== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Sora no Otoshimono]]'' features a chart. It includes the ''dog''.
* ''[[Love Hina]]'' and ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' (both written by Ken Akamatsu) have at one time or another had a character draw up a chart which tallied up in numeric form the relative levels of attraction/love that a group of girls has for the series' male lead.
** [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Chamo]] tries to pull out [http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6995/1191474655224jc3.jpg his chart] (see
** There's also [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abkMP58OLUA/Sp_OTSmR_vI/AAAAAAAAPeA/rMtOOsEYaMQ/s1600-h/%5BNegima%5D+Chart+up1055.jpg this], which shows the various relationships between the characters, as of chapter 255, though only the pink arrows indicate romantic relationships<ref>The best that my non-Japanese-speaking self can do is- pink=romantic, red=pactio, yellow=rival [[Defeat Means Friendship|who're often friends]], blue=familial, solid green=teacher/student, dotted green=admiration, purple=friendship, brown=antagonistic, grey=adoption. Blue Outlines are Negi's Class, Red outlines are the Baka Rangers. Yellow Boxes for those "[[The Masquerade|in the know]]", Grey boxes for those [[He's Dead, Jim|in the ground]]. [[All Love Is Unrequited|Note that all pink lines are monodirectional]].</ref>
** And [http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/305/negima.png here] is one in English with definite explanations of what means what. Current as of chapter 335, should be updated as appropriate.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* Since Seven Arcs loves to [[Ship Tease|tease]] the [[Shipping|shippers]], a relationship chart of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' is released every now and then. Of course, since Seven Arcs loves to ''tease'' the [[Shipping|shippers]], anyone not married is listed as "[[Just Friends|best friends]]" at best. Much pointing and laughing are probably involved here.
* One of these is at the front of the manga [[Keroro Gunsou|Sgt. Frog]]. Usually featuring every minor recurring character. It gets a bit cramped.
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' has a couple of these in the manga. Kaoru makes one, and not surprisingly [[Otaku|Renge]] does,
* ''[[Iris Zero]]'' features a fairly straightforward [http://www.mangareader.net/iris-zero/10/3 diagram] at the beginning of its third volume in an [[Bonus Material|omake section]] of sorts.
* Given [[Fairy Tail|Juvia's]] [[Shipping Goggles]] and habit of [[Twisting the Words]], she seems to believe that she's in a [[Love Dodecahedron]], to the point where [http://www.mangareader.net/fairy-tail/256/9 she actually made one of these].
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* Although it didn't appear in the comic book itself, DC once published one of these for the reboot version of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]] in poster form.
== Fan
* A version of this was used in ''[[The Mad Scientist Wars]]'', in a non-romantic version. The Tinker Family, after discovering that The Tinker Twins had adopted Desius and that Vladimir was the long-lost father of Chic Geek, Wallace Cane set out to create such a chart- It took up most of a table.
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
== Film ==
* Two of these are shown onscreen and described by the narrator partway through ''Brand Upon the Brain'', giving to the fact that [[Viewers are Morons|viewers are not]] [[Viewers Are Geniuses|geniuses]]. Each only contains three people, though, and each contains the ''same'' three
== Literature ==
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
* Used in ''[[Fire Emblem]] 10'', albeit more to depict character's military allegiences/family treesecret identities, with only a few critical romantic/familial bonds depicted; several characters had [[Multiple Endings]], after all.
* Several of these have been put out for ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' - most in the Anniversary Book which had one for every spin-off, but the most comprehensive one was in the original Ultimania guide which even included several minor characters such as Myrna, Elmyra, and Dio.
* [http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/8725/typemoonrelations.jpg A comprehensive chart] for ''[[Tsukihime]], [[
* ''[[Soul Calibur]] IV'' had a mostly non-romantic version of this, including every playable character from the game (including the bonus characters), as well as the two main swords.
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] Database'' had one, which was criticised for being somewhat inaccurate in places, but rather memorably made it so the fanboys could no longer ignore that [[Ho Yay|Volgin and Raikov]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3'' were lovers.
== Web Comics ==
* Parodied in [https://web.archive.org/web/20150109005211/http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=010403 these] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150108235620/http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=010404 two] ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' strips.
* Used straight in the same comic [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/980828 here]. Of course it's gotten considerably more complicated since then.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Questionable Content]]'' in [
* Played straight by Josh Lesnick, author of ''[[Girly]]'' (Although it is currently outdated by two years, and found only on his deviantART page [https://web.archive.org/web/20110503041215/http://joshl.deviantart.com/art/Girly-relationship-chart-37620093 here]).
* Parodied by ''[[
* The ''[[Walkyverse]]'' has a fan-drawn chart for [http://home1.gte.net/~cpq2ts42/twist3.gif the core cast]{{Dead link}}. Surprisingly complicated for an action-based strip. Somewhere out there is a chart showing the relationships between every one of the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|200 or so named characters]].
* Volume 4 of the collected ''[[Order of the Stick]]'', "Don't Split the Party", features a [[Loads and Loads of Characters|rather convoluted]] relationship chart. [[One Degree of Separation|Kevin Bacon]] is on it.
* The Author of [https://web.archive.org/web/20180721220127/http://amazoness.co.uk/ Amazoness!] Recently made up one [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030063331/http://amazoness.co.uk/chart.jpg Here]. It's fairly comprehensive too.
* In ''[[Homestuck|Homestuck's]]'' ''Hivebent'' arc, after an explanation of the sociology of troll romance, the author gives us an [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004303 animated] one.
