every time another oneshot from this polyam yuri anthology gets translated it's a good, good day~

also YESS! You can be polyam and still experience jealousy! THANK YOU!! It always peeves me so much when ppl think that just bc you're polyam you're not allowed to feel jealous. Of course you can! It's a normal human emotion! Some ppl feel it, some don't and either way is fine. How we choose to deal with it is what matters.

This was a really sweet story! I'm glad they got to genuinely communicate or at least start to.

^^ Jealousy is a beed not getting met, its feeling scacity in your relationships. If feel like you want more time with the other person just ask! But also, sometimes you want more intimacy or something from them that they dont want! So you have to get that need met with other people. Its normal to invite someone over to watch movies and they decline so you bring anotjer movie friend. Cuddling and emotional support and sex, and all the social needs a person has can be met with multiple people, if you feel jealous its worth asking why? If you feel like you’re not enough then maybe try remembering that this person keeps choosing to spend time with you. If you’re worried the other person can do somethi no for the person you love that you can’t remeber thats good that theyre getting their needs met. There are no rules, only trying to make each other happy!

Polycule growth starts slow and then speeds up exponentially. She has 2 girlfriend now, but by this time next year she could have a dozen. If left unchecked, within a few decades she'll dating every woman alive.

Cute oneshot.

Good stuff.
I do wish there was at least one more page, something of Amato making a bit more of a connection with the couple at the concert. She did well in confronting her feelings and making a move to relate to her would-be's relationships, but it felt transactional where it was left off. Her mind is set to try confessing to Maki, but that's for later. For now, there's an opportunity to genuine exploration these three's own commonalities, which may make the polycule easier (or harder, if it doesn't click, but at least she'd know what she's up against,) but also might just make 2 new friends (one of whom is vetted on some level as a cool hang with by your best friend / would-be gf.) Clearly, there's a lot of shared interests for you three to talk about. Enjoy the show!

Oh wow, this might be the most realistic depiction of poly I’ve seen! There’s still moments of jealousy and not all parties involved need to date each other for a stable polycule.

CUTE yay honesty! I hate the tropes that polyam people are untrustworthy or sleep around with no consideration. They are sometimes even more safe and communicative than a monogamous couple.

I think the author just did a meme...either by accident or intentionally. Parks and Recreation ("This is my husband and this is my husband's boyfriend") meme type. XD

Hmm, alright one-shot so far, could have been a expand or add more detailed by adding a couple more pages between the character to give a smoother interaction, like they subtly showing worry to the MC about the minor tension or jealously/hurt expression she was unable to hide but that is just my worthless opinion.

Yeah, Polyamory can work but it depends mostly on the people involved, you need to have a open understanding and honest conversation with each other...I say there can only be a max limit of maybe 7-9 people [excluding very very rare exceptions)] before I say it all just a fking stupid open relationship group mess pretending to be a Polyamory relationship.

There are example of good Polyamory relationship...And bad Polyamory relationships. Once again...It depends on all the people involved in the group relationship...Human relationship can be easy, fun and relaxing or very tense and troublesome depending on the person involved.

Hopefully MC will end up joining the relationship in the future and they can all be happy.

I wish there was more, but I think the ending was really sweet. Leaves the future to the imagination, but in a pleasant way.

I'll second all of this.

so like.... literally every other form of human relationship. don't see ppl scrunch their nose and go "well it caaaan work between just two people, i guess" at any monogamous couple.

Looks at comment quoting me and Shrug

Like I said, it depends on all the people involved in the relationship. It just common sense? Like how it works between two people starting and having a relationship, it depends on the 'people involved'. A monogamous couple could work...or it could not work for the people involved (Like some people finding out that don't want to have romance and just have friends).

....But you seriously underestimate humanity and human kind inability to tolerant other people's relationship at times (The small loud minority though) and try to interfere....For example in the past....Skin color between a white guy and a black girl...or white girl and a black guy...In the 1800-1900 that would be very problematic lol XD

Age issue being different...I have no issues with that as long as both people...or multiple people involved are adults or above their mid 20s I guess but some people would be disgusted or weird out if there was a 10-20+ age difference.

There is also Class based/Economic issues between relationship (Though that is mostly due to nosy controlling parents or parent using their children to get more money.)

Would be real nice if the world was kinder and we can just go about our own business but eh that is humanity...War, scamming, murder and etc. is sadly just a normal day fact for some people in the world...

There are example of good Polyamory relationship...And bad Polyamory relationships. Once again...It depends on all the people involved in the group relationship...Human relationship can be easy, fun and relaxing or very tense and troublesome depending on the person involved.

To quote my own post above,
Like I said, it depends all on people involved, could be just single pairing or poly type, could be good...Or it could he horrible and toxic. A monogamous couple could be way much much worse than a healthy Polyamory relationship.

They both have their strength and weakness, their pros and cons along with their unique challenges in the relationship.

This feels really hopeful to me, considering my experiences with Japanese culture. I'm not saying that Japanese people are uniformly bad at expressing their thoughts and emotions, but I think that the culture can really tend to discourage honesty, and I've experienced culture shock many times in my interactions with Japanese. Either I was "too honest" or I could hardly believe how reserved they were. So it's really cool to see a manga specifically about being honest and about communication. If anyone knows other manga that talk about these things frankly, I'd love to hear more, by the way.

I really liked this little oneshot and would love to see more of it, but having said that, it kind of reeked of fiction if only because of; adults being adults about an adult subject. Polyamory isn't my thing but there's no reason it can't/won't work for others and obviously the first step for that is to keep an open mind. Seeing the MC not just throwing a hissyfit of jealousy and just being kind and friendly to the other ladies was really healing, and gives good vibes about the author. I think I'll go find more of their stuff, particularly if it's of the same maturity level or better. This was GOOD STUFF!

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was just thinking. I remember watching a TV show where a girl was introducing her boyfriend, and then her boyfriend's boyfriend, and they were all holding hands. :D

I'm sorry for not liking people with harmful, ignorant opinions, especially when they come into a space clearly labeled for a thing they don't like just so they can espouse said opinion. I apologize to all the racists and homophobes I've disliked for their opinions.

I say his comment was just slightly closed-mind or not very open (Could have been worse comment). You could have just said "okay bro, cool story" or "Lame or stupid opinion, bye bye though, don't let the door hit you on the way out and make sure to read the tags next time!" XD Though everyone is entitled and allowed to voice their opinion...Though not all comments/opinions are without consequences. She/He could have comment on why She/he didn't like this poly relationship in the story though which would have been more valid criticism, I enjoy this one-shot poly story (Could have been bit longer and more flesh out in my opinion 'personally' but was a decent one-shot story overall.)

If that User/Commentator was making very clear statements about how poly relationships are wrong and horrible then your 100% justified in your comment. Though he/she just said 'Personally can' like this kind of relationship' which is still a bit of stupid comment but like I said people are allowed to voice/type out their opinion...even if their comment is unpopular (Dude should have read the tags like you said lol).

Bringing the sudden so-called apology (Your obvious sarcasm) about 'disliking' Racists and homophopes is a bit random...Hopefully your not trying to imply or link that random commentator/User with those things...Though we are all random people on the internet so we truly do not know who each of us are personally. There could in fact be very very close mind racists people here but that commentator/User could be a very nice kind person who volunteers at a animal shelter or something...or he/she could be a horrible rude person IRL as well....Or just a random average person that is nothing special like most people of here in this site.
For example, you could be personally a very kind heart warm person IRL that is very polite to all your friends compared to possible your hostile no hold bars attitude when your online in social media sites (People have many different masks when facing their friends, family or random stranger IRL, Even in games a person could be very kind IRL but a total monster killing random NPCs with their car for fun to release stress).

Just a word of advice...Calling people Racist and Homophopes will not suddenly make people suddenly change their minds and their way of life sadly...Though your 100% valid in calling them out if their comments and statement are in fact 100% racist or Homphopes. If you call people those terms without clear evidence (Hit them with clear evidence and facts of many examples so they can't escape and people can clearly see it) then you will be just wasting your time, though it useful terms for trolling and picking random internet fights lol~ XD

Yes, once again...Her/His opinion could be considered 'Stupid' and 'unneeded' when they could have just read the tags, then read the story then leave trying to erase it out of their mind but eh whatever...Guess they want to have the 'release' of typing out their opinion XD

For example it good to call out people in case of like how a random virtue signaler on Tw*tter claims that Ret*rd is a slur (Very Rude to call people that but I believe most people do that since it sound easier to use than moron or idiot, no harm if they are friends [Not random people] joking calling each other that I guess, seen it many times in high school with immature boys who didn't know better but meant no harm) and trying to control people not to use it...when in fact in the past he was typing our the N-Word and other racist slurs many years in the past....Or An artist virtue signaling about underage characters when in fact they often make many NSFW artwork about underage characters, some including fking them with their OC...Which is nothing to be offend by unless your harassing people and virtue signaling XD

Humans are inherently selfish creatures that desire control and dominance over other people (There are a rare 10% exception which does not include me or many of the people here) They desire connection, control and the need to be heard even if it's pointless effort~
(Her/his unpopular comment [1 single comment history lol], your comment about needing to point our his comment, the other person comment pointing out to your commenting...And finally my own worthless long comment observing and analyzing everything...Thus wasting a few minute of my time personally to type out...) XD

TL;DR (TOO LONG, DIDN'T READ 'THE LONG RANDOM PARAGRAPHS OF WORDS'!!)--
Everyone is different, have different personal values....Let not fight and try to get along the best we can.
