male lead suffers while female lead likes/dates someone else

Any manga or anime where the male and female leads are close and the male lead is in love with the female lead? Well, he thinks she likes him back, but in reality she either likes or begins to date someone else and that causes the male/female lead's relationship to sour. She though might be unaware of his feelings and still tries to be friends with him not understanding why he pulls away. In the end though, she finds out his feelings and comes to terms with her own feelings and they get together.

I know it's a little specific, but it doesn't have to be exactly as I described. Just the main focus being male lead likes female lead while she likes someone else, but in the end the leads get together. Preferably the male lead remains single while dealing with this, but it's not mandatory.

Holy crap, you're right. It's been awhile and I forgot. Though the difference is that the male lead in that does date someone as well. I think I'd like to see if there are any where the male lead doesn't date anyone until he gets the female lead.

Not really. They both have their crushes on someone else at first.

Well Taiga and Ryuuji were the male and female leads. It focused on the growing of their relationship, but they first befriended each other because they liked each other's best friend. Spending all that time together caused them to fall for each other.

Do a spoiler tag. I don't care about spoilers because if it's something that ruins it for me, I don't want to waste my time, you know?

The closest thing that i could recommend is Netsuzou TRap.

First of all, it has two things that may drive readers away.

- Yuri
- NTR, as implied by the capital letters in the title.

Its story is pretty generic and basic but the romance is kinda like what you explained.

I don't recall any anime being what you asked for besides of course Toradora! and a little of White Album 2, and low key Golden Time has that feel, but more complications.

As always, if i find something that fits this OP, then i shall return or PM you.

I get its in the title, but...



Yeah, I figured more manga would probably have this kind of scenario.

technically yes. but it feel as if it isn't 'true" NTR such as : White Album 2, or the notorious School Days.
but many people label it as one and i guess its naturally accepted

Yes. Netorare is defined as "the genre of adultery" or "taken by sleeping with"

I guess, but to me when NTr is wrongly applied is in instance where it's just cheating.

I guess when the person is taken away from their significant other via losing into the lust so they no longer care about that significant other because otherwise it's just cheating. Also people love to scream NTR when it's a love triangle as well.

I agree with you on the love triangles part. People are often confused as to when they are able to label the abbreviation correctly. But i think the closest thing that we can get to that, is School Days, but technically
so they aren't really taken away but more as if they were lead to make rash decisions due to hormonal desires.

Because it doesn't fit. Plus, the story after the plot twist was awful.

In English? Hmm, usually it will show if its completed if an english company released it. I guess the page needs to be updated. I'll look for it. If you can think of any more, please post. Thanks.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is a great example of what you're looking for. Male MC suffers for most of the show while his best male friend receives the affection of the girl the MC likes. Amazing anime, one of my all-time favorites; I highly recommend it.

I know this is late but the manga Good Ending has a male lead that goes through a lot of suffering because of the female leads past love.
