Well someone has to lose because I personally enjoy the drama and the crushing feelings that come with it, it has nothing to do with a preference towards monogamy or polyamory in my case.
And even if this manga does end in poly so far it's not doing a decent job at portraying it in a respectful and considerate manner, let's be honest. Also as of now Sayo is not into Rinna and despite that accidental kiss and her internal turmoil she's still full Mei only, in contrast to Rinna who seems to have other little arrows here and there.
If suffering is just how you prefer it, that's valid.
And with how uncommon representation is right now, I'd rather have clumsy or imperfect attempts at representation than nothing at all.
Also, not to be a broken record, but a v-shaped relationship is still poly. It is very common in real life for members of a polycule to not date each other despite sharing partners.
Honestly, I'd love to see more work depict the poly experience of thinking your partner is super cute when they gush and panic over a new crush, or how cute their dynamic with another partner is, etc. Every relationship is unique and gets to be cherished and given its time. It's one of the best parts of being poly.
