This review was made after volume 12 reading the fan TL. There may be spoilers for major events but I do my best to avoid them. This show is a fairly generic harem romcom. It gets better over time at around volume 5 I started to realize I was actually enjoying it. The main character Keiki Kiryuu wants to find a normal not perverted girlfriend but all of the girls in the harem have some pervert element to them so he tries to depervert them until he realizes that the pervert qualities are an intrinsic part of a person and so he shouldnt. I really dont like the first arc mostly because the end result is so obvious and yet too much time is spent on it. The reveal it ends with also didnt have anywhere near enough foreshadowing I felt like it pulled on details that hadnt previously been mentioned anywhere. But it does establish the characters at least. After that point the story becomes actually pretty decent. The members of the harem all have some sort of perverted quality to make them unpure and so Keiki isnt interested. While this is the first time Ive seen anybody that has an NTR fetish it includes a lot of the standard stuff that comes from a having a masochist/sadist/fujoshi/exhibitionist/olfactophile character. I dont particularly care about the specifics of that that much though it makes for good fluff but I came for generic harem and so I care about the generic harem. Theres other characters too a lolicon and loli pair who act as the main support a yuri lover whos part of the harem a crossdresser etc. Keiki is a very normal harem protaganist in that there are a lot of events in which he does something significant for one of the characters and he is a wimp who gets tossed around by everyone he gets loaned to the student council at a point. A lot of the harem events happen during the story and theyre generally the most enjoyable parts. The characters are all unique and for some the extra element that their fetish adds is actually the fuel for the events. As stated above Keiki eventually changes. After he decides to actually go out with one of the characters he gets the same kind of feeling as the people reading the story: that without the fetish the character really isnt the same person. This is what I believe the central theme of the story is and it not focusing on this until very late in is probably why I find the story doesnt really get good until so late in. As of vol12 they actually had someone win which indicates that the story will end soon. I think that this winning is predictable and expected since theres a lot of signs of it this is much better than the reveal about the Cinderella panties at the beginning. I think its one of the clear pieces of evidence that shows that the writing improved at some point but I also know I always dislike the start of a story. The volumes are fairly short and chapter breaks halfway through a volume are often better stopping spots than the end of a volume is. It makes it feel slightly more episodic than it actually is. If you dont like harems dont read this. If you do... well maybe give it a shot but I wouldnt consider this good by any means.
