Second Male Lead Syndrome... but they actually win.

it’s a list where the MC ends up with the unexpected—the underdog...
I decided to create a list worshipping second MLs on a whim;
we’ll see how it goes...

 OBVIOUS SPOILERS 
CHECK THIS LIST AT YOUR OWN RISK

Honestly I feel like I’m not qualified enough to be able to make this list since there’s soo much out there that I haven’t read. 
But I have yet to see a tag or list for this, so I decided to just go for it. 

***I’ll be grateful for any recommendations :)

this isn’t an actual entry, just thought it was funny.

So if the second lead becomes the main lead... then doesn’t that make the previous main lead the second lead now ???
And now that the second lead is considered the main lead... would it only be a 2nd ML win if the original ML wins now? I’m so confused now;;

This one doesn’t count in this list... but it’s just a funny concept w/ it’s second ML-ception

i just pray that it won’t be an angsty love triangle :(

I think ever since mamura happened, I’ve started constantly rooting for the second male lead friend who’s all blushy...

Walnut is the epitome of that.

Honestly, it’s been a while so I don’t remember anything at all and I cant give a review based solely on plot...
but i read this solely for wally, and wally only. Since this is a list for 2nd male leads, I’ll never forget the fact that he ends up happy

Was going to make this a shoujo/shounen-only list, but BL second ML wins are also rare and that makes me so sad.

Damn this one always hurts. I love Jun, I really really do, but it’s so realistic and harsh here.
I reread it all and I’m feeling hurt again.
But it’s this exact realism and pain that makes me love it so much.

The title alone always brings back the memories of when I first read it and it’s bitter-sweetness

What can a LIST do?
