I've stepped onto a new frontier in pining. Pining for someone while you're in them, while the one you're doing is romantically in love with your co-dependent partner...... wooooowwwwww.....
This is incredible. Moe from beyond outer space.
A++++.
This is an unhealthy polysexual relationship, [s]but the author doesn't seem to understand that healthy polyromantic relationships actually exist[/s].
Edit: They become a healthier poly relationship later. smile Though it's just Hiroi and Mine that are lovers. Mine and Take's relationship is much more interesting though..

I only came to read it just for the threesome but there's something to it that drawn me further. When it comes to the sex scene i don't even feel hot or horny or something, it's just sadness. Idk there's nothing to be sad of but the way the mangaka wrote the pov of the three there's a sudden squeeze to my heart, i feel sad, i feel devastated and silently wishing for them to stop. Mine clearly love hiroi and hiroi feels the same, and take likes mine too but can't have him all. When take has His Pov i felt really hurt for him, i got this feeling that he's surpressing his feelings for the sake of Hiroi i nearly cried because of that. Idk if i'm making sense but i really wish for take and mine to be together but on the other side i'm feeling sorry for Hiroi so i just brushed off that wishful thinking. I hope that the mangaka write an extra about them having a very good ending where there is no one who is hurting.

We all know that this is new and actually really good take on yaoi. It's great that there's a different side to loving someone and sharing them... BUT let's be honest. WE ALL WANT MINE AND TAKE TO END UP TOGETHER.... ONLY THEMSLEVES. I hope Hiroi finds a new lover and Take won't be able to separate from Mine, coupling them together!!! Sorry Hiroi!

Too bad it involved rape scenes

Well, I like polyamorous relationships but this one just didn't feel right. The way it began (and continued) with Mine just feels like a rape and it was more uncomfortable than sexy or anything. No means no.

And Hiroi just seems to be an egoistic brat that has absolutely no consideration whatsoever for the people surrounding him.
Mine and Take have their cute sides.

A mess of emotions!

This is one of those that others opinion mean nothing. You may hate the relationship one chapter, get all horny on another, or just plain love it all!
Personally I didn't like Mine at first, thought he was the interloper. But soon I was experiencing Take's emotions, and i started to realize I'm just as messed up because I was VERY satisfied with the end.
I recommend reading the DJs too because it explains so much more about their daily lives, also we get closure for those who want to know what happened after.
Glad I was able to understand what sensei was trying to show in this story.

Interesting relationship

When I first read this manga, I didn't really like it. I'm not a fan of polyamory relationships. But when I re-read it some time later, I found myself liking it instead. The reason I didn't like it was because I ended up rooting for only two of them. When I had rid myself of those thoughts I started thinking deeper about their relationship and came to like it as it is - as three people together and not just two.
If you want to enjoy this manga, you'll have to accept their relationship as it is. Or else, you'll be disappointed. If you dislike polyamory relationships in the first place, the risk is high that you will not enjoy this manga.

There are things I do not like about this manga too, such as
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
the way Mine got involved in the whole relationship between Take and Hiroi, it was kind of forced (not completely, since Mine decided to be with them himself) so it left a bad taste in my mouth. Also the almost forced double penetration, but at least Hiroi apologized about it later.


Another weakness it has is its conclusion. It doesn't feel completely resolved (or satisfying for that matter).

I definitely think this is a good read. The best part of it is their interesting relationship. If you like polyamory, smut (with threesomes) and unusual BL, you'll probably enjoy it. Just don't end up rooting for two of them.

I recommend reading psychedelics after this if you want to understand their relationship better, as the mangaka herself explained it better there. And the drama cd is also godly, so listen to it.

It's hard to find a manga with a good polyamorous relationship, but this one passed. I'm glad it worked out for the characters (unlike in most manga). Yes, polyamorous relationships exist, and yes they do work for many people. You can love more than one person.
I also like how the author made Take and Hiroi's relationship: when it comes to relationships, there is no black and white or guide on what/how you should be with another (an understanding that comes with age, hopefully). It was refreshing to see a mangaka portray this.
All in all, this manga handled relationships in a surprisingly mature way from what I was expecting (it was my first experience with this author), and I look forward to sensei's future works.

theres a lot of fluids transfer in this manga, and done so sexily you cant help but feel hot and bothered reading it. the story is also good, a perfect vehicle for threesome without too much breaking reality. art is top notch, a great manga for your stimulating pleasure.

Messed up

It's a very messed up and dark plot with beautiful art that just works great together. I enjoyed this manga a lot but felt like it had an axed ending or no ending, I guess what the author was getting at was that all three of them were loved equally which is good I guess. It was very sensual which I liked !

I'm also against threesomes, but since it has a nice rating I ended up reading it. It really has a good plot and good flow and yea, as a lot of people were saying, its ending was vague.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I also REALLY hoped that this would end with just a COUPLE, but no. They lived "happily" ever after.

I SERIOUSLY WANT HIROI OUT OF THIS. No, I don't hate him. I like him to be honest, but I'm soooooooooooo into Take x Mine that I just want to push him away and let Take and Mine have their own lovey-dovey time. I SHIP THEM SOOOO BAD!!! I just wish Hiroi to have somebody else and leave them alone.
-sigh-
WHY PSYCHE DELICO-SENSEI??!
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Why didn't you just end this story with Take and Mine becoming a couple??!

Now I'm sad.
