* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': The main sufferer of this condition is [[PluckyGirl Ochako Uraraka]], whose {{Blush Sticker}}s will spread to the point of her entire face going red when she gets too close to (or teased about) her crush, [[TheHero Izuku Midoriya]]. Incidentally, Izuku suffers the same when Ochako is too close to him.



* ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'': In episode 12, Griamore (a hulking Holy Knight) accidentally runs into a completely nude Elizabeth. He gets so embarassed, ''his full-face helmet'' blushes.

** After not studying for his exams due to overconfidence and as a result dropping substantially, Karma is called on it by Koro-Sensei, causing him to break into one of these, and a pretty substantial one at that. The whole thing looks ridiculous as his entire face turns red, nearly same colour as his hair, so his whole head is bright red and this is one of only two times he blushes.
** Nagisa also does this. A notable example is when he is dressed up as a girl in a club and is obviously uncomfortable. Another good example is directly after, when it turns out he dressed up for nothing and everyone took photos.

In ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'' also was usual seeing Kouji or Sayaka -- or some another character -- blushing furiously.

When Belldandy and Urd turn him back, they forget that his clothes didn't change with him, leaving him naked. Urd has an amused look on her face, while Belldandy's entire face turns a deep pink.
* Everyone in ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'', given that they are varying degrees of [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] in romantic situation. Particularly funny with [[TokenMiniMoe Chika]], since it has to show through her deep tan.
* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'':
** After not studying for his exams due to overconfidence and as a result dropping substantially, Karma is called on it by Koro-Sensei, causing him to break into one of these, and a pretty substantial one at that. The whole thing looks ridiculous as his entire face turns red, nearly same colour as his hair, so his whole head is bright red and this is one of only two times he blushes.
** Nagisa also does this. A notable example is when he is dressed up as a girl in a club and is obviously uncomfortable. Another good example is directly after, when it turns out he dressed up for nothing and everyone took photos.
** Kayano does this after Nagisa kisses her to snap her out of a rage.
** Korosensei himself does this whenever he is smitten with something. His face turns bright pink when he does it.
** Professor Bitch usually does it to seduce someone, but sometimes blushes genuinely when faced with Karasuma.
* In the first chapter / episode of ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', when Mira goes on with the story between her and a boy called Ao many years ago, the blue-haired girl sitting next to Mira at the Earth Sciences clubroom starts blushing heavily. It is because of this trope the senpais Mari and Mikage suspect that other girl's involvement in Mira's story...
-->'''Mikage:''' Wanna tell us why you're blushing, Ao Manaka?
-->'''Mira:''' [[BigWhat EHHH!?]] You're [[UnsettlingGenderReveal him... or her?]]
* In the anime version of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', [[spoiler:Annie Leonhardt]] [[NotSoStoic has this expression]] while [[LaughingMad laughing]] and [[SlasherSmile grinning like mad]] [[spoiler:when she is rightly accused of being the Female Titan.]] This series managed to make even ''this'' trope [[PlayedForHorror creepy]].
* The [[TheQuietOne emotionally repressed Sakaki]] on ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' is quite prone to this, especially [[{{Moe}} when presented with]] [[CuteKitten something cute]].
* Most of the Yacht Club girls in ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'' when confronted with sweets, especially if it's Chiaki (normally TheStoic) facing a [[RunningGag chocolate parfait]].
* This trope is used to show [[DefrostingIceQueen a breakthrough in Casca's cold and aloof personality]] in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. After her excursion with Guts, where they were stranded in the woods after a battle and he ends up saving her life twice, Casca begins to open up to reveal that [[SugarAndIcePersonality she really isn't that mean of a girl.]] The first major iceberg was broken when Guts playfully slapped her on the butt in front of all of their comrades, causing Casca's face to go red with embarrassment. From there, she starts blushing around Guts a lot more [[LoveEpiphany for other reasons...]]
** In the movie, when Griffith meets Charlotte for SexForSolace and starts it off with a ForcefulKiss, the virginal and pure princess is so surprised and aroused that she sports one of these on her face.
* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'':
** Revy does this after she realizes Rock was watching her show some kids how to aim with their popguns. [[{{Tsundere}} She immediately resorts]] to FreudianThreat if he ever tells anyone about it.
** Roberta (an even more badass ActionGirl on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge) does this when given a CooldownHug by her MoralityChain Garcia Lovelace.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** Ichigo goes BRIGHT red when he first sees [[NakedOnArrival Yoruichi's nude human form]].
** Anime episode 262. When Haineko (Rangiku's zanpakuto spirit) meets a cute swordbeast named Narunosuke she blushes this way repeatedly.
* Li Syaoran of ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'', who gives the title character a run for her money with the amount of screen time he spends as a human tomato. Syaoran's blushing potential can create shades surpassing tomatoes and even beetroots. ''Especially'' his blush when Sakura hugged him for the first time in the anime - he never managed to pull anything quite like ''that'' again.
* Misaka in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' is prone to doing this when around Touma or when others point out or inquire about her feelings for him. Sometimes a combination of this, her tsundereism and Touma's density leads to really funny scenarios.
** In fact, seeing Misaka's reaction to Touma being mentioned is Kuroko's BerserkButton.
** At one point in the second season, the Misaka clones are having a minor argument over #19090 deviating from the others by reading a women's magazine. When Touma innocently makes #10032 (aka Misaka Imouto) remember one of the tips in the magazine she heard from the others[[note]]the tip says that wearing a ring a man buys you on your left ring finger means you're on the winner side; Touma mentioned that #10032 should make herself visually different from the others to be more recognizable by using an accessory, "like a necklace or a '''ring'''"[[/note]], she instantly blushes.
* Otome from ''Manga/CherryJuice'' sported one of these that covered her entire face when she awoke to find that she had fallen out of bed at some point during the night, and had spent the remainder of the time sleeping on top of her half-naked step-brother Minami. Thereafter nearly every interaction between the two involved this to some degree.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'':
** A few characters blush that way in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''. Nagisa gets it most often out of all the characters.
** Pretty much everyone does this at least once; even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G74w6B15cOM&t=1m15s Sunohara.]] [[{{Tsundere}} Kyou]] manages a near-instantaneous full-face glowy blush in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbPaekU2Bh0&t=1m11s this scene.]]
* [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Yuki]] from ''Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund'' gets these quite often, whether it is [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend confessing her feelings to her classmate]] or finding the director of her school reading her [[YaoiFangirl Boys Love work-in-progress]]. Of course neither said classmate (Akira) nor said director (Mina) are immune themselves.
* Himeko of ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'', a lot. Although given that she's an innocent {{Moe}} ShrinkingViolet in a SchoolgirlLesbians anime, this should surprise no-one.
* Appears as early as chapter one of ''Manga/DontBecomeAnOtakuShinozakiSan'', where it was Akina's reaction hearing from the school nurse that Kaede came to the nurse's office with teary eyes, really worried about Akina's condition after she fainted from a lack of sleep. Akina blushed knowing Kaede cared a lot about her, cementing her resolve to get deeper into the otaku pit to get close to her.
* Done with ''Vegeta'' of all people in ''Anime/DragonBallGT'': after shaving off his mustache [[DaddysGirl at his daughter's insistence,]] he goes ComplimentFishing about his appearance to Bulma, Goten, and Chi-Chi, who all [[DidYouGetANewHaircut pretend to not see anything different about him,]] until he loses his temper and screams at them before storming out of the room, blush-zone glowing from a combination of genuine offense that they didn't notice and embarrassment at himself for getting into such a ridiculous situation. Extra hilarious because this is the same guy who, some 25-odd years earlier, [[CharacterDevelopment tried to destroy the planet and kill these characters' families and would never have given the tiniest damn what a lowly human thought of him.]]
* Monta is pretty much the only character who does this in ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' (and that's [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters saying something]]), in response to any and all [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn innocent platonic affection]] from Mamori. And the poor kid tries so hard to be macho...
* Happens in ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'' to [[spoiler: [[WackyMarriageProposal Edward when he proposes]] to Winry]].
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'':
** Sōsuke from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' does this a few times -- most notably during ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu''. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sousuke_blush.jpg He does it once]] when he's defending Kaname against some pathetic Yakuza, and she threatens them that she'll call Bonta-kun over to beat them up until they cry. Of course, Sōsuke feels very embarrassed because... well, ''he's'' Bonta-kun, and he thinks she doesn't know. Another time is when Kaname dresses like a [[ChristmasCake hot, older housewife]], and pretends that she's having an affair with him. He doesn't recognize her, and [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sousuke_blush2.jpg feels extremely shy and embarrassed]], turning [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sousuke_blush3.jpg bright red]].
** In the first few episodes of ''FMP'' it's used to show that Kaname is lying when she claims she doesn't find NewTransferStudent Sōsuke attractive. That and the occasional LaughingMad scene.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'':
** Yuno is often like this whenever she talks to Yuki. Considering she's a walking {{Stalker with a Crush}}-{{Yandere}} combo, it comes off just a ''tad'' creepy. Not just that, but she also gets the blush when '''killing''' for her Yuki. Talk about creepy.
** Yuki himself tends to have this reaction to Yuno whenever she goes PantsFree or [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl casually changes clothes in front of him]].
** Minene does this in the flashback in Episode 10 when Nishijima tells her that she looks cute. Cue her trying to "wipe" the redness off her face. [[spoiler:She does this again, in a much later episode, when Nishijima proposes to her.]]
* ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'':
** Ohno, the subverted AloofDarkHairedGirl of ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'' appears to have a constant blush in both the {{Manga}} and {{Anime}} versions. It remains even during most of her {{Cosplay}}ing sessions, but her embarrassment seems to feed her confidence. Ogiue on the other hand hates the fellow club {{Otaku}}s, in typical Type A {{Tsundere}} behaviour, but blushes profusely when [[YaoiFangirl thinking of her beloved yaoi]]. Ogiue's normally implacable and stoic facade makes this quite significant of her internal conflicts over her {{Otaku}} nature, rather than some attempt at a throwaway {{Moe}} visual gag.
** Ohno also had this when [[YaoiFangirl her yaoi hobby was found out]], but she was more concerned of what their impression would be in regards to the type of men she was attracted to (bald men), rather than the yaoi itself.
* Leopard in ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughSpace'' manages to pull one of these off despite being a large computer.
* While it is commonplace in ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'', Episode 23 took the cake by applying this trope ''on a Mobile Suit'', having Ricardo Fellini's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam]] blush when grappled from behind by his girlfriend Kirara's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gerbera Tetra]]. After the episode aired, animation director Masami Obari [[LampshadeHanging tweeted]] that "[[NeverLiveItDown now I have to live with having added blush marks to a Mobile Suit for the rest of my life...]]"
* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'': Brainwashed and emotionally restrained Henrietta does this a lot (it's even shown in the TitleSequence) when interacting with her "handler", Giuseppe, due to her PrecociousCrush. Even uptight cyborgs like Triela and Claes blush if their handler makes physical contact with them. Petrushka/Petra is a second generation cyborg and thus subject to lesser amounts of brainwashing, but her FieryRedhead persona means she does this a lot too.
* Misaki from ''Manga/HanaNoMizoShiru'' blushes really, really, '''really''' frequently.
* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam La Verite'' episode 2. During Taro's dream, Taro and Mariel both blush to demonstrate their attraction to each other.
* In ''Manga/HanjukuJoshi'', Yae is very prone to this, since she's a relatively straight-laced NaiveNewcomer at a [[OneGenderSchool girls' school]] whose students have [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl somewhat relaxed standards of modesty.]]
* ''Manga/HappyHappyClover'': Mallow is seen doing this twice in the series. The first is when she introduces herself to class as a new student in the first story and again in "Mallow's Heart Sours" in Volume 5 after learning [[spoiler: that Shallot likes her.]]
* [[{{Moe}} Mikuru Asahina]] from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' pulls this off several times in the series. The most dramatic example occurs in [[TheMovie The Dissapearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya]] when [[OnlySaneMan Kyon]] offers proof of his being from an [[AlternateUniverse Alternate Universe]] by telling her how she has a star shaped mole on her left breast.
* Akane in ''[[VideoGame/HarukanaruTokiNoNakaDe Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou]]'' does this occasionally, often in response to Tomomasa's teasing. A few of [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys the boys]] are quite capable of out-blushing her, though -- particularly Tenma, and ''especially'' Eisen.
* Haruka in ''LightNovel/HarukaNogizakasSecret''. She's more prone to this than most characters, spending a good half of each episode red in the face.
* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'':
** Nagi gets these, particularly when she thinks she's been given a chance to be alone with Hayate and especially strong when she thinks it's a chance to give him a kiss.
** The other characters have all gotten chances at having them as well.
** Hayate in particular gets an absolutely epic one in the manga at least when [[spoiler: Maria (in 'disguise') and Hayate are riding the clock tower elevator and Maria teases him by asking if he is in love with the StudentCouncilPresident (i.e. Hinagiku). Hayate's reaction consists of literally this, much stammering, apparently trying to deny it by listing all of Hinagiku's good qualities and finally being unable to speak coherently.]]
* [[{{Tsundere}} Integra]] ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' [[BelligerentSexualTension towards Alucard]] when he's being an ''idiot''.
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
** Many characters have this permanently. In fact, the blush is often overlaid with a bright pink one when especially embarrassed or sick - see [[{{Tsundere}} Britain]] with a cold, or [[PerpetualFrowner Germany]] whenever [[TheDitz Italy]] [[HoYay is in]] [[ShipTease the room.]]
* Though everyone blushes at one time or another in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', Rena and Keiichi tend to (manga only) blush a lot, both in standard form and due to stress/fear,
* Hiroki of ''Manga/IThinkOurSonIsGay'' often gets flushed when the issue of sexuality is raised, regardless of context. He's supposed to be ClosetGay, but the blushing-induced NoPokerFace means [[TransparentCloset most of his family know his sexuality]], but would [[SecretSecretKeeper rather wait for him to come out]].
* ''Anime/TheIdolMaster'' - Played for laughs. Chihaya blushes when Miki enters the bath with her and Haruka on the Live For You OVA, though it isn't as much an embarassed blush and [[ACupAngst more]] [[GreenEyedMonster an envious]] [[BuxomIsBetter one.]]
* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango, all blush quite often, especially the latter since she constantly has to deal with the shameless flirting and wandering hands of her LoveInterest [[ChivalrousPervert Miroku]].
* In ''Anime/JoseeTheTigerAndTheFish'', Josee the classical tsundere main heroine does this a lot, particularly when Kana asks if Tsuneo is her boyfriend.
* This trope gets used heavily in ''Manga/JunjouRomantica''. Misaki and Hiroki usually get the worst of it.
* Shiro in ''Anime/{{K}}'' does this ''all'' the time. Examples include when [[HoYay Kuroh half-hugs him as he's rescuing him from HOMRA,]] and when he first meets [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn Neko.]] Kuroh gets the blush too, whenever he talks about his late Master Ichigen.
* Yurie from ''Anime/{{Kamichu}}'' does this a lot, especially when it has to do with Kenji. Her younger brother Shoukichi also tends to do this around Miko.
* The titular character of ''Manga/{{Karin}}'', who is [[TropeCodifier Luminiscent Blush incarnate]], deserves special mention. She's so [[{{Moe}} easily embarrassed]], that it's hard to catch her while ''not'' blushing. Other characters of the series even comment on it. [[FridgeBrilliance Of course, it could just be all the blood she has]].
* Ryuko Matoi from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' does this whenever she's wearing her [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman superpowered]] SailorFuku Senketsu. Understandable, considering how downright {{Stripperiffic}} it is.
* ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad'': Episode 2. [[IdiotHero Kyosuke]] [[OfficialCouple and]] [[{{Tsundere}} Madoka]] are washing dishes together when their hands accidentally brush together. Quickly they broke contact and kept on washing dishes, lowering their heads and avoiding eye contact. Their faces were completely red as they did so.
* Yui from ''Manga/KOn'' does this a lot, but especially notable is the one she shows when Mio attempts to call her by her given name.
* Kanna Aoyagi, the protagonist of ''Manga/KoeDeOshigoto'' has her blushing face more often than not. Anyone who steps in the recording booth gets one pretty quickly as well. This is only natural, considering they are recording dialog for H-games.
* ''Manga/LuckyStar'':
** The above picture is of ''Manga/LuckyStar'''s resident {{Tsundere}} Kagami, who often plays this trope straight. At one point, she went beyond that to display a ''full body blush'' after "accidentally" opening a [[{{Yaoi}} suspicious]] [[{{Doujinshi}} manga]] at Comiket. Of her [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic favorite series]].
** Kanata blushed as Sou reminisced of their time together. That's right, ghosts can blush too.
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
** Fate, socially uncomfortable former DarkMagicalGirl that she is, gets these often.
** Yuuno also gets this one; he's a boy, but he poses as a WeaselMascot.
** Nanoha doing this to Chrono was nearly a RunningGag towards the end of the first series (sadly, only during the first series). What can we say, she's ''adorable'' when she smiles!
** Einhart also gets these from time to time, such as when Nove takes her by surprise in the police station waiting room.
* ''Mazinger'' universe:
** In ''Anime/MazingerZ'' and its sequels -''Anime/GreatMazinger'' and ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' this trope was much more prevalent in the manga than in the anime (where the male heroes usually were {{Chaste Hero}}s). In the manga episodes, pretty much all teen characters (including Kouji Kabuto himself) blushed brightly at one point or another, either because his/her LoveInterest was praising them/flirting with them or because someone had suggested they were one couple. In ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'' also was usual seeing Kouji or Sayaka -- or some another character -- blushing furiously.
** Original manga's episode 8 was a good example. Kouji and Sayaka [[AccidentalPervert accidentally saw at each other naked]] [[HotSpringsEpisode in the hot springs]]. Their faces were fully red afterwards.
* This occurs constantly in ''Manga/MeAndMyBrothers'' to many of the characters showing deeper emotion, when they are not sporting their more lighthearted [[BlushSticker Blush Stickers]], which are used even more so. This is most effective to the reader when it is happening to Miyashita Sakura and her oldest stepbrother [[WholesomeCrossdresser Masashi]], [[spoiler:who later [[BrotherSisterIncest harbour romantic feelings for each other]]]].
* ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' has its cases of these. [[TheHero Lucia]] sometimes gets her entire face red, usually when thinking of Kaito.
* The English title of ''Manga/MissMachiko'' is ''The Shame of Miss Machiko'' (Machiko Teacher). Every episode involves the main character (or her female students) being placed in embarassing situations, which involves lots of blushing.
* The otherwise VERY [[WarIsHell serious]] second season of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' has Allelujah blushing twice:
** First when [[spoiler:he's rescued from prison]] and meets up with Lockon[[spoiler:'s twin brother]] who the others failed to tell him about; Allelujah is [[KilledOffForReal understandably]] VERY surprised at Lockon's presence, then he looks from Lockon to the nonplussed Tieria and back...and then he blushes and apologizes for his outburst. [[NotSoStoic Tieria]]'s smiling response is that he hasn't changed but shouldn't.
** Second when [[spoiler:Mileina]] asks whether Allelujah and [[spoiler:Marie]] are a couple; both respond with simultaneous blushes.
* ''Manga/MonochromeFactor'': [[HoYay Haruka blushed upon looking at Akira]] in the first episode.
* Standard reaction of women when they see The Medicine Peddler in ''Anime/{{Mononoke}}''.
* In ''Manga/MotherKeeper'', Ricalna gets this in the first chapter when his adoptive dad, Graham, pats his head and tells him he's a son he's extremely proud of.
* Happens so often to the characters from ''Manga/MyBalls'' that you start to wonder if there's a fever going around.
* ''Anime/MyHime'':
** [[{{Tsundere}} Akira]] gets one while trying to convince Takumi that he didn't see her save him from an Orphan, and that she is actually a "secret ninja of the school". Her face not only turns completely red, but ''also'' has {{Blush Sticker}}s on it.
** Happens to other characters as well, especially Mai and Natsuki.
* In ''Anime/MyOtome'', Arika does a full body blush when kissed on the hand by a Prince.
* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'':
** Hinata whenever she so much as looks at Naruto, primarily in Part I.
** Sakura also sported a bright blush several times. Examples include when Naruto faced Zabuza for the first time, or when she met Naruto after the TimeSkip and he seemed more mature...[[IdiotBall until he proved that he wasn't]]. Then [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale she proceeded to punch the crap out of him]]. Most of the blushes from Sakura were [[SingleTargetSexuality directed towards Sasuke]], though also primarily in Part I before his FaceHeelTurn.
** In ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' both Boruto and Sarada have gotten this [[ShipTease in relation to each other]].
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
** Negi just has that effect on people. [[ChickMagnet Especially girls]]. Asuna, Setsuna, Nodoka and Yue in particular warrant mention.
** As does [[spoiler:the fake Asuna (Shiori)]], who blushes a hell of a lot more and a lot deeper than [[spoiler:the ''real'' one]] ever did. And that's saying something. [[spoiler:When she's unmasked at the end of Ch. 283, her face combines this trope, CryCute, and a mixture of attraction to and fear of Negi to make her [[{{Moe}} irresistably adorable]].]]
** Chachamaru spends her ''whole'' Pactio chapter in this state. The ''reasons'' for it range from shyness, to [[TheWoobie fear and sadness]], to what can only be called post-orgasmic haze. Even better, she's a RobotGirl.
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
** Shinji and Asuka are prone to these almost whenever they interact. Probably because Shinji is a shy boy and Asuka is a {{Tsundere}}.
*** In one episode, Asuka starts scolding Shinji during school time for forgetting their lunches, while he tries to get his side in. Toji tosses off a remark that they're arguing LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. Cue [[http://i.imgur.com/lhV8mJX.jpg double luminescent blush]] (they HAD kissed not many days earlier), [[http://i.imgur.com/D8UMdeN.jpg then simultaneous denial]] in perfect stereo.
*** In episode eight Asuka blushed when she realized Shinji was taking a peek at her while she was changing clothes.
*** In episode 9 Shinji noticed Asuka was sleeping by his side. He stared at her face for a while, blushing profusely as he did so.
*** Shinji gets another (and [[SomethingElseAlsoRises something else]]) when he overhears [[GirlOnGirlIsHot questionable behaviour between Misato and Asuka]] in the female area of the hot springs.
---->'''Shinji:''' ''(whilst cringing and submerging his blushing face in the water)'' [[UnusualEuphemism Thermal expansion!]] How embarrassing!!
*** Asuka flirts with Shinji by a swimming pool at one point by showing off her new bikini and "teaching" him about [[MemeticMutation thermal expansion]] by patting and caressing her breasts in her bikini top, making him blush as red as anything and [[ChivalrousPervert demanding that she changes the subject]].
*** After the battle against Leliel Asuka visited Shinji in the hospital. She did not want him realizing she had come, but he spotted her anyway. Hurriedly she retreated, blushing as Shinji laughed.
** In one of the ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Rebuild]]'' movies, Misato snaps at her ex Kaji that she is too busy to do anything, especially rekindling their romance. Kaji states that she would probably never find a new lover like him, to which she angrily questions why he should even care. He responds by [[HandsomeLech flashing a patented lady-killer smile straight at her]]. Cue Misato's momentary speechlessness and averted gaze with blush.
** The second film of the Rebuild series has a scene where Hikari approaches Asuka and shyly asks if she can sit with her at lunch. She's even blushing when asking it.
* Sara from ''Anime/OvermanKingGainer'' gets one when Gainer declares his love for her while in the middle of a battle against a mind-reading opponent, forgetting or unaware that all the stuff he says are being broadcast across ''the entire Exodus units and some''. Progresses to full-facial or full-body blush when she ran across what basically counts as ''an entire town'' and gets called out on it.
* ''Anime/PanzerWorldGalient'': In chapter 6, when another character talks [[TheHero Jordy]], about love, he gets his entire face bright red.
* Brock does this A LOT during the course of the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' series.
* Himeno of ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'' blushes a lot, but that's nothing new for a typical {{shojo}} heroine. A worse case is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Hayate]], who displays great blushing skills while around Himeno, especially in the manga version.
* ''Anime/PrincessTutu'':
** Most of the characters display this at some point, but Fakir -- a brooding {{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}} — is probably the best at this out of the ''entire'' cast (yes, including the girls). There are moments in the show where his ENTIRE face glows bright red, and he's one of the darkest-skinned characters in the show! For a good example, check out [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/please_put_some_clothes_on_tv_tropes.jpg the picture]] from the PleasePutSomeClothesOn trope page.
** For blush coverage, you can't beat Ahiru. Her ''whole naked body'' went completely red once. Of course, for humour and frequency both, Fakir still comes out on top there.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma and Akane have done this in some of their romantic moments.
--> '''Genma:''' Oooo! You're ''blushing.''
--> '''Ranma:''' Grow up, Pop.
* Yomiko Readman of ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' does this twice in the OVA. Both times, it's as a result of fellow British Library agent Nancy Makuhari sneaking up behind her and pinching her cheeks, fiddling with her glasses or otherwise displaying some form of affection toward her. Needless to say, by the end of the series these two have hit pretty much every LesYay trope [[IncrediblyLamePun in the book.]]
* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'':
** ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' has Moka Akashiya, who easily blushes when around Tsukune. He could just say something completely random to her such as, "Really?" and she'll blush.'
** Moka nothing. Top blush in Rosa-Vam goes to [[DefrostingIceQueen Mizore]] [[AnIcePerson Shirayuki]], who may or may not up ''Manga/{{Karin}}''. Not only is she ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Never. Seen. NOT. Blushing]]'', she is an abominable snowgirl. How her face gets ''that'' hot is a mystery.
* This is the default expression of ''everyone'' in ''Manga/{{Saikano}}''. Up to the point where the blush sometimes appears to be ''coming off character' faces'' and can occasionally get quite distracting. The overuse of luminescent blushing in ''Saikano'' leads to the strange effect, that it doesn't even indicate, if a character is ''really'' blushing or not. Only when the face of someone turns glaring red, you can tell that he is in an emotional state that would cause a Luminescent Blush (if it wasn't already there).
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
** The Inner Sailor Senshi, their leader Sailor Moon and her boyfriend Tuxedo Kamen/Mask, find out that the child they've been looking after is Moon and Mask's KidFromTheFuture. The parents-to-be blush so deeply that [[HighPressureEmotion steam appears over their heads]]. It doesn't help when Sailor Mars barks:
--->'''Sailor Mars''': WHAT DAY, WEEK, MONTH OR YEAR DID THIS HAPPEN??!!!
** Infamously in the ''Super S'' movie, after killing some {{Mooks}}, [[ButchLesbian Sailor Uranus]] questions whether their plans have good or bad intentions. [[LipstickLesbian Sailor Neptune]] points out that being a child forever is a terrible idea because "there are so many fun things to do as adults." Despite not twitching, Uranus [[DelayedReaction slowly]] blushes and then [[ChirpingCrickets awkwardly clears her throat]].
** Sailor Mercury is knocked over in a tight alleyway to the point in which her behind is sticking up in the air. Sailor Jupiter behind her [[PantyShot glances up her skirt]] [[LesYay notably for a long while]], whilst blushing and biting her hand.
* In Act 2 of ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', Usagi blushes when she makes a mental note that her new acquaintance Ami is cute, and Ami, having been friendless, blushes whenever Usagi's affectionate, like when she hugs Ami effusively, tells her she's cuter when she smiles, and when she agrees to be friends.
* Nodoka of ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' gets these a lot, [[LesYay especially when she's with Saki]]. She also gets these when she's on a roll while chanelling her Nodocchi persona.
* This rather common in ''Manga/SakuraTrick''. It ''is'' a series about cute girls kissing cute girls...
* ''Manga/TheSeveringCrimeEdge'':
** Kiri has this expression on his face whenever he gets "excited" about cutting Iwai's hair.
** Iwai blushes often due to being easily flustered and shy.
* Kazumi Yoshida (which makes her very cute) whenever Yuji is around in ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana''. Shana doesn't lag too far behind, often coupled with her catch phrase. Especially in the S OAV.
* In the anime adaptation of ''Manga/{{Sketchbook}}'', the last episode, the shy Sora's entire face turns a luminescent red as her teacher compliments her artwork.
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'':
** Lina Inverse has been known to do this every now and then. The best scene was in a particular episode of ''Slayers NEXT'' when Lina and Gourry were talking about how long he would stay her protector. His response led to Lina's face shining brighter than her hair.
** Amelia in one scene from the same season does one when Zelgadis saves her and Martina from a mind-controlled horde of AxCrazy civilians. ''NEXT'' in general has quite a few of these, actually. Zelgadis himself gets several (especially in the [[OnceASeason cross-dressing episode]]); and [[spoiler:Zangulus does one at his wedding in the finale.]]
** One flashback in season 5 shows a human Zelgadis blushing when his great-grandfather Rezo touches his cheek and commends him for helping those he heals. The reason? He [[WellDoneSonGuy simply is happy being praised by someone so powerful and valued]].
* Go and watch any episode of ''Anime/SonicX'' where [[InterspeciesRomance Knuckles and Rouge]] are in the same place. Knuckles ''will'' do this at some point, either from anger or embarrassment (usually the latter). His muzzle matches his fur at least a third of the time she's around, for Chaos' sake!
* Makise Kurisu of ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' blushes extensively when her [[{{Tsundere}} dere side]] shows through, especially around Okabe. It's goddamn adorable. Okabe even does it himself a few times.
* Karin Koboku in ''Manga/SuperPig'' is known for this. In some episodes, her entire face turns blood red.
* Shy and timid Fumi from ''Manga/SweetBlueFlowers'' blushes extensively throughout most of the series, but especially so when she talks to a girl she likes. Peculiarly, the only other character who perhaps blushes even more is outgoing and energetic Haruka.
* This happens a few times in the OVA adaptation of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'':
** At the beginning of the first episode, Lloyd goes completely red in the face after Colette compliments the necklace he gave her for her birthday, despite the fact he knew it wasn’t very well made, and admitted as such directly to her.
** Early in the Tethe’alla Arc, when Genis tries to strike up a conversation, he briefly goes completely red-faced.
** Near the end of Episode 4 of the Tethe’alla Arc, Lloyd compliments Sheena after she says she’ll stick with the group to take down Cruxis. She tries to [[BlatantLies back-pedal and say she’s only going along out of curiosity about Origin.]] [[ShipperOnDeck Zelos and Genis both take notice and start teasing.]]
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'':
** Even '''Kamina''' manifests a blush once. While he's preaching to Simon that [[HotBlooded he should defeat his hunger with fighting spirit]], Kamina's stomach growls as well. Cue Kamina saying "Uh... me too?" followed by a blush and a nervous laugh.
** In the final episode, Simon does a blush when Nia excitedly shows him her wedding gown. Why is it emotional? Because [[spoiler:just now he's coming back from having destroyed an entire fucking UNIVERSE to get her back]]. Yes, he loves her that much. The scene is powerful because the man who was running on concentrated {{Hot Blooded}}ness for the entire arc is now doing something as mundane as blushing.
** In the highschool AU ''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Guren Gakuenhen'' Yoko starts blushing when Kamina comments on how well she fills out the bikini she's wearing. He misinterprets her flushed face as a mere sunburn.
--->'''Kamina:''' Huh? Why's your face red? You sunburnt already?\\
'''Yoko:''' I suppose you're just being you...
* Karina/Blue Rose from ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' has taken to developing luminescent blushes around Kotetsu once her crush on him goes from subtle to obvious enough that EveryoneCanSeeIt (except [[ObliviousToLove Kotetsu]]). Half of anything he does in her presence is liable to turn her red.
* Yami in ''Manga/ToLoveRu Darkness'' when she not want admit her new feeling for Rito during a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial speech.
* ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'''s [[{{Tsundere}} Taiga]] is prone to breaking out into one, especially where Yuusaku and (increasingly) Ryuuji are concerned. The full-body version occurs when [[spoiler: Ryuuji finally tells Taiga he loves her in the final episode's end credits epilogue]].
* ''Anime/TrueTears'': [[TheWoobie Noe]] when [[spoiler:Shinichirou]] confesses to her.
* Lucia from ''Manga/VenusVersusVirus'' gets these quite often when she's with Sumire, however Sumire almost ''always'' has one on, to the point that it's lampshaded.
* Appears all the time in ''Manga/WanderingSon''. It's essentially impossible to find a chapter of the manga where Nitori doesn't blush for at least one panel, and if she isn't blushing then someone else is.
* In ''Manga/WildFangs'', Mao has a really prominent blush after talking to so many girls all at once.
* ''Manga/WildRock'': Yuuen is prone to this.
* Used copiously and to great effect in ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows''. [[{{Tsundere}} Haqua]] probably does it most often, and not just because she's present in more scenes.
* Mahiru Inami from ''Manga/{{Working}}'' has this constantly. It doesn't help that she's also always anxious about [[ApologeticAttacker uncontrollably]] [[CuteBruiser punching]] any men near her. When attempting to hand out a Valentine's Day gift, she gets so nervous she partially melts the chocolate she's holding.
* Yuri Katsuki of ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' is prone to this, especially towards his idol and coach, Victor. [[spoiler:A prominent example of this can be seen in episode 10, when he exchanges what are essentially engagement rings with Victor.]]
