This is something that has bothering me for a while. What do you consider a cliche pairing?
To me its the main guy,main girl pairing and the secondary "cool guy" pairing. I know a lot tend to disagree with the secondary cool guy pairing because at least from what i can tell. It rarely in mainstream media which is true compare to the main lead and female lead. But to me it depends, If its a cool guy that tends to be better than the main character and is a pretty boy i still find that as a cliche. That idea has been played around a lot before even if it never gets to the point where the pretty boy/cool guy has actual feelings for the main female lead later on. I even heard a forum member in this site said that in the shojo genre the cool guy always tends to get the main girl meanwhile the main character is a loser. Another cliche would be childhood romance, first love. and (this kinda ties in with the cool guy pairing) its the whole perfect guy that every girl dreams of.
Whats your opinion?
