This time, I'm looking for a manga where a character figures out that another person has a crush on them, before they are ever confessed to, or even if the other person has done everything possible to hide the fact that they're in love.
It's kind of humiliating for the person you like to know that you like them before you even tell them - esp. when you really don't want them to know, because you think they'll turn you down, or it'll ruin your friendship, or whatever. (People have reasons not to confess! Or even to AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE, lol.)
Three situations I am looking for:
1. A loves B but is hiding it carefully; B figures it out.
2. A loves B but someone else (C or D) finds out, and either through the gossip grapevine or via some embarrassing incident, B also ends up finding out.
3. A loves B but some sort of completely unintentional action or slip of the tongue gives them away, and B realizes A's feelings.
I don't care how B reacts - whether they accept A or reject A or even choose some painful "neutral" path, like choosing to be friends or asking for more time to consider or even pretending like nothing ever happened and they never figured it out. Anything's fine as far as B's reaction is concerned - the main thing is, B finds out before A wants them to.
Any genre is fine - shoujo, seinen, yuri, yaoi, whatever.
