The "lesbian schoolgirl polygamists" manga. As seen on iichan's lesbian imageboard.

Thoughts?

Personally it was fine and things were looking up until the mangaka decided to invoke the Mahoro Complex in the last chapter of the third volume. That alone killed it for me.

By coincidence or not the scriptwriter is Akahori Satoru, of Sakura Taisen fame, and his nickname is "Polylin"...

I have no clue what you mean by Mahoro complex (and I skipped reading it on the thread on iichan, thanks for the spoiler warning) but I like the manga so far. It is utterly contrived and clichéd but it is still entertaining for me.

It's entertaining because it's three young schoolgirls in love! And so in your pathetic nothingness of life, you invision yourself in the place of Hazumu, with the tyranny of choice. The drama, the love, the emotions! With nobody in your life, you proceed to attach yourselves to the characters, thinking you're actually them, until you finally step back and realize it's just a comic, and they don't exist.

Drama comics with idealistic tendencies tend to do this. All subconciously, too. Thats why you feel anxious when something bad happens. Thats why you feel fear when a character cries. Because through it all, the idealism seems so real and beautiful. It's an escape. Reality is a desolate place where dreams are killed every second. Stories where happiness lasts forever seduce us and make us feel better. It's like an intellectual drug.

Kashimashi was released by Seven Seas Entertainment, and they actually did a decent job with it.
I really like the art, though the story is entertaining to me as well.

I'd rather Hazumu get with Tomari than Yasuna. =P
