And these came to mind...

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (novel/movie/TV drama):
Darcy and Elizabeth are in a hate-hate-love-love relationship. Hate on his side, hate on her side, love on his side, love on her side.

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou / His and Her Circumstances (manga/anime):
Arima and Miyuki keep up a Mr./Ms. Perfect facade in school. When Arima discovers Miyuki's true self, he himself changes, teases her, and makes her do things unwillingly. But behind all this, all he wants is to have fun with Miyuki.

Goong/Gung/Palace (manhwa/Korean drama):
Set in a modern day monarchy. Chae Gyong is your ordinary high school girl, when she suddenly finds out that her grandfather has promised her hand in marriage to the prince of Korea, Shin. At first, the young married couple don't get along too well. Chae Gyong hates the palace and Shin's arrogance. Shin likes another girl. Chae Gyong later falls for Shin and Shin does learn to love Chae Gyong as well. But, just when the two are now deeply in love, circumstances have to tear them apart.
Yes, I know it's shoujo-ish. It can get really angsty. Latest chapter reminds me exactly of Kallen and Lelouch except this couple's married. =_=

So what or who does Lelouch/Kallen remind you of?
Can you recommend anything to those who are searching for the same brand of fieriness in a couple, two people who reevaluate their not-so-good opinion of each other and become attracted to one another, strong tomboyish girl protects the (weak) boy and discovers her inner girl, or that bittersweet taste you experience from "star-crossed lovers" who are meant/ not meant to be for each other?

Oh, please do follow this format

Sengoku Basara/Devil King (Game)
Kasuga/Venus is the fangirl/bodyguard/sex symbol, while Uesugi Kenshin/Frost is the leader with a weird costume.

"I'll protect Kenshin-sama!"
"I'm that person's sword!"

And in the manga, Kenshin says something like "I can't lose you", oh well....


Legend of Galactic Heroes (Novel)
Reinhard is the emo emperor with childhood friend and sister complex.
Hildegard is Reinhard's advisor.
Comfort Scene.

Now that reminds me,

Berserk (manga/anime/game):
Well, this only applies to Casca who reminds me of Kallen: dark-skinned, black haired, commander of Band of Hawks, loyal fangirl of the leader, running a fierce rivalry-turned comraderie-turned romance with protagonist, turned *SPOILERS*amnesiac-mute-innocent girl who was raped by her leader*SPOILERS*

Thanks to Lie and blade for making me check out this manga!

i also once said that kallen reminds me of Casca

I'd say the season one Kallen is very similar to Casca. They both worship a man that leads a rag-tag band of rebels. But Casca never manages to get close to Griffith due to various circumstances.

Kallen in R2 is most similar to the LotGH character.

Another possibility that is somewhat similar:
Archer/Shiro x Rin in Unlimited Blade Works Scenario for Fate/stay.

Kallen is TTGL's Simon and Yoko's offspring!
LOL, now I'm not following my own format.

@ blade
I only recently started reading Berserk and was in fact reminded of your post about Casca.

@ frost
Then I'll just pretend that, in an alternate universe, Kallen and Lelouch end up like Reinhard and Hilde.
But, oh...
Reinhard is going to *** and Hilde will be a *****.

Ohhh!! When is Casca going to return to her old self?

That's a spoiler blotty! We cannot say. No we cannot.

Kallen is Simon and Yoko's off-spring? That does make sense, but I prefer to just call her Yoko V2, or Simon V2.

but that makes no sense
we know who kallen's father is
Domon Kasshu

Gintama (Anime/Manga)
Well....It's just that I want to strangle Hijikata as well for leaving Mitsuba behind.
Hijikata leaves for Edo(?).
Mitsuba wants to be with him.
Hijikata rejects her and is todally "Meh" about her for years.

Mitsuba finally decides to stop waiting for him and comes to Edo to marry her fiance (who turns out to be the evil boss of the arc<-monster of the day, ROFL).
*spoiler spoiler spoiler*
Hijikata goes to kill her fiance.
and then?
"I just want the woman I love to be happy".
And then she dies.
Spoilers for Mitsuba arc.

Naruto (Anime/Manga)
SasukeXSakura. By character design Sakura and Kallen are clones...and Sasuke is the emo kid who wanted to revenge his clan.
Crush->deep love development pre-time skip
*spoilers*
Sasuke wants to wipe out Konoha right now, we'll see whether or how Sakura is gonna stop him.

Shin Sangokumusou/Dynasty Warriors (Game)
Lelouch is the illegitimate son of Cao Pi (ambitious and sexy prince of Wei, who wants to surpass his dad btw) and Sima Yi (chief tsundere strategist with maniac laughter). *gets shot*
Zhen Ji is Cao Pi's loyaaaaaaaaal wife.
They meet on the battlefield one day. Cao Pi hits on her and sweet-talks her into joining him. The rest is NSFW.
"I'll never let anyone lay one finger on My Lord!"

Domon is the godfather who tossed baby Kallen up and down and later rubs off on Kallen!

I just read the latest Vampire Knight chapter today. The first few pages of Yuki thinking about Zero sort of reminded me of Lelouch and Kallen relationship.

@Son
Ch 47? I was just talking about VK with Lie and dec just a few weeks ago and was also reminded of Kallen and Lelouch. Do you think VK'll end tragically?
To me, Yuki=Lelouch and Zero=Kallen, in how Zero reveals his feelings to Yuki and at the same time declares her his enemy. Then, Yuki realizes that Zero already held those feelings much earlier.

Has anyone here read Hot-Blooded Woman? It's a Korean manhwa.
The girl is naive, a huge glutton but a very strong fighter, while the guy is a smart, rich boy who likes keeps a poker face, says the opposite of what he feels all the time. Girl meets accident, wakes up to find herself in the body of a delicate and beautiful girl who goes to the same school as the guy and coincidentally, is hated by him so much. Guy is amused to find that delicate girl has changed so much and falls for her, but he still acts like he's disgusted by her.

@ blotty
Yeah, I think VK will end in a tragic way. Especially Yuki and Zero. I'm expecting one of the two by the end to regretfully end up dying. I agree with you who Lelouch and Kallen would be in relation to Yuki and Zero. I think Kallen could also be Yuki in a way. They both realized the other person's feelings through the kiss(going by Kallen's poem and other statements). And how Kallen doesn't want to cry(character song)/wants to hide that part of her just like Yuki(difference is Kallen is waiting for Lelouch who's gone).

@Son
*gulp* While we all expect tragedy, a small part of me hopes that Hino Matsuri does something unexpected. I have this feeling that the mangaka likes Yuki/Zero but caters to the Yuki/Kaname fans. It's strange that Yuki/Zero is more popular in Japan, but overseas, it's the opposite.
Do you think what Yuki feels for Kaname is really love? Or is it some sort of dependence/reliance, being isolated from the real world and having spent most of her childhood with just Kaname, a blood attraction or a case of vampires just being twisted.

I don't think Yuki feels for Kaname romantically. Just a case of Yuki having spend alot of her childhood with Kaname. She probably feels like she should stay by his side.

And I agree with Son. Kaname isn't a lover for Yuuki. now I just hope that for Zero and Yuuki we'll have an happy end (unlikely ? yes but...)

I'm surprised to see people make paralls with Yoko BTW. because I kinda...hated Yoko with a passion ? Kamina as well though, they ruined TTGL for me.

I prefer to see Kallen as Simon :'P

Oh and Kallen x Lulu(More Zero though...) reminds me...let's see...Eve and V ?
V for Vendetta ftw.

This doesn't remind me of rurukare/kalulu but maybe more of Kallen's conflict of her feelings for Lelouch that occurred during the show.

I've been watching Casshern Sins and the most recent episode 18, sort of reminded of Kallen a bit. The episode was all about Lyuze(my avatar and sig) having an dream. She was in conflict between getting revenge for her sister and what her feelings were for Casshern. I think its similar to Kallen in the sense that Kallen was confused on what she should after turn 19 especially saying to herself she won't be able to move on without getting an answer from Lelouch during turn 21.

Lyuze dream sequence was very unique. Recommend watching Casshern Sins episode 18.
