cliche characters and juvenile humour
This book sat in my "to be read" pile for over a decade, because I read about 60 pages and decided it was too bad to be worth wasting time on; I only came back to it now as part of a forum challenge.
This is a shounen romantic comedy, and its main problem IMHO is that its characters are mostly a thin bundle of cliches (especially bad when the book is more about character interaction than plot): there's the no-distinguishing-characteristics male lead, the violent tsundere, the impossibly rich girl who looks like a loli, and so on. There's also a strong streak of juvenile male humour (protagonist catches a glimpse of somebody's panties / has his head squished into somebody's breasts / etc) which really isn’t my thing. But it did settle down a bit after a rocky start, and the ending was surprisingly heartwarming. (The LN series made it to twelve volumes, so it clearly has an audience who liked it. Maybe if you like harem-ish comedy you might like it?)
