EDIT: Read bits and pieces of V3, lol I'll drop it to probably 2 stars. Still no resolution whatsoever, it's just running away from the issue and its supposed theme with random slice of life bullshit. As a spoiler, Spoiler
ending is yet another cliffhanger and poor, poor Haruka.
[collapse]I can see how people like this, but I also see that it's just literally asinine. It really is just glorified (as said by one other reviewer) and softcore NTR. I'm not one to judge something based on its themes, I'll give everything an equal opportunity even if I hate this kind of development. From a (hopefully) purely objective view, I don't really see this as something good. Its theme is just being masked by tons and tons of 'sugar', and its consequences aren't really given much time to be explored. I know it's probably because this novel doesn't take it seriously, but with a theme like that, it SHOULD be taken seriously, and that's probably where the dissonance comes from.Now on to a slightly more subjective review, I absolutely despise the main character. He already has a significant other, and he deigns to even turn his eyes to his girlfriend's sister. I don't see that as something brave, or something to be celebrated, it's just pitiful. He has no previous experience, and he decides to try and ruin his first relationship. "B-but, he's still loyal to Haruka!". Yeah, no. Unless thinking inappropriate thoughts towards his girlfriend's sister counts as loyalty.I probably embellished some parts, but yeah, with an even more risque volume 3 cover, I doubt the story will head to a good direction (at least, for Haruka).
