Polyamory Lite

It was refreshing to see a drama featuring a polyamorous relationship not end in "finally making a choice" or a sad breakup, especially as we get so few titles featuring polyamory as it is. For that, I give them credit!

However, I did find the presentation of the relationship to be rather surface-level, with very few moments of romance or real, quality time spent with Kita and each of his partners. I kept waiting and hoping to see more depth. The drama seemed more focused on side plots and outside obstacles interfering in the "33% Club," though.

I can understand already having the relationship between the three and Kita established and so not delving much into their backgrounds, but for the polyamory to play such a major role in the story and not actually illustrate/prove how strong the connections are to make them so committed . . . Made me find the drama lacking.

It's not bad by any means; it's light and fun, but, for me, it just didn't take itself seriously enough when it mattered.

Also, my lord, could Minami, Toko, and Yu be possessive of Kita!

For positive polyamory rep, I'd still recommend it! Sannin Fufu is coming in at #1, though!
