*** Serpico, Farnese, and Casca? She pays more attention to Casca because that sort of her job; to babysit her. In fact, instead of being romantically interested in Casca, there have been numerous times where she's shown to be ''[[Green-Eyed Monster|jealous]]'' of her.
**** A more plausible secondary love triangle would be between Guts-Casca-Farnese. Currently, Guts is still completely in love with Casca, who unfortunately can't love him back due to a [[Go Mad From the Revelation|series of]] [[Near-Rape Experience|unfortunate events]], but he is totally devoted to her and only her and it is, in fact, the whole reason why Guts is on [[Find the Cure|his current mission]]. Farnese, on the other hand, is in love with Guts, but he doesn't see her as anything more than Casca's caretaker. While she cares for Casca a lot (which brings on [[Les Yay|some more implications]]) and she knows that it really isn't Casca's fault for acting like such, Farnese still can't fight with her inner feelings that Casca is ungrateful toward Guts which causes some resentment on her part. Wonder how that's going to turn out...
* Subverted in ''[[XxxHolicxxxHolic]]'', where Watanuki only ''thinks'' he's in a [[Love Triangle]] with Himawari (C) and Doumeki (A or B). In reality, Domeki and Himawari aren't particularly interested in each other romantically at all. In fact, [[Even the Guys Want Him|the person Domeki and Himawari are both interested in is quite likely Watanuki himself...]] this actually makes this instance a rather interesting example of becoming a [[Double Subversion]].
* A [[Love Triangle]] is practically a requirement for a Macross show. Each and every installment has featured one.
** ''[[Macross|Macross7]]'' is notable for one of the more irritating love triangles in that Mylene has a dedicated, loyal suitor in Gamlin, yet is unable to decide between his obvious affection and the brash emotional personality of Basara, who by all indications isn't even aware of her potential feelings for him and generally irritates the hell out of her more often than not. And besides that, Basara's not only attracted the obvious romantic attention of a biker girl secondary character, but is locked in a pseudo-love triangle over the [[Enigmatic Minion]] Sivil, with his competition being [[The Dragon]] of the series' first half, Gigil.

*** Sheryl's manga, ''A Kiss In The Galaxy'', {{spoiler|ended about as [[Wedding Day|you'd expect]] of a [[Shoujo]] shojo manga}}.
* [[Escaflowne]], a spiritual successor to Macross, ([[Word of God|as stated by]] Shoji Kawamori) was not without its share. The principle triangle involving [[Warrior Prince|Van Fanel]], [[Ordinary High School Student|Hitomi Kanzaki]], and [[Knight in Shining Armor|Allen Shezar]].
* The principal love triangle of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' encapsulates the primary female leads of the series, Kaname and Tessa, and their individual versions of affection for male lead Sosuke (who is unaware or just beginning to understand that he's in love with Kaname, and mainly sees Tessa as his superior officer and friend, much to her frustration).
** Plus the fact that Sousuke and karate club president Tsubaki can hardly stand each other is undoubtedly fueled by the fact that they're both smitten with Kaname.
** [[Your Mileage May Vary|Depending on how you look at it]], there is a weird, warped sort of love triangle between Sousuke, Gauron, and the twins Yu Fang and Yu Lan. With Gauron being [[Stalker with a Crush|completely and obsessively in love]] with Sousuke, the twins [[Wife Husbandry|loving Gauron]], and Sousuke... hating Gauron.

* ''[[As Told by Ginger]]'', "April Fool's": A is Dodie, B is a boy named Dustin, and C is Macie.
** ''As Told By Ginger'' again, "Love With A Proper Exchange Student" (the next ep in production order, actually): A is Dodie again, B is an exchange student named Joaquin, and C is Ginger.
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', "Gerald vs. Jamie O": A is Gerald, B is an older girl named Chloe, and C is Gerald's older brother, Jamie O. Not to mention Helga/Arnold/Lila, Helga/Arnold/Ruth, and Brainy/Helga/Arnold. This show ''lives'' off of this trope.
** It was even parodied in the episode "Quantity Time" when Helga and Big Bob went to see a musical called RATS. The singers started this:
