Really disappointed with how this show went. As others have said, started with a great premise and solid first few episodes. Even the early twist was good IMO, because it set up an interesting dynamic where there wasn't a question of who liked who from the viewer perspective, but rather an issue of everyone overcoming the awkwardness of teenage emotions and mistakes.

Things went SERIOUSLY downhill after that though. Only one love interest was a truly genuine, kind person who tried to support Haru, while the other two were constantly being manipulative and self-serving.

It devolved into a repetitive my-turn-your-turn that was unsatisfying, and the sub-plot did ... very little to advance the main plot; it wasn't necessary, everything that happened could have been done without it. It was a distraction.

The finale was pretty awful too. It effectively invalidates everything that happened and resets all the relationships to pretty near where they'd been to start with, except the least deserving character got a free pass on their BS.

The most fun I had watching this show was basically asking myself "what psychopathic bullshit is Kuro going to do this week?"

I held out hope until the very end that they would do something original, or at minimum really dig into what makes each love interest better or worse. But nope. Only the MC has any substantive character development, and it's not enough to be fulfilling.
