Sad to see it go, but ending it within a few chapters will make for a manga that almost never dragged and stayed fun throughout.

I definitely hope a physical release for the manga comes soon. Very excited about season 2.

I hope it ends well but I can't help but wonder what madness Hiroyuki will come up with next.

That might be a lot to ask. The first season only adapted about 4 volumes or so.
Based on this article, the series will likely conclude with the 16th volume.

If season 2 is just another single cour series, I doubt it'll reach the end. It could maybe make it if it skips a lot, but the later volumes of this series tend to feature more extended multi-chapter storylines, so it's harder to trim... :/

Maybe we'll luck out and they could do a third season to complete the series? They would have to skip some stuff but at least don't leave the series hanging like so many others have without finishing it.

Really not a fan that last third of the series is just full of overblown drama and little to no comedy and romantic shenanigan's (which is the main appeal). Considering manga is ending soon it feels more of wasted opportunity, especially when many readers wanted to see couple doing stuff more instead of more dragged dramatic arc. It's not bad, but it could have been much better. Well, at least we always have 100 kanojo to carry true harem/polycute genre.

Currently reading the manga and while it’s always going to be a goofy comedy I am surprised at how sincerely it handles a polyamorous relationship. The Shino arc was actually touching. It explained the feeling of loving more than one person so well that I really do respect the characters and their choices.

Of what I read and watch, this series was a laugh riot, hopefully we can see the whole thing animated =)

or adapting what's important more to be adapted and leaving what isn't necessary which is the best option.

I'm honestly so surprise at how faithful the fans are with this manga. I enjoyed the anime but thought a lot of people put it down and disregarded it. Might pick up the manga now

That was a solid ending and a solid series as a whole.
