History AllLoveIsUnrequited / AnimeAndManga

* ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'': Kaname and Tessa [[LoveTriangle both love]] Sousuke. Sousuke has ''huge'' mental problems (including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and [[ChasteHero Intimacy]] [[HatesBeingTouched Issues]]) that prevent him from returning anyone's feelings until after three whole seasons, where he finally realizes he's developing feelings for Kaname. And then there's Nami, whom Sousuke later starts developing feelings for, [[spoiler: except she dies, so so much for that]]. And Lemon had feelings for Nami, but she likes Sousuke. Then there's Tsubaki, who has a crush on Kaname, and feels a great rivalry towards Sousuke, who doesn't care. And [[AlphaBitch Mizuki]], in turn, has a (very) unrequited crush on Tsubaki. And then there's Leonard, who is in love/lust/whatever with Kaname, who dislikes him. To add to the mix, there's Ena Saeki, who had a crush on Sousuke, who [[HairTriggerTemper thought she was a terrorist]]. More weirdly, Gauron, Sousuke's AxCrazy psychopath ArchEnemy, is [[StalkerWithACrush obsessively in love with him]]. In a [[NoYay creepy]], [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence violent]] way. And the two twins Gauron raised, Yu Fan and Yu Lan, desperately love [[AbusiveParents Gauron]] (and [[{{Twincest}} each other]]). Then Gates has an unhealthy pedophile obsession with the twins. This whole thing gets a lot worse when you add how a huge portion of the students at school have secret crushes / are lusting after Sousuke into the mix.

* ''Manga/MoreThanAMarriedCoupleButNotLovers'': There are several chains of unrequited affection as the LoveDodecahedron expands. Jiro had one-sided feelings for Shiori. Shiori likes Jiro in high school, but then he starts falling for Akari who was in love with Minami [[spoiler:who in turn has feelings unrequited feelings for a former tutor]]. Oh, and Shiro's best friend Mei might have feelings for her.

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'': Kaname and Tessa [[LoveTriangle both love]] Sousuke. Sousuke has ''huge'' mental problems (including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and [[ChasteHero Intimacy]] [[HatesBeingTouched Issues]]) that prevent him from returning anyone's feelings until after three whole seasons, where he finally realizes he's developing feelings for Kaname. And then there's Nami, whom Sousuke later starts developing feelings for, [[spoiler: except she dies, so so much for that]]. And Lemon had feelings for Nami, but she likes Sousuke.

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':

* In ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'', [[SugarAndIcePersonality Shizuku]], [[HotLibrarian Akane]] and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Mikoto]] all like Natsuru, who is [[SatelliteLoveInterest hopelessly]] in love with Kaede, who in turn lusts for [[AttractiveBentGender Female Natsuru]]. Probably the only reason why the girls haven't given up on him is that they know that hell will freeze before Kaede likes Male Natsuru. It's also not helped by the fact that there's certainly some amount of [[spoiler: Mind Control]] going on and Kaede is revealed to be [[spoiler:The BigBad]]. It doesn't look good for anybody…

* In ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', the shrine maiden [[TheMedic Sylphiel]] has feelings for [[IdiotHero Gourry]], who in turn is: a) oblivious to them, b) too stupid to notice anyway, and c) beginning to [[BodyguardCrush fall for Lina, the heroine, who he's been traveling with.]] There is also the sorceress Eris, who loves [[EvilSorcerer Rezo]], the DiscOneFinalBoss of the first season/first several novels; he is far too obsessed with trying to cure his blindness to love another; another unrequited one for him is the anime-exclusive mechanical doll Ozzel. Meanwhile, [[{{Pollyanna}} Amelia]] has notable feelings for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Zelgadis]] in the anime (not in the novels, given the NoHuggingNoKissing Rule by its author), but he either doesn't care or tries to avoid them. He ''does'' show care and concern for her at times and can talk to her casually, but he also gets fed up with her easily. Manga and game adaptations, however, have him somewhat reciprocate them. Also, in the novel, [[TheRival Luke]] loves his partner [[MoralityChain Milina]], who doesn't give a flying crud. In the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga, though, she sort of returns his feelings.

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'':

* In ''LightNovel/SorcererStabberOrphen'', Azalie was in love with Childman but he rejected her. Ellis is in love with Majik, but he's ObliviousToLove. Cleao struggles with her feelings for Orphen towards the end of the first season, but their relationship in the second one is more LikeBrotherAndSister. A case can be made for [[HoYay Hartia being in love with Orphen]], too.

* Rampant in ''LightNovel/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'': Emperor Shi Ryuuki loves Kou Shuurei, who refuses to consider marriage because she's focused on her political career. Ran Shuuei loves Shusui, who loves Kou Shouka, who loves his dead wife Shokun. Emperor Shi Senka loved a woman he couldn't marry and had six concubines he couldn't love, leading to masses of resentment from all of them. There are a ''few'' instances of couples who manage to have requited relationships--to Eigetsu and Kourin, Sa Kokujun and Sa Shunki, Tei Yuushun and Sai Rin--but they're all secondary characters and they still have to [[EarnYourHappyEnding work for it]].

* In ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', the shrine maiden [[TheMedic Sylphiel]] has feelings for [[IdiotHero Gourry]], who in turn is: a) oblivious to them, b) too stupid to notice anyway, and c) beginning to [[BodyguardCrush fall for Lina, the heroine, who he's been traveling with.]] There is also the sorceress Eris, who loves [[EvilSorcerer Rezo]], the DiscOneFinalBoss of the first season/first several novels; he is far too obscessed with trying to cure his blindness to love another; another unrequited one for him is the anime-exclusive mechanical doll Ozzel. Meanwhile, [[{{Pollyanna}} Amelia]] has notable feelings for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Zelgadis]] in the anime (not in the novels, given the NoHuggingNoKissing Rule by its author), but he either doesn't care or tries to avoid them. He ''does'' show care and concern for her at times and can talk to her casually, but he also gets fed up with her easily. Manga and game adaptations, however, have him somewhat reciporacate them. Also, in the novel, [[TheRival Luke]] loves his partner [[MoralityChain Milina]], who doesn't give a flying crud. In the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga, though, she sort of returns his feelings.

* ''Anime/ImGonnaBeAnAngel'': Noelle loves Yusuke, who loves Natsumi, who loves her deceased brother Fuyuki-meaning Raphael, who loves Mikael, who seems to be interested in Noelle in 'that' way. And it's just the beggining. There's also Muse, who loves Eros, who loves Silky, who has weird fixation on Noelle]], etc.

** Light was using Misa and Takada's affections for his own purposes. And that's ''all'' the romance between any of the main characters that is shown. Chief Yagami and Aizawa are married but their wives are almost never seen, and the flirting between Matsuda and Light's sister Sayu never goes anywhere ([[OverprotectiveDad not that the Chief would have allowed it to]]).

* ''Manga/BlackClover:'' [[{{Tsundere}} Noelle]], [[CommonalityConnection Rebecca]] and [[UptownGirl Mimosa]] all have a crush on [[StockShonenHero Asta]] while [[LadyOfWar Charlotte]] has a crush on [[DarkIsNotEvil Yami]], while in both cases the guy is ObliviousToLove. [[BigEater Charmy]] and [[ElementalEmbodiment Bell]] both have a crush on [[TheRival Yuno]], [[TheStoic who does not care]]. Asta has a crush on [[HerosMuse Sister Lily]], [[CelibateHero who is a nun]]. [[DishingOutDirt Sol]] ([[GenderBlenderName a woman]]) has a crush on Charlotte, which seems to be a case of IncompatibleOrientation. Ironically the only major character to have a requited romance is [[ExtremeDoormat Finral]]: his CasanovaWannabe shtick hides the fact that he's in love with [[IllGirl Finnes]], who likes him too but [[SiblingTriangle is betrothed to]] [[CainAndAbel his jerkass half-brother]].

* 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 StaticCharacter 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.

* Rampant in ''LightNovel/SaiunkokuMonogatari'': Emperor Shi Ryuuki loves Kou Shuurei, who refuses to consider marriage because she's focused on her political career. Ran Shuuei loves Shusui, who loves Kou Shouka, who loves his dead wife Shokun. Emperor Shi Senka loved a woman he couldn't marry and had six concubines he couldn't love, leading to masses of resentment from all of them. There are a ''few'' instances of couples who manage to have requited relationships--to Eigetsu and Kourin, Sa Kokujun and Sa Shunki, Tei Yuushun and Sai Rin--but they're all secondary characters and they still have to [[EarnYourHappyEnding work for it]].

* In ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'', [[SugarAndIcePersonality Shizuku]], [[HotLibrarian Akane]] and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Mikoto]] all like Natsuru, who is [[SatelliteLoveInterest hopelessly]] in love with [[SchoolgirlLesbians Kaede]], who in turn lusts for [[AttractiveBentGender Female Natsuru]]. Probably the only reason why the girls haven't given up on him is that they know that hell will freeze before Kaede likes Male Natsuru. It's also not helped by the fact that there's certainly some amount of [[spoiler: Mind Control]] going on and Kaede is revealed to be [[spoiler:The BigBad]]. It doesn't look good for anybody…

* The manga ''Manga/ScumsWish'' (''Kuzu no Honkai'') is built around this trope. OrdinaryHighschoolStudent Hanabi is in love with her endearingly hapless teacher and childhood friend Kanai, who in turn is in love with his coworker HotTeacher Minagawa. The other high-school protagonist, Mugi, is also in love with Minagawa. When Kanai and Minagawa start to show affections for each other, both Hanabi and Mugi realize [[HopelessSuitor their situations are hopeless]]. Bonding over their similar despair, the two [[UndercoverAsLovers pretend to start dating]].[[note]]Their actual relationship is somewhere between JustFriends and FriendsWithBenefits, in that, while they are close friends and confidants, they have no romantic feelings for each other but engage in SexForSolace, each pretending the other is their crush, and have strict rules on how far they can go so that they don't ruin their friendship.[[/note]] It is later revealed that Hanabi’s best friend, Ebato, has a secret [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbian crush on Hanabi]], which will never be requited due to IncompatibleOrientation. Meanwhile, it turns out that Minagawa [[spoiler:is actually just leading Kanai on because [[{{sadist}} she enjoys seeing the pained look on Hanabi’s face]]]]; thus Kanai’s love for her is also unrequited. On top of all that, Mugi's ChildhoodFriend Noriko is in love with '''him''', and has thought of him as her "prince" since kindergarten, and Ebato's [[KissingCousins cousin]] Atsuya is in love with her.

** And by chapter 13 (anime episode 12), Kousiri's admiration of Ayame becomes [[SchoolgirlLesbians a full-blown girl-crush]], which doesn't go unnoticed as Ayame makes it clear that [[IncompatibleOrientation the feeling isn't mutual.]]

* ''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 [[{{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]].

* This is the problem facing Serena during the XY arc of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. She has two guys crushing on her (recurring characters Tierno and Trevor), but she's in love with the ultimate ChasteHero, Ash "ObliviousToLove" Ketchum. To make it even worse for her, EveryoneCanSeeIt except Mr. Oblivious.

* ''Manga/BlackClover:'' [[{{Tsundere}} Noelle]], [[CommonalityConnection Rebecca]] and [[UptownGirl Mimosa]] all have a crush on [[StockShonenHero Asta]] while [[LadyOfWar Charlotte]] and [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Vanessa]] both have a crush on [[DarkIsNotEvil Yami]], while in both cases the guy is ObliviousToLove. [[BigEater Charmy]] and [[ElementalEmbodiment Bell]] both have a crush on [[TheRival Yuno]], [[TheStoic who does not care]]. Asta has a crush on [[HerosMuse Sister Lily]], [[CelibateHero who is a nun]]. [[DishingOutDirt Sol]] ([[GenderBlenderName a woman]]) has a crush on Charlotte, which seems to be a case of IncompatibleOrientation. Ironically the only major character to have a requited romance is [[ExtremeDoormat Finral]]: his CasanovaWannabe shtick hides the fact that he's in love with [[IllGirl Finnes]], who likes him too but [[SiblingTriangle is betrothed to]] [[CainAndAbel his jerkass half-brother]].

* ''Manga/AoNoFlag'' has the situation between the main characters. Taichi is playing TheMatchmaker for the shy Kuze and his ChildhoodFriend Mita. He starts falling for Kuze, who is interested in Mita and [[spoiler:Mita is apparently interested in Taichi. Kuze's closest friend, Itachi, is in love with her as well]].

* In regards to ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'':
** England MAY have got a 100-years-long and currently non-returned crush on America. The most obvious hint is the Valentines strip where England gives America some chocolates while blushing and being all embarrassed. America giving [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage mixed signals]] (mocking England in one moment, claiming to be hurt because England didn't give him Valentine's chocolates in the next) doesn't exactly help matters, and neither does the fact that they're both {{Tsundere}} and * heavy* on the "tsun".
** Unrequited love is the basis of the whole Belarus/Russia/Lithuania love triangle as well. [[{{Yandere}} Belarus]] likes Russia, Russia likes Lithuania ([[PsychopathicManchild sorta]]), [[TheWoobie Lithuania]] likes Belarus, and [[LoveDodecahedron it goes downhill from there]]. There's also some degree of speculation about [[WholesomeCrossdresser Poland's]] feelings for Lithuania being not 100% platonic.
** Korea's [[BrotherSisterIncest incestuous affections]] towards China and Japan aren't exactly requited either.
** If you read a bit more on it, cases can be made for Prussia and Switzerland having unlucky {{Childhood Friend Romance}}s towards Hungary and Austria, respectively.
** It's also worth noting that [[WordOfGod according to the author's notes]] on the Greece/Japan/Turkey LoveTriangle, both arrows pointing to Japan are one-sided. Even if you take the common view that Japan does reciprocate Greece's feelings or could potentially does so, that still leaves Turkey in the lurch. In fact, it's pretty hard ''not'' to see Turkey as a third wheel in the strips he gets with Japan and Greece, considering how almost all the ShipTease for the triangle goes to Japan and Greece. Add to that the beta version of the Drama CD revealing Turkey to have been in love with Ancient Greece aka Greece's ''MissingMom'' who he eventually killed, and his potential FoeRomanceSubtext with Greece who loathes him and is sweet on Japan in at least half of all fanworks and goes "I don't ''completely'' hate you…" at ''best'' in other fanworks, and well… let's face it, the poor guy is a HopelessSuitor.
** [[GentleGiant Sweden]] at one point refers to his friend Finland as his "wife," and character notes mention that Sweden is gay, [[SingleTargetSexuality but only has feelings for Finland]]. Finland is freaked out by it, and tells Sweden not to joke like that. Though he both likes and looks up to Sweden, his feelings for him seem to stop at [[OddFriendship close friendship]].

%%* ''Manga/HoneyAndClover''.

* ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''. 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.
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' can hardly avoid this when the object of affections is a ten or [[YearInsideHourOutside elevenish]] year old AdorablyPrecociousChild ObliviousToLove who thinks of them all as students/sisters/friends. The only other love relations seen so far are [[PsychoLesbian Tsukuyomi]] → Setsuna, Asuna → Takamichi, which he feels too inferior for, [[StalkerWithACrush Evangeline]] → Nagi and Natsumi → Kotarou, who is also oblivious to love. There's also the FoeRomanceSubtext between Fate/Negi. Negi is apparently the only person who interests Fate enough for him to smile slightly during their battles together. He also appears very entertained when Negi starts to prove himself to be a worthy opponent, his penchant for invading Negi's personal space, or how he apparently thinks about Negi when they're not fighting sometimes. The only requited loves are [[spoiler:Konoka/Setsuna ([[HideYourLesbians albeit only by implication]]) and Kotarou/Natsumi]].

** ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': The only reciprocal relations are Akane and Ranma's BelligerentSexualTension and Ryoga meeting Akari late in the manga and beginning to move on from Akane. Ranma only see Ukyo as his friend, Akane never notices Ryoga likes her, and Shampoo, Mousse, and both the Kuno siblings are flat-out rejected if not [[AbhorrentAdmirer despised]] by the object of their affection.

** The DistantFinale and the canon film ''[[Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie The Last]]'' ''finally'' resolved the romances: [[spoiler:Shikamaru marries Temari, Ino marries Sai, Naruto marries Hinata, and Sakura marries Sasuke]].

** ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku''. Until the final season which finally untangles the complex relationships virtually all the love is unrequited. Even poor Kentaro (a minor character, the ten year old OnlySaneMan) doesn't escape it. The first season [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHiHy6R-6Wg&fmt=18 ending song]] exemplifies the angst that can develop from this trope. [[spoiler: Although in this series all of Takahashi's characters get a happy ending]].
** ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': According to Creator/RumikoTakahashi, this is because all the side characters in the Love Chart were merely obstacles to Akane and Ranma's eventual hook up. Yes, even Mousse. The only reason Ryōga became the lone exception was because the fans demanded his happiness.

* ''Manga/BlackClover:'' [[{{Tsundere}} Noelle]], [[CommonalityConnection Rebecca]] and [[UptownGirl Mimosa]] all have a crush on [[StandardShonenProtagonist Asta]] while [[LadyOfWar Charlotte]] and [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Vanessa]] both have a crush on [[DarkIsNotEvil Yami]], while in both cases the guy is ObliviousToLove. [[BigEater Charmy]] and [[ElementalEmbodiment Bell]] both have a crush on [[TheRival Yuno]], [[TheStoic who does not care]]. Asta has a crush on [[HerosMuse Sister Lily]], [[VowsOfCelibacy who is a nun]]. [[DishingOutDirt Sol]] ([[GenderBenderName a woman]]) has a crush on Charlotte, which seems to be a case of IncompatibleOrientation. Ironically the only major character to have a requited romance is [[ExtremeDoormat Finral]]: his CasanovaWannabe shtick hides the fact that he's in love with Finnes, who likes him too but [[SiblingTriangle is betrothed to his brother]].

* In ''Manga/FullMoonOSagashite'', Izumi loves Meroko who loves Takuto who loves Mitsuki who can't get over [[spoiler:her dead childhood friend]]. Cue large helpings of {{Wangst}} (which isn't helped by [[spoiler:Mitsuki's certain death in almost a year's time]]).

** Lastly, the show's entire premise apparently sat squarely on top this trope, as its definitive ending [[{{Anvilicious}} literally hung]] [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped on the truth]] of All Love being Unrequited. [[spoiler:During the Tang sequence in]] ''[[spoiler:The End of Evangelion]]''[[spoiler:, the series central characters only meet their end after each one is visited by the one person that they loved the most--notice that none of these characters ever received this kind of love from these people until this point.]]

* ''Manga/AraburuKisetsuNoOtomeDomoYo'': Momoko Sudo has a one-sided crush on her friend Niina Sugawara. Unfortunately for her, Sugawara develops feelings for Izumi Norimoto thus causing Momoko to become depressed over it.

* In ''Manga/TaiyouNoIe'',literally the only happy relationship was between Hiro's (dead) parents.

* In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' Trunks has a crush on Mai but she is not notoriously more interested in him, and much less after the arrival of Future Trunks. [[Main/SubvertedTrope However]], in the final episode of Goku Black Saga, she throws a smile at Trunks when he looks at her, which might suggest that she took interest, [[Main/DoubleSubversion but]] later when she is sad about the departure of Future Trunks, Pilaf tells her that she still has the present Trunks, and she simply responds by giving him a judo throw, which means that she will not give in to such an idea.
