[SPOILER] Manga, Anime, & LN Where The Girl MC Ended Up With Is Not The Main Heroine

[wuhugm]

I think this thread should be in either Custom Requests or General Anime, not sure

And more appropriate title should be : "[SPOILER] Manga, Anime, & Novel Where The Winning Girl is not The Main Heroine"

But for now let's put it here

I wanna compile a list of Manga & Anime Where The Main Heroine Doesn't Win
Sure the surprise is the best thing about thing like this, but nothing could be done with old completed Manga & Anime
So let's index them
(But don't say the winning girl, please~)

1. Has her name in the title or something referring to her (Toradora, Yuragi Yuuna, Zero no Tsukaima, Hidan no Aria)
2. Is the cover for Volume 1 or and in the One-Shot
3. Is beside the MC in the promotional pictures
4. Simply the first to meet and join the MC (Not always, but most of the time in adventure stories)
5. Simply has the most screentime
6. Has something that makes her inseparable from MC (Join Piloting, Life Sharing, Contract, Etc)
7. Is central to the plot of the story, or even she herself is the plot
8. The author said that she's the main heroine
9. The only one, who is allowed to do nothing and win
10. Usually the crush of the MC unless overridden by previous points
11. The decision on who's the main heroine should be taken within the first few chapters / episodes / volumes

I'll start, those I remember are (Suggested works from the entire thread have been added) :

The first girl is pretty much in love the MC's senior and the cheerleader (who was got introduced very late) was pretty much into the MC.

[wuhugm]

^For True Tears, Hitomi was clearly the main heroine, so no

[charasu]

Konosuba? WHAT?
－－－－－－－－－－

Oh, also, chiu sama winning negi bowl in negimagi, does that count?

[wuhugm]

^I think there's still some twist to Negima, so on hold

Konosuba? It has resolution?

Edit : Added Katanagatari to the list
Also Rental Magica for novel

[charasu]

You should add macross series, too :v

[Lex79]

Does Urusei Yatsura count?

[Sixth]
