Hmm một mối quan hệ 3p... Thực ra ban đầu mình đọc cũng không thích lắm, nhưng sau này đọc lại thì càng thích Take😍. Mấy cảnh kia thì HOT khỏi bàn rồi.



Yep, Hiroi xinh như thiên thần, nhưng mình chỉ muốn mỗi Take và Mine thôi. 😒

As much as I hate trio relationship, this story was so f**k up I was into it. Hiroi is a creepy looking guy who likes to share everything with his best friend Take. Including relationships. So when Mine starts to date Hiroi, is either accepting Take or bye-bye. In spite of not liking Take, Mine accepts. So their relationship is Hiroi and Mine kissing and cuddling together, but during sex time, is Take taking Mine while Mine sucks Hiroi. Other than that, Take and Mine glare coldy at each other.

Slowly, Take starts to like Mine, and Mine... well, besides having the most pleasure with Take, starts disliking him "less". They even kiss from time to time. Truthfully, I really wished Hiroi was out of the picture. Not only his "cute" looks are creepy, but his tendency to share his lover is beyodnd f**k-up! I was more invested in Mine and Take relationship, but alas, Mine loves the weirdo and Take knows that if Hiroi is not in the picture, even himself (Take) would lose interest.

So yeah, a f**d-up relationship, not a love one at all, but I could not stop reading it (>o<) Not even the characters are likeable. Honesty, I am not even sure how I finished it or why I am rating it 3, but that's it.

0/10. 0/10. 0/10. 0/10. 0/10. 0/10. 0/10.

(...)

Pensaba que no habia leido nada tan repugnante en mi vida hasta que llegó este tomo. Es el rey de los abusos sexuales y las relaciones jodidamente tóxicas. Son 200 páginas (que no se como soporté) de abusos de todas las formas y colores, uno peor que el anterior. La serie parece que no puede ir a peor y se supera con cada horrible y demoledora página. El abuso sexual, emocional, psicológico está presente en cada página, y la autora NO está denunciando lo triste que es que sucedan estas cosas, no, simplemente se deja llevar cada vez más y más por su lado sádico.

I really liked this manga, as a yaoi. But I'm kinda confused as to whether I like the characters, and their unabashedly weird relationship. On their own I like all the characters, even when they are just paired off. Hiroi x Mine, or Hiroi x Take, and even Mine x Take. But when all three of them get together, it becomes weird. I honestly don't know who to root for, because they are all hurting, with only half of their feelings for each other being returned. I wanted there to be a clear pair to pick, that the readers of this manga could freely say, "Oh I want them to be together," but I cant even decide that for myself. I like it but I am very confused. Probably because they are all perfect representations of how guys are. Oh well, hopefully there is more, so that readers are able to glean a little more clarity.

This is the first yaoi, that really commit to a threesome relationship. Choco, Strawberry, Vanilla is original in this sense and I am excited for more if there is any.

This story is unusual for ReiJin magazine. It's an interesting view on polyamory. Unfortunately, there is not enough of a story for it to be truly memorable. Art is OK, not amazingly good. Smut galore, but again, no real gems to talk about.

That was delicious. I am so glad I decided to read this. I'm not one to read threesome stories, but this one was DELISH. The relationship between the three MCs is not one of love per se, but it is addicting to watch unfold as the chapters progress. Abusive at times, tender at others, twisted throughout.

I totally get Hiroi's need to "share" his things with his best friend Take, although I can understand why other people don't. That's actually the most fascinating part of this story, the relationship between Hiroi and Take. How they see themselves and how they see themselves fitting into the world and WHY this sort of relationship and behavior for them is natural. Also like parasitic or even conjoined twins, except in verse. They almost share one mind while inhabiting two bodies and somehow navigating through life in this manner. For them, "what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours and you are me and I am you" is just their perpetual state of being.

Mine is also a strangely complex character, namely for being able to not only put up with this bizarre relationship, but also for eventually finding his own rhythm in it -- one which he even finds to "dislike less" than he once did (which is actually his tsundere self saying he's lovin' it, freak that he be, bless his soul. <3)

Such great storytelling without getting into too much. Letting us see into each character's mindset, getting to know their very different, but also similar personalities. Seeing how important each one is in different ways and just... UGHHH

This was good. This was SO. GOOD.

All the stars. ALL OF THEM.

Delico Psyche you haven't failed me yet. Another great job!!

PS - For those of you planning to or already giving this a one star rating b/c you were looking for some sappy lovey-dovey shit, go elsewhere. This story has a HEA ending of sorts, but it's not all roses and butterflies and puppy dog tails. There's a reason it's called "CHOCO STRAWBERRY VANILLA." Choco = sadomasochist, Strawberry = Sadist, Vanilla = Masochist. I'll let you all decide who's who in this savagely beautiful throuple.

I've read a couple of threesome stories recently (courtesy of wanting to try something new out), but I just couldn't get into that dynamic. Then this came along. This was the first story I read by Delico Psyche and I really enjoyed it!

The story follows two best friends named Take and Hiroi. Whenever Hiroi finds something that he likes, he always shares with Take, and as they come to grow up, this includes people. Because of this unique quirk, finding a partner is always difficult, as "normal" people find this strange. Not only that, but their partner usually ends up preferring Take between the two, destroying the whole dynamic. All of this changes when Hiroi decides to date Mine, a classmate that he hadn't seen in a long time. Even though Mine finds the setup strange, his love for Hiroi is so great he decides to endure being in this threesome

I just really enjoyed seeing the development of this trio!! You would think that because Take and Hiroi have always shared things and people, there wouldn't be conflict between them but it's actually the opposite. Hiroi has feelings of jealousy, of being overshadowed and preferred by their partners and seems to push at both Take and Mine to see how far he can distance himself from them and damn, it's SO HEARTBREAKING. But exactly like him, Take pushes Mine to see how much he can get away with "stealing". It's like he's testing Mine's feelings for Hiroi, which in turn tests his own interest. And instead of breaking up (any of them), it seems this pushing and pulling ties them even closer together

No lie, I like a rougher top so I liked Take more than Hiroi, who is much softer and cheerful

We also get to see them age together. Not by a lot, but by a few years. I honestly would devour another volume of these three!!

I'm a loser for smutty stuff and I loved this so much.
tbh it was the most memorable threesome manga I have ever seen and I have weird taste in manga. Also it's pretty cool to see a short and feminine guy as a " top/seme ".
The story was pretty original and it was interesting to see something different, I read this from start to finish and thought it was great but wished they made another volume because ending it there was pretty unsatisfying. The two " seme/top " dudes, Hiroi and Take, were very interesting characters who always shared everything together... I've never seen anything like that before but I thought it was cute.

I found it cute ( no really, let me admit it was hot because of the smut ) but I don't think most people would enjoy this manga because of the threesome and weird
characters. FYI, this is not what a real polyamorous relationship is so don't get the wrong idea because the characters are obviously showing jealousy towards each other ( which isn't normal ). True polyamorous relationships contain consent and everyone equally likes each other, which makes it a healthy relationship.

Arrêter les trucs de tarés, le monde partirait moins en couilles! L'histoire n'est pas assez approfondie et les personnages juste tordus juste ça. On peut s'asseoir sur le bien fondé de cette histoire, juste que l'auteure s'est lancée dans ça à l'arrache. C'est tout. Pas de maturité juste de la perversité, juste des gamins qui ont besoin d'une sérieuse thérapie. Arrêtez d'éditer tout et n'importe quoi!

J'ai trouvé le sujet du polyamour extrêmement mal traité ici. À aucun moment les choses ne sont discutées, ce qui est toxique. La relation émotionnelle comme physique semble forcée. Take frappe même Mine à un moment sans que j'ai réussi à comprendre pourquoi, mais tout va bien ??? (pas que Mine se laisse faire, mais bon)

Si vous voulez une histoire pour découvrir le sujet du polyamour, je ne vous recommande pas ce titre.

A throuple manga because one of the seme needs to share his interests and this whole story is surrounding that selfish intention and adjusting to the love.

I like how Take-kun is trying to want things for himself but in the end it didn't end up that way? I wish the story could have continued but it gave what it gave and I'm still pleased with it. The smut scenes are 5/5, I'd reread just for that.

:) abuso abuso abuso :)

Vai se foder que eu realmente me dei ao trabalho de ler o mangá inteiro, sabe-se lá porquê, e é um puta relacionamento tóxico e abuso do início do fim. Entra naquele tipo de decisão que não faz sentido nenhum e que eu gostaria de não ter feito.

I have always loved reading this manga, and I have read it many times.

Every time I read it, I try to find something new, but I always come back to the same realization. This threesome works because the emotional connection isn't equal among the three of them, but it still seems to work (?)

You have Hiroi, who looks very adorable but is sadistic on the inside. Hiroi is also very attached to his friend Take - and not in a romantic way - but mostly in a dependent/emotional way. He always shares his ' treasures' with Take, and that includes relationships; however, he always ends up losing somehow. His relationships always end the same way- they like Take more than Hiroi, which doesn't surprise me because he's a bit pushy, egotistical, yet good? It's very hard to explain. Even when he's the losing party, he doesn't resent Take. He will put Take over anyone else, and that includes relationships. But now he has found someone who likes HIM, not Take, yet he still wishes to share with Take. During the story, he sees how Take and Mine are so connected sexually but not emotionally, so while he still gets to feel like an outsider at times, he knows Mine loves him, not Take, which makes Hiroi the emotional chain in this threesome. I think Hiroi sees being emotionally tied to Mine as higher than Mine being sexually tied to Take, which is why he doesn't mind sharing.

Then we have Take, who understands Hiroi very well and sees his sadistic side yet plays along. Take is not emotional; he does what Hiroi tells him to, and that includes participating in relationships he doesn't really care for. He knows people like him more than Hiroi, and he worries inside, always afraid the time will come when Hiroi's partner will confess to him and, in doing so, it hurts Hiroi. Take has always accepted Hiroi's 'treasures', even the ones he doesn't want to, because he wants to see Hiroi sad, which is funny because he doesn't romantically like Hiroi; I don't think he likes even Mine in a romantic way - just sexually (tho at times I do feel he wishes Mine would be as close with him as he is with Hiroi). So his connection to Hiroi is emotional, but as a friendship of years, and with Mine sexually because they are good together.

Finally, Mine, who I found to be very naive at times. Mine has always liked Hiroi, and even when he's pushed into a relationship he's not completely comfortable with or fully understands - and just goes along with it-, he does so because he loves Hiroi. Mine is connected emotionally to Hiroi and sexually to Take. He enjoys sex with Take more than with Hiroi but is not willing to go above that. He prioritizes Hiroi, which is why this works and they find a balance. He knows Hiroi won't mind if he and Take get together, but he doesn't attempt to even do that - because he wants Hiroi always present. So, in a way, he makes sure Hiroi doesn't feel left out, which is how Hiroi has always felt before during previous relationships.

These three are very chaotic and even toxic at times, but they do manage to find a balance where they work. I don't believe they will be able to separate their lives, feelings, and sexual relationship in the future. It's funny because Hiroi has always felt like an outsider in previous relationships, and sometimes during sex you can see his mind overthinking about Mine and Take liking each other more - he doesn't truly realize (or the author doesn't really show him understanding this) how he's the emotional connection to Take and Mine, and that they both want Hiroi to be happy. So truly, he's the one connecting all three of them to make this work.

I don't know how to explain this; maybe I'm overthinking and have missed a lot of clues in my many reads, but while they are toxic at times, and while Mine is put in a situation where he's not comfortable but learns to understand and accept, I feel there's so much to say about how these three think and behave.

Also, the name is so fitting.

Seperti kebanyakan pengulas di sini (mungkin), awalnya si Gie pun berpikir si Hiroi adalah tokoh paling abnormal di komik ini. Dia entah kenapa selalu--SELALU--ingin membagi apa yang disukainya kepada Take sejak kecil, mulai dari camilan, mainan, barang koleksi, sampai (akhirnya, ketika dewasa) kekasih.
Take bahkan menyebut perilaku Hiroi ini sebagai "wujud kasih sayang yang menyimpang". Tuh, Take sendiri mengakui kalo perilaku selalu-berbagi yang agak maksa dari Hiroi tuh, gak normal!

Tapi lama-kelamaan, seiring perkembangan cerita, saya pikir Take juga 11-12 sama menyimpangnya. Wkwk.
Emang kalo dibandingin Hiroi, sikap menyimpangnya Take gak terlalu keliatan, tapi sikap selalu-menerima-apa-apa-pemberian-Hiroi di diri Take juga sebetulnya gak wajar lho. Ya, masa' nrimo-nrimo aja dikasih "separo" pacar sahabat karibnya sendiri?? Gila.

Makanya, emang saya rasa kedua orang itu sama-sama gak beres otaknya--meski emang lebih serem Hiroi (gegara tampang polos malaikatnya itu).
Yah, wajar lah hubungan asmara keduanya gak ada yang berjalan awet. Mana ada orang yang oke-oke aja dibilang, "Aku mau pacaran sama kamu, tapi kamu juga harus mencintai sahabatku juga". Hadeeeeeh....

Yang lumayan saya suka dari hubungan Take-Mine-Hiroi ini adalah bahwa ternyata ada benih-benih cemburu juga di antara mereka. Meski Take dan Hiroi selalu berbagi apa pun sejak kecil, begitu muncul Mine dan mereka mencintainya dengan "serius" (kukasih tanda petik karena mencintai secara serius ala mereka itu mungkin gak sama dengan yang ada di pasaran wkwk), barulah mereka menyadari ada perasaan ingin memonopoli sesuatu. Bahwa cinta dan kasih sayang itu gak melulu boleh dibagi.

Tapi endingnya mereka tetep bertiga sih.
Saya suka konklusi(?) yang dibawa Mine. Dia bilang, "Kalau kalian boleh seenaknya membagiku separo-separo, aku juga akan melakukan hal yang sama terhadap kalian". Woooohoooooo luar biyasaaaa!!! Mine maruk(???)! Minta separo dari Hiroi dan Take sekaligus! /gakgituwoi

Enw, kisah hubungan poliamori ini emang rada f*cked up, tapi masih di taraf yang bisa saya konsumsi (dan bahkan lumayan menyukai).
Dan judul ini pun bertahan di rak (tadinya kalo muak duluan, ingin kujual lagi wkwk).

I feel like I need to explain why I gave this one star. It's not because it's almost a polycule (three guys) or the unclear relationship two MCs have. Actually, I like that. More gay-poly, please!
Rather, the story feels underdeveloped, very repetitive and ends abruptly. The drawing style is okay. But what may have been two or three stars went down to one because the bottom in this polycule clearly expresses his wishes and the other two ignore it:

- he loves only one of them, only wants to be with him and only wants to have sex with him, yet he is forced into a polycule/threesome because if he doesn't, he doesn't get to be with the guy he loves --> my guys, that is coerceion and abuse
- he several times says "No" or "Stop" and they don't listen or stop, thus you get spicy scenes in theory that in actuallity are rape
- the two guys not in a romantic relationship within this polycule don't actually resolve their issues, which is not to say that they also have to love each other but damn, they should at least openly talk about their feelings

Yes to gay poly/threesome!
No to rape, bad/no communication and abuse!

Avis : un manga plutôt intéressant sur la vision de tout partager avec son meilleur ami. Et sur une relation à 3, où 2 des personnes ne s'entendent pas forcément bien. C'est la 2ème fois que je le lis je te dirais que j'ai aimé mais il ne m'avait pas beaucoup marqué c'est pour cela que je l'ai re lu.

Es bastante pwp y no ahonda mucho en la relación en sí. Es la historia de dos amigos de la infancia que comparten todo, hasta las parejas.
Me hubiera gustado más desarrollo de Take ya que se muestra siempre como alguien que acepta todo lo que Hiroi quiere. Cuando le empieza a gustar Mine, sus cambios solo lo llevan a ponerse agresivo y listo. Floja la trana.

Yes, it is very hot, beautifully drawn but it also dives into more serious topics.

I really liked this one from the very first time I read it. It's not like everyone can intricately escalate an unconventional dynamic such as this. As our world gets more open with different kinds of relationships, I don't know but it's hard to really find someone who can be comfortable with the idea of being in an open relationship. Maybe it's just on my end, but it's really hard. It's not like everyone have a wide understanding of things. It's actually good that the three characters came to a tacit understanding that they're all bound by each other mostly because of Take and Hiroi's friendship. This is good. Though it wasn't really consented at first by Mine, they actually all compromised. It's good.
