Struggling with the "friend zone"
Pretty simple request. I'm looking for stories in which one person views another as a friend and wants to stay friends even though the "main" character wants something more. And I'm looking for something fairly tactful, not something that treats the one who wants to be friends as somehow in the wrong or anything, though they certainly could struggle with their feelings when/if the main confesses or find themselves feeling uneasy or awkward when they start to realize they too are falling in love. And preferably I'd like to focus on stories where the pair do end up together (I like stories like D N Angel where the main eventually notices someone else, but here that's not what I'm looking for). I'm mainly looking for manga and light novels, though anime is also fine of course.

Chihayafuru has this in spades.
I just watched the third Hibike! Euphonium movie last night where the relationship between childhood friends Kumiko and Shuuichi has some of this as well. Need to watch the beginning two seasons first though. Chihayafuru is adapted from a manga; Eupho comes from light novels.

You've literally described Yesterday wo Utatte.
Almost everyone who watched the series ended up bitterly disappointed, though. Your mileage may vary.  |
