Summary
Sakuragi Ryou believes there are three different ranks inside the high school hierarchy. The "A" rank consists of the best looking, the smartest, and the most athletic members of the high school. The "B" ranks are the average members, while the "C" ranks tend to be ignored by the rest of the school. Against his own will, Ryou was dragged into the "A" ranks of his middle school, leading a school life he did not choose. Now entering high school, he vows to stay out of the limelight, and cement himself as part of the "B" ranks. He just wants to live a peaceful and uneventful school life.

One evening after school, he runs into a scene of three delinquents surrounding a girl. He was hoping he wouldn't have to intervene, but the girl was in desperate need of help. The girl he just saved happened to be the prettiest girl of his high school, and now she wants to repay him for saving her. Ryou now must take all measures to not attract the attention of the rest of the school to stay in the "B" ranks.

One of the most generic, wish fulfilling and self inserting designed manga I've read. It follows mountains of cliches that are laughable when unironically used. Things such as some how glasses turns a super hot guy into an incredibly mediocre looking guy. MC being a secret OP monster who is somehow skilled in every art / sport possible. Completely unbeatable in all forms of competition, always has the moral high ground and is loved by all women. Is somehow mysterious and unknown and is pretty much omnipotent as well as omniscient.

If the summary wasn't enough of a redflag, hopefully this review will be. This manga can't pick a genre, setting or story. The summary for the manga only really lasts a chapter, then on occasion he tries to get his literal superhuman acts to quietly disappear. One chapter it may feel like being some vomit inducing poorly formulated love comedy. Next it tries to be some superhuman battle shounen every other chapter having the MC fight 10 guys or destroying steel doors while doing backflips on a unicycle while filing his taxes and solving the 7 wonders of the world. Then perhaps a drama mystery in which a secret hero saved a woman years ago (wonder who the fuck that was eh?) but now dark tidings are happens and the villain is poor school girl with tragic past that the author doesn't wanna spell out for fear of getting age gated and thus dances around the topic like a drunk chimp with no feet.
Basically, the genres that this series picks for each chapter is kinda like playing Russian Roulette where each genre is a different bullet, FMJ, Hollow Point, Armor Piercing, and no bullet for a good chapter that fits in with what the series originally set out to be, except you're playing with glock.

He somehow starts surrounded with a harem and with the 'Madonna' as his girlfriend with very little explanation. He conveniently is somehow related to every minor or major character / event present in the story. Usually to the effect of being the savior / superior type of thing. If you wanna know how any event in the story is going to turn out, just think of the most generic and cliche manga occurrences possible, and you'll hit the nail on the head. He is always on the moral high ground, is never wrong, never loses, is always ready for any development and probably knows the cure to cancer but doesn't have enough time to write it down between beating up delinquents and saving princesses.

If you want a TL;DR just imagine what a superficial nerd in highschool world fantasize about being, and you'll probably end up with something like this manga.

I have been following this manga for a while and since there are no reviews I will write a pretty basic one.

The story is simple a boy who is OP has thought that he needs to live a peaceful life and so when he starts high school he wears glasses and tries to be the quiet kid in the background. He succeeds, to his dismay (or not) he saves a pretty girl from bullies by beating them all up then he tells her to forget what she say and he races to class. When he arrives he continues his sleep all day long schedule. After his sleeping there his friend runs up to him saying that the prettiest girl in school is coming over to their class.

She then runs in and gets all buddy buddy with him and it of course gets everyone's attention. soon after her comes all of her friends(prettiest girls in the school) and they start to hang out with him and that gets everyone of the boys to be jealous of him.

I like this kind of story so I may be bias. Most modern manga don't have this kind of story anymore. Well there are but, they usually have a weak as all hell MC or everyone has huge tits that take up the whole story(not saying this manga doesn't have big tits). But this story is more old fashioned and doesn't progress to fast or have too much damn drama.

The art is good not a masterpiece or a piece of shit but good and smooth. I like it especially how most of the translated are in high def.

The Character development is good and moves at a steady pace with people dating and hanging out. I can already foresee the future of the soon to be story of this anime. Its going to be the MC being a badass like always but as time goes on he will have past connections with many of the characters in the manga by him either saving them or being a good guy so there will be many romantic developments by different girls towards him but I think he will stay with the same girl for the rest of the manga.

I really enjoy reading this manga but the only things I dislike is how long it takes for a chapter to be released but I am an impatient guy as it is so IDK if that will affect anyone else who reads it. Also this manga isn't anything amazing but it is under appreciated for certain because most people don't really hear of it but its good

I have to say that overall I do recommend that you read this manga it is definitely worth your time. But don't take my word for it just read the first 3 or so chapters and you can see for yourself if this manga is for you.
