    This really isn’t a problem in this series. 125 chapters in on the manga, and the story still hasn’t devolved into a dramatic love-quarrel with reckless collateral damage.

    Due to how lending works, it means everyone has to reward Yuuki (though Tenka starts joining in on the rewarding just cuz, even when she hasn’t done any borrowing), the dynamic evolves towards something legitimately polyamorous.

    For the reward to be something intimate, Yuuki has to be interested in the first place, so where other series might make a big deal out of the guy hanging out with one girl and the rest feeling all hurt because “well I must not be the one” the girls here don’t really have any room for doubt. They are all genuinely wanted, and they can know that for sure.

    This series doesn’t quite do emotional conflict, (aside from the Azuma family pieces of shit) instead when two girls both borrow Yuuki, that it will turn into a three-way instead of a competition, is just a foregone conclusion.

      Rei-senpai’s reward in this episode showed it well. Since she’s just a kid, Yuuki doesn’t see her in a romantic way; the reward was cute instead of sexy.

        Yup, and it was still affectionate. Though her rewards are never sexual or romantic in nature, it’s still stuff that shows that Yuuki loves and cares for Nei. Stuff like hugs, a pat on the head or verbal praise.

        And that goes for the other girls too, rewards aren’t always lewd.
