* Meido/Pluto from ''Manga/HeavensDesignTeam'' dresses in a lolita style with some goth elements, like a skull and a bone pattern on her dress and huge regal pigtails. The goth look is in line with her NightmareFetishist tendencies.

* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
** [[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Alibi_of_the_Black_Dress A whole case]] features a lolita fangirl, Mihiro Kuze, as ''the murder victim''. At the very start we get to see her wardrobe and she's in possession of quite a bit of Lolita clothes and jewelry, which borders as a case of CostumePorn [[AdaptationExpansion in the animated version.]] Later she's found dead in a public restroom and since Conan, Kogoro, Ran and Sonoko were among those who saw her alive last, they now have to testify and help investigate her death. [[spoiler: The fact that she's a lolita fangirl is ''vital'' in the resolution, as her black and red gown is one of the proofs against her killer: her former best friend Yuika, who had actually worn it before the murder to create an alibi... and she also had it on ''while she was killing Mihiro''.]]
** The trope also gets lampshaded when the victim is seen in the tea parlor for the first time. [[spoiler: [[DeadPersonImpersonation Or so we think]].]] Kogoro is weirded out and speaks about "that eerie witch costume" she's wearing, but Ran and Sonoko go all [[CutenessProximity "GOTH LOLI, SO CUUUUUUTE ~ !"]] [[DeadpanSnarker Of all people]], Conan explains to him what Goth-Loli is, and then he thinks that [[LittleMissSnarker Ai]] would fit in the subculture fairly well (complete with a ImagineSpot of Ai in a black gothloli dress). Later Megure is also surprised at the sight of Mihiro's lavishly-dressed corpse and snarks at Takagi when ''he'' explains what Gothloli is.
** During said case [[http://lindseythelittledetective.tumblr.com/post/103023949985/ran-and-sonoko-dressed-in-lolita-is-the-cutest the two girls go into a Lolita boutique]] [[spoiler: (specifically, the one where Mihiro purchased the black and red gown)]] to put on matching frilly and pink ''sweet lolita'' dresses. Conan/Shinichi is getting ready to snark at them and especially at Ran for their SkewedPriorities, [[http://whitediamondfairy.tumblr.com/post/56260587944 but]] [[LuminescentBlush is left starstruck]] [[SheCleansUpNicely once he actually sees Ran on it.]]

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Matsuri Dei has the look, but possesses a much more boisterous personality compared to most who wear the style and actually doesn't realize she's wearing a particular style of fashion. Due to a combination of her parents being fashion designers who made her outfits for her, her mother in particular being British, and Matsuri herself having a love of festivals as well as not being very knowledgeable about British culture, Matsuri thinks her outfit is the British version of a happi coat worn during festivals. When Rentarou first meets her, she's wearing a frilly gothic lolita dress while cooking yakisoba at her grandparents' festival stall.

* ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'' features several characters with eccentric, frilly and Lolita-inspired looks, though mostly notably are Chii's, with the dresses Chitose gives her. Freya is a another example, as Chii is going more towards Sweet Lolita than Gothic Lolita.

* A favorite art style of the mangaka of ''Manga/DragonKnights'', despite being a HighFantasy series. Most of the girls, especialy the DarkActionGirl type, are covered in layers of black crenoline and lace.

* Alice Shimada, from ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzerDerFilm'' and ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzerDasFinale'' wears frilly, elegant clothing when not in uniform.

* ''Manga/{{Moyashimon}}''. [[spoiler: Kei Yuuki, Tadayasu's childhood friend]] has a distinct love for this style of dress apparently.

** Evangeline A.K. [=McDowell=] dresses like this ''all the time'' when not wearing her school uniform. In one chapter of the manga, Evangeline takes on Asuna as an apprentice and demands that she dress only in gothic lolita style. In another, she dresses those still at school campus during the holidays in cosplay/Goth Loli, because she's bored. The ''fanboys'' were entertained, at least.

** Madoka Kaname dresses rather normally most of the time, but her MagicalGirl outfit looks like it's straight-up taken from the wardrobe of a Sweet Lolita fan -- has a puffy skirt, lots of frills, huge ribbons and super cute shoes with frilly knee-length socks. The Gothic aesthetic can fit as well, as Puellae inevitably [[spoiler:mutate into Germanic or Victorian-themed EldritchAbomination Witches.]]

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Matsuri Dei has the look, but possesses a much more boisterous personality compared to most who wear the style and actually doesn't realize she's wearing a particular style of fashion.

* ''Cat Street'' has a lolita character who couldn't fit into a normal public school because of her unusual fashion choices.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has Perona as one of the CoDragons in the Thriller Bark arc, Oda's tribute to the horror genre.
