I quite enjoyed the conversation with Kumaka,felt like two characters who took a moment between themselves to try and assess a situation, I am glad she is not just a stereotype but can discuss things in a level headed way.

Son of Rentaro continues his journey to go to 4
What I am liking so far is that the writer is trying to keep him normal despite the abnormal situation, I love 100GF but if this one goes for a more grounded approach I think it benefits the story, that way it doesn't feel like a copycat and can make the somewhat incredible stakes more credible..........
Think about John Wicks, he committs inhuman feats, BUT, because of how much effort they put in with the stunt work, and you can see that what happens is actually being done, the actors do make those moves, it makes it all more believable, that way I don't have to actively use my suspension of disbelief.

I think it was first highlighted when he stayed up all night to make a schedule that would balance the time between the three of them....and then 2 things happened right after, 1) He was already exhausted at that 2) The third girl popped.

To me that means that he won't become a superhuman...or at least, we will see him grow as a person, to make it work.

Is it me, or does every Karin feel like she's from a later stage in her life than the previous?

Himeka feels like her personality as a little child.
Galka is her personality while her time with Yuu.
Kumoka is her personality during the time she was bullied.
And Aika is her personality after she overcame the bullying.
That would make sense. Yuu prayed at different moments of their lives. The Karins must have come from each of them in the same order

I believe it is stated that he prayed once everyday. The sequence of 3 moments only highlights how he did it from childhood until now. So yes and no, but I think the original point that the Karins are from different points of her life is valid to a point.

It's nice how this series focuses on change. Neither of two Karins feel like they changed that much when Yuu first met them, they were more like exaggerating two traits about the girl he remembered.
Kume'ka felt very anxious if not resentful about the fact that she changed and thus dropped the idea that Yuu loves her since she's distinctly not "herself" anymore, whereas Ai'ka seems to hate the idea of Yuu and their relationship changing, probably being afraid that Yuu who isn't the same, is Yuu who doesn't love her anymore.

Ooh yeah we got our maid chapter, the parallels with 100Kanojo keeps being funny

She’s like Kiki but with early Mimimi and Karane mixed in

I'm glad it doesn't trying to copy Kanojo mo Kanojo and 100gf (seen author did 100kano fanart before serializing), keeping series relatively grounded and focusing on them being split up and how their dynamic. Though I must admit I'm not really feeling Aika's design compared to first 3 Karin's and sometimes artstyle can look a bit rough and deformed to my taste.

Usually "If I lose, I'll only be allowed to have one girlfriend!" would be extremely low stakes. Good job to the manga for making me care.
Not just low stakes, in most manga, I'd consider a protagonist who would say something like that to be a scummy cheater/player. And yet, they are all the same person, so its comes off super wholesome and sweet and i can't help but want him to succeed.

Himeka saying she's rather be served and totally fitting that princess position is on point!

And I find Aika kind of cute. It's not obvious right now but she's a hardworker and obviously clinging to a memory or their positions back when they were kids. She's confident but can't bare to show weakness and hungry to prove herself and is active in trying to maintain her place

Am I messed up for liking someone's weakness?
