added a spoiler for toradora stating the specific case in which it applied to this post, but im not seeing th button to show the spoiler, if you post here, let me know if your getting the same issue
If I remember correct, something like that happens in these manga:
1) Ghost Hunt
2) Tsuki no Shippo
3) Inuyasha
4) Fruits Basket
5) Hapi Mari: Happy Marriage?!
It also happens in the American novel The Hunger Games, in case you haven't read that.
