Anime/Manga with successful polyamorous relationships

Here is a wiki article on polymory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyam...s_of_polyamory

I'm looking for anime and manga which have successful, happy polyamorous relationships (it is fine if they have some struggles, but I want them to overall work out). What I'm most interested in is finding some anime and manga which have relationships where 3 characters are in a loving relationship together or 4 characters are in love. If you know of series with relationships with 5 or more characters, you can name them.

I cannot think of any shows that discuss this subject much less portray it on-screen. Adult characters are rare in contemporary anime, as are shows which deal seriously with sexual relationships. I've not seen many shows where adult couples are portrayed, much less multiple relationships. I don't read manga, but I'd look there first because I don't think you'll find what you want in animated shows.

Bummer. They won't give us much adults in loving relationships, you are right, we just keep getting lolis out the wazoo.

I'm not really a lolicon. It isn't often that I find a loli character pretty appealing. Basically, the youngest characters that I really like are high school student characters or ones that would be in high school (if the anime doesn't happen to have a high school setting). A good age range for anime characters is 16-19. Another one is 20-24 or also anywhere in the 20s. I wish there were more adult characters that got major screen time.

Adult characters, especially adult women, seem to be... rare... in anime these days.

Probably because Japan believes that a woman's twenty-fifth birthday is actually her expiration date.

Good luck ... that's one reason I threw up my hands and decided to write a story that included polyamory as a subplot.

I'm seriously starting to miss the years of Hataraki Man, REC, Honey&Clover ... damn near any daily-life story involving people over 18yrs.

Wow ... I'm going to call "not quite". More like a facepalm implicit pile of "how many meta-tags can we snare in one story" It seems more fascinated with incest and time travel. Fascinating find, though

Apparently it *ends* with a poly solution but it doesn't show being IN a poly relationship. That is an ongoing facepalm for me with much of shounen - it stops as soon as everyone confesses. There's no story time spent on actually BEING IN a relationship (when life actually gets challenging and complicated).

We have a long dormant member named cheyennew who actually is/was involved in a real life poly relationship. She did a pretty good job of explaining how such relationships worked.

I remembered this http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=13557, well is not like that they really into the term of wives, but think what they do is close enough to be called Polyamorous, eventually MC make love with three of them and choose all of them, even thought it's not the last conclusion yet . . .
