History NotWhatItLooksLike / AnimeAndManga

* The RescueArc in ''Manga/MusukoGaKawaikuteShikataganaiMazokuNoHahaoya'' was sparked bythis. [[spoiler:Eliza's husband (the heir of a major demon faction) suffered an unexpected death and his former aides came to pick her up because they hoped that having their daughter (now the new heiress) would help prevent any political turmoil. Everyone realized almost immediately how badly humans might take a demon living under their protection suddenly disappearing with signs of forced entry (since it's ''really'' hard to get into her apartment without a key) might look and they were going to let her go back home right away, but her father-in-law wanted to spend some time doting on his granddaughter.]]

* This is a running gag with Miko in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' after she joins the student council, walking in at the worst possible time on things that are ''far'' more innocent in context (like Shirogane and Ishigami forcibly taping Fujiwara's mouth shut to keep her from spoiling a manga, or Kaguya running out in tears while calling Shirogane a manwhore [[ItMakesSenseInContext because she thought he wore boxers]]). This results in her coming to some very interesting conclusions about what happens when she isn't present.

-->'''Ichikawa:''' ''IT'S PRUICHE!!''\\

* In ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'', Ichikawa and Yamada sneak into the chemistry room to make pruiche[[note]]Fruiche[[/note]] (The cooking room was locked) and get caught by the teacher while Yamada was drinking it down. Ichikawa tries to come up with an excuse before seeing Yamada kneeling on the floor, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything coughing... with the pruiche all over her legs.]] Ichikawa then confesses what ''was'' happening to avoid a worse situation.
-->'''Ichikawa:''' IT'S PRUICHE!!\\

* This is the primary joke of ''Manga/DelinquentExorcistReina''. Reina is an OccultDetective whose methods for getting rid of evil spirits all coincidentally look a lot like she's being a bully--for instance, yelling insults at ghosts which only she can see, writing insulting messages on people's property that are meant to exorcise spirits, or attacking people when she's really attacking spirits possessing objects around them. Reina, for her part, refuses to explain herself [[FigureItOutYourself because she thinks it's a waste of time]]--she may not be a bully, but she is a jerk.

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'': Multiple:

%%* ''LightNovel/HarukaNogizakasSecret'' has a straight romantic misunderstanding version of this, but there's also several times when Haruka's prying sister/father mistake innocuous activities for sex.

* ''Anime/IsekaiQuartet'': In Episode 5, [[Literature/KonoSuba Darkness]] tried to show off her durability in the talent show by having someone whip her. [[Literature/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil Warren]] volunteered to help without knowing what he was getting into but due to how Darkness worded it, it made it sound like Warren regularly whipped women which made the entire cast call him trash. [[Literature/ReZero Subaru]] was later dragged into it when he attempted to call Warren out.

* In ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'', Mahiro is attempting to get PrettyFreeloaders Nyarko and Cuuko out of the house before his mother returns from her honeymoon. Just as she steps in the door, the trio falls into the foyer from the living room, with Nyarko on her back, Mahiro on top of her (and between her legs) and Cuuko clinging to his back. Thankfully, Mahiro's mother actually ''does'' let him explain things, though we don't see the explanation thanks to the opening credits.

* In ''LightNovel/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'' Sorata is in a lot of these thanks to [[NoSocialSkills Mashiro]]. Often in those situations she will also say things either out of context, or out of order, to imply things done between her and Sorata.

* In an early episode of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'', Yukari Sendo creates a voodoo doll of Tsukune to try and drive Moka away from him, and uses it to make him feel up [[GagBoobs Kurumu]] when she comes to visit him in the sick-bay. Moka walks in on them, with Tsukune panicking and Kurumu in ecstasy, then [[spoiler: Yukari forces him to trip and pull Kurumu's panties off]]. [[SuccubiAndIncubi Kurumu]] certainly doesn't mind.

* In ''Psychometrer Eiji'', the main heroine Ryoko, due to a combination of ChristmasCake {{Angst}} and old boyfriend being married, went to the title character’s friend restaurant and ended up getting drunk causing him to have to take her home. When Eiji touched his shirt the next day, he saw various images that made it look like Toru had taken advantage of her, and attacked him. What happened was she threw up on his shirt so he took it off to wash it, he gave her stomach medicine from a small square plastic container, and not wanting to go home in the cold with a wet shirt he cooked her a meal while waiting for it to dry.

* During the tenth episode of ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', Mira tells Yuu and Chikage that she and Ao have been polishing up their entrance essays for Shiny Star Challenge every night. Upon hearing the pharse "every night", Yuu wondered whether they are JapaneseDelinquents for walking around late every night. Mira {{facefault}}s, and Chikage has to explain to Yuu what she learnt from her older sister Mikage, the former club vice-president: [[spoiler:Ao is living away from her parents [[InnocentCohabitation with Mira]] so that they can [[GoalInLife find an asteroid together]]]], so there is never any "walking around at night" to begin with.

%%* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Touma has this happen to him at the end of every arc ''without fail.''

* In ''LightNovel/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'', when Chiho arrives at [=McRonalds=] with Alas Ramus during Maou's shift, their co-workers think that [[IsThatCuteKidYours Alas is Maou's and Chiho's child]] (in actuality, Alas sees Maou as her father, she sees Emi as her mother). Their manager [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Mayumi]] averts both tropes by pointing out how society will often jump to conclusions and rumors will spread fast, especially since Chiho is a teenager and Maou is a grown adult.

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'':

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':

* In an episode of ''Manga/InuYasha'', Inuyasha has been wounded, and Kagome tries to administer first aid (not knowing about his demonic HealingFactor). In order to do this, she must remove his clothes, which leads to the two of them on the ground, her on top, struggling to pull open his robe, and loudly ordering him to undress. At the time Kaede is [[RightBehindMe right behind her]], along with some children who take the scene the wrong way.
* ''Anime/IsekaiQuartet'': In Episode 5, [[LightNovel/{{Konosuba}} Darkness]] tried to show off her durability in the talent show by having someone whip her. [[LightNovel/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil Warren]] volunteered to help without knowing what he was getting into but due to how Darkness worded it, it made it sound like Warren regularly whipped women which made the entire cast call him trash. [[LightNovel/ReZero Subaru]] was later dragged into it when he attempted to call Warren out.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': When Hikaru is acting as TheHandler for Akira on his EscortMission of a BigBadassRig, they go to the roof to watch the sunrise, and because of how treacherous the footing is and the fact that Akira’s PoweredArmor has a StickyShoes function, Hikaru ends up giving Akira an OverlyLongHug so as not to fall that gets the two mistaken for lovers by the passing by Shirou and Halmers.

* In the manga version of ''LightNovel/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'', Shuurei became sick and Ryuuki sneaked into her bedroom at night to visit her, genuinely wanting to help her feel better. Unfortunately, Ryuuki ended up giving her a strong medicine mixed with a (badly made) ginger broth, making Shuurei scream from the horrible taste. In comes running her family who then see what looks like Ryuuki forcing himself onto a gagging Shuurei on the bed...
%%* In ''LightNovel/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil'', Basara is often caught up in situations like these with Mio.

* In ''LightNovel/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'', several others walk in while Leon and Noelle are alone in a room, the former holding a chain attached to a collar around the latter's neck. Moreover, there's a baby carriage in the room. The collar was actually put on Noelle by someone else and the baby carriage was from Leon taking care of a classmate's sick dog, but the situation certainly looks like something particularly kinky.

* In ''Manga/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'', when Chiho arrives at [=McRonalds=] with Alas Ramus during Maou's shift, their co-workers think that [[IsThatCuteKidYours Alas is Maou's and Chiho's child]] (in actuality, Alas sees Maou as her father, she sees Emi as her mother). Their manager [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Mayumi]] averts both tropes by pointing out how society will often jump to conclusions and rumors will spread fast, especially since Chiho is a teenager and Maou is a grown adult.
