments.
As for this manga? It spends its time setting up the MC, his revenge, and the important side characters that help him on the way. Some people may find this tacky or cheesy, but the manga isn't cluttered with those overpowered moments where the MC just brutally murders everyone. Instead, there's a storyline, and the side characters act as a voice
...
of reasoning for the MC.
However, that is not to say that the antagonists aren't set up well either. From what has been exposed so far, all of them are irredeemable trash, and the author continues to slowly add more disgusting things to their character, making the revenge 10x more fulfilling once it happens.
It's a revenge manga that takes its time with developments and setting up the premise. This may not be for casual enjoyers, as it can be annoying, and it's almost like the revenge is a subplot, but it's still quite entertaining. On a side note, the art is beautiful.

Truly a diabetic manga… this is just too sweet, and wholesome, and cute, and all of the above that I need more of these types of mangas in my life, not the love triangles full of drama.
I didn’t know if I would like this manga at first, since, yes, the MC is wimpy, and he gets embarrassed by the slightest look from a female. We all know and hate those characters, but this MC is DIFFERENT. He still does dumb things, but it doesn’t become annoying, but rather real due to his feelings.
Also, he isn’t completely passive either — chapter 9 really showed his
...
development, and his desire for the FMC, which was a huge change of pace for once. I thought this manga would’ve dragged on with the “She totally hates me” punchline, which would’ve gotten stale real quick. However, the author incorporates genuine development within the story.
As for the FMC… oh my god, she’s a bundle of cuteness. Her actions make sense, and it’s not forced to come across as hatred. Also, she’s just too darn cute. This art style is simply beautiful, and it does her every favor in the world.
Another great thing this manga did was introduce a likable side character in the MC’s best friend. He adds nice comedic relief, while being like the readers who ship the main characters together. Also, he isn’t bland either, and he has a personality outside of that.
…and it’s about time we talk about the second girl. No, she is not a love interest, and this manga is not a love triangle (thank God), but she is certainly annoying. She comes off as a really apathetic character who does more harm than good. For example, she traumatizes the MC, and she never apologizes for it, while acting like everything is okay between them. She also semi-ntrs the FMC since she never explicitly tells the FMC that she has no interest in the MC despite supporting them in the back.
Her character is honestly really annoying, and even if she is not a love interest, she still has no reason to be in this manga. I understand that it adds some jealousy plot points, and she’s there to be with the best friend eventually, but her character is incredibly flawed and forced into the story.
The last great thing this manga does is character perspective switches to reveal what the characters are thinking at a certain moment. It adds a lot of humor while maintaining that wholesome feel.
I honestly couldn’t stop smiling at this manga (well, except for chapter 4 or whenever the hell the childhood friend showed up), and it’s incredibly cute. It also isn’t one-dimensional, and there’s genuine progression. It may be cringy to some, but to me, it's wholesome while also being breathtakingly beautiful due to the art style. Some of those drawings of the FMC… just, wow.

It's alright... I honestly had my hopes up past the fifth chapter since the manga didn't shove forced sex scenes down the readers' throats, but this manga failed to create anything interesting.
Don't get me wrong, this manga tries to have a serious take on a storyline, but it utterly fails for some apparent and not-so-apparent reasons. First off, this manga never "clicked" due to how it failed to set up its characters.
No, I'm not talking about their personalities -- a lot of the personalities, especially the ghosts, are unique and are pretty funny. However, they are just that -- surface level. The manga fails to
...
create anything interesting about the MC himself, and if you replaced him with your every other awkward protagonist, the story would be no different. With that, the antagonists are incredibly annoyingly bad. I mean, it gets to a certain point where sheer discrimination doesn't justify the hate crimes the MC experiences. The author never delves deeper into the reason, except for a shallow flashback that raises more questions than it answers.
This issue is largely apparent with the sister, as I expected by at least chapter 24, we would get more screen time or more details about her, but none of her personality makes sense. And this isn't even setting up the "oh, she's so mysterious" storyline, since the author doesn't even bother tying her into the story beyond her having broken abilities that the MC can only overcome eventually with plot armor.
This also goes hand-in-hand with my largest gripe with this manga -- it moves incredibly slowly. If I didn't have 24 chapters to binge, then I would have either forgotten entirely about the story or lost interest since nothing interesting happens for the most part. There are tons of explanations, and some fight/sex scenes, but all the developments are drawn out.
I wanted to like this manga (you can tell with me reading 24 chapters) since it seemed different from every other forced fan service erotica with an overpowered protagonist, but I was never interested in the story itself. There were some funny moments with the ghosts, but the story and writing utterly failed this manga.
