So we all love (Or eventually come to dislike) the main pair in a romance-centric series, of course...but who are the best beta/secondary couples that you have come across? I'm talking about those like Nina and Tsujiai in Ultra Maniac, Chizuru and Ryuu in Kimi ni Todoke, Takenaga and Noi in The Wallflower, Akira and Tsubaki in Rockin' Heaven, etc. etc.

I personally prefer the story of the beta couple most of the time, since they are less in the spotlight and their relationship almost always seems more genuine. They also add extra dimensions to the main couples story most of the time (e.g. Main couple learn from their relationship). Have I missed some great pairings that you love? Do tell! I must've not read many series that have strong beta couples, and I don't want to overlook any biggrin

Haha~ I totally agree with you! (Sometimes the main couple's relationship just becomes so draggy and boring. bigrazz)

My personal favorites are Sasayan and Natsume (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) and Shinobu and Chihiro (Suki desu Suzuki-kun) ^_^

I second this! Lately, I am getting more into them than the main pairing! biggrin

Others I like:

Kiyoshi/Rena from Dengeki Daisy
Eun Taek/Bora from Cheese in the Trap
Tadashi/Akira from Special A
Watanuki/Karuta from Youko x Boku SS
Ryu/Chizuru from Kimi Ni Todoke

Don't forget Fukuda Sakaya and Kusano Kazuki from SHIMOTSUKI Kinusa's Tonari no Kashiwagi-san!
With the protagonist being extremely slow and quite idiotic at times, I soon found myself following the romantic development between the main couple's best friends. Simply adorable!

And another beta pairing you shouldn't miss:
Yoshii Rio and Miyagawa Takeru from Love So Life by KOUCHI Kaede! How can you not root for them, after
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Rio showed such bravery and publicly kissed Takeru-kun on the lips in order to make him understand her feelings? Way to go, girl!

I secretly ship Kiki and Mitsuhide from AKIZUKI Sorata's Akagami no Shirayukihime although I'm not sure if it's going to happen at all.
