I'm looking for series with complicated love polygons that involve a lot of people. I've tried searching the forums, but couldn't find a topic searching for the same thing. And I have looked in the love polygon category, but there are too many to look through. A lot of the ones I checked out only involved four or five people, so I thought I'd ask for suggestions to make the searching a bit easier without having to spend hours reading a series only to find out it's not at all what I wanted.

An example of a situation I'm looking for would be:
A likes B who likes C who likes A. D likes B. E likes D. F also likes A, and there's a bunch of people who like F. Then there's G who likes C but has a complicated relationship with H who has a sibling complex for E.
It's more like relationship lines scribbled all over the place than a polygon.

What I'm NOT looking for:
I do -not- want: A likes B. B secretly likes A. Other people like A or B but really don't have much of a chance.

Some manga that fit the type of polygon I want:
Ame Nochi Hare (Bikke)
School Rumble
Wa! (KOJIMA Akira) (although it's a circle)
Hatsukoi Gentei
To a certain extent, Naruto's love polygon might fit, but.. eh...

Manga that don't quite fit (they might later on, but probably not):
Hirunaka no Ryuusei
Taiyou no Ie (This one might later. Who knows.)
Mairunovich
Heroine Shikkaku (actually, this one is close but it doesn't have enough people involved to make it what i'm looking for)

The manga doesn't have to focus on romance. I'd actually prefer if it was more focused on relationships and characters in general. Ame Nochi Hare is probably the best example of what I'm looking for.
Anime, drama, and novel recommendations are also welcome as long as they fit the criteria and are available in English.

Most genres are good as long as they include the type of love polygon I'm looking for. I'm not a big fan of horror, though..
BL and GL are welcome as long as it's not hardcore yaoi or yuri. No hentai, but ecchi is okay.

Thank you! (:

Well, that's... complicated.

the only one coming to my mind is NANA
there are love polygon circling 2nd main chara.
or Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru there are love polygon between main chara (forgot the name), her boyfriend, her boyfirend's director, her boyfriend's band mate, and a singer.

sorry if those not complicated enough for you cool

Hm. I've heard of both of them, but haven't read them yet. I'll check them out! Thanks!
And they may not be as complicated or involve as many characters as I'd want, but they do seem interesting. (:

The difficulty of maintaining alot of people altogether is not easy for the mangaka and the reader.
Its hard to memorize the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and their complicated situation.
The only thing that comes in my mind is School Rumble but of course you already found it.
Other manga that I know involving alot of people, would just gonna be fall into Harem category instead of Complicated Love Polygon.
IMHO these are : Love Hina, Mx0, Pretty Face, Ai Kora, Mahou Sensei Negima
Im not really sure, but how about this category?
