History AllLoveIsUnrequited / AnimeAndManga

** Reiko has a crush on Kyoshiro, but her UpperClassTwit attitude is so grating to him that he's actually scared of her. He is releived when, after being forced to rescue her from the Baam-seijin, Reiko declares that she no longer loves him.

* Almost everyone in ''Anime/SCryed'' who is in love is unrequited or otherwise prevented--several make HeroicSacrifices for a beloved they know is in love with someone else. One minor character has a girlfriend (who he loses and later wins back without her ever getting a single line), and Ryuhou, who does reciprocate Minori's feelings, won't act on them because of Scheris who is also in love with him. StraightCougar practically quotes the trope name at one point in the Anime.

** [[AlphaBitch Raiza]] has a crush on [[WarriorPrince Richter]]. However, Richter outright slaps and [[WouldHitAGirl hits her]], calls her "useless" and a "disgrace" and often puts her down when she has a plan to defeat Daimos. Nevertheless, Raiza keeps trying to wiggle into his good graces, only to be met with further abuse each time.

** Sayuri hated all [[AngelicAliens Baam]]-[[SpaceRomans seijin]] for murdering her parents, but Kazuya convinced her to to give into the power of hate because the woman he was in love with was a [[AlienPrincess Baam Princess]] named Erika. By the end of the episode, being touched by Kazuya's genuinity and sweetness, Sayuri falls for him. However, she acknowledges that his heart belongs to Erika.

** [[AlphaBitch Raiza]] has a crush on [[WarriorPrince Richter]]. However, Richter outright slaps and hits her, calls her useless and frequently tries to have her replaced with more competent generals. Nevertheless, Raiza keeps trying to wiggle into his good graces, only to be met with further abuse each time.

** [[AlphaBitch Raiza]] has a crush on [[WarriorPrince Richter]]. However, Richter outright slaps and hits her, calls her useless and frequently tries to have her replaced with more competent generals. Nevertheless, Raiza keeps trying to wiggle into his good graces ([[spoiler: and even dies doing it]]), and Richter never reciprocates.

* ''Anime/ProjectAKo'': A-ko, B-ko, and their homeroom teacher Ms. Ayumi, are in love [[{{Bishonen}} with Kei]], except he only has eyes for C-ko, who [[DoggedNiceGuy can't stand his guts]] for inadvertently diverting A-ko's attention away from her. B-ko also has feelings for C-ko, but C-ko is soley devoted to A-ko.

* ''Manga/BlackCat'' has a lot of this. Kyoko, Rinslet, Saya, and Creed all fell in love with [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Train]], though Train is mentally / emotionally immature and apparently [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} asexual]], therefore rendering all of their feelings for him unrequited. And then there's Echidna who [[LoveMartyr loves Creed]], but Creed is [[StalkerWithACrush too gay for Train to care]]. And then there's Janus' feelings for Rinslet, but Rinslet (at least in the manga) seems to be hesitant about returning his feelings due to her crush on Train. And then there's hints that Charden might like Kyoko, who explicitly states that she would like Charden if not for Train. And then there's Eve's crush on Sven, but Sven is much more concerned with Train (being Train's [[HeterosexualLifePartners Heterosexual Life Partner]] and all). [[LoveDodecahedron It's all a mess]].

* ''Manga/Reborn2004'': Tsuna has a big crush on [[SatelliteLoveInterest Kyoko]], who only seems to see him as a [[TrueCompanions really good friend]]. Kyoko herself is a whole lot more concerned with her HotBlooded brother Ryouhei (though she has also expressed slight interest in [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Gokudera]]). Gokudera, in turn, is [[StalkerWithACrush obsessively devoted to]] (and very heavily implied to be [[BodyguardCrush crushing on]]) Tsuna, who sees him as a good friend (but is also scared of his aggressiveness). Yamamoto wants Gokudera to "open his heart to him" and obviously wishes to… [[HoYay further their relationship]]; Gokudera really dislikes Yamamoto, however, and hates how Tsuna seems more comfortable with him. Ryouhei mainly just cares about living life [[CatchPhrase TO THE EXTREME]] (though he did have a small crush on adult I-Pin). I-Pin has a big crush on Hibari (who reminds her of her sensei). Hibari really only cares about having FoeRomanceSubtext with Mukuro (and later, [[spoiler: some with Tsuna]]). However, Mukuro is obsessed with having ''his'' FoeRomanceSubtext with Tsuna ("I want to possess your body" indeed). Ken and Chikusa are crazed fanboys over Mukuro, who tends to treat them like crap (save for one PetTheDog instance). Haru loves Tsuna, who ''really'' doesn't see her that way, and constantly tries to discourage her. Hana has a crush on the future Lambo, but he barely knows her since 99% of the time he's stuck ten years in the future, leaving her to interact only with his infant self (to whom she's literally allergic). While [[CasanovaWannabe Dr. Shamal]] may run after every girl who's ever passed within fifty feet of him, he has significantly more of a crush on Bianchi, who responds with [[ImprobableWeaponUser a plate of Poison Cooking to the face]]. And then there's Bianchi herself, with an unrequited love for Reborn. Oh, and Levi's undying devotion to Xanxus is as unappreciated as Genkishi's is to Byakuran. Also Squalo has a very loud love for his boss, Xanxus. Gamma is also [[BodyguardCrush rather protective]] of Uni, and had a similar relationship with her mother Aria.
