* MeetTheParents: Naoya's mother and father finally come home after being away from their house for so long, allowing them to come face to face with the two timing relationship and the extra girls staying in their home. Predictably, they're both angry with the relationship...but the father is simply jealous of the situation, while the mother points out that it can't last forever on empty promises and the girls' good will. Ultimately they're okay with him saying Saki and Nagisa, but they haven't even considered Mirika and Shino as official girlfriends (yet).

Don't use ambiguous terms when listing examples.


* ClingyJealousGirl: Both Saki and Nagisa to varying degrees. Saki's the most prominent example, being hyper-vigilant to any sign that Naoya could be falling for another girl. Justified with the fact that Naoya ''is'' openly two-timing her with Nagisa. Natural, she's worried that he's going to either leave her in favor for someone else, or decide he wants to add another girl into the mix.
** In comparison, Nagisa comes off as a more downplayed variation of this trope. She has admitted on a couple of occasions that she'd have preferred to have Naoya to herself, but she's pretty respectful of the fact that Saki was Naoya's girlfriend before she was, and ultimately does her best not to come between them in any way. On the other hand, she plays this trope absolutely straight when it comes to Rika, to the point where she openly [[FreakOut freaks out]] upon learning that Rika had been visiting Naoya at his job without any other customers around.
*** Shino and Rika may also count as examples. Though Rika initially offers to be Naoya's third girlfriend, she eventually does a 180 and tells Naoya that three-timing won't be tolerated, and that he'll have to break up with his current girlfriends if he ever decides to get with her. Likewise, Shino sees Saki as being far too lenient, and claims that she'd never give Naoya the opportunity to fall in love with another girl if she were the one dating him. Of course, these attitudes are pretty much the standard among those who participate in monogamous relationships, and one could make the case that these aren't necessarily signs that one is overtly clingy or possessive.

* SpiritualAntithesis: To a manga that started getting serialized right alongside it, ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou''. Both are wacky gag-based harem romantic comedy manga, both have devoted and straightforward male leads, both have everyone admit that what they're doing would be considered cheating in any other relationship, and both have the girls try to make the relationship work as the harem grows. However, there are key differences; while the attraction is supernatural in 100 Kanojo, everyone is genuinely in love and they are willing to make friends with the rest of the harem, eventually piling up into a family dynamic. Rentarou also has energy to spare so his girlfriends never have to feel like they're left out of the loop. In contrast, Kanojo Mo Kanojo has the love happen naturally, but it focuses on the problems with a harem; that the girlfriends he has do in fact want to monopolize their man's attention even if they like the other girls, and explores what happens if a haremette wants him all to herself or when he can't keep up with their needs and his own selfishness. The harem is also much smaller and he only intends on dating two of them.

* DeconstructiveParody: This harem situation may seem like a dream come true, but there are multiple instances where it's made clear that the girls are either putting up with the harem for the time being or are outright bothered by it. Both Saki and Nagisa don't like the idea of sharing their "firsts" with the other girl, such as with kisses or dating, and Saki especially feels left out at times and is always shown resenting the fact that Naoya openly two-timed her. At the same time, Naoya is determined to make both girls happy even with all those difficulties. It's just that his methods to achieve that tend to make a mockery of a little thing called "common sense". And above that, every person who eventually learns about the poly relationship never think of Naoya as lucky or the girls as sweet--they think everyone involved is an idiot, Naoya for two timing, the girls for ''letting'' him, and any hopefuls idiots for falling for a known two-timer.

* CovertPervert: Although Saki desperately tries to appear otherwise, it is clear that Saki is a massive pervert. From [[EvenGirlsWantHer openly lusting after Nagisa]] to secretly searching up ways to initiate sex with Naoya. Notably, when Naoya abstains from having ''any sex'' with his girlfriends, Saki is very obviously disappointed by this, which even Naoya himself notices.



* HypocriticalHumor: When the three are sleeping on futons together, Saki believes Nagisa is a pervert trying to have sex with Naoya when she really isn't. Ironically, as Nagisa realizes after searching through Saki's phone, it is ''Saki herself'' who is the pervert interested in having sex with Naoya.

[[caption-width-right:350: Clockwise starting top left; Rika, Shino, Saki, Nagisa.]]

Naoya Mukai is the happiest man on earth. After many ''many'' confessions, his childhood friend Saki Saki has finally accepted and become his girlfriend. All is looking well for the young man, and after proclaiming his love for Saki, he goes to wait for her to finish club activities on the roof, but upon arrival he is suddenly confessed to by Nagisa Minase, an extremely cute girl with a heart filled with love. How can Naoya possibly say no? Distraught that he would have to reject Nagisa, Naoya comes up with a brilliant one of a kind plan - he'll simply two-time Saki, with her permission of course. Thus begins the tumultuous love life of three young idiots.

And if it's something that can make them sad or worried, he will tell the truth and immediately look for a way to fix that issue, no matter how [[InsaneTrollLogic insane]] his solution sounds.
* BuxomIsBetter: Part of Rika's popularity of MeTube is her large chest and how her videos serve to emphasize it.
* CasualKink: Parodied. Saki starts to panic that she might have an [[{{Netorare}} NTR]] fetish after finding herself incredibly turned on when watching Naoya and Nagisa having an intimate ''hug''.
* DeconstructiveParody: This harem situation may seem like a dream come true, but there are multiple instances where it's made clear that the girls are either putting up with the harem for the time being or are outright bothered by it. Both Saki and Nagisa don't like the idea of sharing their "firsts" with the other girl, such as with kisses or dating, and Saki especially feels left out at times and is always shown resenting the fact that Naoya openly two-timed her. At the same time, Naoya is determined to make both girls happy even with all those difficulties. It's just that his methods to achieve that tend to make a mockery of a little thing called "common sense". And above that, every person who eventually learns about the poly relationship never think of Naoya as lucky or the girls as sweet--they think everyone involved is an idiot, Naoya for two timing, the girls for ''letting'' him, and any hopefuls idiots for falling for a known two-timer.
* TheDeterminator: When Naoya gets it in his mind to do something, nothing in this world will stop him until he accomplishes his goal. The downside is that he is like this with pretty much everything and can be a bit tiring to deal with. Though Shino and Nagisa both end up falling for him because of his steadfast determination, Saki just finds it annoying most of the time.
* FriendlyRivalry: Nagisa and Saki, despite being technically love rivals, are for the most part quite friendly with each other.
* HotSpringsEpisode: An arc of the series focuses on everyone going to a hot springs; it serves to be important in helping Nagisa deal with her insecurities and for Shino becoming more entangled with the central trio.
* InsaneTrollLogic: The basic premise of the series really, Naoya thinks the best option for his relationship woes is to just date both girls at the same time. His first and often only solution to any problem is to go straight to the most extreme option possible.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: The reason Shino wants Saki and Naoya to be together is because she is in love with Naoya herself, and she won't be able to give up if there is even a small chance Naoya could accept her.
* StalkerWithACrush: Rika at first was just mildly interested in Naoya for the fact he was in a threesome relationship, but she quickly fell head over heels for him. Unfortunately Naoya soundly rejected her, but Rika isn't one to take no for an answer.
* StupidSexyFlanders: Saki is very afraid that Naoya might find Nagisa to be more attractive than her. One of the main reasons behind that fear is that Nagisa is so cute, even ''Saki'' feels attracted, so how can Naoya not be?
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Rika hides the key to the handcuffs she has locked both herself and Naoya in down her chest. It doesn't stop him from reaching in and grabbing it.
