Standing at the crossroads of life; the important choices - “Flags”. Hatate Souta, a young man who can see these flags, transferred to “Hatagaya School”, a prestigious school in the metropolitan area. Not only does he meet beautiful girls in his busy school life, he even goes as far as living with them under the same roof! Surrounded by these flags, this enviable romantic comedy begins!
I really like the manga series. And It's going to be made into an anime soon, so if anyone's willing, I'd help fund the project or help edit the grammar/typos (as my Japanese is really poor with really half a semester of the class)
Well, since this clearly never even got off the ground, let me bump it here. This is pretty silly, but interesting, and I would personally love to see it translated.
In the future if I study enough I might take this up if I can get my hands on the material. The plot is a slow start but it starts to get interesting farther in manga wise.
Also the desc for both the manga and anime is kind of lacking, but with the plot starting late I could see why >.> It actually gets pretty intense around chp 13 in the manga. The flags are kind of (This is a poor comparison but please bare with me.) like a linear quest system from an mmo or rpg where one choice progresses the story while the other choice is certain death.
The plot itself hasn't expanded too much, but it has dropped different hints here and there to some of the mc and broadens the story a bit. Definitely not a casual harem/romantic/comedy.
Spoiler! :
It basically spills into different worlds/timelines/universes. And from what I can tell certain characters have hidden traits/abilities hidden within them, though the story hasn't shown too much yet to confirm it.

I quickly translated the first page (slightly less technically because the last sentence overran but I'm sleepy, so this will do):
Spoiler! :
In a town like any other, at a busy intersection like any other, among the people waiting for the traffic lights was a fifteen year old girl with a name not like any other; Nanami Knight Bladefield stood bundled in her school uniform and above that, a thick, hooded coat.
She stood out among the rest of the group, beyond just looking different, she boasted beautiful features, not to mention her foreign air, complemented by an unrealistically golden ponytail and long pale, slender legs stretching from a short skirt.
At just under 150 cm, she could be called petite, however, this too became another feature that drew people's eyes. The only thing that could be said to be a bad point was that her chest was too modest.
Moreover, she was wrapped in an aura of high class as the thirteenth princess of the Bladefield Kingdom.
I had almost no idea what was going on when I was watching the anime. I'm kinda discouraged to read the LN, but I might understand what is happening a lot more.
If you go through the LN images then theres a whole lot more stuff that they cut out. Like they tried cramming 9 volumes worth of development into 12 episodes. I went through most of the raws and wow... the stuff they took out was stuff worth watching. With a LN like this I don't understand how it's hard to have a big budget it looks great and even the premise is good. From episode 10-episode 13 they crammed 5 volumes worth of content. This novel deserves something so much better.
Going by the manga and the LN spoilers I've got, the anime is kinda like FMA's first anime (at first looks like the same story, but after reaching a certain point, it changes completely).
I was sure I had seen that in the teaser section...
