** Rika continually comes up with (often illegal) schemes to break up the relationship and steal Naoya herself, only to fail spectacularly. As a result she tends to be either hated for being an obnoxious homewrecker or thought to be downright hilarious for her constant embarrassing failures.

** Heck, even Saki doesn't escape from this. While there are quite a few fans that sympathize with her for her anger over the whole thing, there's also a number of fans who believe that her hair-trigger violent reactions to everything and her using her sexual curiosity to justify not dropping out of the relationship altogether add to the problem. It's also made clear multiple times by Naoya that he would stop if Saki committed to a firm "no", but at the same time it makes ''both'' of them unsympathetic because he's putting responsibility for his actions in her hands, and she could end this nonsense any time she wants but won't.

It should however be noted that Saki says multiple times that she wants the arrangement to work and for her to get past her insecurities regarding it, rather than end it.

* IdiotPlot: [[TropesAreTools Done completely intentionally for the work's role as a]] DeconstructiveParody. Our protagonist, Naoya Mukai, is already in a happy relationship with his ChildhoodFriend, Saki Saki, and he couldn't want for more. One day however, he's confessed to by Nagisa Minase, a cute and attractive NiceGirl [[SupremeChef with great cooking skills]], and instead of turning her down gently and continuing on with his life, [[InsaneTrollLogic he rationalizes that since he finds both Saki and Nagisa attractive, he's obligated to two-time the both of them and keep them both happy]], with Saki's permission of course. Instead of losing interest and dumping him over this, both girls actually decide to go along with it, Nagisa because she figures she won't get another chance with him otherwise, and Saki due to peer pressure from the other two and because [[AmbiguouslyBi she may or may not]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer be attracted to Nagisa as well]]. And then you got two other girls, [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim both knowing about the two-timing]], falling for him as well, and one of them is the OnlySaneWoman.

*** The reason he's pursuing the two-timing relationship is because he wants both girls to be happy, not wanting to turn down Nagise after all the hard work and effort she put into becoming the perfect girlfriend and confessing to him, yet also not wanting to break up with Saki as a result of accepting the confession, [[TakeAThirdOption so he decides that going out with both is the next best thing]], since no one gets hurt that way. To some though, his logic comes off as more childish and selfish than anything, seeing as he's effectively forcing two girls to go out with him, putting them at the risk of suffering severe social stigma in the process and making them {{Insecure Love Interest}}s, just so he doesn't have to make a difficult decision.

* TheWoobie: ​Saki arguably has it the worst out of all the girls. At the start of the series, she's in a happy (if eccentric) relationship with her ChildhoodFriend Naoya and, in spite of his oddities, is very much in love with him. Then one day, completely out of the blue, Naoya approaches her with a girl named Minase, who's [[NiceGirl nice, sweet]], [[BuxomIsBetter has a more curvaceous body]], and is a SupremeChef, and says he wants to date the both of them. After getting understandably upset by this, she's effectively given a MortonsFork to either go along with the two-timing relationship or dump Naoya and let him be with Nagise, and is effectively peer pressured into going with the former (which her friend Shino states is something that's easy to do with enough persistence). And then when the relationship starts and the three of them move in together, she becomes a major InsecureLoveInterest over a sense of inadequacy towards Minase and the fact that she doesn't do anything to help around the house, not helped by all her attempts at doing so ending in {{Epic Fail}}ure, to the point that she resorts to BeAWhoreToGetYourMan only for Naoya, out of a sense of fairness towards Minase, to turn down her advances, [[TenMinuteRetirement causing her to briefly drop out of the relationship and go back to her house]]. [[spoiler:That's to say nothing of when Shino starts regularly interacting with Naoya, as she's hurt when she thinks her best friend might desire to get with Naoya too but places so much trust in her that she sincerely hopes it'll never happen.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Naoya. Is he really the [[IdiotHero completely idiotic]] {{Determinator}} we see him as? Is he actually a more toxic CovertPervert who's ObfuscatingStupidity and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] Saki, Minase and the other {{Love Interest}}s to live out some harem fantasy? Or is he actually not actually that dumb, but has a bad tendency to [[DidntThinkThisThrough jump to the first idea he thinks up in a panic and]] [[IMeantToDoThat goes all the way with it in a vain effort to not look like an idiot]]?



* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** Naoya constantly claims to be pursuing the two-timing relationship with the intent of making both Saki and Minase happy, and while he is unintentionally making them both {{Insecure Love Interest}}s, we're supposed to believe that he has the best of intentions and is sincere in his desire to make both girls happy. That being said, it's hard not to see Naoya as displaying blatant favoritism towards Minase; he starts the whole relationship to accommodate her while effectively forcing Saki to go along with it, is hinted multiple to find her more physically attractive, not helping Saki's insecurities any, compromises his insane honesty-based morals to protect Minase from Saki's potential wrath when he discovers her searching through Saki's phone, and not once does it occur to him during Saki's constant attempts to prove useful in the relationship and eventually trying to have sex with him that she's in any way hurt by his actions.
** Some also see Minase in this light. While she [[InsecureLoveInterest doesn't come out of entering the relationship unscathed, with her own issues and insecurities]], it can be hard hard not to see her as either [[DidntThinkThisThrough someone suffering the consequence of her decision to go along with a two-timing relationship]], or a blatant homewrecker who, like Naoya, is forcing Saki into the relationship so she can be happy.

** Naoya ends up being this in ''spades''. He's an otherwise earnest and NiceGuy who wants what's best for those he cares about, but his jaw-dropping stupidity, [[ObliviouslyEvil tendency to unknowingly hurt the girls with his actions]], and inability to take no for an answer earns him the ire of a good portion of the fandom.
*** The reason he's pursuing the two-timing relationship is because he wants both girls to be happy, not wanting to turn down Nagise after all the hard work and effort she put into becoming the perfect girlfriend and confessing to him, yet also not wanting to break up with Saki as a result of accepting the confession, [[TakeAThirdOption so he decides that going out with both is the next best thing]], since no one gets hurt that way.

*** His refusal to accept people telling him "no" has always been a point of contention with him, but a good example of this is how he went about asking Saki out. Ever since grade school, he's been persistently and unwaveringly asking Saki out to no avail, but refuses to give up and keeps at it in hopes that she'd finally say yes. To some, this can come off less as earnest and more {{Yandere}}ish, seeing as he's refusing to take no for answer or give her some space when she needs it, like during their entrance exams when she needs to focus. This isn't helped by how we learned from Shino a few chapters ago that Saki [[ExtremeDoormat can be easily peer-pressured into things with enough persistence.]] Plus, the fact that Saki decides to give him a chance only for him to start the two-timing with Minase can make him seem like an UngratefulBastard.

* BrokenBase: How the audience is supposed to see the love situation. Some are fine with it exploring how much of a headache a romcom harem would actually be, but think that Hiroyuki's madcap comedy is not the right approach for it and has to trivialize everything to make it work like it does now. The other half of the fandom enjoy it for the farce it is, and think the people who expected a more nuanced take on harem or the characters [[MST3kMantra are taking the series way too seriously]].

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Naoya has polarizing opinions from audiences, with some viewing him as an absolute stud and an icon of manliness due to his earnestness, directness and uncompromising morality in stating exactly what he wants and doing whatever it takes to get it without dishonesty or deceit, or simply seeing him as entertaining and hilarious because of the silly things he does and [[InsaneTrollLogic the reasons he does them]]. Others see him as a manipulative, childish and selfish scumbag who is basically forcing Saki into a polyamorous relationship that she does not want and has no power over. Naoya also will ''not'' take no for an answer, becoming extremely persistent at getting what he wants the more someone denies him. While he has never been shown to be deceitful or verbally abusive, he does repeatedly ignore his girlfriend(s) outright ''begging'' him not to do something they don't want, or go into extreme bargaining and self-destructive behavior that makes people who care about him have to concede or watch him literally kill himself trying to convince them. In any comment section, you will find a mix of people who are either calling Naoya an "absolute chad" or "toxic scumbag", whether or not they like the show on other merits.

And then when the relationship starts and the three of them move in together, she becomes a major InsecureLoveInterest over a sense of inadequacy towards Minase and the fact that she doesn't do anything to help around the house, not helped by all her attempts at doing so ending in {{Epic Fail}}ure, to the point that she resorts to BeAWhoreToGetYourMan only for Naoya, out of a sense of fairness towards Minase, to turn down her advances, [[TenMinuteRetirement causing her to briefly drop out of the relationship and go back to her house]]

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** Naoya constantly claims to be pursuing the two-timing relationship with the intent of making both Saki and Minase happy, and while he is unintentionally making them both {{Insecure Love Interest}}s, we're supposed to believe that he has the best of intentions and is sincere in his desire to make both girls happy. That being said, it's hard not to see Naoya as displaying blatant favouritism towards Minase; he starts the whole relationship to accommodate her while effectively forcing Saki to go along with it, is hinted multiple to find her more physically attractive, not helping Saki's insecurities any, compromises his insane honesty-based morals to protect Minase from Saki's potential wrath when he discovers her searching through Saki's phone, and not once does it occur to him during Saki's constant attempts to prove useful in the relationship and eventually trying to have sex with him that she's in any way hurt by his actions.
** Some also see Minase in this light. While she [[InsecureLoveInterest doesn't come out of entering the relationship unscathed, with her own issues and insecurities]], it can be hard hard not to see her as either [[DidntThinkThisThrough someone suffering the consequence of her decision to go along with a two-timing relationship]], or a blatant homewrecker who, like Naoya, is forcing Saki into the relationship so she can be happy.

* TheWoobie: ​Saki arguably has it the worst out of all the girls. At the start of the series, she's in a happy (if eccentric) relationship with her ChildhoodFriend Naoya and, in spite of his oddities, is very much in love with him. Then one day, completely out of the blue, Naoya approaches her with a girl named Minase, who's [[NiceGirl nice, sweet]], [[BuxomIsBetter has a more curvaceous body]], and is a SupremeChef, and says he wants to date the both of them.

* IdiotPlot: [[TropesAreTools Done completely intentionally for it's role as a]] DeconstructiveParody. Our protagonist, Naoya Mukai, is already in a happy relationship with his ChildhoodFriend, Saki Saki, and he couldn't want for more. One day however, he's confessed to by Nagisa Minase, a cute and attractive NiceGirl [[SupremeChef with great cooking skills]], and instead of turning her down gently and continuing on with his life, [[InsaneTrollLogic he rationalizes that since he finds both Saki and Nagisa attractive, he's obligated to two-time the both of them and keep them both happy]], with Saki's permission of course. Instead of losing interest and dumping him over this, both girls actually decide to go along with it, Nagisa because she figures she won't get another chance with him otherwise, and Saki due to peer pressure from the other two and because [[AmbiguouslyBi she may or may not]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer be attracted to Nagisa as well]]. And then you got two other girls, [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim both knowing about the two-timing]], falling for him as well, and one of them is the OnlySaneWoman.

* SpiritualAntithesis: To a manga that started getting serialized right alongside it, ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou''. Both are wacky gag-based harem romantic comedy manga, both have devoted and straightforward male leads, both have everyone admit that what they're doing would be considered cheating in any other relationship, and both have the girls try to make the relationship work as the harem grows. However, there are key differences; while the attraction is supernatural in 100 Kanojo, everyone is genuinely in love and they are willing to make friends with the rest of the harem, eventually piling up into a family dynamic. Rentarou also has energy to spare so his girlfriends never have to feel like they're left out of the loop. In contrast, Kanojo Mo Kanojo has the love happen naturally, but it focuses on the problems with a harem; that the girlfriends he has do in fact want to monopolize their man's attention even if they like the other girls, and explores what happens if a haremette wants him all to herself or when he can't keep up with their needs and his own selfishness. The harem is also much smaller and he only intends on dating two of them.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Naoya has polarizing opinions from audiences, with some viewing him as an absolute stud and an icon of manliness due to his earnestness, directness and uncompromising morality in stating exactly what he wants and doing whatever it takes to get it without dishonesty or deceit. Others see him as a manipulative, childish and selfish scumbag that's thinking with the "wrong head" and is basically forcing Saki into a polygamous relationship that she does not want and has no power over. Saki herself calls out these exact issues; while she reluctantly admits to being [[StupidSexyFlanders attracted to Nagisa herself]], the fact that Nagisa is so devoted to loving Naoya means that no matter what, Saki "loses" -- either giving her boyfriend to another girl or letting him have his way with a three-way relationship. Naoya's response is that he will "make both women glad he's dating both", which still gives him exactly what he wants. Naoya also will ''not'' take no for an answer, becoming extremely persistent at getting what he wants. While he has never been shown to be deceitful or verbally abusive, he does repeatedly ignore his girlfriend(s) outright ''begging'' him not to do something they don't want, or go into extreme bargaining and self-destructive behavior that makes people who care about him have to concede or watch him literally kill himself trying to convince them. In any comment section, you will find a mix of people who are either calling Naoya an "absolute chad" or "toxic scumbag", whether or not they like the show on other merits.

In any comment section, you will find a mix of people who are either calling Naoya an "absolute chad" or "toxic scumbag", whether or not they like the show on other merits.

* IdiotPlot: [[TropesAreTools Done completely intentionally for it's role as a]] DeconstructiveParody. Our protagonist, Naoya Mukai, is already in a happy relationship with his ChildhoodFriend, Saki Saki, and he couldn't want for more. One day however, he's confessed to by Nagisa Minase, a cute and attractive NiceGirl [[SupremeChef with great cooking skills]], and instead of turning her down gently and continuing on with his life, [[InsaneTrollLogic he rationalizes that since he finds both Saki and Nagisa attractive, he's obligated to two-time the both of them and keep them both happy]], with Saki's permission of course. Instead of losing interest and dumping him over this, both girls actually decide to go along with it, Nagisa because she figures she won't get another chance with him otherwise, and Saki due to peer pressure from the other two and because [[AmbiguouslyBi she may or may not]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer be attracted to Nagisa as well]]. And then you got two other girls, [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim both knowing about the two-timing]], falling for him as well.

* SpiritualAntithesis: To a manga that started getting serialized right alongside it, ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou''. Both are wacky gag-based harem romantic comedy manga, both have devoted and straightforward male leads, both have everyone admit that what they're doing would be considered cheating in any other relationship, and both have the girls try to make the relationship work as the harem grows. However, there are key differences; while the attraction is supernatural in 100 Kanojo, everyone is genuinely in love and they are willing to make friends with the rest of the harem, eventually piling up into a family dynamic. Rentarou also has energy to spare so his girlfriends never have to feel like they're left out of the loop. In contrast, Kanojo Mo Kanojo has the love happen naturally, but it focuses on the problems with a harem; that the girlfriends he has do in fact want to monopolize their man's attention even if they like the other girls, and explores what happens if a haremette wants him all to herself or when he can't keep up with their needs and his own selfishness. The harem is also much smaller and he only intends on dating two of them.
