~~Knock knock~~...Tenka's here, and she has...needs. She is going to be a problem for Yuuki, that is for sure. Do your best ~~Yuuki~~ little slave.
I had thought that Shushu was going to be the thirstiest character we saw in this series. Boy was I wrong. Tenka makes it very clear this episode that she has her eyes on Yuuki, in an explicitly physical way. She doesn't play around with any kind of normal anime/manga confession shenanigans. There isn't really any mistaking showing up in somebody's room, stripping them, and asking to go out with them.
In some ways, it is refreshing how open Tenka is with things. By comparison, Shushu also has a crush on Yuuki, but has decided that she will try to get him to like her more before she says anything. Then there is Himari, who seems to respect and appreciate Yuuki, but in her own flavor of firearm wielding tsundere way. Seeing how Tenka interacted with Yuuki affected all of our harem, but probably none more than the commander. Kyouka, due to her ability, has always been a bit possessive of Yuuki (despite also practicing giving him away this episode). However, after Tenka's meddling, she got possessive of Yuuki:
The new Yuuki forms were fun. Not sure how often we might see them, but I hope that Shushu gets her time to shine while using Yuuki. Shushu just really wants some rewards, alright?!
This kind of relationship development is why I don't like most harem series. At the rate the story is going, many of these girls are going to end up heartbroken.
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.
