* Yomiko Readman in ''Anime/{{Read or Die}}''. The quintessential bookworm. So nerdy. So cute. And so very, very scary.
* Hanataro from ''{{Bleach}}''.
** [[{{Moe}} Orihime]], Bleach's resident CloudCuckooLander, manages to be this from time to time.
** Rukia has had her moments: her love for cute things and bunnies-specifically chappy, not to mention her drawing skills (or lack there of), plus her "innocent (and dramatic) girly schoolgirl" act she puts on in front of Ichigo's family and classmates is [[{{Moe}} too adorable]].
** Uryu Ishida. Top of his class and is very serious about most things, this includes [[RealMenWearPink his love in sewing]], and outside of all of this he's kinda socially awkward.
* Osaka in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' pretty much has her own cult following, as does shy, introverted Sakaki. Also, Chiyo.
* Hirasawa Yui of ''KOn''. Or simply put, ''most'' of the cast.
* Similarly, also from KyotoAnimation, Hiiragi Tsukasa of ''Anime/LuckyStar''.
* Sweet, kind and cuddly ([[SuperPoweredEvilSide most of]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes the time]]) Himura Kenshin of ''RurouniKenshin''.
* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia''--
** Canada (he also overlaps with {{Moe}}) and America (hero obsessed).
** Hell, America even looks like [[AtlantisTheLostEmpire Milo Thatch]], the person on this page's image.
** To a lesser extent, Estonia and Lithuania can be considered this as well. Latvia, on the other hand, is just pure {{Moe}}.
** Italy himself.
** Also, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Norway and Iceland are more {{Moe}} than anything though.
** Japan, whose polite-to-a-fault demeanor covers up a socially awkward streak (especially when it comes to physical affection) and an {{Otaku}} love of 2D.
* Madarame from ''{{Genshiken}}'' is a perfect example of this trope. He is a HotBlooded {{Otaku}}, but at the same time is a bit uncomfortable around acts of physical affection.
* Young Tenma from ''{{Monster}}'', before his [[TookALevelInBadass badass upgrade]] made him stop being a {{woobie}} doormat.[[hottip:* :He's still TheWoobie, but he's [[IronWoobie the Iron variety]].]] The gangly, badly-dressed Grimmer looks quite adorkable as well. When he's not Hulking out.
* ''{{Trigun}}'': Vash fits this quite well, easily falling into being a Badass Adorkable during times of comedic calamity that tend to follow him.
* The title character of ''{{Naruto}}''. When he's not in {{Determinator}} mode he's socially awkward, and early on, most of his boasts came off more as cute/laughable than intimidating. Not to mention [[ShrinkingViolet Hinata]] and [[NiceGuy Rock Lee]].
* Tsuna from ''KatekyoHitmanReborn''. Also, Kozato Enma.
** Irie Shouichi. He's even got the glasses.
** Dino when his subordinates aren't around becomes really clumsy and dorky.
* Minoru of ''Manga/KarateShoukoushiKohinataMinoru''.
* This is about half the point of "[[ObfuscatingStupidity Li Sheng Shun]]" in ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''. He's so adorably inept, clumsy, kindhearted, and naive that you just want to hug him, and nobody would ever suspect he's secretly [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Black Reaper]], the most {{badass}} and {{stoic}} guy in a series full of emotionless killing machines.
* Tsutomu Senkawa from the 1996 OVA adaptation of ''{{Birdy the Mighty}}''. The English dub makes him sound even more dorky.
* Mikado from ''Literature/{{Durarara}}''. Also [[MadScientist Shinra]], [[CasanovaWannabe Kida]], and [[{{Otaku}} Erika and Walker]].
** When Vorona goes undercover as Shizuo's kohai to discover his weaknesses and eventually kill him, she discovers to her surprise that the [[TheRedBaron God of Destruction in a Bartender Suit]] is actually a rather dorky NiceGuy when he's not under the influence of his violent HairTriggerTemper. Cue the [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting]].
* From the same creator, Jacuzzi Splot from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'', a sweet, lovable little crybaby with [[FailOSuckyname the most ridiculous name in the world]]. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Hidden core of pure badass]] or not, he's very cute.
** Also from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'' we have Claire Stanfield when he is [[HeroicSociopath off]] [[BloodIsTheNewBlack the]] [[AGodAmI clock]], particularly when he's around [[spoiler: [[FirstGirlWins Chane Laforet]]]].
** And [[CloudCuckooLander Isaac and Miria]].
* [[ButtMonkey Yuki]][[AccidentalPervert nari]] of ''GirlsBravo''. Also, [[ShrinkingViolet Koyomi]].
* Many ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' fans found the WackyMarriageProposal of Ed, and Winry's response to it, to be pure adorkable. Ed words his proposal in alchemical terms, while Winry words her reply in percentages.
** It even won a [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2010-08-31/fullmetal-alchemist-quote-wins-marriage-proposal-contest marriage proposal contest]] but was disqualified for being cribbed.
** What about Kain Furey?
** Roy Mustang. He has a [[DarkAndTroubledPast superlatively depressing past]] that [[MyGreatestFailure he was intensely]] [[TheWoobie traumatized by]], so he [[ObfuscatingStupidity deliberately acts]] [[UrbanLegendLoveLife like a womanizing jerk]] as a part of his long-term plan [[TheAtoner to atone for his sins]]. In reality he's a complete softie and a loveable dork.
** Edward Elric himself can be seen as this, especially when dealing with anything related to Winry and romance and his adorable overreactions over his height and anger at being called "little" brother.
** Sheska, the CuteBookworm from Central Library.
** Not even a mention of Al, the giant suit of armor who loves kittens?
* For the most part, George, from ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', is pretty calm and collected in-series. However, just ask the fangirls about his ImageSong, "Ai no Sengen," and just about every single one of them will allude to this trope. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuftnW0Ayko For good reason.]]
* Gourry Gabriev from ''[[TheSlayers Slayers]]'' is often viewed this way by the fangirls. Sure, he's a [[GeniusDitz badass swordsman]], but his [[IdiotHero terrible memory]] (at least in the anime) and tendency to be really sweet and a genuinely nice guy make him totally {{Adorkable}}.
** Less so in the original novels; Gourry's actually got a bit of a dry, snarky sense of humor and he's more observant that Lina gives him credit for. Gourry's anime portrayal seems to be a {{Flanderization}} of how Lina perceives him; viz. as nonmagical as it's possible to get and therefore a complete moron.
* John Brown of ''Manga/GhostHunt'' has his moments. Bring him up to any of his fans and the word 'cute' will come up, usually because of his charmingly naive personality and/or amusing facial expressions.
* Wannabe-[[TheAce ace student]] Shiratori in ''YandereKanojo'' is actually seen as this in-universe. He thinks he's popular with girls because he's so cool. He's a {{bishonen}} who's [[TheAce great at athletics and academics]], so he's a natural ChickMagnet, right? In reality, it's because he gets really shy and flustered when girls flirt with him, which they find irresistible.
* ''Manga/BlackButler''--
** Arthur, the {{Moe}} NiceGuy, and Finnian, the [[{{Keet}} hyper]] crybaby.
** Grell in butler attire may have epitomized {{Adorkable}}, had [[{{Transsexual}} she]] not revealed her [[ChainsawGood true]] [[DepravedBisexual nature]] after one chapter, appearing in butler form for only a few pages.
** And for a female example, Maylene.
** Snake is described near-perfectly by this page. Shy? Check. Quirky? Check. Socially awkward? Check, check, check
* ''Manga/DeathNote''
** Matsuda.
** Despite L's obsession with justice and his gangly pale figure, he manages to do this by smiling.
** A lot of L's interaction with Naomi in the spin-off novel is this, especially the ending. He is clearly woefully inexperienced with the concept of "hugging".
** Also, Yamamoto. Light's school pal.
* ''YamiNoMatsuei'' gives us Tsuzuki, a happy-go-lucky, dorky {{shinigami}} with a sweet tooth.
* Shinji Ikari from ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', for those who don't hate him.
** There's also Yukiteru of ''MiraiNikki'' who is an {{Expy}} of Shinji.
* Son Gohan of ''DragonBallZ'', especially as a teenager. He's such a sweet, friendly, good-natured guy, yet also ''very'' studious, and he gets into many embarrassing social situations, and he has questionable taste in fashion and, er, superhero poses.
* Tsukimi from ''{{Kuragehime}}''
* ''DGrayMan''
** [[BadassBookworm Lavi]], [[MadScientist Komui]], [[NaiveNewcomer Krory]], and [[TheKlutz Miranda]] all qualify for this in their own ways.
** Allen sometimes qualifies as well, since his {{Moe}} NiceGuy traits have been known to reach dangerous levels.
** Johnny as well. He's incredibly clumsy, and kind-hearted.
* Daisuke from ''DNAngel''. Kosuke, Daisuke's dad as well. He's just as clumsy and kind-hearted as Daisuke. And Towa-chan, especially when she's around Dark.
* Ash Ketchum from the ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' anime, at least in the older seasons. He was rather klutzy and somewhat dim-witted, but also a ''really'' sweet kid with an enormous heart, and already a pint-sized {{Bishonen}} to begin with.
* Brief, the somewhat woobie-ish ButtMonkey KidSidekick of ''[[PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty And Stocking]]''.
* Tamaki in ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. Sure, he has the handsome bishie looks and is very adept at flirting with girls he doesn't much know, but around friends (not to mention his actual love interest) he becomes a lot more of a lovable idiot.
* Lain from ''SerialExperimentsLain''.
* Gau in ''NabariNoOu''.
* The titular ''SailorMoon''. Ami also fits this.
** And Gurio Umino.
** Minako Aino.
* ''{{Eyeshield 21}}'': Sena Kobayakawa and Patrick "Panther" Spencer.
* In a RareFemaleExample, [[spoiler: Akemi Homura]] of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. [[spoiler:In previous iterations of GroundhogDayLoop; she [[TookALevelInBadass Took Over 9000 Levels In Badass]] and now is TroubledButCute.]]
* Simon from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
** Nia, too. Girl has '''no''' social skills but is just so sweet it's endearing.
* Yuuki Ashikaga from ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''.
* Nobita from ''{{Doraemon}}''.
* Lampshaded in ''TigerAndBunny'' -- Agnes points out that [[TheAce Sky High]]'s dorkiness is part of the reason he's so damn popular, with his silly catchphrase ("Thank you! And again, thank you!") among other things.
** Not to mention Kotetsu. Karina falls for him because of it.
** And Ivan. There are a LOT of adorkable characters in this show.
* ''KaichouWaMaidSama'': Shintani Hinata.
* ''SpecialA'': Tadashi Karino.
* Kozue from ''SeikimatsuOccultGakuin''.
* Mamoru Hiyama from ''VampirePrincessMiyu''.
* Sergeant Keroro from ''KeroroGunsou''. In moments when he's genuinely excited about something, he expresses a child-like enthusiasm that is just too cute for words.
** Can't forget Fuyuki. Total occult nerd, and a walking GeekyTurnOn. Seriously, the guy gets [[ChickMagnet a lot of female attention]] for being such a geek.
* ''LightNovel/AsobiNiIkuYo'': Kio. Manami calls him an otaku but other girls point to her it's a part of his charm.
* Ryoushi Morino in ''OokamiSan''.
* Kohta Hirano in ''HighSchoolOfTheDead''.
* The titular chatacter of ''Manga/DetectiveConan''. In the beginning of the series the only clothes he's seen wearing are his miniature suit, complete with a bow tie. This combined with his cute ways of expressing his feelings and his ''SherlockHolmes'' obsession create top quality Adorkable material.
** He can also be classified as an out-and-out mystery geek, not just a Holmes geek.
*** His dad, Booker Kudo, is also an example of this, as he's a mystery writer who gets a bit too excited about mysteries. Also, his glasses rock.
* ''RosarioPlusVampire'': Tsukune Aono, especially in the beginning.
* Yamato Agari and Kiyose Matsumoto from ''KarakuridoujiUltimo''.
* Gilbert from ''PandoraHearts''. Psychologically, he's a wubbly mess and often behaves very childishly. The other characters (and the mangaka) enjoy picking on him mercilessly.
** Oz at times, and Leo as well [[spoiler: at least before he takes off his glasses and gets a haircut]].
* Nako from ''SteelAngelKurumi2''. She wears glasses, she's incredibly clumsy, and kind-hearted.
* Yuki and Mikuru from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''.
* Victorique and Kazuya from ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}''.
* Juvia and Erza (the latter at times) from ''Manga/FairyTail''.
* Shi Ryuuki from ''SaiunkokuMonogatari''.
* Shuichi Shindou, Ryuichi Sakuma and Mr. Sakano from ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}''.
* ''{{Hen}}'': Ryuichi Kobayashi definitely. With his huge ears and easily flustered nature, especially around women. He more than qualifies as this.
** Azumi Yamada is a total klutz and is a mousy cute little girl who gets easily flustered over things of a sexual nature.
* Ryoga Hibiki from ''RanmaOneHalf''. Also, Mousse and even Ranma when he lets go of the jerk part of his JerkWithAHeartOfGold nature.
* Shion, ever the lovable nerd from ''{{No6}}''.
* Kengo from ''MonochromeFactor''.
* [[ShrinkingViolet Shiori]] [[CuteBookworm Shiomiya]] from ''TheWorldGodOnlyKnows''.
** Keima himself (despite acting like an outright jerk); he's known as the [[{{Otaku}} ota]][[{{Megane}} mega]] after all...
* Nana from ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
* Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa from ''FullMetalPanic''.
** The normally calm and [[TheStoic Stoic]] Sousuke Sagara becomes a complete dork around women or when confronted with romance or anything sexual.
* ''{{Karin}}'': Karin Marker.
* Go Takarada from ''ElfPrincessRane''.
* Ginji from ''GetBackers''.
* Tohru Honda of ''FruitsBasket''.
** Also, Kyou Sohma tries to act all macho but in reality he's really a lovable dork, especially around Tohru his love interest. He's also the family [[ButtMonkey punching bag]].
* Mikoto from ''PrincessPrincess''.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' is full of these. Aside from [[AdorablyPrecociousChild the title character]], there's [[ShrinkingViolet Nodoka]], [[RobotGirl Chachamaru]], and especially Setsuna, whose cool demeanor flies out the window [[BodyguardCrush in the presence of her Ojou-sama.]]
* ''[[Manga/BlueExorcist Ao No Exorcist]]'': Shiemi Moriyama.
* Intentionally the case with the excited-about-everything, anime-obsessed, [[FriendToAllLivingThings Friend-To-All-Outcast-Nerds]] Nagaoka in ''OnaniMasterKurosawa.'' His adorkability causes not one but ''two'' girls to fall in love with him--[[spoiler: Magistel, who up until that point had been protagonist Kurosawa's LoveInterest, and Kitahara, who is unfortunately [[IfICantHaveYou not entirely sane.]]]]
* Pointed out in ''BunnyDrop,'' where Daikichi notes how unfair it is that "Michan" (a HotDad he knows) is also extremely clumsy. It was like he was scientifically designed to be as attractive as possible, and the clumsiness just makes him more adorable.
* Keiichi of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' especially during the "punishment games".
* ''DeadmanWonderland'': Toto Sakigami/ Rinichirou Hagire.
* ''ReimeiNoArcana'': Caesar, whenever he thinks about Nakaba or tries to make her happy.
* Takapii from ''Goldfish Warning''.
* ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'': Yuuri and Wolfram whenever Yuuri shows him affection.
* ''KimiNiTodoke'': Sawako "Sadako" Kuronuma.
* Wakaba and Anthy of ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena''.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': Schrodinger and Seras.
* Gon of ''HunterXHunter''.
* Suzaku (especially when he's [[AnimalsHateHim around cats]]), Lelouch (especially when he's around Shirley), Rolo (around his beloved brother Lelouch), and Shirley from ''Anime/CodeGeass''.
* ''AskDrRin'': Tokiwa [[spoiler: when he's not possessed]] is a very sweet, if a little doofy, ChickMagnet.
* Ryou Fujibayashi from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''.
* Nakameguro of ''SeitokaiNoIchizon''.
* Sora of ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}''.
* In ''HotGimmick'' we have beautiful, spineless, ShrinkingViolet Hatsumi and Hatsumi's sweet and unassuming friend Subaru.
* Yura of ''HoneyHunt''.
* Kairi of ''PeachGirl''. Also, even Momo and Sae can fall into this at times. And from the sequel we have Kanji (or Monkey Boy).
* Kahoko Hino and Keiichi Shimizu of ''KiniroNoCorda''.
* The titular ''NodameCantabile''.
* Rito of ''ToLoveRu''.
* Saito of ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima'' and Louise, especially when Saito shows her affection.
* ''{{Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun}}'': Mayu.
* ''GokujouDrops'': Komari.
* About four characters from ''SlamDunk'' are this.
* Kaito of ''AnoNatsuDeMatteru'': wears glasses, frequently dorks out with his old-fashioned camera, always nice but very awkward...we have a winner!
* The Literature Girl in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys''. A {{dojikko}} who tried to re-enact the novel she wrote and had a crush with they guy (Hidenori) who happened to sit on the ArtificialRiverbank? Check.
* [[NoSocialSkills Tomoko]] from ItsNotMyFaultImNotPopular. One of the [[ThisLoserIsYou reasons]] [[{{Imageboards}} /a/]] [[TheWoobie just wanna hug her]].
* ''MawaruPenguindrum'': Shouma Takakura.
* Taki and Keita of ''GakuenHeaven''.
* Keiichi and Belldandy of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''.
* Suzy from ''ZatchBell.''
* Laura of ''InfiniteStratos''. Post-meltdown. Her lack of social skills make almost any social interaction awkwardly cute.
* ''{{Berserk}}'' has Serpico.
* Itou ''{{Kaiji}}''.
* [[AmbiguousGender Chrona]] of ''SoulEater''.
* ''OkaneGaNai'': Yukiya Ayase.
* ''{{Bakemonogatari}}'': Koyomi.
* Izzy and Joe Kido from ''DigimonAdventure''.
** [[DigimonAdventure02 Davis/Daisuke]] is such a ditzy goofball who can be rather silly around his crush, one of the dorkiest things to behold, yet OH SO CUTE!
** [[{{Fanboy}} Takato]] [[SociallyAwkwardHero from]] ''DigimonTamers'' also qualifies.
* Yugi Mutou from ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}!'' (the actual one, not the SuperPoweredEvilSide) is the epitome of this trope. He's a slightly dopey, socially awkward kid whose deepest wish in the first chapter is just to ''have a few friends''. He gets them though, because people finally start seeing and appreciating his IncorruptiblePurePureness.
** [[TheShortGuyWithGlasses Syrus Truesdale]] from the [[OddlyNamedSequel spinoff series]] ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' qualifies too, given that he looks a lot like Yugi with [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]] and [[BlindWithoutEm little round glasses]]. It gets to the point where fans joke that Yugi is his father/[[MisterSeahorse mother]].
* Keitaro in ''LoveHina''. Sure he might be a huge AccidentalPervert, but his genuine desire to know the other tenants and his constant determination are endearing.
* Yomiko Readman in ''Anime/{{Read or Die}}''. The quintessential bookworm. So nerdy. So cute. And so very, very scary.
* Hanataro from ''{{Bleach}}''.
** [[{{Moe}} Orihime]], Bleach's resident CloudCuckooLander, manages to be this from time to time.

** Not to mention Kotetsu. Karina falls for him because of it.
** And Ivan. There are a LOT of adorkable characters in this show.
* ''KaichouWaMaidSama'': Shintani Hinata.
* ''SpecialA'': Tadashi Karino.
* Kozue from ''SeikimatsuOccultGakuin''.
* Mamoru Hiyama from ''VampirePrincessMiyu''.
* Sergeant Keroro from ''KeroroGunsou''. In moments when he's genuinely excited about something, he expresses a child-like enthusiasm that is just too cute for words.
** Can't forget Fuyuki. Total occult nerd, and a walking GeekyTurnOn. Seriously, the guy gets [[ChickMagnet a lot of female attention]] for being such a geek.
* ''LightNovel/AsobiNiIkuYo'': Kio. Manami calls him an otaku but other girls point to her it's a part of his charm.
* Ryoushi Morino in ''OokamiSan''.
* Kohta Hirano in ''HighSchoolOfTheDead''.
* The titular chatacter of ''Manga/DetectiveConan''. In the beginning of the series the only clothes he's seen wearing are his miniature suit, complete with a bow tie. This combined with his cute ways of expressing his feelings and his ''SherlockHolmes'' obsession create top quality Adorkable material.
** He can also be classified as an out-and-out mystery geek, not just a Holmes geek.
*** His dad, Booker Kudo, is also an example of this, as he's a mystery writer who gets a bit too excited about mysteries. Also, his glasses rock.
* ''RosarioPlusVampire'': Tsukune Aono, especially in the beginning.
* Yamato Agari and Kiyose Matsumoto from ''KarakuridoujiUltimo''.
* Gilbert from ''PandoraHearts''. Psychologically, he's a wubbly mess and often behaves very childishly. The other characters (and the mangaka) enjoy picking on him mercilessly.
** Oz at times, and Leo as well [[spoiler: at least before he takes off his glasses and gets a haircut]].
* Nako from ''SteelAngelKurumi2''. She wears glasses, she's incredibly clumsy, and kind-hearted.

* Juvia and Erza (the latter at times) from ''Manga/FairyTail''.
* Shi Ryuuki from ''SaiunkokuMonogatari''.
* Shuichi Shindou, Ryuichi Sakuma and Mr. Sakano from ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}''.
* ''{{Hen}}'': Ryuichi Kobayashi definitely. With his huge ears and easily flustered nature, especially around women. He more than qualifies as this.
** Azumi Yamada is a total klutz and is a mousy cute little girl who gets easily flustered over things of a sexual nature.
* Ryoga Hibiki from ''RanmaOneHalf''. Also, Mousse and even Ranma when he lets go of the jerk part of his JerkWithAHeartOfGold nature.
* Shion, ever the lovable nerd from ''{{No6}}''.
* Kengo from ''MonochromeFactor''.
* [[ShrinkingViolet Shiori]] [[CuteBookworm Shiomiya]] from ''TheWorldGodOnlyKnows''.
** Keima himself (despite acting like an outright jerk); he's known as the [[{{Otaku}} ota]][[{{Megane}} mega]] after all...
* Nana from ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
* Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa from ''FullMetalPanic''.
** The normally calm and [[TheStoic Stoic]] Sousuke Sagara becomes a complete dork around women or when confronted with romance or anything sexual.

* Go Takarada from ''ElfPrincessRane''.
* Ginji from ''GetBackers''.
* Tohru Honda of ''FruitsBasket''.
** Also, Kyou Sohma tries to act all macho but in reality he's really a lovable dork, especially around Tohru his love interest. He's also the family [[ButtMonkey punching bag]].
* Mikoto from ''PrincessPrincess''.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' is full of these. Aside from [[AdorablyPrecociousChild the title character]], there's [[ShrinkingViolet Nodoka]], [[RobotGirl Chachamaru]], and especially Setsuna, whose cool demeanor flies out the window [[BodyguardCrush in the presence of her Ojou-sama.]]
* ''[[Manga/BlueExorcist Ao No Exorcist]]'': Shiemi Moriyama.
* Intentionally the case with the excited-about-everything, anime-obsessed, [[FriendToAllLivingThings Friend-To-All-Outcast-Nerds]] Nagaoka in ''OnaniMasterKurosawa.'' His adorkability causes not one but ''two'' girls to fall in love with him--[[spoiler: Magistel, who up until that point had been protagonist Kurosawa's LoveInterest, and Kitahara, who is unfortunately [[IfICantHaveYou not entirely sane.]]]]
* Pointed out in ''BunnyDrop,'' where Daikichi notes how unfair it is that "Michan" (a HotDad he knows) is also extremely clumsy. It was like he was scientifically designed to be as attractive as possible, and the clumsiness just makes him more adorable.
* Keiichi of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' especially during the "punishment games".
* ''DeadmanWonderland'': Toto Sakigami/ Rinichirou Hagire.
* ''ReimeiNoArcana'': Caesar, whenever he thinks about Nakaba or tries to make her happy.

* ''AskDrRin'': Tokiwa [[spoiler: when he's not possessed]] is a very sweet, if a little doofy, ChickMagnet.
* Ryou Fujibayashi from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''.
* Nakameguro of ''SeitokaiNoIchizon''.
* Sora of ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}''.
* In ''HotGimmick'' we have beautiful, spineless, ShrinkingViolet Hatsumi and Hatsumi's sweet and unassuming friend Subaru.
* Yura of ''HoneyHunt''.
* Kairi of ''PeachGirl''. Also, even Momo and Sae can fall into this at times. And from the sequel we have Kanji (or Monkey Boy).
* Kahoko Hino and Keiichi Shimizu of ''KiniroNoCorda''.
* The titular ''NodameCantabile''.
* Rito of ''ToLoveRu''.
* Saito of ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima'' and Louise, especially when Saito shows her affection.
* ''{{Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun}}'': Mayu.
* ''GokujouDrops'': Komari.
* About four characters from ''SlamDunk'' are this.
* Kaito of ''AnoNatsuDeMatteru'': wears glasses, frequently dorks out with his old-fashioned camera, always nice but very awkward...we have a winner!
* The Literature Girl in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys''. A {{dojikko}} who tried to re-enact the novel she wrote and had a crush with they guy (Hidenori) who happened to sit on the ArtificialRiverbank? Check.
* [[NoSocialSkills Tomoko]] from ItsNotMyFaultImNotPopular. One of the [[ThisLoserIsYou reasons]] [[{{Imageboards}} /a/]] [[TheWoobie just wanna hug her]].
* ''MawaruPenguindrum'': Shouma Takakura.
* Taki and Keita of ''GakuenHeaven''.
* Keiichi and Belldandy of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''.

* ''OkaneGaNai'': Yukiya Ayase.
* ''{{Bakemonogatari}}'': Koyomi.
