Female lead with one-sided love?
11 years ago
Posts: 45
Hi, i want a manga where the female lead loves/falls in love with a guy who likes someone else.
No unrequited love with the 'popular guy', unless it develops and is not at first sight.
I want the female lead to be either normal or unpopular. No beautiful, popular, every boy's dream female lead please.
No yaoi, yuri, shonen ai, shoujo ai, incest, our large age gaps please!
It can be a one-shot or a series, doesn't matter. It can have be open ended, closed ended, and may or may not have a happy end.
Examples:
18 Diary
Dou Danjo!?
Yuki no Kakera (one-shot from Natsu no Kakera)
Watashi no Koibito
Katakoi no Tsuki
Our One-Sided love (one-shot from Hatsukoi Hakusho)

One sided love isn't really my thing, and I think that's the only one I know.
Yes yes, I know I make longwinded comments, but that's just me >.<
I should proof read my comments more, but I won't...
So keep in mind I'm filled with typos

Focus on girl with unrequited love:
Strobe Edge
Ue Kara Kataomoi story 1
Datte, Kimi ga Warau kara. story 2
Senpai to Kanojo
Kanchigai Musume to Buchigire Ouji story 1
Benkyou no Jikan story 2
Ennui na Kanojo
Tonari no Atashi maybe
I have some more with unrequited love (but not with the story focusing in that love, more like "well, I like someone, but they don't like me, let's move on!", like Nanaco Robin), so if you like those, I can recommend others for you (most of them shoujo).
Very useful threads:

Ao Haru Ride - The female lead is pretty, but she isn't popular as she tries to be as low profile as possible, to avoid bullying. The male lead isn't in love with someone else, but certain circumstances prevents him from being with her.
Lovely Complex
Hana Yori Dango
Stardust Wink - Or so you think...
Cat Street
Liar x Liar - It fits your description in a way you probably didn't think of haha
Heroine Shikkaku

Regarding A Delicious Relationship - not at first, but he will, and
they in fact get together as our heroine has to decide whether to give up on him. Not much of a spoiler, but thought I'd throw that in there as this dosn't happen right away.
