In non-harem nekketsu shounen, when it comes to romantic subplot, its usually one of the two common options:

-If it has a main girl as one of the potential love interests for the protagonist, she will win most of the time. Bonus point if she has an active personality. On the other hand, it is also more common for the MC to ends up with a fighting heroine than a support type, even if vice versa.

-No one will win the M Cbowl and thus no pairings at the end of the run. Romantic tease is left unsolved.

Anyways, the only reason I asked is because when I go to some forums (/a/ specifically) I'm probably not the only one who gets sick of people saying all non-harem shounen (that fits the above first option) have the MC ending up with a side girl even if they read outside of the big 3, particularly if she's a girly crush when such thing wasn't always prominent. 7 times out of 10 any non-harem shounen with a main girl as the potential love interest will have her win the M Cbowl.

What do you think?

Its to make shounen readers realize of the very surprising facts I was talking about after doing a great deal of research before, mind you.

Im just curious as in how people who read some shounen will think of it.
