Characters that liked each other but didn't end up together

[ktsmovingcastle]

I was just thinking about several anime pairs who clearly care for each other but never quite make it official.

• Riza Hawkeye and Roy Mustang – duty to their country keeps them apart.
  
• Violet Evergarden and Gilbert - their love is tragic, with Gilbert choosing to stay away for Violet's sake.
  
• Mikasa and Eren also come to mind – their different paths keep them apart.
  
• Maka and Soul stay firmly in the friend zone, focusing on their growth and partnership.
  

These stories show that sometimes love isn't about being together, but about sacrifice and personal growth.
But I still ship them.
