Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister may seem like a generic harem at the start. And it is like that for a while. It took its time but as it is now I can confidently say that this is one of the best harem manga I have read. Let me tell you why. Right before our sponsor no one since this is not a video. Someone please pay me to write these shitty reviews.
Story and characters:
Now in most harem manga the first thing you would notice is that the story.. kinda sucks. It either features mr. perfect I cant do any wrong as a protagonist or it features kazuya. Featuring girls such as ms. childhood friend who is either perfect or a tsundere a tsundere who hits the protagonist for no reason whatsoever Is this comedy? a flat chested girl so we can have such funny moments as Oh my god main character you touched my boobs which are flat I am going to punch you now and how can we forget ms. fanservice who is only there for fanservice. Isnt this cool? Arent these girls so lovable and adorable? Arent they funny? No. No they arent. And for some reason these girls with such different personalities except for the fact that they all punch the mc at some point. Seriously what is what will harems and punching just make a fighting anime at that point that would be way better are just throwing themselves at this blank self insert of an main character. Wheres the good story and characters at. I will tell you where they are they are at this manga. Here every character is fleshed out with their own goals and motivation. We understand them what they want and who they are. The girls arent just there to be cute and in love with the mc and the mc isnt just there to be a self insert for the reader. Every character feels natural. The story feels well paced. Speaking of pacing. Many harems try to have a story but it is interrupted by the constant need of adding so much filler. Which brings us to...

Filler and Pacing:
Now while reading this review you might have thought why is this guy adding so much garbage in the middle of his sentences. Well imaginary person that I made up in my head thats me adding filler to stretch this review out since this website needs me to add bunch of words to be able to upload this review. So I keep adding random things at middle. Shmebulock. Now that works for a loser like me who is writing a review on a harem manga on an anime website but that doesnt work when you are trying to tell a competent well written story. And if you want to add filler learn to pace it well. 10 chapters of story and 50 chapters of filler isnt good pacing. Now I am not saying this manga pacing is perfect. It is quite rough at the start but it gets better the author learns as he keeps writing it. Every chapter moves the story forward in some kind of way and even when they dont. It focuses on showing us how these characters have developed. Speaking of development...

Character Development and Progression:
Even if your story is generic and has a bunch of filler. That still shouldnt make your manga complete garbage as long as your characters are good. Most people read harem for the characters. If you mess the characters the whole experience is ruined. And I am happy to say that the characters here are excellent. The main character feels actually like a person and not a blank slave. He has his own motivation he gets angry he gets sad he grows as person as the story progresses. He learns to appreciate living with the sisters. He learns to care for them. And the sisters are great characters as well. Which is amazing since it would be so easy to just make them as generic as possible. We have a tsundere big boobs onee san and the younger teasing sister. Just make the tsundere punch him give fanservice with the onee san and make flat jokes with the younger sister with her basically bullying him. Great characters guys we did it we wrote a harem. But no this absolute chad manga is above that. While they seem exactly like this at start. They slowly grow and learn to appreciate the main character as the story goes on. You as a reader understand why they love him. A problem with a lot of harem manga I have noticed is it goes from I hate you I will murder your entire family for my enjoyment to Omg you acted like a decent person I love you now and it just doesnt work. Its just too much. And fine you want to have progression with your character that doesnt feel natural at all? Fine. But they dont even commit to it since we gotta wait until the end for them to act decently to each other. We cant have the character grow that would require effort. So they are just stuck in a infinite cycle until the ending. But here we see how every arc effects the character and their relationship with each other. We can feel them acting differently after every arc but not too different that they feel like whole new character entirely. Every girl here is great and I love all of them equally.
