No one wants a clingy person that's for sure.
- Akame ga Kill!: General Esdeath is a 20-something-year-old who wishes to make the teenage Tatsumi her lover. Considering she's depicted as gorgeous, one would think Tatsumi would be elated someone like her would want him. Unfortunately, Tatsumi is a believer of peace and only joined the assassin group of Night Raid to defeat the corrupt Empire Esdeath serves. Esdeath herself is a psychotic woman and a firm believer that the strong rule and the weak deserve to suffer. He goes from afraid to outright hating Esdeath for all the murder she willingly causes and her interest in making him her property. When Tatsumi becomes an Official Couple with Mine, he outright tells Esdeath to her face that he's got a girlfriend now. Safe to say, Esdeath doesn't take it very well. When Esdeath is finally killed by Akame, she regrets that she could never win Tatsumi's affection as she feels that she is Dying Alone.
- Akudama Drive: To Swindler's disgust, Cutthroat takes a strong liking to the girl because of the pink colors on her outfit and decides to be by her side no matter what. The disgust isn't caused by his looks, more so by the fact he's a Serial Killer who has killed 1,000 people.
- Miyako Miyazaki from Bamboo Blade is a cute girl with a sadistic side, but has only one major weakness: a middle school classmate by the name of Reimi Odajima who has been stalking Miya-miya ever since she beat up a boy she liked. Reimi follows her to all of her kendo tournaments snapping pictures and shooting videos of her beloved idol, oftentimes inadvertently distracting her enough to lose her match. And yet having a psychotic for a number-one fan turns out to be quite handy later on when Miyako and Azuma look through Reimi's photo and video collection to help Miya-miya train against an American rival.
- Aleister Chamber and Baron Kelvin of Black Butler both rate fairly high on Ciel's No Yay scale.
- Sebastian openly finds Grell's flirtation disgusting and often asks him to stop.
- Boys over Flowers: Sanjou Sakurako is hopelessly in love with Tsukasa that she tries to smear her best friend, Tsukushi's, name out of resentment. But, her plan is foiled when Tsukasa finally learns the truth that he comes to hate her even more, much to her chagrin.
- In Cardfight!! Vanguard, recurring character Nagisa is also very pretty, but Kamui is always trying to get away from her since she seemingly can't take a hint...
- Cowboy Bebop: Andy in "Cowboy Funk" is a handsome man, but when visiting his place after the masquerade ball gets bombed, Faye finds his self-absorbed personality totally insufferable — mostly because it reminds her of Spike, only worse somehow. Fortunately for her, he gets sidetracked by his rivalry with Spike before they can interact again, and she's able to avoid him for the rest of the episode, the sole long-term outcome is that they now have a tremendous amount of unpleasant stew (which is at least an improvement on the usual empty-pantry situation).
- In Daily Lives of High School Boys, the Literature Girl is treated as one by Hidenori. While she's far from ugly, Hidenori is weirded out enough by her fantasies that he goes through great lengths to avoid meeting her.
- Daimos: Reiko is smitten with Kyoushiro and is too dumb to see that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. Kazuya and Nana find Kyoushiro's discomfort around her hilarious. However, by the end of the episode, she's lost her feelings for him.
- Daltanious: Princess Catine really, really wants the Heliosian throne and will do whatever it takes to get it. She travels all the way from Proxia to Earth so that she can woo Kento Tate, the descendant of Palmillion, (the last Emperor of Helios). Unfortunately, she's oblivious to how her pushyness is rather alienating to him.
- Digimon:
- Mimi from Digimon Adventure has her share of these, namely the slug-like Numemon and the dimwitted duo of the living turd Sukamon and the ratlike Chumon.
- In the second season, Matt/Yamato is constantly chased by Davis'/Daisuke's sister June, a fangirl of his band that isn't exactly ugly but is VERY forward and clingy, much to his horror. The other Digidestined occasionally uses her crush on him to distract her when Davis is off saving the Digiworld, much to Matt's displeasure.
- Mummymon to Arukenimon in the latter half of the second season.
- The very minor Osamu Tezuka anime and manga series Don Dracula has this as a Running Gag. Dracula prefers to subsist on the blood of beautiful women, and somehow never quite manages to grab one onscreen, but a grotesque (and overweight) young woman keeps popping up, determined to offer her neck and other... charms to the foreign nobleman.
- Fairy Tail:
- Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki of Blue Pegasus always attempts to hit on Erza any chance he gets. Due to his stout stature and ugly face, his attempts at flirting with her tends to creep her out. Ironically, this makes Ichiya one of the very few characters in the series who can scare Erza witless.
- Juvia is this to Gray at first. Despite being a very beautiful woman, her attempts to show him affection are more-often-than-not so exaggerated, she only succeeds in driving him away. The Abhorrent part is slowly dropped over time, with him gradually accepting her more and even enjoying her company.
- In the Fushigi Yuugi novel Seiran Den (chronicling Nakago's history), Tomo (then known as Ragun) got himself a rather ardent female admirer, the leader of the palace girls, Ba Hinhin. She is described as having a "horse-like face," and tends to "snort fiercely through her nose" when she's making advances on him. He finds her intensely annoying and tries to distract her away from him. Then again, the mere fact of being the object of a woman's desire would gross him out.
- Girlfriend, Girlfriend: Played with in the case of Rika "Mirika" Hoshizaki. Naoya acknowledges that she's a really beautiful girl and most people would love to date her, but he rejects her on the grounds that he's already pushing his luck by two-timing Saki and Nagisa. At the same time, however, the trope is played straight by the fact that he finds her pushy nature and refusal to leave him alone frustrating and annoying.
- Ghost Talker's Daydream: Mitsurunote is closer to Hollywood Homely, rather than outright unattractive. What makes him abhorrent to Misaki is the fact that he's a stalker, who either won't take "no" for an answer, or he just doesn't care, despite being threatened with police action
if he doesn't stop. Mitsuru has even gone so far as to bug her apartment, has stolen entire drawers of her panties on several occasions, and even has recordings of her using the bathroom. - In Girls Saurus, almost every girl who shows an interest in Shingo (that is to say, most of the cast and most female one-shot characters) becomes an abhorrent admirer, due to their tendency to throw themselves at him and his gynophobia that makes him visualise them as horrible ogres.
- GTO: The Early Years: Souna (who's very attractive and actually wants him) becomes this to Eikichi, after he learns she has an STD and has deliberately infected guys with it in the past. He still defends her from other guys who try to take advantage of her, but turns down her advances.
- Dama from Haré+Guu, exaggerated to a cartoonish degree. She's usually a nice elderly hairdresser, but whenever she sees any male with white hair, she becomes so strongly reminded of her dead husband that she moves straight past insanity levels of obsession and right into nightmare land. (Later in the series, Haré ends up changing Dama's targets from white-haired males to any males.) In her debut episode, she is rather over-the-top in her chase of Dr. Clive, but ultimately human-looking. However, in her later appearances she becomes an animalistic, feral Humanoid Abomination, who chases down white-haired men to tear them to pieces (all while her Imagine Spots show her as a beautiful young girl trying to reunite with her husband).
- Hello! Sandybell: Kitty Shearer is enamoured with Mark Wellington, and when his father makes him enter an Arranged Marriage with her (so the Wellingtons can access the Shearer's wealth and inheritance), she's elated. Mark, on the other hand, has eyes for Sandybell and runs away from the marriage.
- A variation in Hetalia: Axis Powers. Belarus isn't unattractive, her object of affection even admits that she's really pretty. It's her Yandere Clingy Jealous Girl tendencies that makes her abhorrent — that and the fact that the person who she is an abhorrent admirer of is her brother.
- Aya Kunitachi of High School Ninja Girl, Otonashi-san, while hardly ugly, is still single at age 30. This wouldn't be so bad, except she develops a crush on a man who finds Old Maids like herself utterly unattractive, despite being 32 himself.
- Near the end, it's revealed that part of the reason is that she looks identical to his older sister who also has a crush on him. Once he's able to view her as a different person he deals with it somewhat better, and they're engaged in the epilogue.
- In Hoshin Engi, Venus, one of Chokomei's hideous three sisters, is head over heels in love with Anti-Hero protagonist Taikobo. He spits up blood from seeing her strike a "sexy pose." Being the Manipulative Bastard he is, he did fake being slightly friendly towards her just so he could immediately distract her and defeat them. His disgust and horror towards her constant aggressive advances toward him are played for laughs.
- Mayotama is this towards Miki in I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying. A good example is that in S2E03 Miki and Mayotama won a free trip to the hot springs, and Miki decides to pay for all his friends to the trip in S2E05 to avoid having to "date" Mayotama. In fact, Miki goes Blue with Shock whenever Mayotama looks lovestruck.
- Igano Kabamaru: Kabamaru likes Mai, but she finds him so ugly that upon meeting him for the first time, she has nightmares of him and his dreadful eating habits.
- Inuyasha:
- Miroku is always chasing beautiful girls, whose reactions vary from schoolgirl glee to violent backlash, but always with the same result: no-one of them is interested in him. However, he's often chased by the old, the overweight or the funny-featured, much to his horror and chagrin.
- Inuyasha himself has one in the form of Jakotsu, an Ax-Crazy Depraved Homosexual and a member of an undead band of assassins.
- Isabelle of Paris: Jean's been asking Isabelle to marry him ever since they were young, in spite of her constant rejections. One flashback from when they were children has this hilarious exchange:Jean, after drawing a chalk illustration of Isabelle in a wedding dress on the ground: "Isabelle, your wedding dress looks so beautiful."Isabelle: "Of course it does. But you'll be disappointed since I'll be wearing it for someone else."
- The Junji Ito Kyoufu Manga Collection story "Fashion Model" takes this trope to horrifying levels.
- Rina Takamiya in Kaitou Saint Tail starts off not even really "liking" Asuka Jr. as much as she enjoys exploiting his lack of a spine to toy around with him and force him to do what she wants, so it naturally stands he has absolutely zero interest in a girl who has nothing to offer him besides threatening him with violence. Even worse, she's such a Clingy Jealous Girl that she starts threatening Meimi/Saint Tail to force Asuka Jr. to look at her, which also works exactly as well as you'd expect "threatening someone who's actually nice to him" would. She gets a minor Adaptational Nice Guy touch-up in the anime where her attraction to him is played as more legitimate and she does actually take his feelings into account at times, but it doesn't change the fact that she still tries to get whatever she wants via violence or force, and Asuka Jr. still wants nothing to do with her. By the time Takamiya finally starts catching onto the idea that being a Clingy Jealous Girl might not actually be the best approach, it's too late, because Asuka Jr. pretty much only has eyes for Meimi by that point, ironically at least partially due to Takamiya's own actions.
- After an incident in which Meimi feeds Casanova Wannabe Sawatari's ego a bit too much, he falls for her and flirts with her in very invasive, possessive ways that Meimi clearly dislikes but is too much of an Extreme Doormat with her classmates to do anything about. Asuka Jr. can tell that she's uncomfortable and wastes no time in stepping in on her behalf, and Meimi herself only ever entertains Sawatari when she wants something out of him, because she'd already quietly devoted her heart to Asuka Jr. a long time ago.
- Midari in Kakegurui. A member of the Absurdly Powerful Student Council and a masochistic Stalker with a Crush towards Yumeko, who despises her for conflicting with her desire for thrilling, unpredictable gambles.
- In Kamisama Kiss a semi-recurring gag is when Tomoe, who is better looking than some women in the story, attracts admirers he wants nothing to do with.
- Layton Mystery Detective Agency: Emiliana is not receptive to Mintan's advances once he falls for her in episode 45, but gives in to teaming up with him out of necessity. In episode 46 she goes on a date to the museum to (unsuccessfully) try to shut him up. True to the trope, while Mintan is not ugly per se, he is certainly plain-looking and less than handsome compared to the other recurring named male characters in the anime.
- Played with in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. When Keith tries hitting on Nina, her Amazonian friend Mora jumps in and turns the tables on him, even using the same words he tried on Nina. Mora isn't ugly by any means, so Keith isn't as much disgusted as he is intimidated. But things work out(mostly offscreen), and the two of them even start dating roughly halfway through the series.
- In Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Seo likes hanging out with Wakamatsu and favors him to some extent, but he finds her incredibly annoying. In a bit of Dramatic Irony, he has compared her unfavorably to the "ideal" Lorelei right to her face in an attempt to shame her, but she only gets happier every time he does so.
- Rock Lee from Naruto was briefly a male example towards Sakura, with Sakura funnily dodging his blown kisses, until he earned her respect by defending her from the Sound ninjas.
- No-Rin: Ms. Becky. Despite her looks, especially for her age, she's not exactly the most sought out by Kousaku, or any guy for that matter, likely due to her abrasiveness and extreme lengths to look young in her students' eyes.
- One Piece:
- If you're an elderly woman, you're given a license to bug Sanji.
- Sanji was sent to an entire island of these, who chased him for two years as a part of his Training from Hell. It was also turned into a brief Running Gag after he escaped.
- According to Luffy, Alvida. Subverted by how he still wasn't interested after she became drop-dead gorgeous.
- The most prominent example in One Piece is the warthog zombie Lola, whose entire fighting style revolves around stealing kisses from her beloved Absalom. She's also a subversion however, as she turns out to be a very sympathetic character, while Absalom is portrayed as a perverted Jerkass.
- The real Lola is this as well, though she's not as Ax-Crazy as her zombie was. Franky plays an advance from her cool, saying he's too "super" for anything to work out between them.
- The ugly psychopath Vander Decken IX to Princess Shirahoshi.
- The yokozuna (champion sumo wrestler) Urashima towards Kiku. His Entitled to Have You attitude towards her didn't exactly do him any favors.
- In PandoraHearts, we have Isla Yura, the ugliest person to ever exist in the manga, fanboying disgustingly over Jack. Oz, the person carrying Jack’s soul, could not be any more annoyed to have Yura stalking him over and over at his second coming-of-age ceremony…
- Pokémon: The Series gives one to James of Team Rocket in the form of his own fiancée, Jessebelle, who's rigid and violently controlling, attacking him with a whip and apparently intending to chain him up in a bondage dungeon. He ran away from his wealthy childhood home entirely because of her, but she still hopes to capture and forcibly marry him.
- Ranma ½:
- Tatewaki Kuno is an idiot who can't take a hint that Akane and girl Ranma hate him, continuing to pursue them despite always getting beaten for his trouble whenever he tries to make sexual advances on them. His sister Kodachi is equally obnoxious to boy Ranma, who knows she's insane and will get him killed even if she's not trying to.
- Konatsu's stepfamily, the "Sexy Ninja Tea Ladies"◊, are a mother and her two daughters are all extremely ugly masculine-looking—the best-looking and most feminine one was modeled after Edward G. Robinson—who hound everyone guy who comes into their teahouse.
- In Reborn! (2004), there's the "Bowling" chapter, where Longchamp invites Tsuna and Gokudera to go on a three-person blind date. Longchamp's idea of a "cute" girl has always been... unique. So the three girls he invited were absolutely hideous (one of them even being Reborn in an ugly drag). The whole chapter consists of Tsuna and all of his Bishōnen guardians / male friends coming by, being horrified by how ugly these women are, and then trying to run away from them as the women aggressively pursue them.
- In Red River (1995), Ramses is this to Yuri. He's quite handsome and charismatic and quite a few girls (including, initially, Yuri's maids) think he's quite a dreamboat. Yuri dislikes him because he's smug, wasn't terribly helpful when they first met (considering she'd been shot with an arrow and was trying to prevent a war between Egypt and the Hitte Empire, it was kind of important she have help), and quickly proved himself to be a total cad. That he ends up kidnapping her several times and makes no secret of his desire to take her to Egypt and force her to be his wife doesn't improve her opinion of him at all. In fact, he only avoids falling under Stalker with a Crush because the physical distance between the two empires means that Ramses can't feasibly follow her around all the time.
- Saber Marionette J: Hanagata is this towards Otaru, not only because Otaru isn't attracted to men in the least, but because he finds his antics obnoxious and irritating, especially his tendency to sneak into his house uninvited.
- Samurai Pizza Cats: A very rare example when it's the princess playing this role to a villain. Princess Vi is a bratty girl with a short temper who has quite the crush on the lead henchman, Bad Bird. Even ignoring he has feelings for someone else, her bratty behavior and short temper cause him to take fighting the Pizza Cats over her, outright calling the idea of marrying her a Fate Worse than Death.
- Shimoneta subverts the trope with Anna, who's shown to be buxom and stunningly beautiful. The problem is she's become a perpetually horny, nigh unstoppable sexual predator ever since Tanukichi accidentally kissed her. The incident was Anna's first contact with the opposite sex, due to her sheltered upbringing, which set off her long repressed hormones like a dam exploding. It also shattered Tanukichi's "perfect image" of her, leaving him terrified and no longer attracted her.
- An LGBT example: Sanae of Squid Girl is actually quite pretty, but Ika herself sees her as this.Sanae: IKA-CHAN! (Ika smacks Sanae with her hair/tentacles.)
- The extremely perverted, and morbidly obese, principal of Sainan High School in To Love Ru. He tends to mostly chase after Yami who happens to be one of the strongest females in the series, doesn't tolerate perverts, and sends him flying off to odd locations around the Earth.
- Sword Art Online: Sugou Nobuyuki is this to Asuna. He freely admits that Asuna has always hated him, and that was before the events of the Fairy Dance arc when he traps her in a cage in ALO for two months and makes multiple attempts to sexually assault her before trying to rape her outright. When holding her captive, Sugou asks for Asuna's love, and Asuna tells him point-blank that he'll have to make do with her disgust and hatred.
- Urusei Yatsura:
- Lum has Rei, her ex-fiancé from the Oni world, who looks like a gorgeous bishonen in human form, but can easily turn into a bull-tiger hybrid monster whenever excited. He's dumber than a sack of brick and, when not pursuing Lum, can only think about one thing: eating non-stop. Lum quite understandably wants nothing to do with him.
- Shinobu has one too: Soban of Busumetsu High, who besides being the boss of a delinquent gang, is Giant Mook-sized and a most extreme Gonk even by Rumiko Takahashi standards. A running gag is how much he has trouble acting like a human being and not an animal (toss him a ball, he'll play with it like a tamed seal). He does little beyond charge at Shinobu yelling: "Shinobu-saaaan! SUKI DAAAA!!!!" Thankfully, Shinobu is even stronger than Soban and usually sends him flying.
- Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!: Ami gains one in Sasamoto, one of Sakurai and Sakaki's friends who's obsessed with getting himself a girlfriend, and whose Manchild, Casanova Wannabe tendencies only succeed in driving girls away.
- UzaMaid: Our Maid Is Way Too Annoying!:
- Tsubame Kamoi is an ex-JSDF soldier who is obsessed with the young Misha Takanashi so much so, when she isn't spending her time cleaning, she would stalk her around town, make clothes that she intends for her to wear, and even tries to ask her for her hand in marriage frequently.
- Ukai Midori is a masochistic former first lieutenant of the JSDF who fell for Tsubame due to the power she held over the training dogs. Tsubame herself has stated her distaste for her urges, but ironically, they balance each other out.
- In WATATEN!: an Angel Flew Down to Me, Miyako Hoshino becomes smitten by her sister Hinata's best friend Hana Shirosaki, so much so, she often tries to have her wear cosplay outfits that she handcrafted under the agreement that she'd make her sweets for her compliance. Hana, while immensely disturbed by her, allows her to do so because of the free food.
