Anyone else also bothered by this?

Love Triangles, alas to me are an annoying cliche. So long as Romance serves as a sub-lot, Eru and Houtarou naturally hooking up together over a period of character development sounds very, very unique and refreshing to me, in the world of recent Romance animes, especially of the Rom-Com variant. Worst offenders are the Harem Echii Rom-Coms.
