A Reverse Harem packed with study tips!

There are two ways to look at this show, one, it is a reverse harem story, with a female protagonist who is so dumb at relationships that you might feel the need to break the fourth wall and flick her head and two, it is such a motivating show filled with study tips and quotes, that you might wanna drop everything and start studying or working towards your dream. And I was very much fascinated by the latter part that I graciously ignored the former aspect, howsoever, the cliched and outlandish romance of a teacher and student. Although she waits till he joins Todai, it was just too unrealistic for me. I might wanna rewatch this again for the numerous motivating quotes.
I really loved the "Happy Birthday" by Back Number which depicts the sadness and yearning of the Male lead.
Overall, it is a very enjoyable show given that I haven't found the substitute jdrama which gives so much motivation to excel in life.

List of Favourite quotes
1. What are you going to do if you can focus only when you’re comfortable? A human brain can’t understand the word “no”.
2. Life being hard is not the same as being unhappy. You both worked hard in your own way. There’s no point in comparing like that.
3. People who’ve worked hard in sports, people who’ve studied hard, people who worked hard finding their purpose in life, people who’ve worked hard to make their parents proud, and people who’ve worked hard to overcome loneliness. Everyone takes the same exam and your result determines your path. That’s what makes it an exam. There are no excuses.
4. Raising your score is like going on a diet. You don’t just raise it a little bit at a time. If you reinforce your foundations and keep practising, you’ll see a drastic change one day. It’ll come even more drastically if you haven’t studied much before so look forward to it!
5. This world isn’t always filled with good people, but if you keep trying, I promise you’ll always find people who will become your allies.
6. But regardless of work or something else, as long as you’re striving to reach the top, you’ll always have to make tough decisions.
7. Your dream will come true if you work hard. That’s not something I want to lie about. Everyone is working just as hard but only a fixed number of students can pass.
