DOROHEDOROBRO v2
I'm not even sure if I should start this series.

Yeah, if you start from the beginning, the whole manga could feel... long, in a bad way.
Some parts are a little convoluted at times.
What I liked was that you could see Keima go from a smart brat who only cared about games to a smarter brat that cared about people's feelings.
It's the obvious change, but I had fun reading and being like, "What's that look, Keima?" "There was an unplanned pause there, Keima." "Have fun masking your sadness, Keima." I'm glad it happened gradually, getting more intense until the end of the series.
Also, I like shojo. The romance type. Midway through, the main plot isn't about romance, but they kept the dating sim thing going.
I think it has a nice mix of sweet and cool, with a little dating sim snark for humour. Not moe sweet and Bebop cool, but romcom sweet and Lelouch cool (all mixed with tons of jokes).
If you're in that type of mood, you might make it through some chapters.
If not, you might get bored.
And the first season of the anime is better than the first 13 chapters. Just sayin.
