“The Intriguing Charms of ‘Kanojo mo Kanojo'”
In previous chapters, we introduced the ending of “Kanojo mo Kanojo.” The focus was on who Naoya Mukai would end up dating, but the harem ending surprised many fans. Many say, “‘Kanojo mo Kanojo’ is filled with interesting charms,” and the drama leading up to the final episode has also been a point of interest. In this chapter, we will discuss the intriguing charms of “Kanojo mo Kanojo,” divided into three points, including spoilers.
・Intriguing Charm 1: The Likeable Protagonist Many fans first mention the protagonist, Naoya Mukai, as one of the amusing aspects of “Kanojo mo Kanojo.” Naoya is portrayed as a serious character, an honest person to the point of being foolish. This led him to propose a love triangle out of sincerity when he was confessed to by Nagisa Minase while dating Saki Saki. Thus, it becomes clear that he is not indecisive but rather too honest, leading him to take bold actions.
Harem protagonists are often criticized for being indecisive, resulting in less fan appeal. However, the development of Naoya engaging in a multiple relationship is unique, and he often receives support. His serious nature ultimately leads to a quadruple relationship, making his character one of the entertaining aspects of “Kanojo mo Kanojo.”
・Intriguing Charm 2: The Adorable Heroines

The four heroines, Saki, Nagisa, Rika, and Shino, are all appreciated for being cute, each with distinct looks and personalities. Many fans and readers comment that “the individuality of the heroines is striking, and there’s likely someone who resonates with each reader.” The animation and voice acting in the TV anime version have further enhanced their appeal.
・Intriguing Charm 3: Straightforward Romantic Comedy The style of “Kanojo mo Kanojo” is another aspect frequently mentioned by readers as an intriguing charm. Although classified as a romantic comedy manga, it has a comedy element so strong that it is often mistaken for a gag manga. Despite typically involving some drama in stories about multiple relationships, “Kanojo mo Kanojo” maintains a light-hearted and clear storyline, continuing to attract many fans.
