lame, very obvious it was rushed so probably axed....

good start, downhill afterwards, like most harem... 6/10

I don't know what to make of the ending.

I knew Kuro would end up being the one Chiaki confesses to, but out of the 3 Cerberus girls, I feel she's had the least development, with her only hurdle (from what I can recall) being coming to terms with what love is, and what will make Chiaki happy (the whole Hinata conflict earlier in the series).

Hinata stood more of a chance than Minnie, but neither stood any real chance against the Cerberus girls.

Shirogane was my favourite of the 3, and her confession, minus the rejection, was a nice mix of comedy and seriousness. Her struggle was admitting to herself she could like Chiaki at all, as she knew how much he meant to Roze, who Shirogane prioritized protecting over herself. Eventually, Roze tells her it's okay for her to think of herself and love Chiaki too, and as much as she won't admit it to herself, she builds up enough confidence to confess she loves him. After getting rejected, she says "... It's good you don't like me back, 'cos if she ever cried on my account that'd hurt", but it's unclear if she meant Roze, Kuro, or even both of them.

Roze was the one with the most development. Her mask basically symbolized her punishment for biting Chiaki, she saw it is as a reason they couldn't be together. After his soul is fixed, she is able to remove it and confess to Chiaki how she really feels... Seeing her get rejected was heartbreaking, and her response is accepting how she could never measure up to Kuro despite how much she's grown as a person.

After Kuro miraculously appears, she reveals she's human now, and all the girls rally up and shrug off their rejections anyway, Minnie even saying "Nothing from today counts", and Haru saying he should pick someone by graduation.

It seems the extra chapter will continue from the ending (at some sort of festival), but whether it will be a more suitable ending, who knows.

In a situation in which the manga could have ended with the golden harem ending, the author opts for a generic single girl ending.
How the hell does this work? Cerberus is one being, rejecting two of its heads means you are literally rejecting 2/3's of it. Even though they were split, it was still a situation in which he could have chosen all of them, and he opted not to.

There's an extra chapter? I doubt it'll give more suitable ending..
