* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' does this all the time, especially with the Jägermonsters.

* The cover of the RollingStones spinoff album ''Jamming With Edward'' (yes, that's where ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' got one of its episode titles from) features a cartoon strip by Nicky Hopkins, in which a sideways smile ''literally'' splits a character's face in two [[spoiler:causing the top of his head to fall off]].

* Tora's default expression in ''UshioToTora'', both happy and angry.

* Plenty of characters in ''SoulEater'' get this, particularly Soul himself when the little demon gets in on the action.

* Many characters in ''ShinChan'' do this, though Shin and Hima do it the most. For those two the smile isn't just visible from the side but ''[[ExaggeratedTrope directly behind them]].''

* Early in ''{{Inuyasha}}'', Sesshomaru smiles like this... and the smile keeps going, becoming a fanged muzzle as Sesshomaru takes on his true dog-demon form.

* The cover of the RollingStones spinoff album ''Jamming With Edward'' (yes, that's where ''CowboyBebop'' got one of its episode titles from) features a cartoon strip by Nicky Hopkins, in which a sideways smile ''literally'' splits a character's face in two [[spoiler:causing the top of his head to fall off]].

* Many characters in ''ShinChan'' do this, though Shin and Hima do it the most.

* Haruko in ''{{FLCL}}'' does this a lot.

* Many characters in ''{{Shin Chan}}'' do this, though Shin and Hima do it the most.
* ''NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind''. Kurotowa seems to have one perpetually plastered on his face. Ironically, Chris Sarandon seems to share that trait.

* Plenty of characters in {{Soul Eater}} get this, particularly Soul himself when the little demon gets in on the action.
* Both Kamina and Simon both do this the course of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann,'' especially when they each both first get in their own mecha.

* It may not come as much of a surprise that both Kamina and Simon get in on this in the course of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann,'' most notably in the first time each of them gains their respective mecha.

* Lust does this early on in the ''FullmetalAlchemist'' manga. Combined with PsychoticSmirk.
