Kanojo, Okarishimasu (I'd like to borrow a girlfriend) is another entry in the sea of harem romcom manga that floods the market. I had initial interest in this manga because of its premise and I hadn't really seen or read anything that sounds remotely like it, so I'd thought I'd give it a try. To my dismay, I was once again tricked by cute anime girl visuals into experiencing another harem romcom. That's not to say its all bad, and contrary to the opinion of most I would say its a serviceable and enjoyable read for the most part.

A lot of the problems that stem from this manga comes from our main character. He's what you would typically expect from from a harem romcom, and its as bad, if not worse than Raku was from the manga Nisekoi. His indecisiveness coupled with his bone-headed decision making really sours the entire reading experience and can make some of the chapters unpleasant to read. Where the manga shines though is with the female characters. Its usually the case with manga like these, but I can't express how much the female characters really carry the whole thing. They all have distinct personalities and while some of them don't particularly have a lot of depth, they are all fun to see and really liven up the manga.

So what do we have here? We have a great cast of female characters who are unique in their own rights, but we have a less than enjoyable main character that will make you want to tear your hair out at times. Is this worth your time? It's hard to say, but if you generally like harem romcom manga you would heavily enjoy this one. If you're more a fan of shonen, this would make you hate the harem romcom genre even more. I can't fully say that I hate it as I really did enjoy some parts of the manga, but I can't fully recommend it either. It's frustrating with manga like this because there is a lot of potential of it being great, but it hurts to see its potential squandered by the main character.

So in conclusion, if you're looking for something revolutionary, this isn't the right place to be. But if you're looking for a good way to pass the time, Kanojo, Okarishimasu is right up your alley.
