Do you like childhood friend characters /a/? What appeal that

Because The childhood friend has been with the protagonist since they were children. If the childhood friend didn't take this opportunity, then he/she has a high chance of being friend zoned

Osama jimmies are the worst thing to come to anime, especially when they just keep being just friends

>rarely wins the protagonist's love
It's kind of like the Seven Year Itch. Part of what makes a romantic relationship so exciting and intense in the beginning is the newness and unfamiliarity of the entire experience. To a slightly lesser degree, there's the genetic predisposition to avoid romantic relationships with people one knows before puberty, which is a mechanism humans evolved to avoid mass inbreeding amongst immediate family members. In this case, the childhood friend is an unintentional casualty.

>but rarely wins the protagonist's love when other heroines are present?
They fucking deserve it. They always cuck themselves.

I'd say it's good, at the very least I was always looking forward to the translations. It has three sets of main characters so you never really get tired of seeing a character too much since they mix it up more.

Their personality is too bland when compared to other heroine, as childhood friends often symbolize the old, boring life of the MC before the show starts, unless when there are a bunch of them around and the producer have to add additional quirks to them so the audience can differentiate one childhood friend with another, which makes them more interesting.

What if everyone is a childhood friend?

One osananajimi wins while the rest of the osananajimi lose. Or a additional girl pops up in the middle of the show and makes all the osananajimi lose. Sounds like a fair trade.

Are a tomboy's chances of winning improved if she's a childhood friend?

No, they usually suck bricks.
