First Girl Wins: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' has the trope and a [[Gender Flip]]ped subversion: {{spoiler|The main female character, Honda Tohru, meets Sohma Yuki before Sohma Kyo but develops mutual romantic feelings for Kyo. Later, Yuki starts a relationship with the first student council girl introduced, Kuragi Machi.}}

** [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]], however, in the manga: {{spoiler|when discussing the various Zodiac signs, Tohru makes ''reference to'' the Cat first, which turns out to be the animal Kyo is cursed with. In the flashback which introduces the story, Tohru's mother tells her the story of the zodiac and how the Cat was tricked by the Rat; Tohru insists that from that moment on, she is going to "be" a Cat. It also may be relevant that Tohru's ''Mom'' knew Kyo well before Tohru did}}.

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', although Sousuke knew Tessa before Kaname, the first girl who is introduced is Kaname. She's also the first girl to show (at least to the audience - obviously, Tessa had already been romantically interested in him offscreen) romantic interest in Sousuke. And she's also one of the last girls to admit her feelings for him. This makes Tessa something of a sort of [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] (although she didn't know him since childhood - just much earlier than Kaname did). Interestingly enough, it's been speculated by quite a few fans that if he had actually met [[Fan-Preferred Couple|Nami]] (from the novels) before Kaname, he would have fallen for ''her'' (seeing as how, after spending a little time with her, and even after having already fallen in love with Kaname, he started developing feelings for her and even considered settling down with her).

* [[Gender Flip]]ped on ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'': Hotohori, Tamahome, Nuriko (maybe) and Tasuki all like Yuuki Miaka. Tamahome was the first guy introduced. Draw your own conclusions.
