Mayoi Neko Overrun!

For Takumi's overly generic character design, he is a very unique and likable main male character in a harem show. In addition to the things already mentioned, I like how he told the story of his past. While it was a very emo story, he didn't make it sound emo, or try to make himself out to be a victim. He didn't sound all shounen hero either. He just sounded... pragmatic, even if the ideas he talked about are idealistic. I liked that.

I still dislike Fumino, especially with that textbook naked scene followed by physical violence. Can't there be a tsundere that doesn't resort to slapstick violence in these standard harem shows?

But he did mention in a short internal dialogue that he doesn't want to cause trouble for anyone after the incident at the orphanage where he ran away. It was his intention to make things easier on the Sister and on Fumino, but it had ultimately only made the problems greater. His current demeanor is a result of not wanting life to be more difficult for anyone because of his existence/presence again.

This show would have been better if Fumino didn't show that overly typical violence. While her character would still be quite unlikely, at least it would fit better together with Takumi by not physically attacking people (which in RL would eventually end up very badly, with the police involved or not). Like I said before, I don't actually mind Fumino's personality as long as it's balanced by Takumi who perfectly understands it, but they could have dropped the slapstick for sure because it affects Takumi as well.
