I'm wondering if there's a romantic comedy/drama where the main couple doesn't really like each other at first, but fate does everything to get them together. For example, if there's a school project, after school cleaning, bravery test, etc, the lottery or class vote always pick those two. And if they accidentally bump or trip into someone, or catch someone naked in the locker room or bath, or accidentally kiss someone, it's always the other person. And if any rivals enter the scene, they're immediately struck with bad luck and accidents if they try to interfer with the couple.

And in the end fate wins

Hmm Toradora! is a bit like that, but not quite..

And Zero no Tsukaima maybe.

________________

B. Shock! by NAKANO Junko should work, though it's not fate that keeps them together... Rom-com with some over the top comedy elements if I recall correctly.

Half & Half (SEO Kouji), both one-shot and series, also matches your request in a way but the one-shot surpasses the series by far.

Seconding Toradora! because it's one of my favourite rom-com series.

Just wanted to point out that Half link you posted lead to a different manga with the same title. Half & Half (SEO Kouji) is the one you had in mind.

Good thing you provided the authors' name as well, huh.

Unfortunately I've already watched the anime of Toradora and Zero no Taikaima, and don't feel like reading the manga too.


Will take a look at B. Shock and Half & Half.

Thanks!

Well, the premise fits, but it is a harem, and since it is still ongoing, the first girl may or may not end up with the main guy...

Thanks for the hint, I wouldn't have realised it at all. I've corrected it now.

Hannune Banhada! Season 1 and the sequel Hannune Banhada! Season 2 might be a perfect match to your request, because the main couple really is fated by the red thread and they both don't want to accept this. The drawing style looks a bit unusual, but the comedic lines are pretty funny and the male counterpart of the main character is quite amazing IMO. ^^

Thanks! Will take a look and read a few chapters of your recommendations.

If it's only based on title, I would recommend Omae o Otaku ni Shiteyaru kara, Ore o Riajuu ni Shitekure!
Well the hero is otaku that wants to be a riajuu (kinda stylish person) so that he could approach the girl-of-his-dream, and the heroine is a riajuu that wants to be otaku so that he could approach the boy-of-her-dream. And so they 'help' each other...
Doesn't fit your description, eh

________________

Cheese in The Trap a manhwa not a manga... but good. The heroine disliked the guy at first because the guy seems like hated her and he always ignored her. But one day, suddenly the guy was being nice to her, and eventually they become closer and now in relationship. Though the heroine still has some suspicions towards him and it's still a mystery why the guy suddenly acts so nice to her.

5-ji Kara 9-ji Made Arranged marriage, the heroine doesn't like the guy because he is a monk and she likes modern life since she is an english teacher

Reimei no Arcana Arranged marriage between two nations. The princess actually has a loyal servant with her (who looks like have a romance feeling for her lol). The princess hated the prince at first since he was rude. But the prince was moved because the princess was cheering for him and started being nice to her.

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Arranged marriage between two nations. Kinda similar with Reimei no Arcana but shorter.

Whoa, I rarely read school life romance nowadays. So sorry if my recommendation doesn't fit your taste
