* The final ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' film revolves around a love potion that can only be acquired by the most lecherous person in the universe... who happens to be Ataru.

to:

* The final ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' has a surprisingly small amount of AppliedPhlebotinum that has some kind of effect equating to love magic, but it does appear here and there. Outside of the incredibly tacky coats that supposedly make the wearers fall in love and the cupid sprout, there are three love-inducing edibles:
** In one chapter, Ran schemes to drug Rei with komashidake mushrooms, which make whoever eats them fall in love with the first thing they see. However, her plan goes horribly wrong when the thieving Kotatsu Neko eats the food containing them first. This story got adapted into an episode of the 1981 anime.
** In the second-last chapter of the second-last volume, Ran buys magical candy called "Soul-Snatch Sugar"; whoever eats these sprouts a love heart over their head, which causes them to fall head over heels in love with whoever holds the heart. Lum ends up eating it, and HilarityEnsues. This got adapted into the {{OVA}} "Catch the Heart".

film revolves around a love potion that can only be acquired by the most lecherous person in the universe... who happens to be Ataru.

Two other girls drink it, but subversively, their talk of "doing it" turns out to be just feeding each other with chopsticks. Tayura finds out about the drink and gives some to Asahina, but instead of making her fall in love with him, she gets angrily drunk for some reason and then falls in love with the ''drink''.

* Urd of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' is well-known for her love concoctions that always backfire spectactularly - in at least one instance, they work ''too'' well. Peorth once tried to meddle with one of Urd's potions and through crazy technobabble (apparently divine medicine does not react well when placed in cola), makes Keiichi irresistible to any woman who looks at him. This unfortunately included his own sister, but eventually it was all sorted out and Urd slipped Peorth a perfectly functional love potion in revenge that had her fall in love with a Tanuki statue. It should be noted that Peorth was aiming to alter a "first person you see" variety of love potion to "love only Peorth" potion.
** Part of the reason why it failed was because Peorth altered the 'Drop of koi' (affectionate, romantic love) potion to the 'Drop of ai' (passionate love) potion. As Urd explained, it didn't work on Belldandy because it 'was not crude enough' to affect people already in love with each other - i.e. Belldandy and Keiichi.
** As far as the love overeffect goes, Urd's analysis was simply "Potions are not something amateurs ought to mess with"
*** That said, Belldandy did get hit by a potion early in the manga that had her all but jump Keiichi right then and there. (un)Fortunately (depending on how you want to look at it), Keiichi was able to talk her down out of it (he did it because he realized she was acting very out of character).
* In ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'':
** Kuroko tried to feed Mikoto an aphrodisiac, but accidentally drank it herself, which just made her hit on Mikoto more.
** In an omake, Kuroko tries to trick Mikoto into putting on sunscreen laced with an aphrodisiac, but Saten puts it on instead. The aroused Saten hits on Uiharu and Mikoto angrily beats Kuroko up. Saten eventually snaps out of it and apologizes. The ending reveals Mitsuko put the sunscreen on her pet boa constrictor, and it ''tries to rape her''.
* An episode of the ''Manga/FairyTail'' anime has Juvia buy a Love First Person Sighted type love potion to use on Gray. Not only does Gray look at the wrong person, and not only does Juvia accidentally give the potion to about a half-dozen other guild members, it turns out the potion isn't even a Love Potion but instead a [[TheRival Rivalry]] Potion causing the affected person to declare the first thing they see to be their eternal rival.
** The potion also seems to affect chacter-to-object relationships, causing Makarov to declare rivalry with a barrel of alcohol and Erza to go to war with a poor pillar blocking her path.
* This inadvertently happens to Louise towards her familiar in ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''. It's unnerving for Saito, since she's usually firmly on the 'tsun' side of {{Tsundere}}.
** Happens again in the third season as well, except this time the effect is more widespread, though mostly restricted to the female cast. Much {{Fanservice}} occurs before the effects are reversed.
** And in a side-story in the manga adaptation, where Louise is dosed with two different ''kinds'' of love potion simultaneously, and their interaction causes her to become irresistably attracted... to girls. ''All'' girls. Saito still finds this unnerving, although now it's because he can't get her to so much as glance in his direction.
* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': One of the Hokuto Ryuuken pressure points does the "wipe out your affection and then make you fall in love with the first person you see when you awaken" type of effect--making it a sort of literal love tap. [[spoiler:Grown-up Lin finds out about this point the hard way.]]

It works at first, with Tamahome even going so far as to nearly kill Miaka, his former beloved, but naturally ThePowerOfLove (and a near-fatal wounding) soon set everything right.
* Used a few times in ''Anime/GhostSweeperMikami'':
** In an early story, Yokoshima accidentally spills one on Gynoid Maria, who immediately starts chasing him -- he runs because she keeps trying to hug him with enough force to shatter boulders.
** A much later story features is set after Yokoshima gains the ability to create magic balls that generate just about any effect defined by a single character. When he gets attacked by a hot demoness, he uses one he had earlier imprinted with the character for Love.
* In the ''Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~'' BonusEpisode episode, a powerful love potion turns Rinka, Yukari and Chisa -- the three girls not heavily involved in the main series plotline -- into obsessive, saucy ladies after Haruhiko. It doesn't help that a supposed "antidote" only makes the potion's effect stronger.
* Fujiko Etou of ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao'' homebrews her own love potions and they are actually quite effective. Whether or not she gets the desired result from her plan is up for debate.
* Played for laughs in ''Manga/InuYasha'' when a mind-bending fog caused Sango, in a drunken stupor, to blatantly come on to Inu Yasha. She was just about to kiss him when the fog caused Kagome use the "sit" command on him as a SpamAttack.
* Kogarashi makes a lover potion in episode 3 of ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'' to help Naeka get over her [[AllergicToLove love issues]]. It works flawlessly, other than the fact that it caused her to fall in love with [[LesYay Fubuki]].
* In the ''LightNovel/{{Kanokon}}'' anime, Chizuru's mother passes out some love-at-first-sight drink to her guests. Kouta is affected as intended and temporarily falls in love with Nozomu. Two other girls drink it, but subversively, their talk of "doing it" turns out to be just feeding each other with chopsticks. Tayura finds out about the drink and gives some to Asahina, but instead of making her fall in love with him, she gets angrily drunk for some reason and then falls in love with the ''drink''.
* This is the main plot of ''Manga/MagicalPokemonJourney''. Hazel has repeatedly been trying to use love potions to get Almond to fall in love with her. The story opens with Hazel attempting to administer such a love potion, accidentally blowing him up in the process. The rest of the series is about Hazel catching Pokémon for "mad scientist" Grandpa, in exchange for a love potion that actually works.
** Later on, Coconut manages to invent a love potion that will cause whoever drinks it to fall madly in love with her. Instead, it turns out that it will make whoever drinks it fall in love with the first person he or she sees - and it didn't even go to the right person. So, while Coconut was trying to make Almond fall in love with her, she accidentally caused a Primeape to fall in love with Eevee.
*** In a tie-in ''Pokémon'' book for kids, Ash has to deal with the chaos resulting from a Love Potion making two Pokémon fall in love. The inventor says Ash should use it to [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction catch Pokémon]]. He turns it down.
*** One episode has this happen with Pikachu and Piplup. Both of them are male.
* A love potion figures into episodes 2 and 3 of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''. This one works a bit differently, however: it makes the person who consumes it irresistible to the opposite sex. Negi brews it to give to Asuna as an apology for embarassing her in front of Mr. Takahata, but because she's angry at him she pours it down Negi's throat before he can explain how it works, with [[LoveIsInTheAir predictable results]].
** Later, in volume 7 of the manga, Asuna finds herself fighting off her uncontrollably growing feelings for Negi as she helps him deal with some business. Just as she's all but ready to give in (or kill herself), though, he innocently warns her about the fact that the chocolates on his desk, one of which she stole at the beginning of the chapter without him looking, was in fact a love potion of the "Fall in love with the first person you see" variety.
** In volume 9 of the manga, there's another love potion-class effect, "confessing under a world tree". In this case, the problem is treated seriously, and we even get some sort of explanation why things like these are bad - this has a chance to become a one-sided love. A very strong [[LoveHurts one-sided love]] where the other side is magically unable to refuse. All of the magic population were dispatched to prevent such a confession from happening. Nevertheless, once again Negi ends up on the wrong end of it, with a simple request for a kiss turning him into an unstoppable {{Determinator}} with MindControlEyes who only comes to his senses after he French-kisses at least one of his targets, nearly suffocating her in the process.
*** At least, once snapped out of it, he has no memories of how far he went, which prevents further grief and awkwardness.
*** Also, at the beginning of the same arc, Kamo reveals to Negi that love potions are indeed illegal (but not as serious as the tree spell because they are temporary).
*** The most recent mention of love potions was when the group arrived in the magical world. Haruna asked their guide if she'd be able to buy love potions somewhere, the guide reiterated that they are illegal.
* When Nagasumi takes one in ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'', he gets every girl in the show, including the assassin and his ''mother'' falling in love with him. It has the unfortunate side effect of all men hating him, though.
** Not that most of the men in the series don't hate him anyway...
* In episode 5 of ''Manga/NininGaShinobuden'', the ninjas make a Love Potion for Miyabi. Before she can use it, Onsokumaru drinks it, thinking it'll make him into a ChickMagnet. Unfortunately for him, it's the much more common "fall-in-love-with-the-first-person-you-see" type. As soon as he realizes this, he covers his eyes and tries to locate Shinobu. They get around the problem by [[spoiler:getting him to open his eyes in front of a mirror]]. Naturally, this changes nothing.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', being a LoveDodecahedron played for comedy, features a ''lot'' of AppliedPhlebotinum that has some kind of effect equating to love magic. None of these ever solved anything, but they did make for good excuses for slapstick zaniness. We start with pills that cause whoever swallows one to fall for the first person of the opposite sex, with a duration of either one instant, one day, or the ingester's entire life. Then comes an actual RedStringOfFate. An umbrella that enthralls whoever is [[UmbrellaOfTogetherness sharing it]]. A bandaid impregnated with a potent potion that makes the wearer chase after girls/guys when it gets warm. Mushrooms that, when stewed, act as a love potion. Those are just a few examples -- and we're still not even getting into all of the MindControlDevice items.
* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'': In the first chapter of Season II (the manga, not the anime), Yukari slips Moka a love potion to get her to express her true feelings as part of her dream of [[BiTheWay having a threesome with Moka and Tsukune]]; the effect is similar to an aphrodisiac.
* There's a ''Manga/TsukiyomiMoonPhase'' H-doujin where Hazuki tries to make the main guy into her love-slave with a love potion she stole from his grandfather. Unfortunately for her, the potion turns out to be a ''powerful'' aphrosidiac, and since this ''is'' a H-doujin, the predictable happens.
* The final ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' film revolves around a love potion that can only be acquired by the most lecherous person in the universe... who happens to be Ataru.
* This is one of the witch powers in ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches''. It can be used to build a group of flunkies to do your bidding because they worship you. It's been suggested you could build a harem with it. But we have also seen the potential for the power to [[spoiler:teach people the power of love. To make them feel what it is like to actually love someone, providing them with loyalty and a sense of purpose.]]
* One episode of ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' is about a monster being able to make two people fall in love. The entire episode it tries to make Cutey fall in love to get her distracted and thus being able to kill her, but only sends half the town into a mad love for her. At the end, it finally hits her and thus not only disarms her, but even makes her willingly walk towards it as she is in love with it now [[spoiler: , which is a trick by Honey, as she had looked at herself in the window when she was hit, so she fell in love with herself, not the monster and is thus still able to defeat it.]]
