I'm looking for a romance between two people, say, A and B, whose story goes something like this:

A is desperately in love with B.
B couldn't care less - or likes A, but in a non-romantic sense.
A pursues B relentlessly, or just tries really hard in a sweet sort of way.
B finally agrees to go out with A, even though B doesn't love A romantically.
And they both know it.
Maybe B agrees out of pity, duty, friendship, loneliness, curiosity, or even boredom.
Or maybe B just wants to get laid.
Whatever it is, A's okay with it. "I'll take what I can get."
But slowly, B actually does grow to love A.
Finally, they are in mutual love with each other.
Yay! The end.

THE END MUST BE HAPPY, DAMN IT. biggrin

I want to see B learning to love the person they've agreed to date/marry, even though there weren't any romantic feelings to begin with. I really enjoy those moments of slowly growing love/attraction/affection, in which B sees something beautiful/charming/sweet in A and learns to love A for who A is, with time.

Basically, I'm looking for a relationship that starts as unrequited love but becomes requited.

Usually, the flow of a romance manga is:

unrequited love -> requited love -> relationship

But I'm looking for:

unrequited love -> relationship -> requited love

Think you can find that for me?

Please help! Thanks!

Any genre except hentai is fine.

Parfait Tic

But you have to read awhile to get to that point. I'll explain how the romance goes, but if you want to be surprised, then don't read it (though I'm assuming you don't, since your request is so specific).
Spoiler (highlight to view)
A likes B. C likes A. B rejects A, and after awhile, A starts to like C back. However, due to miscommunication and another complicated relationship, even though C likes A and A likes C, C ends up (sort of) rejecting A. A is really sad. This next part is what fits with your request. B starts to like A, but A doesn't like B back anymore. B hates to see A so sad over C, so he tells her he'll make her forget about C. A and B start going out, even though A still has feelings for C. After awhile though, she gets over C and falls for B.


Edit: Shinshi Doumei Cross also works.

A has liked B for a long time, but he's not interested in her. Then he decides to use her love for him and make her his fake girlfriend so that other girls will quit bugging him. Of course she agrees, and he begins to fall for her (but then things get complicated, and a bunch of mistaken identity stuff happens. Does have a happy ending, though.)

The only one I can think of is the second chapter of Yanjing Linren Chao. It's a pity Fifay disbanded before finishing it.

If friendship counts as a relationship, Half and Half fits. Even if it doesn't, it's still a good story. It hasn't been scanlated, though.

Do you accept fanfic? If you're a fan of the Titanic, here's a non-canon sequel of what happened to Rose and Cal after the incident. It's quite a good fic, they're very much in-character..
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5414493/1/Consolation_Prize

A (Cal) is desperately in love with B (Rose).
B (Rose) couldn't care less - or likes (Cal), but in a non-romantic sense [Just like in the movie].
A (Cal) pursues B (Rose) relentlessly, or just tries really hard in a sweet sort of way. [Well technically he tried to kill Jack lol]

---[Here's what happened in the fic]
Spoiler (highlight to view)
B [Rose] finally agrees to go out (continue on with their marriage) with A [Cal], even though B doesn't love A romantically.
And they both know it.
Maybe B [Rose] agrees out of pity, duty, friendship, loneliness, curiosity, or even boredom..[Rose is destitute in New York and was so desperate that she had to ask for Cal's help...money..because she was pregnant with Jack's child]

Whatever it is, A's (Cal) okay with it. "I'll take what I can get."..Actually Cal said, 'Any other man in his right mind would have left you to die in the streets, you little slut.'

But slowly, B (Rose) actually does grow to love A (Cal). [In a complicated kind of way..she realises how naive she was when she was with Jack.. and whatnot]
Finally, they are in mutual love with each other. The fanfic's still on-going but the author said it's almost reaching to its end


It's a pretty good fic. It explores both characters in greater depth after the movie.

Doesn't Seven Days work something like this? It's been a while since I've read it, so I'm not sure how closely it sticks to the parameters of your request, but there definitely is an aspect of "I'll go out with you just because you asked me, even though I'm not actually in love with you."

in seven days, they both donĀ“t love each other at the beginning

I just remembered Goong. But since the manhwa is far from over, watch the drama. At least that one's complete, with a happy ending.

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen fits what you are asking for.

Royalty from two warring countries decide to get married in order to stop the feuding. Initially they appear not to get along very well and to have entered into the marriage only for the sake of political reasons, but you find out pretty quickly (within the first few chapters) that Prince Johane has actually been in love with Princess Euda the whole time. So the flow of the manga is to get Princess Euda to return his feelings.

To be honest, I didn't care for the manga and dropped it after a while, but a lot of other people seem to really like it, so you might too.

@ chibilin: The main couple doesn't get into a relationship until the very end of the manga in Strobe Edge, so it doesn't fit the unrequited love -> relationship -> requited love relationship pattern.

Black Bird

Bara no Tameni

I'm not sure about 100% Perfect Girl. She said she likes him but not enough to be romantically involve with him because loving him because of his dazzling look is just wrong. But I do think she likes him from the beginning. Anyhow, I like this manhwa. The man is such a sweetie overall but wonder if he could be less possessive he'll make a great male lead

Ingenuo: she likes him obviously but he's kinda no, yes, but I can't and then eventually YES! lol...

maybe The Prince's Cactus: since he's the one who chased her first

and Tokimeki Tonight

seconding Goong, Hana Yori Dango, Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen
