Side Couple Syndrome

I LOVE SIDE COUPLES

This is a list of BL with a main relationship and at least one "side" relationship

In my reviews I'll try 2 note if I believe the side couple is better, worse, or about as engaging as the main couple of the series.

This list won't include anthologies, even if the stories take place in the same universe.

there's like 3 side couples I think not counting the implied yuri side couple that wasn't canonized because I think the editors were like "Bbong CHILL it's enough fucking side couples!!!".
I have a soft spot for the first side couple and the last side couple that was introduced idk if this comic holds up i havent read it in a sec

Amazing main and side couples in my humble opinion. The side couple is the main couple and the main couple is the side couple. Idk it really subverts a lot of BL expectations and discussed grooming in a semi nuanced way I really liked it
