Arguing Couples Challenge

[Kristen]

Read 15 volumes of manga that feature couples that argue and/or deny their feelings for each other. Examples: Maid Sama, Love Com and Inuyasha.

Tell us what you are reading for this challenge here!

Majority of the series I read end up with arguing couples, lol!

I second that LOL ;)

Here's what I've read so far

Volumes 4 - 12 of Nana. And I consider Nana and Ren to be the couple denying their feelings for each other or the couple in conflict.

Would Skip Beat count for this challenge?

I would say so. Ren fights his attraction to Kyoko and Kyoko is deliberate obtuse about it even though she senses something.

Yea... definitely denying their attraction couple.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure how much of my manga will count. XD

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

(I'm counting "Tramps Like Us" because Sumire's obviously got something for Momo but doesn't realize it in general)
(Kansuke has a bit of a Tsundere approach to his crush on Sakura in Cat Paradise)

I read these volumes that were sitting in my collection for awhile. My interest waned since it felt that the story was going in circles but it is really cute. Totally denial of feelings on the part of Yuurin. Haku is aware of his affections for her but doesn't aggressively pursue it. It's actually kind of a weird situation truthfully.

So I just want to clarify something: Does a manga count if the couple gets together right away, but are constantly at odds with each other? Just to give an example, pretend Kagome and Inuyasha became a couple in the first volume of Inuyasha and continued to bicker about things such as letting others join their group/how best to handle certain situations. Would they still count for this challenge or would they be disqualified because they never denied their feelings?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but out the examples that I've read it seems like denial is almost necessary to distinguish the aforementioned couples as "arguing couples" since almost every couple argues at some point.

[Kristen]

That's totally fine. I'd say it counts.

I counted Fushigi Yugi since Yui likes Tamahome but Tamahome isn't interested. I'm considering unrequited love as part of this challenge, partly to open up the amount of manga everyone can read. So, it can be bickering couples, couples who deny their feelings, characters with feelings of unrequited love, or characters that are unsure of their feelings.
