I’d forgotten that this arc introduced some of these characters’ main recurring gags in the series, Shizuka being very light and Hakari and Karane kissing (although you could say that started in chapter/episode 2), most of the new characters have all of their gags shown in their introduction chapter or when they meet the other girlfriends, so it’s weird to see be reminded that it wasn’t always like that
After Rentaro's heart to heart with Kusuri and Karane's subtitles actually said Chad, the moment we read Hakari's line, I know thst it escalated quivkly. *And we see some escalated moments in the manga as well.*
I do hope the internet would circulate the meme of a boyfriend having his two girlfriends in his harem kiss and sail his own Yuri ship WITHIN his own harem. the anime only reactions on youtube towards Hakari just saying "im so wet right now" is just perfect. they all had the best reactions to it.
