I agree with the review below me, however I'm still going to recommned No Bra, not because it is hilariously bad, or because it's actually better than it sounds, but because it gives a good frame of reference to how bad the indecisive, spineless and completely bland male lead in Harem stories could be. I didn't initially like Tsukune in Rosario+Vampire because he had next to no personality, no interests and was there solely for the reader to self-insert, but at the very least I could say that he never had malicious intentions whenever he hurt others and was honestly trying to do the right thing.
Masoto, however, is a unexcused dickbag, he is selfish, oversexed, lying, unfaithful and a Karma Houdini. This would at least be a good series if the author intended masoto to be a jackass who ends up living an empty life because all his relationships are based off of lies. But this isn't the case; Masoto only tells everyone the truth he should have told them right away, only after he's spent his good time using the lies to get him 2 women (well sorta) romantically involved with him. Then he ends up looking like the good guy because Yuki and Oozora don't know that he has kept the truth hidden long enough to manipulate and exploit their misplaced feelings for him. Only the reader knows that this guy is a completely selfish asshole without an altruistic bone in his body. Yet the women see him as an honest, caring and nice gentleman because their perception of reality is shrouded in lies. So Masoto ends up with the girl of his dreams and is vindicated by history despite being transphobic, cheating, attempting to have sex with someone who was drunk and lies of omission to Yuki and Oozora that cause them to fall for him. The worst part of this is that in the end, he was still bland as Tsukune was in the earlier volumes of Rosario+Vampire.
And while the lesson Yuki learned at the end was a good message. The all that is overrided by the fact that the Characters all have flaws that are never actually addressed as flaws and no one gets anything close to what they deserve, the nice people are manipulated and the jackass gets the girl.
I still recommend it because it made me realize that the bottom of the barrel, could me be so much worse.
It sucks, but I'm going to recommend it anyway
