the "Sakura" character likes the "Sasuke" character, but she ends up with the "Naruto" character because their relationship is the one that's developed. I'm curious to know if there are any similar in anime or manga.

Hmm anime or manga, but as far as books are considered the one I know that is similar is the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

I know one , BUT i haven't read the manga ... only the anime and the manga still ongoing so it might change. The name of the manga/anime is Akatsuki no Yona , the princess love and engage with the prince , but the prince do bad things and the princess ended up leaving with one of her general. I repeat it still ongoing and the princess from the anime still has very strong feelings with the prince and shes kind of in denial she still can't believe what the prince have done (even after she witness/saw what the prince has done with her own eyes). Also there is still a romantic moment between the princess and the prince (which makes me drop the anime because i feel like the princess is stupid) , while it's true the princess starting to develop feelings towards her general that have been with her guarding her with his life the princess still some times think of her childhood memories with the prince (she thinks they can go back to the way before the tragedy , which makes her looks even more stupid in my opinion). This is from the anime , i don't know what happen in the manga so ... you might want to give it a try.

Guts, Casca and Griffith?

Guts, Casca and Griffith?

Hmmm, that is a good one. Though if it will end happily for Guts and Casca is up in the air. I hope it does especially considering all the kitten both of them have been put through.

That anime does not seem like the type to pull off a happy ending lol

I could see it maybe happening because despite all the terrible things, there's always been that air of hope for the characters.

Well, the ending to the original Berserk anime treated Casca far better than the Naruto ending treated Sakura. It's a matter of perspective

[Derock]

With that situation, Berserk is basically finding and struck rich with gold and diamonds. Naruto, however, is full of pyrite, which is a shame.

After what happened to Casca I'm actually glad she lost her memories. Bastard Griffith I hate him.

Not exactly an anime but "Good Doctor" Kdrama fits the description perfectly.

A lot of Hallmark Christmas movies play with this plot. As for any anime...I can't think of one with a same dynamic as Naruto's.

Toradora comes to mind a bit, although that is more a love box.
Baka no Test also comes to mind of a love triangle although it is with two girls (Three if you count the sister...you have to watch it to figure it out.) fighting over one guy....and a particiular homosexual student wanting the main as well. I don't know who he ends up with in the end if he does at all
Your Name has a cute love triangle that doesn't last too long.

Strike the Blood is actually a very good example of the guy gets with both girls since he is immortal and the two girls aren't. He actually has a kid with both of them.

There are many anime and manga that have a love triangle like Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. I don't have the names, but you can google.

 

Anime and manga that have a main secondary character like Sasuke, got the hero/ine to have a crush on him/her.

I specifically want 2 guys/1 girl. I will check out Strike though.

Even the Sasuke and Sakura of this series have a lot more chemistry and she is able to stand up to him when he is being too cold and harsh.

 

The closing scene of the MC being accepted is exactly how Naruto's hokage ceremony should have happened... A moment that emotionally resonates with you and not a joke chapter to make another character relevant to a never-ending story...

 

Slam Dunk was quoted by Kishimoto as an inspiration which happens to have a similar triangle love story. However, its an open ending but its heavily implied that Haruko's affection is switching slowly to Sakuragi. Rukawa is pretty much Sasuke but his exponentially better written and more likable.

Yeah, Kang was super likeable despite being a kitten at first. It showed he even did care about her, but he was still in love with his on-off fiancee who I liked with him. Besides some cool action scenes that he got, I never liked Sasuke. I especially started to hate him after him in part 2.

I wanted to suggest NANA but then I remembered that she actually took the Sasuke and well....

Yeah, I could never get into NANA.

^The series actually annoyed me more than Naruto in terms of shipping.

Reading about Berserk and Akatsuki no Yona...Spoiler alert, but Yona the princess is betrayed by her childhood friend Soo-won, and rescued by her bodyguard Hak. With the time they travel together, Yona kind of develops feelings for Hak. It's the scenario I would have wished for NaruSaku, but in Akatsuki no Yona, I don't like it. xD I don't really know why, but I really loved the Yona x Soo-won scenes. To be fair, Hak is more the Sasuke because he kind of acts a bit anti social.

Berserk with Guts, Casca and Griffith reminds me of Akatsuki no Yona - Griffith as Soo- won, Guts and Casca as Hak and Yona. Only that I never shipped Guts and Casca.

I realize that I kind of dislike the NaruSaku scenario in other animes.
