    Boku dake ga Shitterun daze - Vol. 2 Ch. 6 - Online Friend

    Going by the author's previous work, I think neither "harem" or "love triangle" will capture the chaos. We've got an ikemen mostly in love with his own reflection, the glasses girl in love with the ikemen, the happy-go-lucky dumbass obliviously pursuing the glasses girl, and I think the girl...

    Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 7 Ch. 66 - Rihito and Reni's Day Off

    Noa already had a single person support network before she met Rihito: Negiemon. That's been expanded to two people - the beginnings of a group - precisely because Rihito became friends with her as well. Now Rihito and Negiemon share the load. But they are both in perfect agreement that Noa...

    Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 7 Ch. 66 - Rihito and Reni's Day Off

    Reni: "You're so annoying! She's so annoying!" Noa: "I'm so annoying!" That's the difference. When something goes even mildly wrong in Noa's life, her first instinct is to blame herself. Reni blames anyone but herself. Rihito keeps Reni at arm's length at least in part because he doesn't enjoy...

    I'm in Love with the Older Girl Next Door - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - Shia-san is still angry

    You can't say Tasuku didn't succeed at getting Shia to look at him differently... but his true moment of triumph wasn't the boundary-trampling confession from last time. It was sensing just how close he was to losing Shia's trust completely, and managing to regain it - well, most of it, anyhow...

    I'm in Love with the Older Girl Next Door - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - Shia-san’s smile

    It's a tough realization to come to - that the smile she wears for him is when she's performing the role of an older sister entertaining a little brother, and her genuine self is something he's only ever seen by accident. And I suspect he didn't even fully understand just how deep into the...

    Negai wo Kanaete Moraou to Akuma wo Shoukan Shitakedo, Kawaikattanode Kekkonshimashita ~Akuma no Niidzuma~ - Vol. 10 Ch. 50 - Are You Girls Getting A…

    Seems like Helvi decided to forget about them entirely... Little does she realize neglect play is what they're into the most!

    J⇔M JM - Ch. 26 - Yanagi-Sensei Noticed This Strangeness

    It's like the Hitomi hairstyle itself is cursed. Not only did she correctly arrive at the conclusion that Megumi is being possessed, through astute observation and careful interviewing of her students, proving she is actually highly competent, she is surrounded by thoroughly incompetent adult...

    Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 7 Ch. 60 - Rihito and A Woman’s Fragrance

    Well, there's a few problems I have with this. One is that Rihito doesn't make shit up to conform to pressure from anyone. His most defining characteristic is that he marches to the beat of his own drum and is honest about what he thinks or feels. This is the immovable object to Noa's...

    Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 7 Ch. 60 - Rihito and A Woman’s Fragrance

    Oof, left out a massive piece of context there. "A type, huh..., I really don't have one, honestly." >>> "They'd have to be someone I can get along with... Maybe "compatibility is the right word...?" "I don't really get these sorts of things." In that moment he is seriously thinking about what...

    Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 5 Ch. 48.3 - Beach Outing

    Well, there goes her plausible deniability for the "psycho lesbian" allegations.

    Akira Failing in Love - Vol. 4 Ch. 31 - Double Crisis

    Maybe I should start reading manga like I'm playing Return of the Obra Dinn. That was a great game.

    Akira Failing in Love - Vol. 4 Ch. 31 - Double Crisis

    The real twist is that she actually has a little sister. I was convinced she just made her up on the spot out of sheer desperation, and we'd get a storyline about her even more desperate efforts to keep up the deception by pretending to be her own little sister. Put her hair in twin tails, put...

    Sasaki-san wa Chotto dake Sugoi. - Ch. 12 - Dark Clouds

    It's perfect. To help her out of this he's going to have to confront his own worst fears and crippling lack of self-esteem, at the core of which is that he's named after a virtue - "courage" - that he's convinced he doesn't possess. That's how he introduces himself - in the same first panel of...

    Ponkotsu-chan Kenshouchuu - Vol. 8 Ch. 85 - Yumesaki-San in VR

    This manga could be instructive material. The love triangle was a bike with a third wheel tied to the back getting dragged across the pavement making a grating noise. Now that Yumesaki and Amesaka are finally allowed to bond it's a comfy bike with sidecar. The grating noise is gone and I don't...

    Touhou - Ladies of Scarlet Devil Mansion - Ch. 13

    They seem to like one half of it just fine - the one where Youmu likes Reisen. I think someone who truly cannot get behind a certain ship at all would just avoid bringing it up altogether, even if it's popular. And it's not like they aren't being paired up - this is the second time Youmu got...
