And, to contrast my experience with 2.5 Dimensional Seduction this week, here’s a harem story that is pretty good at managing to have a heart amidst all its various antics without undercutting itself.
Not that the opening chapters do it any favours, mind, deciding to add Azuki into the b-tier of Uryu’s potential mates. I’m pretty sure we never needed to expand these choices beyond the three sisters who are right there in the flipping title, but I’m not the one with a bestselling manga.
Anyway, Azuki gets drunk and blah blah near-debauchery and whatever. The real reason this happens is that it gets Uryu out of the house as the shrine gears up for the huge New Year’s crowds that will be showing up.
Which might spell disaster, except Yuna steps up and really has things under control. Then she turns into a version of herself around ten years younger and even more chaos ensues.
The very best moments of this series have been focused on the supernatural storylines, to varying degrees of success. At first, having Yuna suddenly regress in age seems mostly like an excuse for her to get babied and for Yae and Asahi to make fun of Uryu for hitting on a kid (he doesn’t, thankfully, but I am glad they called that out either way).
Except it’s not age regression - Yuna swaps with her future self, so teenage Yuna gets the chance to see her mother again. That might be as emotionally manipulative as it gets, but it is effectively emotionally manipulative.
There’s also a big mystery suddenly introduced that has existed this entire time without a single hint of it being a thing, which actually kind of works for once. And, back in the future, the even more ahead in time future of the shrine is called into question.
It’s good. I don’t think it’s the best we’ve seen from the series, but it manages to be a lot friendlier with its silliness and only occasionally lewd. It deploys its fanservice a bit more conservatively and knows when to let its serious moments be serious.
Neither this manga nor 2.5 Dimensional Seduction were firing on all cylinders this week, honestly, but if I was directly comparing I’d give this the nod. I think what they were trying in 2.5D was more audacious and interesting, but this one actually achieved its goal by aiming lower. Matching your reach to your grasp is not the worst thing ever.
3.5 stars - no rounding up, since the first part is merely okay and I’d like to see where this is going, but it’s a solidly average entry for a series that has pretty strong average entries.
