Perhaps this is one of the reasons people often move over to "seinen romance" after a few (dozen) shounen harem series. You get stronger (or at least more varied) male leads and often more complex female characters. In my opinion, Utsumi is weak, extremely weak male lead which usually does nothing but crying like little baby whenever gotten into dilemma. At first glance, it would make him look sympathetic, but if it was getting repeated endlessly, readers gonna get sick with him and the forced drama that surrounding him.
