@IJustMadeThisToComment: Depends what you expect. Here's my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt:
This is a Slice of Life manga, so don't expect much in the way of story development (a lot of people tend to forget this or misunderstand what SoL manga are about). Slice of Life manga ALWAYS puts story in the backseat in favor of character interactions in certain scenarios. It doesn't always mean they will grow or develop, it's just scenes that show their bonds, whether they strengthen or weaken. Sometimes they develop, but typically it's when the story kicks back in. This is good in that you don't have to rush to catch up with the story unlike most manga.
The real complaint is in regards to the MC. The one major argument about the MC being Beta (which I believe is beyond stupid on a fundamental level. In my experience, when someone claims someone is Alpha or Beta, they got some personal love/sex life issues of their own, typically in relation to an over-inflated ego, and take it our on others or the manga. Otherwise, and I can't stress this enough:
a -->fictional<-- character's life wouldn't bother you so much.) is humorous at best. Unlike the typical weak-willed MC, he knows his shortcomings and berates himself for it. He's his own comic relief is the point; the lovable loser. Some people can tolerate it, others prefer a "capable" MC.
Up to you if you want to read it or not. Personally, I enjoy it (though I agree the MC's whining about his shortcomings gets old now and again), but everyone is different with different tastes.
@vmr1sunshine: No, no sex. It's just an ecchi manga about fake relationships. If you're looking to rub one out, enable/disable the hentai filter or look for the "smut" tag. Plenty of those around.

The character I really don't understand the most in this series is Mami. She didn't like him and so cheated on him and dumped him.....so why is she suddenly so interested in his life? Why is she trying to destroy his relationships? It doesn't make sense to me lol

It doesnt really say why she finished with him, maybe she found someone else and it didn't work out and preferred her previous bf. She wanted to get back with him but realised he's with (and more than one girl) someone else. So shes either jealous that he's moved on and she hasnt

I just started reading this. From what I've read I can assure you that Kazuya is the most stupid protagonist I've seen. I hope that changes as the story progresses, otherwise it would be a shame to have a good plot with a shitty protagonist.

This is fucking terrible. Somebody give this MC an award for most cringe inducing male award or something.

Hope this wraps up soon. It's been feeling drawn out for a while now. There's maybe four characters I'm interested in, and the rest might as well just be blank faces. I wish Authors were brave enough to write and end a story when they should, but I understand they have financial concerns and pressure from the publishers.
At first i thought of "ah,... This one is seems to normal and would like to make me boring in time"
But after reached middle of story it turn on somewhat interesting yet not really interesting,... Its just like it won't make me able to stop to read,...
