tl;dr: A character focused story with an interesting premise but all terrible main characters.
The general premise on this is pretty interesting, which can be summed up as a strange relationship triangle that involves a guy being pursued by a yandere girl who herself is being pursued by another yandere girl. That is enough to have most of the beginning of the manga where things get setup seem interesting and it also allowed for some good moments and scenes throughout. However, beyond that, in terms of the finer details of what was done with the setup and where things went, the implementation was pretty terrible.
The biggest
...
issue is that all three of the main characters are awful. The protagonist is supposed to be smart and cold at first, but he just suddenly stops being so when the plot requires it. It’s attempted to be explained away as character development, but it's so rushed that it just feels really random and makes him feel inconsistent. Similarly, the relationship development he’s involved with also feels rushed to the point of being random and it doesn’t feel right how invested the protagonist ends up in the relationship. As a result, his actions feel more and more inconsistent as the plot goes on as the character the author intends for him to be and the character that the reader has in their minds end up diverging. Heck, even taking into account what the author intended, some actions still don’t make sense. Thus, it’s really hard to stay invested in his story.
The other two main characters also feel kind of random and inconsistent, but they’re yandere, so that isn’t as much of a problem for them as they’re supposed to be crazy and hard for normal people to understand. The issue with them though is that they’re both terrible yanderes, who even I whom am generally fond of yandere’s in fiction ended up disliking completely. The trait in yandere’s that’s supposed to make them likable and not just crazy villains is the extreme love aspect, the extreme dedication and loyalty, but neither of the yandere in this were shown to have any of that. Rather, their dedication and loyalty actually seems to be really lacking. Thus, the main characters overall were lacking tremendously.
Beyond that there were various side characters that had minimal importance and felt like they weren’t used very effectively, a plot that was badly paced, and an ending that felt kind of absurd in how unsatisfying it was. The art was pretty good though.
