Wait, are there so many similar stories that we can discuss their standard cliché already?
Could someone kindly mention a dozen or two of their titles for the science's sake?
5toubun iirc. Fuutarou was gonna get fired by the quints dad and the quints realized they didn't want Fuutarou out of their lives. These kind of situations tend to be "obsolete status quo breakers" and the beginning of the true story.
Kek, maybe i should have regretted to wish the SH5 and Nonoka never cross paths. Now i want it to happen.
Here, the trigger for the SH5 and the true harem horserace beginning will come once they try to convince Hiromi to go back with them after feeling threatened by Nonoka being too close to Hiromi (or at least, the tech girl, Yukari and Lili feeling the most threatened). As long as the "no romance between the roomies" rule is still up, Hiromi won't come back.
I smell an "old status quo breaker, new status quo creator" moment soon... i'm not talking about sex or Hiromi getting engaged yet, but
the no-romance between roomies rule being finally lifted... ah, and i don't think Chika is done for, she'll find out about Hiromi and his haremettes
