Mae_ Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just finished with Death Parade and I really liked how, by the end, they brought the leads closer together without doing so romantically! What are your favourite anime and manga where the lead characters grow to have a close yet platonic relationship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jot-Aro Kujo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hikaru no Go, despite what half the fandom thinks. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 3 also doesn't have any romance in it, unlike most of the other parts. (Unless you count random girls hitting on Jotaro and Kakyoin, or Polnareff... being Polnareff, but none of the characters end up in romantic relationships.) Meganebu is also a severely underappreciated, gorgeously animated comedy with fantastic platonic relationships between five characters. And of course, One Punch Man is always a good one. Also, Soul Eater! (The anime, at least, idk about the manga.) Knowing how shounen anime are, I genuinely expected Maka and Soul to end up in a relationship, so I was really shocked when the big ending thing actually, honestly was the power of friendship and only friendship.

Apathetic Echidna Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I was reading Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, even though I haven't finished it the friendships are interesting. Whenever questions about romance where brought up, in the case between the two main characters she ends up blanking him. Not sure how it will turn out, but I did hear that the ending was a rush job and some things are left unresolved...lets hope the 'romance' is something left unresolved.

I think I'm going to give Meganebu a watch too, it seems pretty different...and if not just for the fact that I love the artwork style too!

Jot-Aro Kujo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Meganebu is definitely a great show, although the first episode is very off-putting in some ways, so a lot of people didn't stick with it when it first aired... But I promise that's the only episode that's like that, so don't let it turn you away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mae_ Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 @Jot-Aro Kujo I'll take that into mind and try not to be offput! I like to get a few episodes in before I decide if I like the way it's going anyway haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
