>entire show is just side girls mogging the main girl Many such cases.
>>287648030This is the modus operandi of harems. Make a lot of great girls but make the main girl shitty so the other girl's fans fight harder for them.
>>287648030pic unrelated?
>"we like him because... he's nice"
>>287648099Wise
>>287648030 Main girl exists solely to fulfill the “childhood friend” checkbox and then proceeds to lose in every conceivable stat. Meanwhile side girl shows up for 2 episodes, has actual chemistry, better design, better banter, carries the emotional beats, and then gets benched because “the promise from 10 years ago bro.” Authors really be writing peak alternatives and then shackling themselves to first girl sunken cost fallacy. Many such tragedies.
>>287648030Tenka is basically the main girl by now. She's the only one that is actually serious about Yuuki.

>>287648030Hair way too short for me to ever care about her.
>>287648099This. The main girl doesn't have to be special or unique because her role is to be the winner. It's already predetermined from Chapter 1/Episode 1. Since she's already won, why bother putting effort into her character/development/design/make her actually fight for the MC? She already won and we all know it, we've all known it for years.
>>287648202They are all sorta serious but tenka is on another level imo
>>287648168>"we like him because... he's nice"And he has unique powers
>>287648099High iq strategy.
is there ANY reasonably well made story(or rather, not a shit story) where a side girl wins, and it's not made for meme purposes or the author having a melty?

>>287651103Negima had random girl in the middle of the class who didn't even feature until chapter 12 but gradually became Negi's most healthy source of emotional support.I mean Negima and UQH have their own issues but that romantic arc was entirely reasonable.
>>287651103Yukime from Nube was a one-off villain that returned as a recurring side character due to her popularityShe mogged the originally planned love interest so badly that when the authors killed her off based on their original plan, readership dropped like a rock, and they quickly course corrected to bring her back as the main love interest
>>287648099Are there any anime/manga/LNs where the main girl is actually the most interesting and likable?
>>287648030The white hair really nerfs her, it's ugly as sin.
>>287648030well, shit happens.
