Why did Erika just do a 180 on her feelings? Why can't we have more organic writing?
11 episodes of nothingness and suddenly she's jealous when seeing Nagi and Hiro hang out... is it really that hard to at least show some hints here and there that she's falling in love with him? At the very least show that she gets more attracted to him over time...

And the end with Nagi picturing all three of the girls..., harem without any progress in the relations here we come...

Up to episode 10 I actually thought this was quite a decent show, then we got the sister with feelings for him and now Erika doing the 180...


its not 180 she has slowly falling for him, she just didn't show it before but seeing them together brought it out

I don't know how I feel about Erika's jealousy. It seemed to come out of no where.
Also hom seeing Sachi at the end was awkward as well.

Idk I still like Erika and Hiro so it's fine for now.


it can happen, u help some1 with their romance and suddenly start to get jealous without realizing it urself, but that doesn't mean the feelings for that person came out of nowhere, they slowly grew for long time without showing

The manga is still running so even if the anime ends I don't think Nagi will have a decision, but I'm sure the ending will be like Nisekoi, and I don't mind if that's the case. What bothers me is that there probably won't be one in the anime and it will take a long time to decide to finish the manga. xdd

1. Polygamy is Illegal in Japan
2. His biological father and mother are well know in the hotel industry this scandal will ruin their reputation

IDK how the author will handle this unless they try to rewrite Japanese law. Yes I know this is only a work of fiction but this manga is based on modern japan so its assumed the laws are included as well.

I kind of feel similarly.

If she did have feelings for him, the reaction would be believable in the sense that she must have assumed she had nothing to worry about but then when she saw the two of them together (after he turned her down to go shopping) she realized he's serious.  It's just that there was very very little that showed she had budding feelings.

There have certainly been little segments of Erika appreciating who Nagi is but there has been little in terms of romantic progression or even in terms of infatuation between the two.  About all I can recall is Nagi thinking she's cute and both of them acting jealous at various times (Erika this episode and Nagi on the school trip).  Also a handful of comments that he said about her.  But is that it?

Don't get me wrong, I really like Erika when she's being genuine (see the fishing trip), she's got a very pretty character design, and she's both entertaining plus interesting to watch.  However, I have zero reason to root for her with Nagi at the moment.  Hiro on the other hand doesn't do anything for me personally but there's at least chemistry with them.  I do feel like she's too intense / competitive for him but we'll see..

That being said, it was interesting to watch Nagi's introspective on his feelings.  If the show had more of this it would be a lot better.  Having heard small bits about the manga, I'm not exactly confident this will go anywhere...

I'm dropping it. Too many characters, but MC especially, are making nonsensical decisions so the plot can happen. Tedious.

That's shows how insensitive Nagi can be after completely refuse Erika ask in the first act. I know its not that necessary for Nagi since all of the fiance chores were just a fake. But y'know something can change drastically even to your feelings if you don't even get along with the assignment that well. You know what i mean? Now everything became even more complex asf since he can't even find the true love among those three. I mean, Sachi also included there too? After the kiss incident? Idk if its too based to handle or Nagi just completely out of mind lmao.

After all this is such a mess...

Halfway through the anime and finally this can be considered a harem, I think.

Wow this episode was a big letdown. The beginning was great, and then the Erika "date" ruined it, and then the MC randomly has this extremely forced "doubt" moment that does not bode well for the future of this series.

I can't understand why the author would write such amazing chemistry between Nagi and Hiro only to undermine it on purpose with two characters (who are both practically his sisters, by the way...) being so shoehorned in. They aren't bad characters when they don't act like love interests but every time they do it's unnatural and just annoying. It's completely unrealistic that Nagi would fall in love any of the girls except Hiro (especially Sachi), and it's especially unrealistic for him to be doubting his feelings when he has structured his entire life in high school around studying solely because he was in love with her.

I get that the author originally wanted the story to be about Nagi x Erika, but up until now that really hasn't been what it was at all, and it's been great. I wish it was a story about family, with the romance between Nagi and Hiro supplementing it. That's how it was originally sold in the first 8 or so episodes. But now it's pivoting to a forced harem despite two of the three heroines being his family members who he has been treating like sisters up until this point... are we as the audience seriously supposed to sympathize with this somehow?

I would respect it a lot more if, instead of forcing the story back "on track" so the predetermined "main couple" can still end up together, the author was willing to adapt and change the story as it went to accommodate what best suits the characters as they develop. A different manga (no anime adaptation unfortunately) that does this very well is Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru.
