So a The Novel’s Extra best girl thread got me thinking about waifus and best girls in animes, novels, manga, etc. Then it got me thinking about Nisekoi’s Tachibana Marika. Who’s the best girl. Fight me! Anyhow, then it got me wishing for some fanfic where she finds a guy who actually deserves her. Then it got me thinking about Golden Times and things like childhood first loves, second love and unrequited love, etc. So now I’m looking for anything(novel, manga, original, anime, movie) where there’s a male protagonist and he heals the heart of the female lead who’s first love was never reciprocated. Another thing, I DON’T want it to be like the girl was dumped or cheated on or played with her feelings or her engagement broke or something like because her first love was a jackass. I want it to be just that her first (or past) love/crush was never meant to be and just a natural and realistic part of life and love. It was just that the guy never shared the same feelings or liked someone else. Not that he needed a face slapping and didn’t have eyes.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile Female lead and second male lead broke up because they can't cope with the long distance relationship caused by his profession. Male lead to the rescue, who has the same profession as the ex.
