Anime Question

"Bros before hoes" & "friends before family" moments in anime or manga.

This is oddly enough inspired by my exasperation with the 3ed Back to the Future movie. It just really irks me that Doc Brown chose love at first sight with an unknown woman over a lifetime of adventures with his best friend. It's pretty irritating how Hollywood & even anime put more stock in the power of love than the bonds of friendship.

So in any anime you've seen or manga you've read, has a character ever dumped a love interest because it would interfere with their friendship? (I have no examples for this one)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Friends before family: Someone chooses adventuring with a friend over living with a parent.

Examples:
*Ginji from GetBackers chooses Ban over his estranged mother. I can't give away any details without giving away the end of the manga.
*Early in the series, Killua from Hunter x Hunter rejects his family's plans for his future to go on adventures with Gon.
*
Or is it "bros before hos?"

Hmmm not really. In most of the animes I watch they "don't have parents" and it might not be that they died, they just don't appear in the show. Except Yui's parents appeared in the movie! O_O

Lol anyways, hmmm how about Kannazuki no Miko? Himiko didn't really "dump" Souma but she was very concerned about Chikane more than she was about Souma and his soul was pretty much being eaten x_x

Edit: I just realized how confusing that sounded considering the story of Kannazuki no Miko. I was referring to before Himiko realized she loved Chikane and considered her just a very close friend and she thought she loved Souma.
