At Omaemo (hopefully it will stop migrate and rename for a month at least and so the link remain valid):

Itazura na Kiss was, despite its appearances, epic enough to surpass Special A in every department bar character design, and even that didn’t matter as much, all things considered. [...] This was also a fresh breath of air after insipid S.A. — for one, Kotoko was way more easier to relate to than Hikari; while S.A. seemed like just another trashy shoujo work with wish fulfilment after wish fulfilment (now I know how girls must feel when they watch bad harem), InK, despite its seemingly cheesy predicament (boy lives with girl under the same roof due to circumstances is totally original content), segued into it smoothly without breaking my suspension of disbelief.

The shoe on the other foot must be amusing, but really it's not news that girls and boys get paternalized and supposed about by the creators under the "but it sells" excuse. BTW, why would girls want to watch bad harem when there are so many good ones? I only watch good shoujo.
