Line 23: Rei starts dating Mamoru in season one of the classic series. While she's portrayed as the Veronica to Usagi's Betty, in truth both of the girls bicker a lot, with Usagi sometimes having unprovoked jabs at Rei, and at this point Usagi has eyes only for arcade manager and [[Nice Guy]] Motoki. {{spoiler\|And in the end, Rei steps aside because she realizes that while she liked Mamoru, she didn't love him the way that Usagi does to the point of having a breakdown after learning the Dark Kingdom captured and brainwashed him. Plus, by then, a drifter named Yuiichiro catches her eye, to the point they become a couple in later seasons.}} In the anime, Makoto gets jealous when finding out that Motoki has a girlfriend, a [[Nice Girl]] named Reika who would be the Betty. Makoto would normally be the Veronica and prepares to sabotage the relationship, only to find out that she can't do it. When Reika is hesitant about accepting a job abroad that would separate her from her boyfriend, Makoto says that long-distance relationships work all the time, and encourages her that she and Motoki can still be happy, returning to their relationship when Reika's job is over. And indeed, when Motoki sees off Reika at the airport, both Makoto and Usagi are touched at how much the two care about each other. ** In the manga meanwhile, the Infinity Arc had Haruka hitting on Usagi while Michiru hit on ~~Mamoaru~~Mamoru. Mamoru has become the Betty while the mysterious Haruka who rides a motorcycle and kisses Usagi while they're both in serious relationships seems to be the Veronica. Turns out that Haruka and Michiru, Sailor Uranus and Neptune respectively, were investigating Sailor Moon to help stop the Silence. They apologize to her and Mamoru for the deception. Mamoru and Usagi also forgive each other when they mutually confess, acknowledging that they may be in love, but sometimes other attractive people will come their way. * ''[[~~XxxHolic~~×××HOLiC]]'' has Watanuki fearing that this dynamic is happening with Himawari, his crush, and his [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] Shizuka Domeki, a [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] classmate. {{spoiler\|Turns out that Himawari is a literal [[Doom Magnet]] that brings bad luck to people who encounter her; Domeki is immune because he naturally repels bad spirits. Yuko asked Domeki to befriend Himawari and Watanuki so that Watanuki would not suffer from the bad luck. Indeed, as time passes, Domeki seems more interested in ''Watanuki'' as a significant other rather than Himawari.}} * ''[[Yona of the Dawn]]'' has the titular character torn between her bodyguard Hak and her cousin Su-Won. Hak is [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] who often treats Yona like a child, while Su-Won is always sweet to Yona and giving her lovely trinkets. Then Yona witnesses Su-Won killing her father the king in cold blood, on her ''birthday'' no less, and then trying to murder her as well; Hak selflessly risks his life to evacuate Yona and cannot understand why Su-Won would do such a thing. We also find out that the trope is more complicated; as a kid, Hak make Su-Won promise to marry Yona so they could all stay together, as friends.
