History OneTrueThreesome / AnimeAndManga

* ''Anime/MyHime'' fandom tends to gravitate heavily toward Shizuru/Natsuki/Nao, but there are also a good deal of supporters of the main PowerTrio of Natsuki/Mai/Mikoto. Those who are less fixated on the GirlsLove and DieForOurShip have been known to upgrade Mai/Mikoto/Yuuichi, hinted at in the GrandFinale, into a full-fledged threesome as well. The ''Manga/MyHime'' [[AlternateContinuity manga]] seemed to suggest Natsuki/Mai/Yuichi, with Mikoto and Shizuru both OutOfFocus.

* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' fans and their Allen/Kanda/Lavi, their Lenalee/Allen/Lavi, their Kanda/Lenalee/Lavi, their Lavi/Allen/Kanda, or their Tyki/Allen/Lavi, or Tyki/Allen/Kanda, or their Lenalee/Allen/Miranda. Heck, there's even a very popular [=OT4=] pairing of Kanda/Lavi/Allen/Lenalee... which is actually kind of supported in the ''[[http://xmikanx.livejournal.com/1714.html Kuro no Bansankai]]'' Drama CD. It pretty much consists of Allen, Kanda, and Lavi being tricked into getting absolutely drunk and answering questions about their true feelings about Lenalee (with them whining about what troubles them about her, and what they like about her), which ends with them summarizing that they all like her. And with the way that they all seemed very amiable and non-possessive about it, a foursome doesn't seem ''entirely'' out of the question…

** Fubuki/Hiroto/Kazemaru is also fairly popular on Website/{{Pixiv}}, if only because they're some of the most popular characters. It even has a tag named [[PortmanteauCoupleName Fubukiyamaru]].

* ''Anime/{{K}}'': Some fans ship Izumo/Mikoto/Tosuka as an [=OT3=], given the trio's relationship pre-HOMRA.

** Jonathan/Erina/Speedwagon has a small following for similar reasons.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': Take your pick: Mami/Madoka/Homura, Mami/Kyouko/Sayaka, or Sayaka/Madoka/Homura. The end of ''The Different Story'' outright [[ShipTease teases]] Mami/Kyouko/Sayaka (at the very least they would make a nice {{Ship Mate|s}} to Madoka/Homura). Then there are a handful of fans who decide to solve all shipping issues by [[https://images.puella-magi.net/2/25/Yuri_relationship_map.jpg?20111017194146 shipping the whole quintet together]], thus creating an ot''5.''

** The true [=OT3=] of ''Fruits Basket'' is the [[ThreeAmigos Mabudachi Trio]] -- Shigure, Hatori, and Ayame. While this grouping has died down due to a loss of focus in the later volumes, this was one of the strongest threesomes in the fandom and was very obviously helped by Shigure and Ayame playing up the HoYay.

* ''Manga/WelcomeToDemonSchoolIrumaKun'': Iruma/Asmodeus/Clara. While the ship is not as popular as [[HoYay Iruma/Asmodeus]], it still has a devoted following due to their chemistry and how close they are to each other, even calling each other soulmates. Asmodeus and Clara have a loving yet belligerent relationship with each other, always bickering and teasing each other, and both of them are utterly devoted to Iruma individually: Asmodeus has a collection of pictures and newspaper clips of Iruma's greatest moments, constantly talks about how awesome "Iruma-sama" is and has made it his life's mission to be by his side through all adversities; meanwhile, Clara tried to seduce Iruma to keep him by her side when she thought Ameri was monopolizing his time, constantly competes with Asmodeus for the position of "Iruma-chi"'s BFF, and wouldn't mind marrying Iruma one day. Iruma, on his part, considers them both his dearest friends, to the point that once they're finally reunited after the Harvest Festival ends, he ''physically can't let go'' of their arms during the after-party. The three share many tender moments together, such as Clara singing Asmodeus and Iruma to sleep while they [[LapPillow lay their heads on her lap]], or Asmodeus willingly getting himself disqualified from the Harvest Festival to protect Iruma and Clara from Orobas.

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' has a real-life and in-universe example. Initially, [[PluckyGirl Atra]] was conflicted whether she should form a romantic relationship with the hero [[ActionHero Mikazuki]], feeling that he might be better off with [[{{Ojou}} Kudelia]]. But after realizing how Naze Turbine has multiple wives, Atra comes to the realization that she could share Mika with Kudelia. Plus, she may be at least [[AmbiguouslyBi a little attracted to her as well]]. [[spoiler:Had Mikazuki not died in the end, the three would've had a huge chance to go the polyamory way. Though at least Atra and Kudelia ''do'' stay together and raise Atra and Mikazuki's child Akatsuki.]]

* ''Franchise/LupinIII'': Since the main CaperCrew of Lupin/Jigen/Goemon has three members, naturally there's people who'd ship them with each other. With or [[HoYay without]] Fujiko, or [[FoeYay Zenigata]], thrown into the mix as well.

Though at least Atra and Kudelia ''do'' stay together [[HasTwoMommies and raise Atra and Mikazuki's child Akatsuki]].]]

** Considering that two of the three are canonically lesbians and the three of them [[HasTwoMommies raise little Hotaru together]], Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna are often shipped as a threesome.

** The most popular is Yuuri/Victor/Yurio. Yuuri is all but stated to be bisexual, Victor is clearly crushing on him [[spoiler: and they hook up midway through the series]] and Yurio is [[CrazyJealousGuy clearly clingy]] to Victor ([[spoiler: plus he's strongly implied to be an orphan [[RaisedByGrandparents raised by his grandpa]]]]), so the fans who neither [[BaseBreakingCharacter bash Yurio]] for being a BrattyHalfPint nor ship him with his ForgottenChildhoodFriend Otabek... have happily taken to either have him as [[HasTwoMommies Yuuri and Victor's sort-of "adoptive son"]] or shipping him with the other two.

* ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'':

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'':

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'':

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Kyon/Haruhi/Mikuru, Kyon/Haruhi/Yuki, and Haruhi/Kyon/Itsuki. It helps that Haruhi is canonically bisexual and Itsuki is... [[AmbiguouslyGay something]].

* Being a harem and all, ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' does have a popular [=OT3=] in the form of [[ChivalrousPervert Issei]]/[[TeamMom Rias]]/[[NumberTwo Akeno]]. Issei's nature as a [[LoveableSexManiac shameless]] but [[NiceGuy devoted]] HaremSeeker (thus earning him [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan the affection of]] [[ChickMagnet several different women]]), the HomoeroticSubtext between Rias and Akeno (such as [[ChessMotifs Akeno being Rias's Queen]]), and [[TheTease Akeno's]] stated desire to be TheMistress to [[ClingyJealousGirl Rias's]] TopWife in their BattleHarem makes this scenario ''completely feasible''. [[spoiler:And, as the ''EX'' novel reveals, '''it's canon'''... with the added wrinkle that Issei goes on to {{marry|ThemAll}} ''[[MarryThemAll all]]'' of his female love interests within the [[TrueCompanions Occult Research Club]] and several more outside of it!]]

* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' has the mildly popular Ichika/Charlotte/Laura threesome. Notable since there are a few hints that it could be possible in canon; Charlotte and Laura are good friends, and Charlotte has been [[ShipperOnDeck pushing Laura to get closer to Ichika]].

* It's not hard to imagine a Ryuuji/Taiga/Kushieda relationship in ''{{LightNovel/Toradora}}'', since both male/female pairs in the trio have unambiguous mutual attractions, and Taiga/Kushieda are about as close to schoolgirl lesbians as you can get without it actually being canonical.

** Togo is in love with Yuna but it's also implied she loved Sonoko in the past too. Fans are split between Togo and Yuna's relationship in ''Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero'' and Togo (or [[spoiler:"Washio" as she was called]]) and Sonoko's in ''LightNovel/WashioSumiIsAHero'', so many just ship them all together. Sometimes Karin is added in.

** [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist 2003 fans]] have their own set. [[IncestYayShipping Alphonse/Edward]]/Alfons is extremely popular despite [[spoiler:Alfons ''dying'' before he even meets Al]]. Rose/Ed/Winry, Ed/Roy/Riza, Roy/Ed/Alfons, Roy/Ed/Al, and Ed/Alfons/Noah aren't unheard of solutions to end the ShipToShipCombat.

** Thanks to its infamous shipping community, the list of pairings that exist include, but are not limited to, Ash/Misty/Brock, Ash/Gary/Misty, Ash/Pikachu/Misty, Ash/May/Misty, Ash/May/Brock, Ash/May/Drew, Ash/May/Dawn, Ash/Dawn/Brock, Ash/Misty/May/Dawn, Ash/Iris/Cilan, Ash/Misty/Iris, Ash/Serena/Clemont, Ash/Misty/Serena, Ash/Misty/Serena/May, Ash/Lillie/Mallow, Ash/Mallow/Lana, Ash/Misty/Lana, Ash/Lana/Lillie/Mallow, Ash/Chloe/Goh…

* The ''Anime/InazumaEleven'' fandom has a few threesomes, but the most popular ones would be:

* Being a harem and all, ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' does have a popular [=OT3=] in the form of [[ChivalrousPervert Issei]]/[[TeamMom Rias]]/[[NumberTwo Akeno]]. Issei's nature as a [[LoveableSexManiac shameless]] but [[NiceGuy devoted]] HaremSeeker (thus earning him [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan the affection of]] [[ChickMagnet several different women]]), the HomoeroticSubtext between Rias and Akeno (such as [[ChessMotifs Akeno being Rias's Queen]]), and [[TheTease Akeno's]] stated desire to be TheMistress to [[ClingyJealousGirl Rias's]] TopWife in their BattleHarem makes this scenario ''completely feasible''.

* ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'' gives us Legosi/Haru/Louis. Legosi is the main character and Haru is his LoveInterest. As for Loius, he has canonically slept with Haru and it was implied that he might have had deeper feelings for her, and his interactions with Legosi are positively ''dripping'' with HoYay.
** Some fans take this even further into a Foursome by adding Juno into the mix, as she has been attracted both to Legosi and Louis, and has canonically had sexual relations with the latter.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': With so many characters and the storytelling style, it's no surprise that there many of these. Among the most popular are Soifon/Yoruichi/Urahara, Rukia/Ichigo/Orihime, Renji/Rukia/Ichigo, Ichigo/Orihime/Ishida, Hitsugaya/Matsumoto/Hinamori and Chad/Ichigo/Orihime . FoeYayShipping examples include Ichigo/Orihime/Ulquiorra, Ichigo/Orihime/Grimmjow, and Ishida/Nemu/Mayuri.

* Rare in ''Manga/DeathNote'' fics, mainly because most conceivable combinations would involve a female somewhere, and the shipping part of the fandom is mostly into HoYay, but more common examples can be found in Mello-Near-Halle, Light-L-Misa, Light-Misa-Takada, Light-Mikami-Misa and Light-Mikami-Takada advocates, L-Light-Matsuda, and you'll occasionally see Ryuk-Light-L, and some Misa-Sayu-Matsuda (considering older!Sayu's fangirling of Misa as well as Matsuda's crush on her) while some rare Melloshippers throw Mello-Matt-Near together. There's also Beyond-L-Naomi, [[http://2yarik-aka-gingi.deviantart.com/art/Meet-BBxLxLight-126924658 Beyond-L-Light]], and [[http://bret13.deviantart.com/art/A-bite-for-the-sake-of-Mikami-199207526 L-Light-Mikami]]. [[BrotherSisterIncest Light-Misa-Sayu]] has been shipped as well, but [[Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami not seriously]].

* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'':
** The flagship [=OT3=] is Heero/Duo/Relena, somewhat rare due to Relena's [[DieForOurShip unpopularity]] among the rabid {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s.
** Don't forget Treize/Zechs/Wufei.
** And Treize/Zechs/Une. Or Heero/Trowa/Quatre. Or my favorite: Heero/Duo/Hilde. Duo/Trowa/Quatre gets little to no love, sadly.
** ''Gundam'' {{Yuri Fan}}s seem to like Relena/Dorothy/Hilde.
* ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'' is a kind of silly example. Canon declared Rain and Domon to be the OTP, but the fans much preferred Domon with [[CuteBruiser Allenby]]. This trope was the result.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' has a real-life and in-universe example. Initially, [[PluckyGirl Atra]] was conflicted whether she should form a romantic relationship with the hero [[ActionHero Mikazuki]], feeling that he might be better off with [[TheOjou Kudelia]]. But after realizing how Naze Turbine has multiple wives, Atra comes to the realization that she could share Mika with Kudelia. Plus, she may be at least [[AmbiguouslyBi a little attracted to her as well]]. [[spoiler: Had Mikazuki not died in the end, the three would've had a huge chance to go the polyamory way. Though at least Atra and Kudelia ''do'' stay together [[HasTwoMommies and raise Atra and Mikazuki's child Akatsuki]].]]
* In ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'' Kuroo and Bokuto are shipped with multiple characters (Bokuto with Akaashi or Kuroo himself, Kuroo with Kenma, Tsukishima or Bokuto, not including rare pairings). Fans like to portray them in a poly relationship. A common combination would be Bokuto/Kuroo/Tsukishima + Akaashi sometimes.

* Being a harem and all, ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' does have a popular OT3 in the form of [[ChivalrousPervert Issei]]/[[TeamMom Rias]]/[[NumberTwo Akeno]].

* The ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' fandom gives us Joseph/Caesar/Suzie Q, seeing as Joseph/Suzie Q is canon and Joseph/Caesar is a reasonably popular ship on its own.

** Jolyne/Hermes/Foo or Jolyne/Hermes/Anasui or Jolyne/Hermes/Weather Report are all mildly popular. Essentially, Jolyne/Hermes+Any other non related and consenting age character.
** Interestingly enough most Threesomes in JJBA seem in involve a Jojo [[spoiler: + someone who performs a HeroicSacrifice.]]

* In ''Anime/KillLaKill'' two of the primary ships since episode one have been [[HoYay Ryuko/Mako]] and [[FoeYayShipping Ryuko]]/[[HoYay Satsuki]], so naturally some people starting shipping all three together. The few interactions Satsuki had with Mako has her treated considerably better than the other no-star students or even one-star students, and episode 22 has plenty of fuel. The finale ups the ante and has the three go on a date after everything is over.

* '''Manga/KoiToUso'': Lilina/Yukari/Misaki, or Lilina/Misaki/Yukari maybe given how interested Lilina is in watching Yukari and Misaki kiss...

* A notable one with ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia2017'' has [[IneptMage Akko]]/[[BlueBlood Andrew]]/[[DefrostingIceQueen Diana]] to pair Akko up with her two most popular ships and as a solution to the ShipToShipCombat between [[HoYay Diakko]] and [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl Annko]].

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Due to main character Izuku Midoriya's status as a LauncherOfAThousandShips you can take any of Izuku's LoveInterests, either canon or [[FanPreferredCouple preferred]], and stick them together with him in order to make it work. The most popular candidates tend to be, Todoroki/Midoriya/Bakugo, Iida/Midoriya/Todoroki, Uraraka/Midoriya/Tsuyu, and Iida/Midoriya/Uraraka. Not all of the UA ones feature Midoriya though, as the Iida/Yaoyorozu/Todoroki "power trio" can attest.

* Many fanworks of ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' ship any of the brothers together in various groups. There are eve those who go the ''[=OT6=]'' route and ship all six together.

** There are a few fanfics with an ''[=OT7=]!!'' featuring all 7 main characters. More common than the [=OT7=] is an [=OT5=], excluding Mori and Hunny. The rationale is usually paedophilia-related {{Squick}} that leads to not wanting to ship Hunny with anybody... and Mori would never involve himself in anything without Hunny.

** Kyouya/Tamaki/Haruhi, and at least based on the show, this one is perhaps the closest to being supported. Interestingly, [[Creator/JMichaelTatum Kyouya's English voice actor]] apparently ships it...kind of. He sees it more as an "IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy" scenario on Kyouya's part, being in love with both Tamaki and Haruhi, but wanting them to be together instead of with him because he thinks it just works better that way.

* ''Manga/PeachGirl'' has had several of these pop up, the most common being Kairi/Momo/Toji. Kairi/Ryo/Sae is less common, but not as obscure as you'd think.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Thanks to its infamous shipping community, the list of pairings that exist include, but are not limited to, Ash/Misty/Brock, Ash/Gary/Misty, Ash/Pikachu/Misty, Ash/May/Misty, Ash/May/Brock, Ash/May/Drew, Ash/May/Dawn, Ash/Dawn/Brock, Ash/Misty/May/Dawn, Ash/Iris/Cilan, Ash/Misty/Iris, Ash/Serena/Clemont, Ash/Misty/Serena, Ash/Misty/Serena/May, Ash/Lillie/Mallow, Ash/Mallow/Lana, Ash/Misty/Lana, Ash/Lana/Lillie/Mallow, Ash/Chloe/Goh…

* In ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' any region's PowerTrio (or quartet in RGBY's case) will inevitably be [=OT3'd=] but special mention goes to the [=DPPt=] crew (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum) who are basically a ''canon'' [=OT3=], being inseparable for most of their adventure and discovering just how hard it is to be separated in a powerful {{Tearjerker}}. Their story ends with all three of them basically being parents for two baby Pokemon.

* ''Manga/SoulEater'' fandom has been a suspicious rise in [[FoeYayShipping Noah/Kid/Gopher]]... and of course, Soul/Maka/Chrona (or Maka/Soul/Chrona) is amazingly popular, though not to the point of Liz/Kid/Patti. Also, although there isn't as much fanfiction and fan work done on them, Spirit/Stein/Marie is a rather popular little bit of crack in the fandom.

* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' fans who reject the WordOfGod about [[MarryThemAll the large harem]] are sometimes more willing to accept Tenchi/Ryoko/Aeka as a simple [=OT3=]. Probably because Ryoko and Aeka get way more screen time and more focus on their feelings for Tenchi than any of the others, and not to mention [[{{Polyamory}} polygamy]] is a perfectly valid option in Jurai. (Emperor Azusa has two wives, Aeka and Sasami's mom Misaki and Yosho's mom Funaho.)
