** A more serious example is when [[spoiler: Sayuri]] calls him out on this trope technically and calls him a JerkJock that enjoys the women flocking to him and breaking their hearts. Naturally, Akira snaps only because [[TheQuietOne Atsuki]] [[HoYay was standing right there]] when [[spoiler: she]] said that.
** And of course, there's Akira's other friend Ryo who is also oblivious of affection from both the girls that constantly visit his store just to see him (and not buy books, which pisses him off) and his [[HoYay best friend]] [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Hibiki]] and like Akira above, it has to be spelled out to him in order for him to understand. Only difference is that the person who asks him if Hibiki and him are going out is a YaoiFangirl and Hibiki isn't going to say anything.
* In ''VisualNovel/OneKagayakuKisetsuE'' Kouhei can't understand why Nanase is disappointed when he takes her to cheap Ramen restaurant to try this new ramen, even though she is wearing an expensive dress and its Christmas Eve, in Japan, a Holiday for Couples.
* Masayuki looks this way in Miku's route in ''VisualNovel/AProfile''.
* This really doesn't help ''{{Tsukihime}}'''s Shiki out when you combine it with the [[ChickMagnet Tohno Gland]] and penchant for attracting only people with superpowers or are dangerously crazy. By Kagetsu Tohya he seems to be at least a ''little'' aware, going out of his way to keep people like Ciel in his [[UnwantedHarem wanted harem]] focused on him. But still clueless to a baffling extent when you consider the six people in love with him in that story that he doesn't recognize ''at all.''\\

Some of those are justified, though. Akiha is his sister ([[spoiler:he thinks]]), Hisui has a crippling fear of men and acts quite cold, and he doesn't think Arcueid, being a vampire, is even capable of love like a human is. And to his credit, he does clear these up faster than most characters.
* Kyoko in ''VisualNovel/KaraNoShoujo'' is completely unaware of Uozumi's affections for her. It seems at first like Reiji is similarly oblivious to Kyoko, but it turns out to be a [[SelectiveObliviousness subversion.]]
* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** Miles Edgeworth seems to be entirely unaware of the [[MrFanservice frothing masses of fangirls he has]], let alone when females develop obvious crushes on him. Although he is all too aware of [[AbhorrentAdmirer Oldbag's]] affection to him. Needless to say, it {{squick}}ed him out. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''Trials and Tribulations'', when Gumshoe suggests that maybe the suspect (who Edgey vaguely recognised) was an ex who he forgot. His reaction? Genuine surprise, along with the genius line: "D-Do I really inspire this sort of frothing desire from the female masses?"
** Speaking of Gumshoe, it is ''very'' strongly hinted that he has a whopper of a crush on Maggey, though she seems to be almost unaware of his attraction to her.
** Apollo Justice is arguably worse: Juniper Woods tells him that she thinks he is wonderful ''while knitting hearts,'' and he still doesn't get a clue. Of course, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone else can see it.]] It really doesn't help that Juniper speaks glowingly of Apollo, in a series where nobody in the rest of the series speaks glowingly of anyone else.
* Hiroki in ''VisualNovel/{{Canvas 2}}''. Seven love interests and multiple students gunning for him and he's unaware of all of them.
