The setting is just so ridiculous that I have a hard time buying into this show.
The one older brother being such a cardboard cutout villain is also annoying.
So far, I'd probably give it a C.

It's basically a family business, with a huge burden from the past since it can be hard for later generations to always measure up, yet they are still pushed by the family to accept significant roles in leadership. Not to mention the later generations might generally have it harder due to harsher competition and such, which wasn't present when the company was founded. I reckon Yuuji is a rather classic case of a man who had no choice but to become a great executive due to this birth, even though he had little talent for it, possibly not interest either. It's all the worse because Nagisa was there and had talent wise everything Yuuji lacked. Yuuji was forced to rely on Nagisa's skills day in and day out, which only made him feel that much a lesser man. It's a highly realistic situation, which turns someone into a villain. The few times we did see him actually do something, like dealing with the politicians, revealed how low calibre he was on his own.
