Recommend me a romance manga where the romance between the Beta/secondary couples are more cuter and better than the main couple, i am starting to like the romance between the secondary characters than the main couple, so please recommend some that are like

Touka and Uka from Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha
Shinobu and Chihiro from Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!!
Chizuru and Ryuu from Kimi ni Todoke

Thanks in advance

All the side characters have better romance than the boring main characters in Special A.
I like Rena/Naota in Usotsuki Lily.

Can't think of any others for now though I'm certain there's quite a lot. I always don't remember shoujo plot much.

Boy Princess, seme's younger sister x uke's older brother (sorry forgot their name)
They, Too, Love, the gay one x the stylish-pretty-confident-girl-that-used-to-be-a-nerd-and-really-smart one, well technically they weren't a couple but it was an open-ending for them I guess
Do Whatever You Want, the easygoing mature guy (one of the main chara) x painter girl, not really a 'secondary' since there's no 'main' one, but their relationship wasn't the focus and I like them better than the main one (friendship between the male leads)
Golden Days, the guy from the future that own a cafe x his employee (a maid)
Youth Gone Wild, the bassist x ex-vocalist
Also seconding Rena/Naota from Usotsuki Lily
And yeah I found secondary couples from Special A are more interesting than the main one, they're fun at first but got old real fast

Thank you so much, i will make sure to check them all out.

Tonari no Kashiwagi-san - sounds bad to say, but the the main couple story is boring and nothing much has happened (at least not yet). But a background couple has a real story behind it with actual background and motivations showing why they sometimes act as they do. Eventually they are adorable with each other.

About Tonari no Kashiwagi-san, i read it a few days ago and i agree the secondary couple is just too awesome, it's the type of manga i am looking for now.

Sasayan & Natsume are really cute in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

This thread might give you some ideas too

Cool! i will check it out, and thanks for the thread, it seems really helpful.

14-sai no koi might fit (though I wouldn't say the main couple is bad in any way)

The height difference beta coupe in Hatsu Haru is the reason i didn't drop it yet so how come they aren´t the leads? The background romances in X are also way better.
Nana wins this race for me though where Nana Osaki is arguable the secondary lead but she is certainly the one i prefer to read about. Yasushi Takagi´s love life is also way more interesting and... The lead Nana Komatsu isn´t a bad idea and it is interesting to see her dig her own gave but she is just the worst from a sympathy standpoint so let´s leave it here and this happens all over the place if leads aren´t the most defined characters in a book.

A bit of topic as Triela´s story in Gunslinger Girl is a deconstruction of romance tropes if anything but she straight out took the book over as time went on (the last chapter is all about her) so more beta´s need and should turn into alphas instead as it can work out.
One can overdo it as Kare Kano´s 2nd big arc stopped the whole narrative for volumes to focus on a beta couple only to then go back to all the other stories in the third act.
