The Ex Files

Last request for this weekend! (I'm never satisfied with reading just one theme at a time. It's called Otaku ADD, lol.)
I want to read a romantic manga in which there is significant interaction either with the main character's ex or with their love interest's ex. Like, at least one of the people in the star couple has to talk to, interact with and spend a lot of on-screen time with their partner's ex, and/or their own ex, while in this new relationship. There should be at least a whole chapter with full-on interaction with the ex. NOT just a few pages of the ex quickly appearing and disappearing, but some sort of sustained presence of the ex over a period of time.
Any genre is fine, shoujo to seinen to BL.
Two examples...
Shoujo: Sensei!. The ex was such a bitch, honestly. Almost led to a break-up! And she stuck around for more than a volume, I think.
Yaoi: Doushiyoumo Nai Keredo. Totally opposite, the ex was really cool and sweet. She stayed for one or two chapters.
So have you discovered The Ex Files? THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE. Lol. 😀
Edit: When recommending, please tell me roughly how long (in terms of chapters/volumes) there is interaction with the ex.

It's pretty much the theme of Love Scar
the ex is the little brother of the heroine's boyfriend.

Ichigo 100% - Not until late in series that there is an ex- but there is a good number of volumes. I have not read it in a while and I lost interest in it. It is just that it is not my type of manga, and usually don't like those types of manga. But you might like it.
and that is all I can think of, sorry

Nishino is the ex cause of the on/off relationship.
When your love life goes nowhere, where do you escape to?

Thanks! Any more recs 😕 is greedy
Speaking of, wasn't there this josei smut manga in which this lady works at her ex-husband's place and he's trying to get back together with her, but she falls for a young tea master instead?
Sorry, can't remember the name... If anyone knows, pls tell me.

I didn't think of her, because he asked when in another relationship, anyway I understand now.
I thought of Pastel anyway, but again he's not really in another relationship, just interested in another girl.
