Love triangles not going the way you wanted (Possible spoilers)

Poll
The Love triangle didn't end the way you hoped it would. How do you feel about it?
Outraged, it would have been better if the one I rooted for won. (Killed the story for me)
It was a good story, so I don't care if my contender lost.

Love triangles not going the way you wanted no - What are some manga (Or anime) that you finished where the one you were rooting for in the *love triangle lost.
How do you generally feel about it when this happens?
*Love triangle, or Love polygon.





For me -
Crazy for You
Otomegokoro
Jigoku Yuki Bus (second story)
Shite, Okeba Yokatta Koukai (last story ... if this counts as a love triangle)
Rumbling Hearts
With all of these it didn't end the way I would have hoped it would, and ruined the for story for me.
For Jigoku Yuki Bus it was mainly due to the way it was presented. I blame it more on terrible execution, than the male lead choosing someone else.
I really can't decide which is worst ... It's probable a tie between Rumbling Hearts, and ... wait no, that one was the most aggravating ending for me.
(I wonder if anyone would mention Fruits Basket I remember back when the manga was being published my friend was rooting for Yuki, and I was for Kyo.)

I honestly think if the mangaka executes the story in the right way, the reader would always choose the one who ends up winning in the end.

exactly this. I try to stay away from triangles anyway but yeah.
So far I had only one case where instead of picking the cute, friendly, caring, and funny childhood friend he picked the cold, non-caring, arrogant love-at-first-sight-girl who never did even one thing for him, NEVER.

But even in simpler cases this would annoy me, especially when cold female leads are involved who never show any sign of attraction (unlike tsundere who at least show something) and there is some happy and funny girl around actually doing something...
