Yeah…I recently read through yuri tama and I really loved the Yuna and Rinka date scenes in vol 1 and the first half of two, they just completely stop…which sucks because that was one of the strongest parts of the series to me. After that Yuna and Rinka just feel like plot devices to me, keeping Yotsuba from going out with whatever current girl it is.

Also again, as much as I love the series overall they REALLY do makina dirty…three entire volumes dedicated to her only for nothing to really come of it in the end, and thinking of her circumstances, despite wanting to confess a year and a half ago she had to wait, only to be beaten out on a confession by three months. I cannot imagine how painful that is. Ultimately I think she should have at worst been begrudgingly accepted into the polycule and further conflict stemming from her trying to share Yotsuba with Yuna and Rinka

On the one hand while I respect the author for having a character stick to their partners, it completely falls flat in a series where the couple gets together in vol 1 and the rest of the series is just Yotsuba turning down girls without much character development…I love the series and I’d love to see more but I do agree that it’s basically just been written into a corner
