Here are the CF manga/manhwa/webtoon/manhwa titles that I've read through out my life span. We all have our fair share of beef with manga that use childhood friends as a plot device to stir up drama between the main couple. They are set up, destined to lose and make the main couple look better. But don't you worry, I got you some where the CF takes the W (provided some drama/triangle is to be expected)

Edit: These are the series that I have read myself. I have added some Friends to lovers ones too cuz they follow (somewhat) the same premise. Also, I generally avoid harem and the reunion type shit where the childhood friends meet after 10 years cuz that totally defeats the purpose imo. I personally like this genre cuz of their shared history, bond and smooth dynamic and chemistry. I prefer this over "fell in love at first sight" typa trope that's why there's so much on the list. Hope y'all don't mind :)
