This here is the Yukino harem economy

[47Time · Rating 5 out of 5]

These girls can't catch a break. Yuki's job has her manage an idol, while Iwai is contacted by the man who had a one night stand with Yuki, but she doesn't know that yet. I'm starting to think they won't end up together. Add a man into the mix, some heavy drinking and you have a recipe for disaster.

An item that stood out in the dialogue is the maturity of these young characters when it comes to intimate relationships. It's the highlight of the series, by far. The TnA is a bonus.

Yuki's idol Shiori asks Yuki to be her girlfriend. I mean, what are the odds to meet another lesbian out of the blue? Then she meets another acquaintance, Osawa the jpop fan, who also shows interest in her. Do you remember when she had no prospects and was a loner? Well, now she gets offers from both men and women. Former jpop idol with thick legs, my @ss. People are tripping over themselves to be with her. Whew, the life of a bisexual lesbian must be tough. The two drink a bit too much and she falls asleep. Not knowing where she lives, Osawa takes her to Iwai's place.

The next morning Iwai reveals her frustration at Yuki's recklessness - she was lucky to have been with Osawa, but another guy might have taken advantage of her. She even threatens to end their relationship if Yuki does it again. They soon make up (with some crying on Yuki's part). To clear the waters with Osawa and Shiori, Yuki tells them openly about her relationship with Iwai. And get this - both are willing to wait it out if thinkgs don't work between them. Boy, this girl this lucky!

¿Soy la única persona a la que le pareció un poco tóxica la actitud de Setsuko? Entiendo de dónde viene, pero igual no puedo evitar que me haga un poco de ruido. Más allá de eso, me gusta ver que la prota se está empezando a plantar más, sobre todo con lo que le cuesta hacerse escuchar. Siento que sigo sin acabar de conectar con los personajes, pero me da curiosidad cómo va a terminar la cosa entre ellos.

Okay, but the main beib really needs to start standing up for herself. And it looks like she's progressing, but honestly even if she were single she should've been able to make it clear she's not interested and stand by it. Hopefully there'll be some more of that growth in the next volumes.

I enjoy the maturity of this series. The entanglements are getting more complicated but I’m here for the drama of it. Having issues and problems is more a rarity of this genre so I’m still interested in seeing where each one goes.

[Dumb popcorn's manga · Rating 4 out of 5]

I swear to God this manga is intense I'm super worried and on edge anytime I read it. I love it though it's harsh and real, it feels super genuine with its character who are not perfect.
