Polyamangarous

A blog for cataloging all the manga/anime I find with canon (or canon enough) poly pairings! Will also reblog just cute OT3+ stuff sometimes!

[polyamanga]

WHOAH I just opened my ask box and a TON of asks that weren't there before showed up?? Most of them are from months ago but for some reason they weren't there when I did the ask round up. I'll have to do another one! Sorry for anyone whose asks weren't answered! I'll try my best to get those posted soon!

I made a few more of these is this anything

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You! chapter 175.5

[polyamanga]

I Can’t Choose a Childhood Friend! (Osananajimi wo Erabenai!)

[polyamanga]

So this isn't anime or manga adjacent but...

a game came out on steam recently called Oneway.exe, it's a horror puzzle game that focuses on trying to unravel the mystery surrounding a group of three game devs called CT, SS and EE (or Trio8 as a group). During the development of their game, UNTITLED.exe, one of the devs was murdered. A video of the crime was posted online, and spawned a legend surrounding their abandonded game being haunted.

You, as the player, are looking through the dev's chatlogs, emails, etc, as well as playing through parts of the game they developed, trying to put the pieces together to understand what happened to them.

During my first playthrough of the game, when I read the chatlogs between Trio8 and saw how they talked to each other, I was saying to myself (and to my partners, they had to listen to all my thoughts my entire playthrough lol) "you cannot tell me these three aren't poly!" They have pet names for each other, talk about "intimate moments" and say things like "last night was so special", take selfies together and make it their phone wallpapers, CT calls SS and EE "my boys", just to name a few...

and the reason I'm posting here is cus they ARE POLY, BABY!!! 🎉🎉🎉

It's been heavily theorized by the community for a while but it was all but confirmed by the official tumblr this week in the answer to an ask recently.

The answer isn't a blatant yes or no (it almost never is), but I don't think you start imagining a triple-wedding without at least being at situationship status yknow? lol

Like I said at the beginning of this post, I know this doesn't quite fit on the theme of this blog, and I don't plan to start posting about non-anime-adjacent games here in general, but I really adore how much of a focus the love between CTSSEE is in the story, even though it's a horror game, and I really want more people to know about it.

Obviously, the story is a tragedy. We know going in that all three of them don't make it out alive. But love is such a big theme, the way the people you love affect you and how you affect them, for better and for worse. The way love can infect you and change you from within. You get to see how much they love each other, and how much they hurt each other. And that pain hurts so much more because of how deep the love is.

So I just wanted to share this with you all for all those reasons. If you like horror games, I absolutely recommend checking out oneway.exe on that front alone, because I think the horror is really great!! The art, animations, sound design, scare factor, it's absolutely so much fun. And ALSO has a polyamorous trio at the heart of its story.

They might not get a happy ending...but if we get Module 2.0 in the future, who knows what could happen? A girl can cope dream!

NSFW Recommendation Roundup

I've got a lot of asks in my inbox recommending some NSFW series, so I'm going to list them all here in one big post to catch up!

Looking at all of these, I can't tell just from the descriptions if they're just standard harems (meaning, the love interests are competing or otherwise don't seem to be happy with "sharing") or if they're actually poly, so I'll present them generally without comment, but I'll also add what content warnings I think they'll contain (if any) based on their descriptions.

Due to the content in some of them, I'll put it under a readmore.

The Fake Saint of a Reverse Harem Game (manhwa, reverse harem)

“I’m really Edith Avina?!” I ended up trapped in a reverse harem game. And not just that, I’ve become the villainess I killed countless times! The protagonist, a player of the VR game “Experience! Life on the Scene: Saintess Edition,” wakes up not as Jian, the saintess heroine of the game, but in the body of the villainess Edith Avina. However, no matter what she tries, she can’t log out?! On top of that, in order to find a way back to reality and to find true love, she has to have sex with all five capture targets to discover genuine love? “What the hell is this bullshit~~~!” This is Edith’s adult-only reverse harem (strategy) journey, not just to raise affection levels… but to raise arousal levels as well♡

Gekizumi Dungeon Desu ga Skill Hanshoku de Gyakuten Shitai to Omoimasu / I Want to Turn this Crowded Dungeon Around with My Breeding Skill (manga, harem)

Reborn in another world as a dungeon master, Akira Hanamura constructs a cozy dungeon within just 30 minutes. However, there's one major flaw—this "perfect" dungeon has zero defenses against the flood of adventurers seeking its treasures. It’s a ticking time bomb where being conquered means instant death for Akira. In this desperate situation, Akira discovers the potential of his unique 《Reproduction》 skill. To survive, he must expand his forces by creating new monsters, utilizing both female adventurers and monster girls as vessels to grow his dungeon's strength. What starts as the weakest dungeon turns into a relentless rise to power as Akira battles to create the ultimate stronghold. An erotic and high-stakes dungeon-building fantasy born from Nocturne Novels—prepare for a thrilling journey of strategy, survival, and unexpected alliances!

CONTENT: Breeding

While I Was Asleep (feat. Bad Friends) (manhwa, reverse harem)

CONTENT: SA while asleep, somnophilia?

Yesterday's Crown Prince, Today's Male Bride (manhwa, yaoi)

I can't find a description for this one, just the listing on MangaUpdates.

CONTENT: SA, tentacles?

The Maid Wants to Be Devoured by the Young Masters (manhwa, reverse harem)

The story takes place in the wealthy Ham family’s mansion, where a maid named Jua lives and serves three young masters. As they grow up together, complicated emotions develop between them, leading to a forbidden and passionate love triangle within the household.

This one seems the closest to be actually poly, imo!

Hen Hen Hou Gong Liao Zhi Zhengjiu Qi Ge Nv Fanpai (manhua)

I transmigrated into a novel — “Tianyuan Continent: I Alone Am Supreme,” also known as “My Seven Wives Are All Villainesses.” I became the disposable villain who’s doomed to die in three days! Luckily, I have a system — and my mission is to save the world. If all seven heroines fall into darkness, the world will perish. So… I have to save them with love!

Men Are Rare (manhwa, harem)

One day, Kang Sunho lost consciousness in an accident, only to wake up to: "Alright, time to collect your semen, sweetie!" Wait a second... Men are rare in this world?! With women throwing themselves at him... Well, if this is how things are, guess I'll just enjoy the feast, one by one!!!

Heroes Save With Their Bodies (manhwa, reverse harem)

Working late, she accidentally became possessed! And of all places—inside a discarded game deemed “harmful content” by the ratings board. Now, if she wants to return home, she has to level up and become a hero… impressively so. But the method to raise those stats is… “Stats are earned each time you seduce a male character with a ‘target card.’ More precisely—by absorbing semen.” She discovered a new talent—something she’d never found at school or work. Its name? Semen Absorption.

Chongsheng Shuihu Shijie Zhi Zui Qiang Wudalang (manhua, harem)

The modern youth Wu Zhi travels through the world of Water Margin and exchanges bodies with Wu Dalang, fights with Ximen Qing with wits, and wins over all the heroes with his prophetic ability.

Saozi: Wo Zhen Bu Shi Shszi Le (manhua, harem)

Feigning madness for five years, I turned the tables and slaughtered my enemies to reach the pinnacle! Then, in a moment of truth: it’s my turn to protect you all for eternity! A family of ten was brutally murdered, and seven beautiful women insist on marrying me?

This one might actually be SFW, but it was in the same ask as other NSFW series, so I'm not sure lol.

Doku no Ou Saikyou no Chikara ni Kakusei Shita Ore wa Bikitachi wo Shitagae, Hatsujou Haaremu no Aruji to Naru (manga, harem)

Thirteen years ago, a terrible monster known as the “Poison Queen” attacked the Kingdom of Jade. A brave group of adventurers managed to defeat her, but in the process, one of them was struck by a deadly curse. To survive, he was forced to pass it on to his own son. Since birth, Kaim Halsberg has been despised as a cursed child, hated by everyone except his late mother and Tii, a maid who served his family. While his father and twin sister live in the family mansion, Kaim was forced to reside alone in a cabin deep in the forest. But everything changes when a certain “doctor” helps him overcome the curse and awaken his dormant power. Now reborn as the King of Poison, Kaim sets out on a journey to fulfill his one true wish… though he never imagined his poison would have such a peculiar effect on the beautiful women he meets along the way!

CONTENT: abuse, child abuse

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc episode 3

[polyamanga]

i'd recommend Dealing with the Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze!

Oh, I've been seeing ads for the anime! The character designs really caught my eye (they're so colorful in an way I think is unique), but I never looked into it much beyond that. This is a good incentive for me to actually watch it lol

Yuu Ayase, son of a late legendary actress, is overwhelmingly mediocre. When he’s invited to stay with his mother’s friend, Yuu is shocked to find out that he’ll be living with three prodigy sisters who possess both beauty and talent…and who rule his new school as the Three Emperors. Can Yuu manage to melt the sisters’ cold hearts and fulfill his mother’s last wish for him to build a happy family?

Thanks for the rec!

[polyamanga]

I saw "Gyaru can't be kind to Otaku?" recommended on here and immediately binged it. I'm quite happy to say that in the ninth volume, a new character who immediately saw through Their Whole Deal suggests The Solution to the girls as a joke. They're all like "that's ridiculous, it could never work... or could it?"

Some people would complain that it took them nine volumes, but I love a slow burn. The author made it VERY obvious the whole time that this is the intended outcome, which really kept me invested.

Ah, I didn't get a notification that I got this ask! Sorry about that!

I had heard about the recent chapters including a "haha...unless?" moment in them, I've been meaning to look into it.

And honestly nine volumes isn't that bad! Umi no Misaki didn't confirm the main trio until the end, and that was 15 volumes! It's great to hear it was obvious though, even if I'm always really apprehensive of whether or not it will actually happen lol. I really have to pick up volume one soon.

[polyamanga]

May I recommend MarriageToxin? The way things are going with Gero and the girls, it MIGHT end up being poly, you never can tell. Besides, I think I recall a scene where a VERY minor character is dating three boys at once.

(Sorry for how long this sat in my inbox also!! Could have sworn I answered it a while ago lmao)

I think this series popped up on MangaPlus for me a while back and I thought the cover and title looked neat. Honestly even if it's just a minor character being poly, I'll take it lmao. (I watched the entirety of that film Whatever Works starring Larry David just for like...3 minutes of the mom being in a poly relationship lmfao, so, yknow)

This will be a good use of my (husband's) MangaPlus subscription since Undead Unluck ended lol

A hitman and a marriage swindler set out on the world’s most grueling battle for marriage! Gero is a young man from a clan of hitmen, which has been in existence for hundreds of years. As someone who’s never gone to school and lived his life dealing in the dark side of the business, he considers himself to have “no prospects with women” and marriage as “something not for him.” However, one day, in fear that their lineage would dissolve, his clan warns Gero that if he doesn’t marry and produce an heir, they would have no choice but to…force his little sister into doing “that.” Driven to his wits’ end, Gero asks the target of his work, a marriage swindler, to…

Thank you for the recommendation!

[polyamanga]

I recommend Isekai Furin and Isekai Furin ll.

(Sorry this ask sat in my inbox for so long 😭)

So taking a look at the descriptions for this manga and its sequel...I have some hesitations? It sounds like its a cheating series, which I wouldn't qualify as polyamory. If you can spoil it for me, do all parties know about it by the end and consent to all being together?

There's tons of media (in the west at least) that start as cheating and develop into polyamory, so if that happens, that's one thing. (I have my own opinions on that trope, but I won't go into them here.) But if they're just cheating the whole time, and the other partner doesn't know, this isn't the blog for a series like that :(

Thank you for the rec tho!

[polyamanga]

I mentioned The Otaku Love Connection a bit ago, and I just picked up volume 2 so I figure now is as good a time as ever to finally make a post about it.

It focuses on two otaku, Wataru Otonari and Mashiro Tomaki, who both have the same real-person-ship OTP, that being Yuzuru Kakoi in their class and her boyfriend Chihiro Kawai in the neighboring class. Otonari and Tomaki eat, sleep, live and breathe Kakoi/Kawai (or Kawai/Kakoi depending on which one you ask), but from a distance, so the couple in question were completely unaware until Otonari goes ahead and blurts it out one day. In a very...monogamous way lol

Strictly speaking, this manga isn't poly, considering Otonari and Mashiro specifically and consistently emphasize that they are not interested in Chihiro or Yuzuru romantically or sexually. Not to mention that Chihiro is exclusively Yuzuru-sexual. And Yuzuru, sweet ray of sunshine that she is, love everyone, but doesn't seem to be romantically interested in anyone other than Chihiro.

However, Your Honor...

At a certain point, when you adore every single thing about two people, even their relationship with each other...when you're calling them both cute and beautiful all the time, admiring them from afar (and close-up) constantly, memorizing their likes and dislikes, accepting their flaws, and being so obsessed with them that you burst into tears of joy when you see them in a new cute outfit...

You're gonna tell me they're not in love??

You'll have to pry this polyship from my cold, dead, white-knuckled hands. I can't accept a monogamous explanation for this LOL

[polyamanga]

yo i just wanted to say thanks so much for this blog!!! i was trying to find more poly manga after rlly enjoying 100 girlfriends, and i was so excited to find this blog!!! so many lists dont differentiate between "actual poly relationship" and "harem" manga so seeing you give more detail helps a bunch!! i also wanted to drop a recommendation, if it hasnt already been given!! (will cont in new ask lmao)

Thank you for the kind words!! I'm glad this blog has helped you! I've always been a bit picky about how I like my poly rep lol, and I like making lists, so I'm really happy to know my particular poly-brainrot works for more people than just me!

I get what you mean about the poly-vs-harem thing as well. I mean, a lot of harem series often have great poly potential, but with just how common they are in anime/manga it's so hard to tell which ones will be, for lack of a better term, bait lol. Yknow, 15 love interests but there was really only one meant to be endgame the whole time.

Anyway lol! That manga sounds interesting! A good protagonist is a necessary foundation for any good poly-adjacent series, and I love when all the love interests get good focus as well. There's always a bit of hope for ongoing series to go the canon poly route too 🙏🤞 We can only pray lol

And it looks like the fan translation is consistently updating which is a huge plus! Also that art style is soooo so cute

Thank you for the rec!

I want to wake up the princess who was put to sleep by a witch's curse… but there are seven of them! So it seems that I have to kiss...... seven girls! Now the princesses are awake, but the other people in the kingdom are still asleep...... Why? Is there more to breaking the curse than just a kiss or am I still missing something......? Alec is the third prince of Rudbekia who wants to save the kingdom of Amaryllis and its seven princesses. In a country where only they are awake, they must work together to save everyone from the curse!

Hey! Wishing you well! Sorry that we don’t get to see you on here as much anymore. Recently discovered a new series (has a new anime adaptation of a light novel series): “There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless...”

Hello! I'm still here, I'm sorry for not posting! I haven't been using Tumblr has much recently, and after that DMCA took down a lot of stuff on Mangadex, I haven't been able to keep up with a lot of series as well as I had been. There's also personal stuff but don't worry about that lmao. Thank you for reaching out!

Someone sent an ask about that series as while back! I read a few of the (at that time) most recent chapters of the manga, but never got around to starting from the beginning lol. I've been seeing the anime episodes popping up on my youtube feed recently tho! Does it seem like a good adaptation so far?

I've also found a few manga I've been meaning to post about here--I picked up volume 1 of The Otaku Love Connection, which is def not canon poly but the vibes are delightful. I also heard some good things about recent chapters of Gals Can't Be Kind To Otaku!? going in a poly direction, but I've had trouble finding volume one in my area lol

Thanks to everyone for sticking around during my absence (again) lmao 🙏🙏🙏

[polyamanga]

mentioning it because I didn't see it on your series list -- I watched the first eight episodes of The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World tonight, and I thought it was really cute, from a polyam perspective! it sidesteps a lot of harem tropes I'm less keen on by having a cast of adult characters who know what they want. the fact that the protag's relationship with each lover is very distinct lends a lot of realism to the polyam. feel free to DM me for more thoughts. ^^

I'm sorry it didn't work for you! I've had that happen to me with a ton of series lol.

The "--in another world" genre doesn't tend to grab me personally a lot of the time, but even if it's bog-standard harem fare, if it's confirmed polyam, I probably won't complain too much lmao! I do like the character designs, from a quick glance at the poster.

Kenichi Hamada is just a regular, middle-aged man working as an illustrator in Japan. One day, he is transported to another world and wakes to find himself in the middle of a dangerous forest filled with ravenous monsters. He quickly discovers a massive online shopping site that can deliver him exactly what he needs. Join Kenichi on his search for relaxation in a new world!

Thank you for the recommendation(ish?)!

[demifiendrsa]

The Elusive Samurai chapter 196 color page

[polyamanga]

I recommend Heartbeat Conquest! I just finished reading it, and it's a really good polyam manhwa — everyone in the relationship knows Diana has multiple lovers, and with her first boyfriend in particular, she explicitly asks his consent (for everyone else, it's basically just. A known fact that she has multiple lovers).

It sounds a little bit like 100 Girlfriends, in the sense that at a certain point the characters just accept the plethora of lovers and have no issue with it lol.

From what I've found, it was taken down from Webtoon, but it looks like it's available on some of the Batoto alternative websites.

This is a minor thing, but I really like that title! It's, I don't know, cute and snappy?

I opened my eyes, but where I am?! Da-Eun instinctively realized she fell into the world of 'Handsome Boy's Love Simulation' as Diana. As she looks around, she sees hearts above the head of others! Men, women and even passing animals are all targets! Diana, thinking this is all a dream, creates a plan to start a reverse harem…

Thanks for the rec!
