This review will have spoilers in it, still, I'll try to remain vague about the reason for "major" plot points. TL;DR without spoilers at the very end.
This story is like a drug. Why do I say it's like a drug, you may ask? BECAUSE DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOU.
I feel like anyone who's approaching this story will likely finish it in a few sitting as it draws you in in the same way you'll get drawn in by watching a car crash. It's a dumpster fire that keeps on giving and whenever you feel like it can't get worse and it'll finally start to get
...
better, the story roundhouse kicks your ass down to new depths of atrocity and you'll be stuck there once again admiring the dumpster going on fire while fighting the urge to puke.
The story is about a new initiative created in a small city to raise the birthrates by allowing a man to have multiple wives thus increasing the chance of having children. If you are asking yourself why they don't just use a sperm donor through a sperm bank, don't worry, that just means you have a working brain and are not retarded like the characters in the story.
The problem of the story lies within the fact that you're technically watching the story of a "Hare-Kon" (title-drop) which this harem-like type of marriage but it never feels like it, you watch the story of the creepy MC and wife #3 and what is nothing more than drama-fodder until around chapter 80 (wife#2) and a lovable outgoing girl until around chapter 105 (wife#3).
The final part of this dumpster fire is, just to stay in time with the rest of the story, atrocious. That's it.
We follow the life of Date family composed of "Ryuu", who plays the part of the husband, and his 3 wives: Yuzu (wife#1), Madoka ( wife#2), and Koharu(wife#3).
Ryuu is the male MC and even if the author tries hard to make it a somewhat sympathetic character, he only comes out as creepy, he does evolve through the story, and from creepy he becomes super- creepy. Oh, he says he likes all of his wives equally but he really only likes #3. That's it.
Yuzu is the lovable first wife and probably the only saving grace of the story until around chapter 100 onwards when she has the opportunity of setting things right and give a sort of "happy ending" to the story but, ultimately, the story just dives into the shadow realm of shitty storytelling. That's it.
Madoka is the best-written character of the series as long as the author was trying to create the most annoying, boring, one-dimensional, bitchy and downright lazy character in manga history. That's it.
Koharu is the true female MC the story is all about how she always dated guys that used her to cheat on their wives, but her father's coffee shop is going to close because of some 30 million yen debt, so she marries males MC in exchange for the money. AT first, she hates him, leaves the house, 2 chapters after she's deeply in love with him, then she's jealous of wives #1 , another 4 chapters and she adores them, then she wanna be pregnant etcetera. She changes ideas so fast it's unnatural, to the point in which you really can't enjoy her character. That's it.
The art is really good. That's it.
TL;DR: This manga sucks. That's it.
