Easily one of the dumbest localized titles of all time. Not only does it pointlessly keep a Japanese word, it also sounds super Engrishy. A 100% literal TL would sound much better. I suppose the series itself isnt really deserving of high quality translation though. Its yet another entry in the comedies that arent that funny rankings. This one is a bit more story focused than the previous ones, and its also a little bit funnier overall, but the story and characters arent that great, so that aspect isnt much of a plus.

One of the more notable things about the series for anime is that the cast is pretty evenly balanced gender-wise. LN MCs are usually pretty lame, but Akihisa is actually pretty funny. The male cast is actually really good in general, with Kouta probably being the funniest character in the show. Hes constantly doing terrible things, but hes so over the top that you cant really hate him. The ladies, on the other hand, are not so great. Shoukos yandere tendencies are funny a couple times, but 90% of the time theyre just annoying. Minami is one of the worst examples of the tsundere how hits the main character all the time for no reason. Mizuki is...okay, but she isnt very funny. The female half of the cast killing the fun basically took a potentially great show and made it mediocre.
