I think Junichi's personality makes for one of the better protagonists in this genre. His blunt nature and random antics provide many awkward "omg" moments, yet he shows his maturity and charm when it counts in short 4-episode arcs to help deepen the relationships. Considering the short amount of time he has, I feel the actions he takes to accomplish that are quite admirable and redeeming to his character. For instance, what he's done for Ai thus far - tutoring and giving advice regarding her brother - is a pretty clear demonstration of that. Considering most other male leads run away when given the chance to get closer to the girl they like, I certainly will take Junichi's brazen archetype over the norm any day.

Its annoying whenever a male character ruins a romantic situation for petty reasons which IMO is only made to prolong the story.

I'm not sure if that is a serious inquiry but Junichi is leagues ahead of the average male protagonist in comedic romances. But Kio from Asobi ni Iku Yo! takes the cake as being the most utterly useless and pathetic male lead in a comedic romance. The guy was completely devoid of a personality, displayed absolutely zero interest in girls, was completely clueless to the girls' feelings and intentions, and contributed very little to the story as a whole. I asked myself at the end, "What did the females see in this worthless loser?"
I measure a male lead according to his believability factor. In short, does he have the traits that could win over the girls in the series? Does he create opportunities to bond with the girls? Do his actions help deepen the relationships? The answer to those questions is undeniably yes when the subject is Junichi. Every male lead has a "flaw" that makes him a bit of an awkward character - for Junichi, its his extreme boldness which he sometimes displays too openly. Despite this "flaw," he actually comes across as more of an average guy than many other male leads.

I think he is a cute guy. I mean he is more pure than erotic (some scenes could be considered erotic xD~, anyway...). Sometimes we find he is a little child-like, but he is also a mature guy who is always considered reliable by the heroins. ^ ^

The series that shall not be named. *cough*
He may be an idiot but he does display the right amount of dedication/sincerity when it counts. When he isn't acting like a perverted monkey but that's kind of what makes him funny.

Well since time repeats itself everytime a new arc starts, I'm sure Junichi cannot mess up in anyway with the other girls, when he is chasing after a certain girl. (to get us back on-topic)
