* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: A kind of platonic version, at least as platonic as possible between AmbiguouslyBi characters can be, happens in Chapter 129, [[spoiler: after Nagisa and Shino reveal that if Saki really can't come to be happy with the two timing they will break up with Naoya, this causes Saki to have a breakdown as while she really does not like the feeling that she will never be Naoya's number one she loves Nagisa and Shino to much to want them to give up their happiness for her.]]

** Naoya is determined to make both girls happy even with all those difficulties, but his methods trying to achieve that tend to make a mockery of a little thing called "common sense". As such, Naoya's reasons for his stances - being okay with two-timing but not three(-or-above)-timing, not wanting to turn down Nagisa even though Saki was his girlfriend, etc - are often regarded as just plain paradoxical at first, yet any attempts to make him see reason frequently run headlong into metaphorical walls.

** Every person who eventually learns about the poly relationship never thinks of Naoya as lucky or the girls as sweet--they think everyone involved is a crazy idiot: Naoya for two-timing, the girls for ''letting'' him, and any other hopefuls for falling for a known two-timer. As a side effect, the moment Shino suspects Naoya is two-timing Saki, she admits to having assumed the worst about him (as would be a natural reaction).

** 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, while the girls openly struggle with simultaneously wanting to do more yet also be considerate of the other (even when their desires are anything but).

* DeconstructiveParody: Naoya's [[HaremGenre 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, while the girls openly struggle with simultaneously wanting to do more yet also be considerate of the other (even when their desires are anything but). At the same time, Naoya is determined to make both girls happy even with all those difficulties, but his methods trying to achieve that tend to make a mockery of a little thing called "common sense". And above all else, every person who eventually learns about the poly relationship never thinks 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 other hopefuls idiots for falling for a known two-timer.

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.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: A platonic-''[[AmbiguouslyBi ish]]'' version of the trope pops up between Saki and Nagisa, neither is perfectly okay with the two-timing but as they grow closer as friends they get more and more okay with the idea to the point they will happily help each other out with getting closer with Naoya. That said it is with each other alone they are okay with for anyone else they are very much a ClingyJealousGirl.

* DeconstructiveParody: Naoya's [[HaremGenre 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.

* MeetTheInLaws: 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 dating Saki and Nagisa, but they haven't even considered Mirika and Shino as official girlfriends (yet).

* {{Polyamory}}: This is a HaremGenre series that plays the "harem" part more literally than usual, as the story is about Naoya basically starting a polyamorous relationship with Saki Saki and Nagisa Minase. Since he doesn't want to hurt either girl, he figures the perfect "solution" is to make both girls happy by dating both of them at the same time. It's implied that Mirika and Shino will ''also'' join the arrangement at some point, though until then Mirika is primarily aiming to steal Naoya away from all of them to have him to herself, and Shino is driven by IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy to end the polyamory so he'll only be with Saki, [[spoiler:until she finally confesses her feelings and decides she wants to be part of the relationship herself]].

* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: A distraught Saki delivers one to Naoya after he returns from being stranded on a deserted island overnight, after thinking he may have drowned. It is that finally convinces Shino that Saki truly does love him.]]

* BuxomBeautyStandard: Part of Rika's popularity of [=MeTube=] is her large chest and how her videos serve to emphasize it.

* 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.
** Shino even moreso, as despite her wholesome image (unlike Saki whose attempts to cover her perversions are rather obvious), she is the most willing of the girls to get naked and make advances on Naoya when alone. She also asked to watch Naoya and Saki having sex while drunk.

* BuxomIsBetter: Part of Rika's popularity of [=MeTube=] is her large chest and how her videos serve to emphasize it.

* RelationshipUpgrade: In Chapter 131, [[spoiler:Shino finally becomes Naoya’s girlfriend and the relationship expands to three-timing]].

!!This manga contains examples of:

* PseudoRomanticFriendship: Though Saki regularly reminds Nagisa that they are rivals, she can't help but eventually come to love the latter like a little sister due to how kind and selfless she is in supporting ''her'' relationship with Naoya, and Nagisa for her part has always looked up to Saki as kind of strong confident woman she aspires to be. Ironically, their sisterly love for each other gradually becomes a healthier relationship than Naoya's forced love triangle that caused it to start.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: A kind of platonic version, at least as platonic as possible between AmbiguouslyBi characters can be, happens in in Chapter 129, [[spoiler: after Nagisa and Shino reveal that if Saki really can't come to be happy with the two timing they will break up with Naoya, this causes Saki to have a breakdown as while she really does not like the feeling that she will never be Naoya's number one she loves Nagisa and Shino to much to want them to give up their happiness for her.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: One of Saki's biggest issues with the two-timing is how she will be perceived by society. She agonizes about this for some time until she finally can't handle the secrecy anymore and confesses to the entire class, only to be quickly told that nobody cares about what they do with their love life as long as Saki is okay with it, which she had said she more or less was.

** As Rika learn the hard way from Shino, Video Game Streamers don't make that much to make a living. Especially since their career depends on their popularity and not to mention taxes will remove a major part of their income.
