First Impressions

The setup is classic reincarnation fare: a guy, Mars, finds himself in the world of a dating sim he barely remembers, determined to coast through life by latching onto the ridiculously handsome protagonist, Pollo. His plan? Help Pollo snag one of the heroines and reap the benefits as the best friend. But the story throws a curveball when the heroines, instead of vying for Pollo's attention directly, decide to hire Mars as their love consultant. It's a recipe for comedic chaos, and I was eager to see how it would play out.
