Three Leaves, Three Colors (Japanese: 三者三葉? Hepburn: Sansha San'yō, lit. "Tripartite Trefoil") is a Japanese four-panel manga series by Cherry Arai, serialized in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara magazine since February 2003 and twelve tankōbon volumes have been collected so far. An anime adaptation by Doga Kobo premiered in April 2016.
The story revolves around the everyday life of three high-school girls who all have a kanji "葉" (literally "leaf") in their names, and have different features - hence the translation of the title, "three leaves, three colors".
