Most of all though, I respect that the author actually went for a poly relationship rather than having just Mai be the end game and that the series doesn't just end after they (all) get together.
Hangry GF is an incredibly relatable and solid note to start this season on...13 episodes and 7 girlfriends later, my love for this series has only grown as it's becoming nothing but funnier, hornier, and cuter
