In short, it's a casual cute short show that I did enjoy, but it wasn't anything worth while. I wouldn't necessarily recommend, but I also wouldn't say to not watch it.

I watched because I liked Kita's actor in other shows (plus he's cute), and I had seen the other main three in other shows too. I like the idea of the show, and seeing just the description made me wonder if this was going to be a "lets all date together!" at the end show or a "lets all stay separate but appreciate each other!" show. Incase you're wondering, it's technically both.

Just a warning that theres a bit of vague spoilers moving forward:
It was cute and I don't regret watching it. I liked how each person had their main character moments, and at no point did I feel like we were just focusing on one of the four in the relationship. It's one of those shows where theres a main overall conflict till the end of the show that gets slightly mentioned each episode, while each episode has a different conflict that it focuses on and it usually get's solved before the next episode. Maybe because it was formatted that way, I feel like quite a few points in the story were left open or just not touched upon at all moving forward, but I was interested to know what they were gonna do moving forward.
A specific example I can think of off the top of my head would be Nishino side feelings for Minami. It was talked about for maybe two episodes, Nishino talked about it with Kita, but I feel like after Toko put that fourth rule, it was never touched upon again. I still have no idea whether they're considered still platonic or romantic now. Also, Kita's sibling incest plot, im so confused what happened there? Like that reveal was nothing like I expected, and it's such a random choice of who the main conflict was with. Did him and that girl just decide not to date? Or is he seeing her secretly? Did I miss like a whole episode of this show that the main overall conflict was just left open?
My last complaint would be that they didn't feel all that romantic. They had mentions of stuff they all did in the relationship like sharing nights with Kita, going on solo dates, etc. BUT we never saw them do anything. If you just took out the fact that the show specifies that they are dating, you could think it's just four roommates living together and three of them are really close/obsessed with Kita. There was most chemistry shown between Nishino and Minami in that one episode than the three of them and Kita combined in my opinion.

I say all this but I did enjoy watching it. I just really wish that they did and showed more.
