Going from a Harem romcom to...a Sentai manga? Okay.

I'm kind of surprised Pink is seemingly the only girl.

On the one hand, this sounds awesome. On the other hand, QQ ended so poorly I’ve sworn off reading any series that hasn’t already ended.

When Sentai is adapted into Power Rangers, they usually add another girl to the team, usually yellow so it's not inaccurate to think there should be two girls on the team,

Really? I thought the ending was fine.
My best girl didn't win but I still think the author did a decent job in justifying the chosen girl and tying all loose ends

And two girls became more common for Sentai too.

But I also just assumed coming off a Harem Romcom that he'd include more female characters.

From the most popular shonen romance manga of the 2010s to a sentai series. Very curious to see if he's versatile enough to pull that off.

It's not how it's always been, but this has been the case for a lot of the series.

And this is Sentai here, not Power Rangers. And next year will be the first time they've changed a rangers' gender since 2001, and it's only happened five times out of like over twenty anyway.

Five of the last six yellow rangers have been male in Sentai anyway.

For anyone familiar with sentai, this isn't surprising or weird at all.
