I've been reading Kemono Jihen (haven't gotten very far yet), and it's made me hungry for a particular type of heroine: dependent types who are overly attached to villainous characters, desperate to please them and crushed to find themselves viewed with hate or indifference. Kon obviously fits this with how desperate she was at the start to please Inari and prove that she's a "good girl" to her mother figure. Fate Testarossa from the Nanoha series also qualifies with her desperate desire to please her mother Precia, completely unable to recognize that her mother loathes her and merely keeps her around as a tool. Naturally I'd like it if they eventually find a way to stand on their own two feet, maybe even facing off against the villain (who doesn't have to be a mother figure, just someone the heroine looks up to and wishes to please) and declaring their independence.

Mind you that this can also count as spoiler so....

If you're okay with manhwa / webcomics, I'd suggest Kubera. The MC has a pretty bad case of this for a long time.

Long, deep and interesting series too. Though perhaps a bit overly complicated at times.

I'm generally not a great fan of manhwa, though there are one or two Korean and Chinese products that I've enjoyed.
