They were so heavily hinted at that fans went crazy, bombarding {{CLAMP}} Creator/{{CLAMP}} with questions and begging that they eventually said ''"Screw it!"'' and rolled with it. Took a few years too because they wanted to keep it ambiguous. Fans won out.

** Also, Sweden and Finland, in a one-sided sense. But the fact that Sweden is [[WordOfGay officially gay]] and Finland is his [[SingleTargetSexuality single-target sexuality]] makes it even more canon.
* ''Manga/BambooBlade'': Dan ([[{{Gonk}} short and acorn-headed]]) and Miyako Miyazaki. The cast is still trying to figure out how this one works, although it helps Miya Miya is also a gag character who flips between sweet and [[{{Yandere}} psycho]].
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Guts and Casca grew to love each other despite their initial BelligerentSexualTension until they [[spoiler:made love]] and became a couple. Griffith's betrayal and the Eclipse created a gulf between them, making the two into StarCrossedLovers, but Guts has since decided that he will stay together with her [[{{Determinator}} no matter what it takes]].
* Luka and Yuki of ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName''.
* Rock and Revy of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' are ''almost'' this, due to numerous... implications.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Although the story focusses on a group of friends who fight and support each other, there is very little romance in the story and the only confirmed relationships tend to have one or both partners being deceased. These relationships only get revealed when they're relevant to the motivation of the main characters, such the back story of Ichigo and Uryuu's living fathers and deceased mothers. However, the epilogue of the story occurs after a ten-year Time Skip and does reveal that several characters get together during that time. [[spoiler:Ichigo and Orihime live together at the Kurosaki Clinic and have a son, while Renji (still Byakuya's lieutenant) and Rukia (a newly promoted captain) have a daughter.]]
* Hagino and Mari from the ''Manga/BlueDrop'' anime.
* ''Manga/BlueSeed'' had a pretty clean sweep by the end of the series:
** Momiji and Kusanagi.
** [[BetaCouple Koume and Yaegashi]] [[spoiler:They're engaged by the end of the OVA.]]
** [[BetaCouple Ryoko and Kunikida]], interestingly enough they pair up halfway through the series.
* Jo and Meg from ''Anime/BurstAngel'' (two main characters who are also a BattleCouple... sorta).
* Kazuki and Tokiko on ''Manga/BusouRenkin''.
* Kanade and Yukino from ''Anime/CandyBoy'', despite its [[{{Twincest}} complications]].
* ''LightNovel/ChivalryOfAFailedKnight'': Ikki Kurogane and Stella Vermillion, the protagonists from the aforementioned Light Novel/Manga/Anime, on a twist of what would be easily mistaken for an harem series by how it begins, the couple is formed very early on the story (around the end of volume 1 from the Light Novel, chapter 10 from the Manga and episode 4 of the Anime).
* Rosette/Chrono and [[spoiler:Joshua/Azmaria]] in the epilogue of the manga version of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade''.
* Examples from ''Creator/{{CLAMP}}'' media:
** Sakura and Syaoran in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' [[spoiler: who confessed to each other at the end of the series]], as well as [[spoiler:Real]] Syaoran and [[spoiler:Real]] Sakura from ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' [[spoiler:who also confess their love at the end of the series]].

** Touya and Yukito in ''Cardcaptor Sakura'', and later in ''Tsubasa''. Similarly, Gingetsu and Ran in ''Manga/{{Clover}}''.
** Other canon couples from ''Cardcaptor Sakura'' include Eriol and Kaho, Yamazaki and Chiharu and (manga only) Mr. Terada and Rika.
** In both ''Tsubasa'' and ''Manga/XxxHolic'', [[spoiler:Clow and Yuuko]] manage to achieve this status despite not appearing together in a single scene, not even in a flashback, and [[spoiler:''both'']] of them being long dead. [[spoiler:The major tipoff was learning that the only reason one half of this pair continued existing is because the other half wished for it.]]
** ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'' has Sorata and Arashi, [[MayDecemberRomance Yuzuriha and Kusanagi]] and [[YaoiGuys Seishirou and Subaru]] - though "couple" might not be [[MindGameShip the most fitting term for the latter]]. Similarly, Fuuma and Kamui can hardly be called a "couple", but they're far enough out of subtext and into the text and have the WordOfGod.
** Kamui and [[TheIngenue Kotori]] also count as an official couple, even though [[spoiler:she dies later on]]. In fact, rather than any of the other couples already mentioned, these two appear on the 'the Lovers' tarot card included with the tankoubon version [[http://ryen.net/tarot/x/]]
** Chi and Hideki in ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''.
** Kobato and Fujimaki in ''Manga/{{Kobato}}''.
* In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' (the KyoAni anime).
** Nagisa and Tomoya are an official couple ''from the start'': neither of them could imagine not being with the other one, and Tomoya doesn't even seem to notice that several other girls are in love with him.
** The Kyou and Tomoyo Another World OVA episodes make Kyou and Tomoya or Tomoyo and Tomoyo the Official Couple respectively.
* The closest thing shown in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' is Suzaku/Euphemia (displayed in opening). Sometimes considered BetaCouple because Suzaku is just the {{deuteragonist}}, but the protagonist is a CelibateHero. Oghi/Viletta also.
* ''Manga/CrossGame'' ends with three of them: Nakanishi and his girlfriend from the track team, Ichiyo and Junpei, and finally Ko and Aoba.
* Daisuke and [[spoiler:Riku]] become a couple later in ''Manga/DNAngel'' [[spoiler:although the series' manga still hasn't ended as it seems to be on hiatus again so it may end with different shippings later, but they seem to be canon at this time. In the anime they were also heavily implied to be canon by the end.]]
* ''Anime/DanganRonpa3'' has Sonosuke and Ruruka, [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friends]] who have been together since at least high school.
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''
** Yamato/Sora and Miyako/Ken in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''.
** ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' has [[ToyShip Takato and Jeri]].
* ''Manga/DragonBall'': Goku/Chichi, Yamcha/Bulma first, Vegeta/Bulma later, Krillin/Android 18, Gohan/Videl, etc.
* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'': the only couples that are together are [[{{Yandere}} Seiji]] and [[StalkerWithACrush Mika]], [[StepfordSmiler Kida]] and [[HoneyTrap Saki]] and [[EyesAlwaysShut Walker]] and [[YaoiFangirl Erika]]. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Mikado]] and [[BrokenBird Anri]] and [[HeadlessHorseman Celty]] and [[BackAlleyDoctor Shinra]] also join in eventually.
* Coud and Ren in ''Manga/ElementalGelade''.
* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'': Renton and Eureka are the two main characters and the main couple, whose relationship forms the backbone of the show. Holland and Talho's relationship in another major focus. Gidget and Moondoggie are the BetaCouple, and by the show's end [[spoiler:Dominic and Anemone]] become a couple too.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** Alzack and Bisca, who got married and had a daughter together during the 7-year timeskip.
** Jellal and Erza ''would'' be this, but narrowly missed it after Jellal decided his lifestyle was too dangerous to drag Erza down with him. It's firmly [[AnchoredShip anchored]], but no telling when it might be resolved.
** Also Jude and Layla, Lucy's parents, who are now TogetherInDeath.
** Ren and Sherry, who are actually engaged!
** And then there were Kyouka and Seilah, the two lesbian demons from Tartarus.
** Aquarius and Scorpio, though [[spoiler:no word on how they're progressing or if they can even still meet now that Lucy can't summon Aquarius any longer]].
** Zeref and Mavis, to the point where they're [[http://i.imgur.com/464fzqp.jpg holding hands on the cover of Volume 53]]. [[spoiler:It's also easily the most tragic Official Couple in the series, due to Mavis' "[[OnlyMostlyDead death]]" being what led to Zeref's StartOfDarkness, because it was Zeref's love for her that [[KissOfDeath killed her]]. Their relationship is more or less the focus of the ''Albareth Empire'' arc, due to Emperor Spriggan (read: Zeref) launching an invasion of Ishgal just to get his hands on Lumen Histoire (read: Mavis' physical body).]]
* Louise and Saito of ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''.
* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' has Kenshiro and Yuria. Even after [[spoiler:Yuria's death]] he remains loyal to her memory. And at the beginning of ''Kenshiro Den'', the last of the ''Legends of the True Savior'' films, it's revealed that [[spoiler: she is pregnant with his child]], effectively retconning the entire ''Hokuto'' continuity after Raoh's death.
* ''Anime/FlipFlappers'': [[spoiler:Papika and Cocona]] get together after a mutual LoveConfession at the end.
* Many examples in ''Manga/FruitsBasket'': [[spoiler:Kyo and Tohru, Yuki and Machi, Hatori and Kana (later Hatori and Mayuko), Shigure and Akito, Hatsuharu and Isuzu/Rin, Hiro and Kisa, Ayame and Mine.]] There are also official couples for ''minor characters''.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** Ed and Winry is confirmed at the end the manga/''Brotherhood'' with [[spoiler:a hug, proposal, and BabiesEverAfter]].
** Roy and Riza. The official nature of the pairing is stated once and for all in the third art book. [[SubordinateExcuse There's an anti-fraternization law in the military, which Arakawa states is the only thing keeping them from getting married.]]
** Ed and Al's parents, Trisha and Hohenheim.
** Izumi Curtis and her husband Sig.
* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'': Tamahome and Miaka.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'' has Yukiteru and Yuno, a [[TheShipYard Loose Cannon Ship]], as well as BetaCouple [[spoiler:Minene and Nishijima, with two kids to boot]].
* ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'':
** The main series has Hayato and Asuka, along with {{Beta Couple}}s Shinjyo and Miki, Osamu and Clair and Shiba and Rena. The series ends with [[spoiler:Hayato and Asuka's wedding ceremony with most of the cast attending it.]]
** Shiba and Rena ''themselves'' are the official couple in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation game. The rest of the couples in the series are beta couples.
* ''Manga/GanbareGoemon'', involving the titular character and primary DistressedDamsel Omitsu. This is made especially obvious in the TV anime.
* Kei Kurono and Tae Kojima from ''Manga/{{Gantz}}''.
* Shido and Madoka in ''Manga/GetBackers''. Despite being the impetus of one side story and one major StoryArc, there isn't much to say about it beyond "it's cute," and "it works." Later in the manga, [[spoiler:Hevn and Masaki.]]
* ''Manga/GirlFriends'': [[spoiler:Akko and Mari upgrade from a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship to being a true couple in a SecretRelationship. The end of the series indicates they will remain together.]]
* ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}'': Kazuya and Victorique. After many moments of ShipTease, it's finally official in the end.
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has its own share.
** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam UC timeline]] has e.g. Mirai and Bright marrying in between series. Zeta is full of 'em, even if most end deadly for either or both lovers.
** ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' has the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome epic solution]] of Domon and Rain's relationship in the very last episode. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjmCQXdVibA And epic is hardly enough to describe it]]).
** As of the ''Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop'' manga, [[spoiler: Zechs and Noin, as well as Duo and Hilde]] are married, but in the latter case, [[spoiler: they divorced later]]. The final page adds [[spoiler: Relena and Heero]] as it ends with the latter proposing marriage to the former.
** ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' has four final pairings ([[spoiler:Garrod and Tifa, Jamil and Salah, Toniya and Witz, Ennil and Roybea]]) but at least two or three are pretty clear throughout the series and just need to evolve into full-fledged love.
** ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' has a couple most notably Loran and [[spoiler: Queen Dianna Soriel]] as well as Harry and [[spoiler: Kihel Heim]].
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' have these in the end: Shinn and Lunamaria, Kira and Lacus, and Murrue and Mu. Athrun and Cagalli ''were'' an official couple in the first series, but things got a lot [[{{UST}} more ambiguous]] in ''Destiny'', and fandom has never been able to agree on the subject since.
** From ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', the fourth and presumably final ED could best be described as an {{Official|Couple}}/BetaCouple montage, [[spoiler:namely Saji Crossroad/Louise Halevy (the series' first couple since S1), Allelujah Haptism/Soma Peries, Lyle Dylandy/Anew Returner, and [[CargoShip Setsuna/Gundam]]. The finale adds Patrick/Kati, wedding ceremony and all.]].
* ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'': Shu and Inori.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': [[OfficerAndAGentleman Pip Bernadotte]] and Seras Victoria. WordOfGod states that "if Seras wasn't a vampire and Pip wasn't a mercenary, they would be the perfect couple that everybody would be envious of."
* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' makes it clear that Issei and Rias are the official couple... and the rest of the harem would make it clear that's "official" as in "she gets to be the legal wife". Each member of the harem has a meaningful relationship with Issei, [[MarryThemAll they're all okay with that]], and any competition is for the position of First Mistress. Issei and Rias do get the most media exposure (possibly because Rias' figure and mane of red hair make for striking cover art) but in the actual plot Rias is only more equal than the others by virtue of being their [[ChessMotifs King]] and each relationship gets [[BalancedHarem plenty of focus and development]].
* ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'': [[HappilyMarried Kaoru and Hajime]]. It's hard to be more official than having the anime open with their wedding.
* ''Anime/ImGonnaBeAnAngel'': [[GenkiGirl Noelle]] and [[DoggedNiceGuy Yuusuke]] are an established couple already in the first episode, but fans tend to prefer Yuusuke paired with much more mature [[DefrostingIceQueen Natsumi]]. Also, [[spoiler:Raphael and Mikael who in the last episode turned out to be the real main couple of the show, although they were established as a Official Couple from the moment Raphael appeared]].
* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'': There aren't any official couples in the first series but [[spoiler:Endou and Natsumi]] are married in ''GO'' (the sequel).
* ''Manga/InuYasha'': Sango and Miroku, who have had a steadily evolving relationship from their mutual introductions. Interestingly, Inu-Yasha himself is part of a triangle (with Kagome and Kikyo). [[spoiler:The manga finally resolves this issue by re-killing off Kikyo and giving her and Inu-Yasha a bittersweet closure so she can pass away in peace and he can let go of his guilt and be free to go with Kagome. In the DistantFinale Sango and Miroku have children and Kagome manages to return to the past to be with Inu-Yasha for good after some time spent stuck in the future.]]
* ''Manga/{{Is}}'': Ichitaka and Iori.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Part 4 has Koichi and Yukako, after the Cinderella arc.
* Himeko and Chikane from ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko''.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'': The KyoAni anime had the NewTransferStudent Yuichi and CuteClumsyGirl Ayu as the canon pairing, [[KissingCousins despite that]] [[IllGirl he had]] [[{{Tsundere}} a few]] [[ActionGirl other options]].
* ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'': Shiki and Mikiya. Not very surprising, considering it's essentially a romance. There's some stuff in there about the nature of personalities and murder too, but the romance is the important bit. [[BrotherSisterIncest Azaka is really kind of unhappy about it.]]
* ''Manga/KareKano'' is rife with Official Couples which is the whole point of the show. In fact, it's easier to list who ''isn't'' in a relationship by the end of the manga than the other way around.
* ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'': In the future Ryohei and Hana are a canon couple.
* ''Manga/KazeToKiNoUta'': Serge and Gilbert have some major tension with one another with a good dose of [[WillTheyOrWontThey Will They or Won't They]] mixed in, what with Serge's [[{{Gayngst}} denial of his attraction to Gilbert]] and Gilbert's [[DarkAndTroubledPast troubling past]] and [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous tendencies]]. They eventually do hook up and admit their love to one another, but, given that they're in 1880 France, it isn't taken too well by everyone else.
* Kimba and Kitty in ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion''. Look, they're the only lion cubs in the whole series. It's pretty obvious that when they grow up, they'll marry and have kids.
* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'': Sawako and Shouta.
* Shino and Alice from ''Manga/KiniroMosaic''.
* Akira and Koharu of ''Manga/KoharuNoHibi''.
* ''Manga/KotouraSan'' has Haruka and Manabe, who is shipped by everybody in the cast. This is despite Haruka having a case of CannotSpitItOut and has not confessed to Manabe [[spoiler:until the last episode]].
* Ueki Kyousuke and Mori Ai from ''Manga/TheLawOfUeki''. While not explicit in the anime it is made clearer in the manga and becomes fully canon by the end of the sequel series, ''[[OddlyNamedSequel The Law of Ueki Plus]]''.
* Naru and Keitaro in ''Manga/LoveHina'', and by the end only Naru is in denial over this; it helps that Naru is [[AuthorAppeal loosely based on the author's own wife]].
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
** Chrono and Amy.
** [[http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff230/BPHaru3/RND/Fate_chan_is_a_prince_en.jpg Nanoha and Fate]] per WordOfGay.
** ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever'' has Kyouya and Shinobu as the official couple, as revealed in the OVA and ''Nanoha''.
** While not explicitly said to develop a romantic relationship in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', the ToyShip of Erio and Caro does fit in the sense that, as the trope description states, both are overtly paired off and it seems understood by the cast that the two are an item. And their brief cameo in ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' has them apparently sharing a flat together in World #61/Supools, and one of the Sound Stages has Caro actually following Erio into the men's side of a public bath to [[BathtubBonding do some bonding]] -- even suggesting that they take more baths together in the future -- much to Erio's sputtered embarrassment.
** It's strongly implied that the minor characters Griffith Lowran and Lucino Lilie have married between ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers StrikerS]]'' and ''[[Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce FORCE]]'', as Lucino is introduced with Griffith's surname in the latter season. Their relationship is subtly hinted in the first ''[=StrikerS=]'' opening and in the ''[=StrikerS=]'' epilogue, and Shario noticed that there was more between them in the ''[=StrikerS=]'' supplementary manga.
* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' is usually good about resolving its love triangles:
** ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' has Hikaru and Misa, as well as BetaCouple Max and Millia. The latter have separated by the time of ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}'', but the GrandFinale suggests that they eventually get back together.
** ''Anime/MacrossPlus'' has Isamu and Myung. [[spoiler:Mostly because Guld was KilledOffForReal and GenkiGirl Lucy is nowhere to be found by the end.]]
** ''Anime/MacrossII'' has [[spoiler: Hibiki and Sylvie]].
** ''Anime/MacrossZero'' has Shin/Sara.
** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has [[spoiler:Alto and Sheryl, confirmed by the end of the second movie and WordOfGod]]. Also Michael/Klan.
** ''Anime/MacrossDelta'' has Hayate and [[spoiler:Freyja]].
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has [[spoiler:Nagi/Arika]] in the backstory. As of the epilogue, there's Kotaro/Natsumi and [[SchoolgirlLesbians Konoka/Setsuna]] (although the latter is confirmed indirectly).
* ''Manga/MaidSama'': Chapter 57 establishes [[spoiler:Usui and Misaki]] as an official couple. Even before then, it's obvious to everyone. At the end it's [[spoiler:Hinata and Suzuna]], [[spoiler:Sakura and Kuuga]], [[spoiler:maybe Honoka and Aoi]], [[spoiler:Kurotatsu of the three idiots and Erika]].
* ''Anime/MaiHime'' has a few of these: there's [[spoiler:Mai and Yuuichi]] (though they're both in heavy denial), [[spoiler:Akira and Takumi]], and Akane and Kazuya (who are the BetaCouple). [[AllThereInTheManual The artbooks]] also canonize [[spoiler:[[WordOfGay Natsuki and Shizuru]]]].
* ''Anime/MaiOtome'' switches things around a bit (thanks in part to SitchSexuality), pairing up Shizuru with Natsuki, Chie with Aoi, and Haruka with Yukino (the last two of which were subtexted heavily in the ''Mai-[=HiME=]'' anime).
* ''Mazinger''
** ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Kouji and Sayaka, although depending on the alternate continuity, they were this or ImpliedLoveInterest.
** ''Anime/GreatMazinger'': Tetsuya and Jun. Kouji and Sayaka this time were the BetaCouple.
** ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'': Duke and Hikaru, although [[spoiler:Duke and [[FieryRedhead Rubina]] were engaged before the beginning the series.]]
* ''Manga/MidoriDays'': Midori and Seiji. Pretty obvious when the story starts with them becoming ''literally attached'' to each other, which is how they stay for a majority of the 80+ chapter story.
* ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'': Nagasumi and San. They got "engaged" at the beginning of the series and, [[LoveDodecahedron romantic]] [[UnwantedHarem shenanigans]] aside, they're both committed to the other. So much so that, in one episode, Nagasumi gets upset at himself for even ''thinking'' about meeting with someone who [[LoveLetterLunacy sent him a love letter]] because he already has San, even though he was just going to turn her down (and it was a trick anyway).
* Jean and Nadia from ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'', as well as Electra and Nemo. [[spoiler:The last one finishes as HerHeartWillGoOn, after Neo dies during the GrandFinale and Electra is later shown taking care of their baby.]]
** Also doubling as CrackPairing: [[spoiler:Marie and Sanson.]]
* Here are the official couples in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Asuma and Kurenai.
** Minato and Kushina.
** Dan and Tsunade.
** Yahiko and Konan.
** [[spoiler:Naruto and Hinata]].
** [[spoiler:Sasuke and Sakura]]
** [[spoiler:Sai and Ino]].
** [[spoiler:Shikamaru and Temari]].
** [[spoiler:Chouji and Karui]].
** [[spoiler:Kiba and Tamaki]].
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
** Gendo/Yui is official in all versions of ''Evangelion'' (original or otherwise)
** In the original series, Misato and Kaji count. Shinji and Asuka and Hikari and Toji could have counted, but unfortunately they never quite tie the knot.
** In ''Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelionAngelicDays'', Shinji/Asuka and Hikari/Touji actually reach official status.
* [[HoYay Nezumi and Shion]] of ''LightNovel/{{No 6}}'' were confirmed by the end.
* ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}'': [[spoiler:Haru and Tsurezure]]. A cameo in ''Manga/KomorisanWaKotowarenai'' implies that they got married after dating for four years.
* The only Official Couples in ''Manga/OnePiece'' are minor couples who are married and even so, majority of the couples have one spouse either [[ParentalAbandonment missing or dead]]. Some examples are Usopp's parents (mom dead, father a pirate) and Vivi's parents (mom dead, father still alive) and later Princess Shirahoshi's parents (mom dead, father alive). In [[spoiler: Gold Roger and Rouge]]'s case, they are TogetherInDeath.
* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': Chapter 81 of the manga confirms that the official couple is [[spoiler:Tamaki and Haruhi]]. The anime, on the other hand, left things wide open for any shipping to possibly happen, particularly since Haruhi had had several meaningful moments with the twins, Kyouya, and Tamaki.
* ''Manga/OtomeYoukaiZakuro'', spoiled from the start by both the opening and ending credits - Kei/Zakuro, Riken/Susukihotaru, Ganryuu/Bonbori&Hozuki.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Alice and Tonio from ''Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai'', as well as Ruby and Sapphire from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures''.
** Jessie & James in the ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' manga.
* [[spoiler:Mytho and Rue]] get together in the very last episode of ''Anime/PrincessTutu''. [[spoiler:Ahiru and Fakir]] have also become official by then, but it ends [[StarCrossedLovers less happily]] for them.
* ''Manga/{{Psyren}}'': The two protagonists, Ageha and Sakurako.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has Ryoga and Akari.
* ''Manga/RaveMaster'': Let and Julia. Elie and Haru, too.
* ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'': Parn and Deedlit.
* ''Manga/ReimeiNoArcana'': Caesar and Nakaba.
* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'': Moka and Tsukune.
* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': Kenshin and Kaoru. [[spoiler:Marriage and a child in the epilogue: it doesn't get more official than this.]]
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
** Not even death was able to come between Usagi and Mamoru (Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask).
** Haruka (Sailor Uranus) and Michiru (Sailor Neptune).
** Usagi's school friends Naru and Umino eventually get together.
** Kunzite and Zoisite in the [[Manga/SailorMoon first anime]] version.
** Luna and Artemis.
* ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'': Kyo and Yuya ''finally'' get together at the very end. There's also Kyoshiro and Sakuya and (in the anime) Benitora and Mahiro. You could also count Fubuki and Hitoki, but she is a PosthumousCharacter.
* ''Manga/SandChronicles'': Ann and Daigo. [[spoiler:Then they break up for a nearly good 10 years, but get back together afterward.]]
* ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'': Ken and Jun (or Mark and Princess, if you go for the American DubNameChange), TheHero and TheChick of the FiveManBand finally ended up together. It only took three series and a LoveTriangle with Joe (or Jason), TheLancer (pretty funny, Jun was supposed to be TheLancer when the series was being made).
* ''Manga/ShamanKing'': Faust and Elisa who are HappilyMarried even though Elisa is dead [[spoiler:Faust will join her as a ghost eventually]], as well as Yoh and Anna. In the epilogue, it was heavily implied that [[spoiler:Ren and Jeanne]] had a child together.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'': In the anime, Rin ends up with [[spoiler:his senpai Asa]]. Watching the [[RecapEpisode recap season]] ''Memories'' makes it more clear why he chose her.
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': The anime adaptation more or less cemented Lina and Gourry as an official pair since the end of season 2 [[spoiler:when they share a kiss in another dimension.]] This was carried on to the original novels, where at the end, Lina expresses hope Gourry will marry her.
* The official couples in ''Manga/SoulEater'' are Kim/Ox and [[spoiler:Marie/Stein, who are having a baby together]].
* Holo and Lawrence of ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'' [[spoiler:open a shop and have a child in the end.]]
* ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}'' has Sora and Sunao (or Yoru and Ran) and [[BetaCouple Nanami and Shinichirou]].
* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito and Asuna, who fall in love and [[spoiler:get married in-game]].
* Ran and Rui from ''Anime/TelepathyShoujoRan'' are a couple, and even the tinges of RomanticTwoGirlFriendship between Ran and Midori can't put any dents in that.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Simon and Nia, who were quite obvious even before [[spoiler:the time-skip]]. To a lesser extent, Kamina and Yoko also are marked as such in other media or merchandise.
* Akari and Hiroyuki from ''VisualNovel/ToHeart''.
* Taiga and Ryuji from ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}''. Kinda obvious from the series' name... ("Tora" = Tiger = Taiga, "Dora"gon = Dragon(Ryū) = Ryuji)
* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'': [[spoiler:Toriko and Rin got married.]]
* Kiba and Cheza in ''Anime/WolfsRain''.
* ''Manga/YandereKanojo'': The main selling point is the misadventures of the main couple, [[JapaneseDelinquents Reina]] and [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Manabu]]. There are also paired minor characters like [[PitbullDatesPuppy Reina's parents]] and [[UglyGuyHotWife The Principal and his wife.]]
* ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'': Coco and Nozomi. Really the only 100% official pairing within the rather large ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise thus far. Every season has at least one highly probable pairing, some of which are basically accepted as canon. But Coco and Nozomi are the only pairing [[spoiler:to have kissed, and Nozomi stated that she loved him in the final episode of the first season]], among many other lovey-dovey things that certainly didn't happen with other (potential) pairings.
* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'':
** Yuusei and Aki might never get stated as the official couple in as many words on screen, but it's pretty obvious that this is what they are by the end.
** Jack and Carly were very clearly this at the end of the Dark Signers Arc. [[{{Retcon}} Then the writers decided to pretend their]] RelationshipUpgrade [[{{Retcon}} never happened and erased all their romantic feelings out of existence with no prior warning]].
* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': Juudai & Yubel, along with Amon and Echo and (quite probably, given he chose to stay with her people) Taniya & Misawa.
* ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' has [[spoiler:Yuri and Victor, who kiss in episode 7]]. As of episode 10, [[spoiler:they are engaged]].
* Yusuke and Keiko, Sensui and Itsuki in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. [[WordOfGod Yoshihiro Togashi]] originally did plan for Hiei and [[spoiler:Mukuro]] to be an official item as well, but severe fan backlash prevented him from doing so (although the anime implies it in contrast to the manga). In the first drafts of the series, Hiei and Kurama were supposed to be in a romantic relationship but [[WordOfGod Yoshihiro Togashi]] decided to leave them as close friends which would explain all the HoYay between them.
* ''Manga/ZetsuenNoTempest'': Yoshino and Aika.
----
* ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'': Keiichi and Belldandy.
* ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'': Kaoru and Aoi get secretly engaged to each other right after the start of the story, but only Miyabi and Aoi's parents know about it. [[spoiler:At the end of the manga they get married and live HappilyEverAfter, although [[TheOjou Mayu]] claims that she [[UnrequitedLoveLastsForever hasn't given up]].]]
* ''Manga/AkameGaKill'':
** [[spoiler:Tatsumi and Mine become the official couple during the Wild Hunt story arc. Mine falls into a coma after saving Tatsumi's life, but he promises that he wants to make her his wife if he survives the final battle and she wakes up.]]
** [[spoiler:Wave and Kurome. In chapter 64, she kisses him before going to her final duel with Akame, which makes Wave realize he is in love with her. Two chapters later, he arrives just in time to stop the duel between sisters, confesses his love for Kurome and declares his intention to abandon the empire to run away with Kurome and take care of her. After some struggle, Kurome accepts, they kiss and leave together.]]
* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': [[spoiler:Irina and Karasuma gets married]].
* ''WebComic/AxisPowersHetalia''
** Austria and Hungary were married at one point, and still have affection for each other.
** Germany and Italy; Germany proposing to Italy, and them going on a date in the Buon San Valentino strip.
** Also, Sweden and Finland, in a one-sided sense. But the fact that Sweden is [[WordOfGay officially gay]] and Finland is his [[SingleTargetSexuality single-target sexuality]] makes it even more canon.
* ''Manga/BambooBlade'': Dan ([[{{Gonk}} short and acorn-headed]]) and Miyako Miyazaki. The cast is still trying to figure out how this one works, although it helps Miya Miya is also a gag character who flips between sweet and [[{{Yandere}} psycho]].
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Guts and Casca grew to love each other despite their initial BelligerentSexualTension until they [[spoiler:made love]] and became a couple. Griffith's betrayal and the Eclipse created a gulf between them, making the two into StarCrossedLovers, but Guts has since decided that he will stay together with her [[{{Determinator}} no matter what it takes]].
* Luka and Yuki of ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName''.
* Rock and Revy of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' are ''almost'' this, due to numerous... implications.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Although the story focusses on a group of friends who fight and support each other, there is very little romance in the story and the only confirmed relationships tend to have one or both partners being deceased. These relationships only get revealed when they're relevant to the motivation of the main characters, such the back story of Ichigo and Uryuu's living fathers and deceased mothers. However, the epilogue of the story occurs after a ten-year Time Skip and does reveal that several characters get together during that time. [[spoiler:Ichigo and Orihime live together at the Kurosaki Clinic and have a son, while Renji (still Byakuya's lieutenant) and Rukia (a newly promoted captain) have a daughter.]]
* Hagino and Mari from the ''Manga/BlueDrop'' anime.
* ''Manga/BlueSeed'' had a pretty clean sweep by the end of the series:
** Momiji and Kusanagi.
** [[BetaCouple Koume and Yaegashi]] [[spoiler:They're engaged by the end of the OVA.]]
** [[BetaCouple Ryoko and Kunikida]], interestingly enough they pair up halfway through the series.
* Jo and Meg from ''Anime/BurstAngel'' (two main characters who are also a BattleCouple... sorta).
* Kazuki and Tokiko on ''Manga/BusouRenkin''.
* Kanade and Yukino from ''Anime/CandyBoy'', despite its [[{{Twincest}} complications]].
* ''LightNovel/ChivalryOfAFailedKnight'': Ikki Kurogane and Stella Vermillion, the protagonists from the aforementioned Light Novel/Manga/Anime, on a twist of what would be easily mistaken for an harem series by how it begins, the couple is formed very early on the story (around the end of volume 1 from the Light Novel, chapter 10 from the Manga and episode 4 of the Anime).
* Rosette/Chrono and [[spoiler:Joshua/Azmaria]] in the epilogue of the manga version of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade''.
* Examples from ''Creator/{{CLAMP}}'' media:
** Sakura and Syaoran in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' [[spoiler: who confessed to each other at the end of the series]], as well as [[spoiler:Real]] Syaoran and [[spoiler:Real]] Sakura from ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' [[spoiler:who also confess their love at the end of the series]]. [[spoiler:The Clone Syaoran and Clone Sakura]] also married [[spoiler:during the infinite time loop and Real Syaoran was apparently their son, not to mention Clone Syaoran was cloned FROM the Real Syaoran, making the whole thing a LOT more complicated and confusing at times, but in the end the clones were paired together as were the real versions.]]
** Fai and Kurogane, also from ''Tsubasa''. They were so heavily hinted at that fans went crazy, bombarding {{CLAMP}} with questions and begging that they eventually said ''"Screw it!"'' and rolled with it. Took a few years too because they wanted to keep it ambiguous. Fans won out.
** Touya and Yukito in ''Cardcaptor Sakura'', and later in ''Tsubasa''. Similarly, Gingetsu and Ran in ''Manga/{{Clover}}''.
** Other canon couples from ''Cardcaptor Sakura'' include Eriol and Kaho, Yamazaki and Chiharu and (manga only) Mr. Terada and Rika.
** In both ''Tsubasa'' and ''Manga/XxxHolic'', [[spoiler:Clow and Yuuko]] manage to achieve this status despite not appearing together in a single scene, not even in a flashback, and [[spoiler:''both'']] of them being long dead. [[spoiler:The major tipoff was learning that the only reason one half of this pair continued existing is because the other half wished for it.]]
** ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'' has Sorata and Arashi, [[MayDecemberRomance Yuzuriha and Kusanagi]] and [[YaoiGuys Seishirou and Subaru]] - though "couple" might not be [[MindGameShip the most fitting term for the latter]]. Similarly, Fuuma and Kamui can hardly be called a "couple", but they're far enough out of subtext and into the text and have the WordOfGod.
** Kamui and [[TheIngenue Kotori]] also count as an official couple, even though [[spoiler:she dies later on]]. In fact, rather than any of the other couples already mentioned, these two appear on the 'the Lovers' tarot card included with the tankoubon version [[http://ryen.net/tarot/x/]]
** Chi and Hideki in ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''.
** Kobato and Fujimaki in ''Manga/{{Kobato}}''.
* In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' (the KyoAni anime).
** Nagisa and Tomoya are an official couple ''from the start'': neither of them could imagine not being with the other one, and Tomoya doesn't even seem to notice that several other girls are in love with him.
** The Kyou and Tomoyo Another World OVA episodes make Kyou and Tomoya or Tomoyo and Tomoyo the Official Couple respectively.
* The closest thing shown in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' is Suzaku/Euphemia (displayed in opening). Sometimes considered BetaCouple because Suzaku is just the {{deuteragonist}}, but the protagonist is a CelibateHero. Oghi/Viletta also.
* ''Manga/CrossGame'' ends with three of them: Nakanishi and his girlfriend from the track team, Ichiyo and Junpei, and finally Ko and Aoba.
* Daisuke and [[spoiler:Riku]] become a couple later in ''Manga/DNAngel'' [[spoiler:although the series' manga still hasn't ended as it seems to be on hiatus again so it may end with different shippings later, but they seem to be canon at this time. In the anime they were also heavily implied to be canon by the end.]]
* ''Anime/DanganRonpa3'' has Sonosuke and Ruruka, [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friends]] who have been together since at least high school.
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''
** Yamato/Sora and Miyako/Ken in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''.
** ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' has [[ToyShip Takato and Jeri]].
* ''Manga/DragonBall'': Goku/Chichi, Yamcha/Bulma first, Vegeta/Bulma later, Krillin/Android 18, Gohan/Videl, etc.
* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'': the only couples that are together are [[{{Yandere}} Seiji]] and [[StalkerWithACrush Mika]], [[StepfordSmiler Kida]] and [[HoneyTrap Saki]] and [[EyesAlwaysShut Walker]] and [[YaoiFangirl Erika]]. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Mikado]] and [[BrokenBird Anri]] and [[HeadlessHorseman Celty]] and [[BackAlleyDoctor Shinra]] also join in eventually.
* Coud and Ren in ''Manga/ElementalGelade''.
* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'': Renton and Eureka are the two main characters and the main couple, whose relationship forms the backbone of the show. Holland and Talho's relationship in another major focus. Gidget and Moondoggie are the BetaCouple, and by the show's end [[spoiler:Dominic and Anemone]] become a couple too.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** Alzack and Bisca, who got married and had a daughter together during the 7-year timeskip.
** Jellal and Erza ''would'' be this, but narrowly missed it after Jellal decided his lifestyle was too dangerous to drag Erza down with him. It's firmly [[AnchoredShip anchored]], but no telling when it might be resolved.
** Also Jude and Layla, Lucy's parents, who are now TogetherInDeath.
** Ren and Sherry, who are actually engaged!
** And then there were Kyouka and Seilah, the two lesbian demons from Tartarus.
** Aquarius and Scorpio, though [[spoiler:no word on how they're progressing or if they can even still meet now that Lucy can't summon Aquarius any longer]].
** Zeref and Mavis, to the point where they're [[http://i.imgur.com/464fzqp.jpg holding hands on the cover of Volume 53]]. [[spoiler:It's also easily the most tragic Official Couple in the series, due to Mavis' "[[OnlyMostlyDead death]]" being what led to Zeref's StartOfDarkness, because it was Zeref's love for her that [[KissOfDeath killed her]]. Their relationship is more or less the focus of the ''Albareth Empire'' arc, due to Emperor Spriggan (read: Zeref) launching an invasion of Ishgal just to get his hands on Lumen Histoire (read: Mavis' physical body).]]
* Louise and Saito of ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''.
* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' has Kenshiro and Yuria. Even after [[spoiler:Yuria's death]] he remains loyal to her memory. And at the beginning of ''Kenshiro Den'', the last of the ''Legends of the True Savior'' films, it's revealed that [[spoiler: she is pregnant with his child]], effectively retconning the entire ''Hokuto'' continuity after Raoh's death.
* ''Anime/FlipFlappers'': [[spoiler:Papika and Cocona]] get together after a mutual LoveConfession at the end.
* Many examples in ''Manga/FruitsBasket'': [[spoiler:Kyo and Tohru, Yuki and Machi, Hatori and Kana (later Hatori and Mayuko), Shigure and Akito, Hatsuharu and Isuzu/Rin, Hiro and Kisa, Ayame and Mine.]] There are also official couples for ''minor characters''.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** Ed and Winry is confirmed at the end the manga/''Brotherhood'' with [[spoiler:a hug, proposal, and BabiesEverAfter]].
** Roy and Riza. The official nature of the pairing is stated once and for all in the third art book. [[SubordinateExcuse There's an anti-fraternization law in the military, which Arakawa states is the only thing keeping them from getting married.]]
** Ed and Al's parents, Trisha and Hohenheim.
** Izumi Curtis and her husband Sig.
* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'': Tamahome and Miaka.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'' has Yukiteru and Yuno, a [[TheShipYard Loose Cannon Ship]], as well as BetaCouple [[spoiler:Minene and Nishijima, with two kids to boot]].
* ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'':
** The main series has Hayato and Asuka, along with {{Beta Couple}}s Shinjyo and Miki, Osamu and Clair and Shiba and Rena. The series ends with [[spoiler:Hayato and Asuka's wedding ceremony with most of the cast attending it.]]
** Shiba and Rena ''themselves'' are the official couple in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation game. The rest of the couples in the series are beta couples.
* ''Manga/GanbareGoemon'', involving the titular character and primary DistressedDamsel Omitsu. This is made especially obvious in the TV anime.
* Kei Kurono and Tae Kojima from ''Manga/{{Gantz}}''.
* Shido and Madoka in ''Manga/GetBackers''. Despite being the impetus of one side story and one major StoryArc, there isn't much to say about it beyond "it's cute," and "it works." Later in the manga, [[spoiler:Hevn and Masaki.]]
* ''Manga/GirlFriends'': [[spoiler:Akko and Mari upgrade from a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship to being a true couple in a SecretRelationship. The end of the series indicates they will remain together.]]
* ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}'': Kazuya and Victorique. After many moments of ShipTease, it's finally official in the end.
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has its own share.
** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam UC timeline]] has e.g. Mirai and Bright marrying in between series. Zeta is full of 'em, even if most end deadly for either or both lovers.
** ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' has the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome epic solution]] of Domon and Rain's relationship in the very last episode. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjmCQXdVibA And epic is hardly enough to describe it]]).
** As of the ''Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop'' manga, [[spoiler: Zechs and Noin, as well as Duo and Hilde]] are married, but in the latter case, [[spoiler: they divorced later]]. The final page adds [[spoiler: Relena and Heero]] as it ends with the latter proposing marriage to the former.
** ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' has four final pairings ([[spoiler:Garrod and Tifa, Jamil and Salah, Toniya and Witz, Ennil and Roybea]]) but at least two or three are pretty clear throughout the series and just need to evolve into full-fledged love.
** ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' has a couple most notably Loran and [[spoiler: Queen Dianna Soriel]] as well as Harry and [[spoiler: Kihel Heim]].
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' have these in the end: Shinn and Lunamaria, Kira and Lacus, and Murrue and Mu. Athrun and Cagalli ''were'' an official couple in the first series, but things got a lot [[{{UST}} more ambiguous]] in ''Destiny'', and fandom has never been able to agree on the subject since.
** From ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', the fourth and presumably final ED could best be described as an {{Official|Couple}}/BetaCouple montage, [[spoiler:namely Saji Crossroad/Louise Halevy (the series' first couple since S1), Allelujah Haptism/Soma Peries, Lyle Dylandy/Anew Returner, and [[CargoShip Setsuna/Gundam]]. The finale adds Patrick/Kati, wedding ceremony and all.]].
* ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'': Shu and Inori.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': [[OfficerAndAGentleman Pip Bernadotte]] and Seras Victoria. WordOfGod states that "if Seras wasn't a vampire and Pip wasn't a mercenary, they would be the perfect couple that everybody would be envious of."
* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' makes it clear that Issei and Rias are the official couple... and the rest of the harem would make it clear that's "official" as in "she gets to be the legal wife". Each member of the harem has a meaningful relationship with Issei, [[MarryThemAll they're all okay with that]], and any competition is for the position of First Mistress. Issei and Rias do get the most media exposure (possibly because Rias' figure and mane of red hair make for striking cover art) but in the actual plot Rias is only more equal than the others by virtue of being their [[ChessMotifs King]] and each relationship gets [[BalancedHarem plenty of focus and development]].
* ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'': [[HappilyMarried Kaoru and Hajime]]. It's hard to be more official than having the anime open with their wedding.
* ''Anime/ImGonnaBeAnAngel'': [[GenkiGirl Noelle]] and [[DoggedNiceGuy Yuusuke]] are an established couple already in the first episode, but fans tend to prefer Yuusuke paired with much more mature [[DefrostingIceQueen Natsumi]]. Also, [[spoiler:Raphael and Mikael who in the last episode turned out to be the real main couple of the show, although they were established as a Official Couple from the moment Raphael appeared]].
* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'': There aren't any official couples in the first series but [[spoiler:Endou and Natsumi]] are married in ''GO'' (the sequel).
* ''Manga/InuYasha'': Sango and Miroku, who have had a steadily evolving relationship from their mutual introductions. Interestingly, Inu-Yasha himself is part of a triangle (with Kagome and Kikyo). [[spoiler:The manga finally resolves this issue by re-killing off Kikyo and giving her and Inu-Yasha a bittersweet closure so she can pass away in peace and he can let go of his guilt and be free to go with Kagome. In the DistantFinale Sango and Miroku have children and Kagome manages to return to the past to be with Inu-Yasha for good after some time spent stuck in the future.]]
* ''Manga/{{Is}}'': Ichitaka and Iori.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Part 4 has Koichi and Yukako, after the Cinderella arc.
* Himeko and Chikane from ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko''.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'': The KyoAni anime had the NewTransferStudent Yuichi and CuteClumsyGirl Ayu as the canon pairing, [[KissingCousins despite that]] [[IllGirl he had]] [[{{Tsundere}} a few]] [[ActionGirl other options]].
* ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'': Shiki and Mikiya. Not very surprising, considering it's essentially a romance. There's some stuff in there about the nature of personalities and murder too, but the romance is the important bit. [[BrotherSisterIncest Azaka is really kind of unhappy about it.]]
* ''Manga/KareKano'' is rife with Official Couples which is the whole point of the show. In fact, it's easier to list who ''isn't'' in a relationship by the end of the manga than the other way around.
* ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'': In the future Ryohei and Hana are a canon couple.
* ''Manga/KazeToKiNoUta'': Serge and Gilbert have some major tension with one another with a good dose of [[WillTheyOrWontThey Will They or Won't They]] mixed in, what with Serge's [[{{Gayngst}} denial of his attraction to Gilbert]] and Gilbert's [[DarkAndTroubledPast troubling past]] and [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous tendencies]]. They eventually do hook up and admit their love to one another, but, given that they're in 1880 France, it isn't taken too well by everyone else.
* Kimba and Kitty in ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion''. Look, they're the only lion cubs in the whole series. It's pretty obvious that when they grow up, they'll marry and have kids.
* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'': Sawako and Shouta.
* Shino and Alice from ''Manga/KiniroMosaic''.
* Akira and Koharu of ''Manga/KoharuNoHibi''.
* ''Manga/KotouraSan'' has Haruka and Manabe, who is shipped by everybody in the cast. This is despite Haruka having a case of CannotSpitItOut and has not confessed to Manabe [[spoiler:until the last episode]].
* Ueki Kyousuke and Mori Ai from ''Manga/TheLawOfUeki''. While not explicit in the anime it is made clearer in the manga and becomes fully canon by the end of the sequel series, ''[[OddlyNamedSequel The Law of Ueki Plus]]''.
* Naru and Keitaro in ''Manga/LoveHina'', and by the end only Naru is in denial over this; it helps that Naru is [[AuthorAppeal loosely based on the author's own wife]].
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
** Chrono and Amy.
** [[http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff230/BPHaru3/RND/Fate_chan_is_a_prince_en.jpg Nanoha and Fate]] per WordOfGay.
** ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever'' has Kyouya and Shinobu as the official couple, as revealed in the OVA and ''Nanoha''.
** While not explicitly said to develop a romantic relationship in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', the ToyShip of Erio and Caro does fit in the sense that, as the trope description states, both are overtly paired off and it seems understood by the cast that the two are an item. And their brief cameo in ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' has them apparently sharing a flat together in World #61/Supools, and one of the Sound Stages has Caro actually following Erio into the men's side of a public bath to [[BathtubBonding do some bonding]] -- even suggesting that they take more baths together in the future -- much to Erio's sputtered embarrassment.
** It's strongly implied that the minor characters Griffith Lowran and Lucino Lilie have married between ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers StrikerS]]'' and ''[[Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce FORCE]]'', as Lucino is introduced with Griffith's surname in the latter season. Their relationship is subtly hinted in the first ''[=StrikerS=]'' opening and in the ''[=StrikerS=]'' epilogue, and Shario noticed that there was more between them in the ''[=StrikerS=]'' supplementary manga.
* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' is usually good about resolving its love triangles:
** ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' has Hikaru and Misa, as well as BetaCouple Max and Millia. The latter have separated by the time of ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}'', but the GrandFinale suggests that they eventually get back together.
** ''Anime/MacrossPlus'' has Isamu and Myung. [[spoiler:Mostly because Guld was KilledOffForReal and GenkiGirl Lucy is nowhere to be found by the end.]]
** ''Anime/MacrossII'' has [[spoiler: Hibiki and Sylvie]].
** ''Anime/MacrossZero'' has Shin/Sara.
** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has [[spoiler:Alto and Sheryl, confirmed by the end of the second movie and WordOfGod]]. Also Michael/Klan.
** ''Anime/MacrossDelta'' has Hayate and [[spoiler:Freyja]].
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has [[spoiler:Nagi/Arika]] in the backstory. As of the epilogue, there's Kotaro/Natsumi and [[SchoolgirlLesbians Konoka/Setsuna]] (although the latter is confirmed indirectly).
* ''Manga/MaidSama'': Chapter 57 establishes [[spoiler:Usui and Misaki]] as an official couple. Even before then, it's obvious to everyone. At the end it's [[spoiler:Hinata and Suzuna]], [[spoiler:Sakura and Kuuga]], [[spoiler:maybe Honoka and Aoi]], [[spoiler:Kurotatsu of the three idiots and Erika]].
* ''Anime/MaiHime'' has a few of these: there's [[spoiler:Mai and Yuuichi]] (though they're both in heavy denial), [[spoiler:Akira and Takumi]], and Akane and Kazuya (who are the BetaCouple). [[AllThereInTheManual The artbooks]] also canonize [[spoiler:[[WordOfGay Natsuki and Shizuru]]]].
* ''Anime/MaiOtome'' switches things around a bit (thanks in part to SitchSexuality), pairing up Shizuru with Natsuki, Chie with Aoi, and Haruka with Yukino (the last two of which were subtexted heavily in the ''Mai-[=HiME=]'' anime).
* ''Mazinger''
** ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Kouji and Sayaka, although depending on the alternate continuity, they were this or ImpliedLoveInterest.
** ''Anime/GreatMazinger'': Tetsuya and Jun. Kouji and Sayaka this time were the BetaCouple.
** ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'': Duke and Hikaru, although [[spoiler:Duke and [[FieryRedhead Rubina]] were engaged before the beginning the series.]]
* ''Manga/MidoriDays'': Midori and Seiji. Pretty obvious when the story starts with them becoming ''literally attached'' to each other, which is how they stay for a majority of the 80+ chapter story.
* ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'': Nagasumi and San. They got "engaged" at the beginning of the series and, [[LoveDodecahedron romantic]] [[UnwantedHarem shenanigans]] aside, they're both committed to the other. So much so that, in one episode, Nagasumi gets upset at himself for even ''thinking'' about meeting with someone who [[LoveLetterLunacy sent him a love letter]] because he already has San, even though he was just going to turn her down (and it was a trick anyway).
* Jean and Nadia from ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'', as well as Electra and Nemo. [[spoiler:The last one finishes as HerHeartWillGoOn, after Neo dies during the GrandFinale and Electra is later shown taking care of their baby.]]
** Also doubling as CrackPairing: [[spoiler:Marie and Sanson.]]
* Here are the official couples in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Asuma and Kurenai.
** Minato and Kushina.
** Dan and Tsunade.
** Yahiko and Konan.
** [[spoiler:Naruto and Hinata]].
** [[spoiler:Sasuke and Sakura]]
** [[spoiler:Sai and Ino]].
** [[spoiler:Shikamaru and Temari]].
** [[spoiler:Chouji and Karui]].
** [[spoiler:Kiba and Tamaki]].
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
** Gendo/Yui is official in all versions of ''Evangelion'' (original or otherwise)
** In the original series, Misato and Kaji count. Shinji and Asuka and Hikari and Toji could have counted, but unfortunately they never quite tie the knot.
** In ''Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelionAngelicDays'', Shinji/Asuka and Hikari/Touji actually reach official status.
* [[HoYay Nezumi and Shion]] of ''LightNovel/{{No 6}}'' were confirmed by the end.
* ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}'': [[spoiler:Haru and Tsurezure]]. A cameo in ''Manga/KomorisanWaKotowarenai'' implies that they got married after dating for four years.
* The only Official Couples in ''Manga/OnePiece'' are minor couples who are married and even so, majority of the couples have one spouse either [[ParentalAbandonment missing or dead]]. Some examples are Usopp's parents (mom dead, father a pirate) and Vivi's parents (mom dead, father still alive) and later Princess Shirahoshi's parents (mom dead, father alive). In [[spoiler: Gold Roger and Rouge]]'s case, they are TogetherInDeath.
* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': Chapter 81 of the manga confirms that the official couple is [[spoiler:Tamaki and Haruhi]]. The anime, on the other hand, left things wide open for any shipping to possibly happen, particularly since Haruhi had had several meaningful moments with the twins, Kyouya, and Tamaki.
* ''Manga/OtomeYoukaiZakuro'', spoiled from the start by both the opening and ending credits - Kei/Zakuro, Riken/Susukihotaru, Ganryuu/Bonbori&Hozuki.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Alice and Tonio from ''Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai'', as well as Ruby and Sapphire from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures''.
** Jessie & James in the ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' manga.
* [[spoiler:Mytho and Rue]] get together in the very last episode of ''Anime/PrincessTutu''. [[spoiler:Ahiru and Fakir]] have also become official by then, but it ends [[StarCrossedLovers less happily]] for them.
* ''Manga/{{Psyren}}'': The two protagonists, Ageha and Sakurako.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has Ryoga and Akari.
* ''Manga/RaveMaster'': Let and Julia. Elie and Haru, too.
* ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'': Parn and Deedlit.
* ''Manga/ReimeiNoArcana'': Caesar and Nakaba.
* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'': Moka and Tsukune.
* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': Kenshin and Kaoru. [[spoiler:Marriage and a child in the epilogue: it doesn't get more official than this.]]
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
** Not even death was able to come between Usagi and Mamoru (Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask).
** Haruka (Sailor Uranus) and Michiru (Sailor Neptune).
** Usagi's school friends Naru and Umino eventually get together.
** Kunzite and Zoisite in the [[Manga/SailorMoon first anime]] version.
** Luna and Artemis.
* ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'': Kyo and Yuya ''finally'' get together at the very end. There's also Kyoshiro and Sakuya and (in the anime) Benitora and Mahiro. You could also count Fubuki and Hitoki, but she is a PosthumousCharacter.
* ''Manga/SandChronicles'': Ann and Daigo. [[spoiler:Then they break up for a nearly good 10 years, but get back together afterward.]]
* ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'': Ken and Jun (or Mark and Princess, if you go for the American DubNameChange), TheHero and TheChick of the FiveManBand finally ended up together. It only took three series and a LoveTriangle with Joe (or Jason), TheLancer (pretty funny, Jun was supposed to be TheLancer when the series was being made).
* ''Manga/ShamanKing'': Faust and Elisa who are HappilyMarried even though Elisa is dead [[spoiler:Faust will join her as a ghost eventually]], as well as Yoh and Anna. In the epilogue, it was heavily implied that [[spoiler:Ren and Jeanne]] had a child together.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'': In the anime, Rin ends up with [[spoiler:his senpai Asa]]. Watching the [[RecapEpisode recap season]] ''Memories'' makes it more clear why he chose her.
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': The anime adaptation more or less cemented Lina and Gourry as an official pair since the end of season 2 [[spoiler:when they share a kiss in another dimension.]] This was carried on to the original novels, where at the end, Lina expresses hope Gourry will marry her.
* The official couples in ''Manga/SoulEater'' are Kim/Ox and [[spoiler:Marie/Stein, who are having a baby together]].
* Holo and Lawrence of ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'' [[spoiler:open a shop and have a child in the end.]]
* ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}'' has Sora and Sunao (or Yoru and Ran) and [[BetaCouple Nanami and Shinichirou]].
* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito and Asuna, who fall in love and [[spoiler:get married in-game]].
* Ran and Rui from ''Anime/TelepathyShoujoRan'' are a couple, and even the tinges of RomanticTwoGirlFriendship between Ran and Midori can't put any dents in that.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Simon and Nia, who were quite obvious even before [[spoiler:the time-skip]]. To a lesser extent, Kamina and Yoko also are marked as such in other media or merchandise.
* Akari and Hiroyuki from ''VisualNovel/ToHeart''.
* Taiga and Ryuji from ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}''. Kinda obvious from the series' name... ("Tora" = Tiger = Taiga, "Dora"gon = Dragon(Ryū) = Ryuji)
* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'': [[spoiler:Toriko and Rin got married.]]
* Kiba and Cheza in ''Anime/WolfsRain''.
* ''Manga/YandereKanojo'': The main selling point is the misadventures of the main couple, [[JapaneseDelinquents Reina]] and [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Manabu]]. There are also paired minor characters like [[PitbullDatesPuppy Reina's parents]] and [[UglyGuyHotWife The Principal and his wife.]]
* ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'': Coco and Nozomi. Really the only 100% official pairing within the rather large ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise thus far. Every season has at least one highly probable pairing, some of which are basically accepted as canon. But Coco and Nozomi are the only pairing [[spoiler:to have kissed, and Nozomi stated that she loved him in the final episode of the first season]], among many other lovey-dovey things that certainly didn't happen with other (potential) pairings.
* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'':
** Yuusei and Aki might never get stated as the official couple in as many words on screen, but it's pretty obvious that this is what they are by the end.
** Jack and Carly were very clearly this at the end of the Dark Signers Arc. [[{{Retcon}} Then the writers decided to pretend their]] RelationshipUpgrade [[{{Retcon}} never happened and erased all their romantic feelings out of existence with no prior warning]].
* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': Juudai & Yubel, along with Amon and Echo and (quite probably, given he chose to stay with her people) Taniya & Misawa.
* ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' has [[spoiler:Yuri and Victor, who kiss in episode 7]]. As of episode 10, [[spoiler:they are engaged]].
* Yusuke and Keiko, Sensui and Itsuki in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. [[WordOfGod Yoshihiro Togashi]] originally did plan for Hiei and [[spoiler:Mukuro]] to be an official item as well, but severe fan backlash prevented him from doing so (although the anime implies it in contrast to the manga). In the first drafts of the series, Hiei and Kurama were supposed to be in a romantic relationship but [[WordOfGod Yoshihiro Togashi]] decided to leave them as close friends which would explain all the HoYay between them.
* ''Manga/ZetsuenNoTempest'': Yoshino and Aika.
