And no, it's not that they never win.
The beauty of a childhood friend romance plot is watching a boy and a girl who once enjoyed a completely platonic friendship grow and start to see each other as a man and a woman. Their romantic feelings come slowly and simultaneously, naturally coinciding with the onset of puberty.
Most anime and manga ruin this in one of two ways. Most commonly they make at least one of the pair have a crush on the other since they were foetuses. That is not a friendship. Small children do not fall in love. They sometimes mimic adult behaviour, but they do not feel adult emotions.
The second way to ruin a childhood friend romance is more unusual and much more infuriating. The pair become teenagers, the boy grapples with new questions about sex and girls and love. The girl? Oh, the girl still has the mental maturity of a toddler. Who this is pandering to, I do not know. Are there lolifags out there who want the mind of a little girl but not the body?
So remember that the next time you moan about the childhood friend not winning, chances are it was shit anyway.

Anon, the ideal woman in concept for most of human existence has been pretty much this. The idea that a woman can be a conversation partner and your wife is a new age idea.

No, fuck off retard. The ideal is 2D and everyone has their own.
>>
>>148326166
Not that anon, but the 2D ideal is a more modern concept.
The "for most of human existence" qualifier in his post makes his statement maybe true.

Well. 50 Shades of Grey exists. So...

But I had a childhood friend who used to say he was my boyfriend

Why doesn't someone just make an anime/manga where it purely focuses on two childhood friends getting together? Too vanilla?

And then there is shit where their childhood friendship is ruined by some other woman.
Fuck that.

>>148330632
Because your childhood friend can be that imouto or onee san you always wanted
>>
>>148330632
I could make a post about how incest stories are shit if the pair don't have a normal sibling relationship prior to the romantic development if you like?
>>
>>148330773
But I have an imouto
>>
>>148330791
Kirino and Kyousuke had a normal sibling relationship before Manami came and did her thing
>>
>>148330632
KIRINO AR UNIVERSUMS FELSTAG
>>
>>148330801
Well,do you love her tenderly?
>>
>>148328212
>btw im a girl
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>148330632
Childhood friends are literally imoutos / oneechans except legal.

>Small children do not fall in love.
I had my first crush when I was 7, and I'm pretty sure I didn't mimic anyone.
>>
>>148330749But if that other woman actually was a childhood friend even before the usual childhoodfriend, or rather "ojosonami" -or however that's spelled right in western writing- ?
>>
>>148331022
I headpat her and let her sit in my lap
>>
>>148331194
Having a crush isn't falling in love, silly
>>
>>148331066
Dumb frogposter.
>>
>>148330853
They more or less ignored each other's existence. Some siblings don't get along, sure, but Kirino and Kyousuke were essentially strangers. What's the point in an incest story if there's no sibling bond to corrupt? It's much more important than being blood related.
>>
>>148331530
I meant they were normal siblings before Manami did all that "it's disgusting to love your brother" shit when Kirino was a loli
>>
>>148325857
Unless the childhood friend is a tsundere there is no real chance.
>>
>>148331830
>tsundere osananajimi that still loses
Why is the world so cruel?
>>
>>148331830
What if the tsundere childhood friend is also a tomboy?
>>
Can she actually win?
