So I’ve finally finished the last chapter of the manga, and I have a few things to say about the ending. The whole thing just feels wrong to me. I can’t believe that Ryuunosuke got his way in the end. Koharu is right about the fact that Ryuunosuke is just a child inside, if he doesn’t get what he wants he throws a fit and starts acting like it’s the end of the world. Not to mention that man is sadistic, perverted, greasy, and has a God complex. He has clearly stated that he doesn’t care if he hurts any of the girls, as long as his little fantasy is satisfied he actually gets off to hurting them and making them miserable. When Koharu told Yuzu about wanting to leave, Yuzu even admitted that she was losing faith in Ryuu and that she wanted to leave too if Koharu was going to leave. Also, Koharu and the others always talk about Ryuu’s good point being that he treats and loves the girls equally, but then he straight up asked Koharu if she would stay if he loved only her. The whole relationship just seems very unstable and unhealthy, which is why it’s good that Koharu decided to leave, but then she decided to come back only when she found out she was pregnant with Ryuu’s child. Also, what’s with Madoka’s attitude suddenly changing from being miserably set on causing destruction to the Date family to her accepting Koharu’s pregnancy and then joining once again as the second wife? It’s just all seems too drastic. I really wanted to see Koharu be happy without Ryuu because all throughout the manga it seemed that he was constantly causing Koharu emotional turmoil. I may be a little inaccurate in all the details of the earlier manga, but wasn’t one of the main reasons Koharu decided to marry Ryuu was to settle the debt? I just have so many mixed feelings about the ending and this manga as a whole. I really don’t like how much the author made all three girls so dependent on and obsessive of Ryuunosuke when he actually isn’t that great of a person in reality. Really wish this would have ended differently, but the author has every right to choose the story and ending.

As much as I’m hating how manipulative and conniving Madoka is acting with wanting to break apart the Hare-Kon, I almost can’t blame her. She definitely has malicious intent, but at the same time, she was with Ryuunosuke first until he decided to make it a polygamous relationship despite her obviously not liking it. I feel for her in a way.
