Preferably main guy x main girl x other guy.

It's pretty much established that the main girl and main guy like each other, but the other guy comes in to cause drama/misunderstandings/etc. Maybe he forces a kiss on her and the main guy sees it. Maybe, he lies to cause problems for them. The other guy is clearly the bad guy in this situation. Maybe the 2 have a falling out over this, but they get together in the end.

I usually try to avoid love triangle stories, but I'll read triangle stories that don't feel so much like one. Not many triangle stories under my list. We know who to usually pair so we can care less/worry about any third person intervention. Pretty popular cliche/trope in shoujo for a jealous girl and guy to try to get in the way.

From what I've read:

Shoujo/josei mixture.

Skip Beat! - Third wheel guy dumped the main girl first. Girl seeks "revenge". Well, that decision lead her to the main love interest..... There is also a

"lite" fourth wheel stalker guy, who only did his actions as his own way of trying to top the third wheel in the same industry.


Cheese in the Trap - Currently, in its fourth season, things are getting really rocky where we don't know where the story is going. Could be a "fall out". Could be a character development moment. Oh, the drama. You'd just wish the two guys would become best friends again. =,=; However, for most of the first three seasons, we're led to believe that the third wheel is really trying to cause trouble for the main male love interest and bug the main female MC. Misunderstandings abound....

Kitchen Princess - Well, maybe a reversal main guy x main girl x other main guy? Whereas, the main guy is acting like the "third wheel". You kind of know he's going to be with the main girl, but the other main guy won her heart. Well, that is until.....spoiler... Things change after that spoiler. But then,

another guy shows up just to be the girl's rival in cooking.


DN Angel - This is more like main guy x main guy (in the same body, but he's the drama bringer whenever he shows up) x main girl x main girl's twin sister... And, it's not even a finished story. Not quite a love triangle, but a complicated love quadruple?

Shinshi Doumei Cross - Girl x Guy x third person

(twin brother of the guy)
One of Arina's most memorable work. Side warning that she did add in some lite BL for two side characters.

Although, one of the guys dresses as a girl for most of the story...
Come to think of it, there was also some drama between main girl and her best friend, but not over a guy.

The shoujos that really take this trope to heart, plus, "going to another world" trope to add to that:

Knight Fantastic Night - (manhua webtoon) This story is practically riddled with the "jealous girl" over third wheel girl's attempt on male love interest. Meanwhile, the male love interest also gets jealous over a third wheel guy's attempt on the female MC. Although, the female MC does stand up a few times for herself in the story, well, this is still shoujo to a tee.

Fushigi Yuugi - A classic. Girl x guy x other girl, who got jealous/angry of her best friend's outcome inside the book..... Misunderstandings, fights and

brainwashing
ensue.
