I don't quite get how these days every every garden-variety love triangle seems to bring out a bunch of poly shippers, no matter how tenuous the narrative possibility might be
I feel like those words could be said of anytime people ship two female characters in a non F/F work no?
kinda like "why does everytime two female characters interact a bunch of f/f shippers seem to show up regardless of the actual narrative" or something like that.
like, at the end of the day shipping can be as simple as "I like the idea of these characters together" or "I like the idea of this kind of relationship"
so in the case of love triangle works attracting poly shippers, well you already have multiple characters involved in romantic setting, so the idea of the characters working out things all together seems like a simple step for those who want to see that kind of relationships.
On a personal opinion about this manga, I am on the camp that would have liked a poly development, since the characters did have a good chemistry together, and it just didn't feel like the kind of story that had me rooting for one side over the other.
Funny or sad, I also think this manga had managed a better ground up for a poly relationship than say "An introduction to love triangles" or "Luminous=Blue".
In the former, one side of the triangle was way better developed than the other two sides involving the third character in my opinion (like if that was a non-poly love triangle I would have been rooting for the Kohai way over the friend).
And in the latter it just had to shot directly towards its ending even if the ground up wasn't there yet.
On that subject, regardless of Poly or not, this last update did feel like it was steeping on the gas towards the finish line...
to finish, people will ship what they like and that's that, and damn it why do Yuri manga get cut short so often :<
