    they kind of have to make being a poly work

    There’s a power imbalance though, since Kyouka must be the one to lend Yuuki out to others.

      Or Himari. I wrote it in another comment, but Kyouka can’t truly keep Yuuki to herself if she wants to make the best use of his abilities.

      She gets over her hangups for lending him pretty quick, and it’s never made an issue, she doesn’t reward or punish anyone by lending/withholding Yuuki based on emotional bullshit.

      Sure, she has power over the others but not just through Yuuki. She’s literally the unit commander, and a good one. She makes decisions based on what allows her unit as a whole to be the most effective it can be.

      I’m not telling you things are fine based on what I’ve seen of the anime, I’m telling you this series doesn’t go emotionally sour, because I read the manga, and know that.

        To be fair, I’ve read the manga too😅

        It’s just that their relationships have yet to reach the later stages, and I’m concerned with how it will end. I’ve heard that other series have butchered relationships with otherwise-good progress.

        Hopefully, this one stays good.

          I’m honestly not troubled, the manga has already handled things that other series would turn into a complete shit-show in an very based manner.

          Like Nei, or the way the seventh unit looks out for Himari where her family is concerned.

          It displays a level of emotional intelligence that harem mangakas never seem to possess.
