To start with, the most anime opening I've ever read. I had a bit of whiplash from the sheer number of anime tropes I recognized in the first few pages (having watched most of Darling in the Franxx was a mixed blessing here). After the initial shock of "that's allowed on paper?", I surrendered to the story and hoooooo boy that was a ride.
As a person in a healthy poly relationship, seeing that sort of relationship in media is lovely. Even when 1/3 is the delightful boyfriend who greets the other 2/3s with baked goods when they're done torturing a man to death. I was a little worried towards the end, before the Sequel Hook dropped. Disappointment turned immediately into deep concern. With the sequel hook came confirmation of many theories I had, which is always a good sign—a cohesive narrative rewards theorizing.
Overall, recommended. I'm still reeling.
