Agreed, the mc looks too young.

Also, even though his surroundings are mostly women, this does not feel like a harem at all, talking about the manga, dunno if the ln is different.

Character designs is kinda lacking to me. I hope they would change it a bit.

I've read the novel, its basically the same with the manga but there are some minor developments it didn't portray. Like spoiler[Kyouka has feelings for Atobe (this one is much more noticeable) and Suzuna's close to romantic feelings (its not but more on she always get blushed towards Arihito) due to Ariadne's influence and leveling devotion towards her via Magic Transfer and restoration while Suzuna getting possesed by her. They share by placing their backs to each other and Arihito uses a skill to restore mana as i remember. ]

Anyways, the story isnt really focusing on romance and harem but there are scenes it would for comedic timings etc. Just expect pure action, game like setting using skills, and upgrading equipments.
Though its still depends on how it will be portrayed in the anime. Which im skeptical a bit

I read the Manga and it is pretty good, though all the women being attracted to him while he's asleep is a little suspect.

I dunno. I actually like these character designs. They seem more mature and suitable for their actual ages.

I really hope they expand more on the the story and characterization so it won't be just action. I thought the main characters being working adults was a really great hook, so I was disappointed the series ended up focusing mostly on 'game mechanics.'
