I'm just really sick of love triangles. They've ruined my entertainment with many things. May it be Hunger Games, The Legend of Korra (if that even has one b/c the endpairing came out of no where), NARUTO (the main culprit), I'm just done with them. Of course, I can make exceptions if a love triangle is done well, but I just prefer that not to be a focal point of a story. Sometimes I don't care which couple it is in the end though when the manga supports both relationships. Love triangles aren't always needed to make both pairings work. When it comes to Magi, both AlibabaxMorgiana and AlibabaxKougyoku are fine by me. Or when it comes to Shokugeki no Soma, SomaxErina and SomaxMegumi work to.
If there is a love triangle coming up in Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, it better not be dragging down the story. Most of the time my major tick with love triangles is that it makes the reading so incredibly frustrating.
I understand your point. Love triangles dont really bother me as much as it does to you.. i even enjoy it at times as some romcoms i like have LT..unless its poorly done like that shoujo i read a long time ago.. i even forgot the title but i remember my annoyance clearly.. its about a generic shoujo mc girl and 2 guys which are twins fighting over her.
Good news to you and the rest who hates love triangles.. akagami no shirayuki thoo...as it progresses without LT so far.. Obi's intention was always for the good of his master and his mistress.
Come to think of it. Zen and Shirayuki's charm is their honest approach in their relationship. They arent overly dramatic about it and actually talk to each other instead of having facepalm worthy misunderstandings. I find them adorable than cheesy.. they are friends who happened to have something more.
