It was nice enough, but for a romance series, ther was not a lot of chemistry between the 2 leads.

It was a pretty good story but left parts unexplained never really explained completely the supernatural stuff like does the super human of everyone that is evil really come from devils who was the gramps of the mc , where is his dad and mom at least in other mangas they say they are in a business trip or dead but this time nothing, it doesnt explain in any way the whole omnyojutsu the mc never speaks with that old man about his power for no reason, well thats about the stuff i remenber of the top of my head and too the whole ending being open in the sense that the mc didnt purify completely ranna and the girl that was released in jail it seems the author wants to have a window for a continuation just in case and with the anime coming out, you never know.

What ever it is for a harem battle shonen story like this surviving till the end in this day and age without being axe is a great achievement. For me I just really love the art and how nice the mc progression is, a nice and fun story but yeah the 2 leads really should have had more romance time.

After finishing the anime I was excited to see Rokudou's growth and was pleasantly surprised, but unfortunately I think that last arc really did it in for the longevity of the series. Way too much time was spent on Chiyo, like 60 fucking chapters for a character who didn't exist prior to the arc, and and unfortunately almost none of the interesting mysterious shit introduced during the run of the series really panned out.
We didn't get to see really any of who Ranna's real parents were or what her deal was, or what the deal with Rokudou's grandpa was and the origin of the magic or like any real character development from the rest of the cast outside of their introductory arcs which seemed insane considering this series is actually pretty long so I'm rather disappointed for that.
I was seriously expecting this to go the route of like some insane battle shounen pathing considering the volume of fights already and the mysterious backgrounds of Ranna and Rokudou's family but I'm rather saddened to not see anything there but it was fun atleast and I was happy to atleast see Rokudou grew up through the series and Ranna finally coming around.

Yeah, this was a pretty enjoyable manga with fun characters but that last arc was awful after awhile. It's a shame that the story ended with a simmer, I think the final arc should have been more about Ranna and the MC power but I guess this is fine.

This was pretty awful. Rana was probably one of the worst heroines I've ever seen. No personality other than "gross looking psychopath".
He should've ended up with the cross dressing girl. She was actually amazing and deserved it a lot more.
This was truly a terrible ending. What a waste of time...

Dunno why but I keep remembering an ending where Rokudou passes on the hex to a new student to start his own harem like Peace☆ Hame!
Bruh I had to get used to the art when I first read this.

finally got around to reading this after sometime. Manga was pretty fire ngl
Like the other commenters have said — this story left a lot unexplained. In favor of a quite long and unnecessary last arc. Though, I do think Rokudou and Ranna had a lot of sweet moments together, throughout the series. The two had both rocky and lovey-dovey times, which I think is all that's needed for a good romantic resolution to a story like this one. Overall, slightly weak towards the end, but still a good finish.
Still, lots of loose ends left unresolved:
1. Rokudou's parents being the most absent parents in the world. It's not like our boy's an orphan. He mentions that he can get money from them to go on the hot springs trip. But we never see even their faces once. Let alone know their names. Let alone hear them speak even one sentence to Rokudou. I want to just headcanon that Rokudou's an orphan, but the story does mention his parents existing — so, sucks. But, these kinds of absent parents are still a very common cliche even in anime and manga today. They've been a thing in anime since God knows when.
2. I guess the whole supernatural element of the story? For one — why was Ranna born with so much malice? Is she a demon reincarnated? Or is she just fucking evil, for no reason? Then there's Rokudou's magic. Honestly, the supernatural stuff being left unexplained isn't that big of a deal to me, though. Sometimes, not everything needs to be explained. I don't think super intense worldbuilding or lore drops are necessary for an ultimately lighthearted coming-of-age type of story that this manga is.
I like that Ranna's violent nature wasn't completely erased. People don't change that easily. I like her character arc just the way it is. If, before, she was 100% malice — then now she's more or less 50/50 after meeting Rokudou. More importantly, she can control her violence now. Notice how she doesn't directly strike the bad girls running after Rokudou here. Instead, she just blocks the path, haha.
The three things I liked the most about this manga are:
1. Rokudou's growth as a protagonist. Definitely not your reader-insert bland harem protagonist. Dude is super manly, has some real balls.
2. The supporting cast's constant presence throughout the story, and how they feel so real. Colonel and Kachou are the types of "fellow loser friends" that get forgotten by the story once the MC changes and finds new friends in most anime — but these two stay relevant the entire way through. And they're not dislikable, either. The same can go for the other characters. Iinuma is a bully-turned-buddy archetype done extremely well, one of my favorite characters in the story. The other villains that come back as friends later on are likable too.
3. The subversion of Rokudou's harem. They're only his harem girls by a technicality. Eventually, each of the heroines grow out of their crush fro him as they become better people — and find other guys more suited for them.
Minami and Nagori, Osanada and Kurokata (say what you want about this one, but Osanada's never cried in front of Rokudou after she stopped liking him — whereas she cried like a baby to Kurokata in the last arc), Ling Lan and Tateshima (sharing a cigarette), and obviously Azami and Aoi. Oh, Yashiya and Yagen, too.
The girls aren't treated like inanimate prizes for Rokudou to show off his status as a super ladies' man. Raino gets a clear answer without being led on as well. I think Chiyo's more focused on her relationship with her mom than boys after she "grows out of the crush".
All's well that ends well, overall. Rokudou got the girl of his dreams, without exploiting his magic. This ending does feel very open on purpose, like there might be a sequel. Who knows.
