* In ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', [[Dojikko|Nadeshiko]] falls [[Hot for Teacher|in love with her teacher]], and her parents disown her when she marries him after graduation.

The poor piano man commits suicide and the daughter runs away from the family. [[The Butler Did It|And the new family butler, who was the pianist's dad, kills the old man]].}}

* In ''[[Final Approach]]'' Ryo learns late in the show that this is why his fiance was given to him at the start of the story. His grandmother and her grandfather were once in love but were torn apart by her grandfather's family for being from a poor family. He relented to his family's wish and married another woman.
