    To sum it short, I am looking for any novels, manga or anime, where the main lead falls in love or ends up with another girl differently from usual trope. What I mean by usual, is the fact that most of the time the main lead will end up with either his childhood friend, the girl who gave advices for hooking up with crush, or the heroine x that suddenly appeared and changed his life. I am so sick of such content, where you can see the ending from the first chapter/episode, and usually doesn't make any sense except those facts.
    Examples of such series: nisekoi, all of Seo Kouji works, megami sama.

    Sadly read this one years ago and fully matches my case, as I didn't expect such choise. Will need to reread sometime again :D

    Of couse I won't. I think many wish to find such series as there are way too many of such template unless it's full harem. Heck, even the newest nisekoi authors manga still continues this template and doesn't seem like unexpected would happen.

    I didn't watch it fully, only read the novel summary, but more or less it was also an obvious choise that was predicted multiple long ago.

    While looking for spoilers found this thread in animesuki: https://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=151565
    Some people there had already tried to compile a list of such novels, manga and anime. Though not all seem to fit that criteria (personal opinion), I think it's worth to check it out for interested people.
