(One episode watched):

Based only on the title, I had thought this would be about some teenage dude who all the girls adore at some particular high school. Based on the opening scene, it seems that some sort of supernatural power really is involved here, but afterwards there is no explanation of it or what the person involved there has to do with the GoHS tournament. The tournament itself seems a good deal more conventional--unless the wild action is not just a joke/exaggeration but is actually the result of some sort of spiritual power on the part of the combatants (but nobody said anything that would imply that). I'm guessing this is based on a South Korean manga since that's where the story begins and the three main characters all have Korean names. I got one good laugh out of something that happened during the prolonged chase of a purse snatcher that almost diverted the three main characters from the tournament. Eh, I would rather have been told something additional about the significance of the first scene than have gotten so much martial arts action. The main characters didn't really grab me, and I was sensing 'fight of the week' here, so I declined to watch any more. It turns out that a number of critics at ANN later rated this as the worst anime of Summer 2020, so I probably made the right call.
