'Only if it's done extremely well' would be my correct answer. Went with the 'Don't care' though.

And, I only speak for BL ones, as I haven't read any shoujo/shounen etc with one.

Hate them.
Because most of the time it only ends up with lots of retarded misunderstandings.

I hate them. It seems like something a lot of authors do when they can't come up with better ideas to add tension to the story.

I'd rather read a story about two people in love with each other getting through the tough times with each other than a story about indecisiveness but it seem like most of the stories use the love triangle situation. 🙁

If they're there, I don't care.

They can spice up a manga, though. The competition and rivalry a Love Triangle produces are always entertaining factors. The only thing that I don't like about them is when the two giving ends of the triangle start pushing for the receiving end to make up its mind.

There are other kinds of triangles, yet I don't notice them because, again, I don't care that much about them.

Love triangles can sometimes be interesting, but I hate it when 1 party loses out- especially if the rejected person is really nice and is genuinely in love with the person who is being loved by 2 people. Anything more than 2 people being interested in the same person is just too much for me, personally, and sort of unrealistic too. I guess depending on the story, a love triangle can either be an interesting plot device, or really annoying! 🤢

Quote from tactics

Love polygons and beyond is where the real fun begins 🤣

agree! It all depends on how good the writing is, but overall I like love triangles and polygons

It greatly depends on the skill of the author whether it's enjoyable or just plain annoying. Most often, unfortunately, it's the latter. So, in general, I absolutely hate them as they are used far too often as a sort of fall-back in order to create tension in a story when the ratings go down or the author simply doesn't know what to do next.

Though, nowadays, it's surprisingly difficult to find a manga where a love triangle or greater doesn't exist. Especially in shoujo, it's a constant element. In shounen, well...that's generally harem time isn't it?

To state it again: hate them >.<

Martial arts? Really? There are already so many manga out there revolving around martial arts I find it hard to believe people actually want more of them.

Most of the time I hate them because the characters usually suffer because of it. By suffer I mean it results in poorer characters.

Ex:Junjou Romantica Misaki-this is the best example of a character practically being destroyed for the sake of drama + love triangles. This guy does not grow, he does not learn anything, and the same scenario continuously repeats itself.

I think he commented on the result of the poll before.

Unless the triangle becomes a harem other than that I don't like them.

"Ewww, no romance at all"
Those exist? Like... Pokemon or something? Seems like every manga has some romance.

Kimi no Iru Machi! I made it to like chapter 70 before dropping it. I deserve a medal of valor for making it that far. Just so frustrating. Dude is a giant twat who cant make up his mind and the story is garbage (IMO) as a result. 🙄

Well, there are a few like Liar Game. Although there are a few people shipping AkiyamaxNao...considering Akiyama equates Nao with his mother, not likely ^_^ But no, there aren't that many manga without romance. It's the same with novels :/

I applaud you for even reading it. I tried, failed and I'm probably only going to continue for the sake of reading it >.> That really is a horrible series.

Love triangles get dull after so many. Especially the ones where no one seems to learn a damned thing so the "I'm jealous because I saw you talking to that other guy/girl and I'm not going to tell you why I'm mad so I have more reason to yell at you or cry to make you feel bad." <--- (By the way, I think we've all met a person like that. The "react first, ask questions later" type)
