This manga is absolutely GOATed for the simple reason that the MC and the FMC establish an actual relationship relatively early on, and we get to see the relationship grow and mature over time
Too often does a series drag out the “possibility” of a relationship (looking at you, rent a girlfriend) that it gets stale. Or they lean too heavily into the harem tropes, which is also stale
The other female characters don’t take away from the plot, they have their own relationships and stories, and they don’t needlessly pine over the MC. Overall, I personally think this should be the new standard for how mangakas approach romance
