Line 134:
* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' has childhood friend Rei (Betty) vs. Saeko (Veronica)
* ''Gakuen Babysitters'' has [[Shrinking Violet|Ushimaru]] (Betty) and [[Tsundere|Inomata]] (Veronica), who both like [[Nice Guy|Ryuuichi]] (Archie). In a subversion, Ryuuichi is neither [[Chaste Hero|interested]] nor [[Oblivious to Love|aware]] of their affections. More interestingly, they actually become [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|best friends]] by bonding over their mutual crush on him.
* While ''[[My Hero Academia]]'' is pretty firm on its [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] rule, there's two subtle examples, all of them involving [[The Hero|Izuku "Deku" Midoriya]]:
** His main [[Implied Love Interest]] is [[Only In It For The Money|Ochako Uraraka]], who fits the Betty archetype to a T. However, the series throws some Veronicas along the way, like the flirtatious [[Shameless Self Promoter|Mei Hatsume]] and the villainous [[Yandere|Himiko Toga]].
** Weirdly enough, his main [[The Rival|rivals]], [[Playing with Fire|Shouto]] [[An Ice Person|Todoroki]] and [[Hair-Trigger Temper|Katsuki]] [[Mad Bomber|Bakugou]], fit the archetypes to a T; with [[Friendly Rivalry|Todoroki]] as the [[Sugar and Ice Personality|cool yet kind]] Betty and [[With Friends Like These...|Bakugou]] as the [[Jerkass|anti-social]] Veronica. Fanworks of them (''specially'' the [[Guy-On-Guy Is Hot|slash kind]]) practically run on this trope, portraying them in a "[[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|sweet gentleman]] vs. [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|roguish bad boy]]" [[Love Triangle]].
