Product Description
Orie Nakano's girlfriend is cheating on him with two other men! One is the mysteriously untouchable Tatsumi, and the other is the basketball-playing upperclassman that Orie idolizes. But things are far from being as simple as they seem, and now the three men are inevitably pulled towards each other and bond together by their love for Yuka, which extends much farther than just the girl herself.

This story is surprisingly good, angst, love, lust, rape, grief and caring for your brother-in-love makes this a fascinating and unique story centered around the Human Love theory: it may have made a better novel than a manga though. By the end, however, as the title tried to warn me, indeed my yaoi cup was empty and I was still thirsty for love, there's a couple hot encounters between the men but the story is focused strangely around a woman, the first pages in fact are of heterosexual sex(ye be warned)but over all I enjoyed it, I think I may resale-I recommenced you buy used!

I bought this manga looking for something interesting and what I got was a complex emotional roller coaster that stemmed from three boys in love or screwing the same girl. I found it kind of refreshing to see a little het in a yaoi manga but also found it slightly odd until the very end when it made scene to me. XD.
The story takes place in a high School setting and as i said before involves three boys that are romantically involved with the same girl. They all go to the same school (the three guys and the girl) and yet no one seemed to realize the girl had 3 boyfriends. Anyway aside from that side note it was a very interesting emotional manga that had to deal with letting go, obsession and hidden emotions. it was a very interesting read. I would and have recommended it to friends.

Peanut butter and chocolate, Fred and Ginger, Gundam villains and helmets--there are some combinations that are just meant to be.
When I saw that this book was a joint production between Satosumi Takaguchi("Shout Out Loud"--if you haven't read it yet, for shame) and Yukine Honami ("Rin!", "Constellations in My Palm") I knew I had to read it. I did feel a bit of trepidation beforehand: would this manga measure up to the individual works of the artists? The answer: yes, it does.
The story kicks off when high school junior Orie Nakano discovers (in one of the most alarming ways possible) that his girlfriend is sleeping with Tatsumi, another classmate of theirs, and that, even worse, she's also involved with Orie's adored "sempai" Suguru. To go any further would be to give away crucial parts of the plot (which, oddly, June doesn't seem to have any qualms about doing with their cover copy), but I think it's sufficient to say that the rest of it unfolds in the intense, absorbing, fashion that one would expect from Takaguchi. Other reviewers have called it "confusing," but I'd say instead that it's emotionally complex, one of those rich stories that make you think, ah, so that's what was going on, and that reward rereading.
Honami's art is as softly beautiful and expressive as ever; it's a joy to see a mangaka be able convey volumes with such attention to detail. The larger format and good print quality of June's books is particularly welcome here, as it shows off Honami's work to best effect. And it's a real relief to have a translation free of the spotty quality issues that mar so many of the BL releases in English; this one leaves readers free to just enjoy the story.
The only caveat I can think of is that this one's a real angst-fest--there's nothing cute or funny about it--so if you're looking for a light diversion, it's not the title to choose. That said, its quality in all other respects makes it highly recommended. Enjoy.

when l bought this manga
l thought that it's the the same like any other manga but with "threesoma"
(it's all sex..sex...sex...sex) nothing else than that,
but this manga was something else,
this manga l can call it "meaningful story"
what so great about this manga :
that you have many thought going on it and feeling of Confusing about it.
all l felt is "weired weired"
but very very cool
