Looney Toons: I removed the example of Love Hina added by a nameless person on 1/19/06, because there is no Love Dodecahedron in Love Hina.
Ununnilium: Indeed. It's superficially similar to a Harem Comedy, but there are only a few people who ever "want" Keitaro, and only one he wants back. (And Kentaro, added for the anime, is the only one who, in turn, is a rival for affections (and not a very serious one at that).)
Ratfox: I cannot find a page on a common trope: Guy and girl have a date. The date is under close surveillance by a large group of people, to ensure the date goes wrong (or well). Examples in many mangas, not necessarily with dodecahedrons. For instance, in Detective Conan Takagi and Sato's date in an Amusement Park is watched by half the Tokyo police force... Is there a page on this? Otherwise, how to call it?
Nornagest: Does this qualify?
- As an Animesque production, Megatokyo also features its own Love Dodecahedron: Piro is in love with Kimiko, Kimiko is Erika's best friend, Erika is in love with Largo, Largo hates Miho and thinks she's an undead wench, Miho is Ping's best friend, Miho has a rather ambivalent relationship with Piro, and Ping is Piro's robotic girlfriend.
From the description, it looks like there's only two disjoint pairings going on (amid a half-dozen non-love relationships). That's not even a triangle. I don't feel qualified to pull it, though; I stopped reading Megatokyo when it became a poorly done romance manga.
Citizen: I changed the Ranma chart into a link in the examples, because 377 px is still rather large for an image. Found a Negima replacement.
Gemmifer: I don't get the Negima one. The Ranma picture is much clearer.
Nate The Great: I much prefer the Ranma love chart.
lovebug: Hamtaro?
Chuckg: If anybody's wondering why the heck I linked Kitty's mention to the Miko page, its intended to be a play off of the part where only dating Colossus and Cypher practically makes her a nun by X-Mansion standards, and Kitty's being second only to Logan in the 'Turns all culturally Japanese whenever they feel like it' department.
Sonica: Would Luminous Arc 2 count? Aside from getting a magic-giving Witch Harem, Roland can end up with either Althea or Fatima, Karen develops a crush on on, who has Ace crushing on her. Sadie's interest in him was developed a bit further than 'how interesting'... Dia may or may not count.
Nameless Fairy: What about Touhou, while purely Fanon (and it must be admitted that 80% of Touhou is fanon) Everyone and their mother likes someone else, who then likes some one else creating a web that may very well put Ranma and Negima to shame
