Anime Love Triangles And Why It Sucks To Be The Best Friend.







Whether you're more of a Shoujo or Shonen watcher you'll always come across a character in the series that end up falling for a certain person and you end up getting butterfly feels in the stomach . However only to your hope crushed when the person they fell for likes another!!!!

Although some shows portray this more obvious then others depending what genre is the series geared towards too.

Now i want to point your attention to slice of life/romance anime. Most but not all are located in a high school which is not a bad thing, but i always wondered why not a place like a coffee shop? Anyways i'm getting side tracked. These type of anime usually revolve around 3-4 Characters
Male/Female Protagonist, Second Male/Female Protagonist and two best friends that accompany each protagonist. Now i present to you a written visual of a timeline of theses animes.


SHORT TIMELINE OF HIGHSCHOOL ROMANCE ANIMES ( SORT OF...)

Protagonist 2 Likes Protagonist 1 

Protagonist 2 best friend helps gain info by befriending Protagonist 1

Protagonist 1 best friend stops and says "WOAH BACK OFF" to slow down Protagonist 2 best friends progress

Eventually they all hang out together and do some school festivals and such. 

The results being Protagonist 1 best friend develops feelings for Protagonist 2
And Protagonist 2 best friend likes Protagonist 1

Some drama happens and major confrontations happens conclusion being

Protagonist 1 Ends Up With Protagonist 2

Despite the best friends putting more effort than the main characters the end up with the short end of the straw. (DEM FEELS WHEN THIS HAPPENS)

It's not always the same with everybody some best friends end up with the other best friend!


Conclusion
Try not to be the best friend but rather the protagonist!
