Questionable examples from the Anime/Manga section; if you think these fit, please explain in terms of the trope definition (which is not just \\\"cute little boy\\\"):

* Haré from \\\'\\\'[[JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Haré+Guu]]\\\'\\\' probably counts. He was mistaken for a girl once and even crossdressed (against his will) once.
* Miharu in \\\'\\\'NabariNoOu\\\'\\\' who is very much aware of his own cuteness and is not above using it to his own advantage, or just to torment people. [[spoiler:[[FanNickName Shotazawa]], later on.]]
* His Holiness Alessandro XVIII, 399th Pope of Rome, from \\\'\\\'TrinityBlood\\\'\\\', is a Adorably Precocious Child constantly being scolded by his mean, aggressive big brother.
** What about Ion Fortuna? Sure he\\\'s [[OlderThanTheyLook much older,]] but he\\\'s young as Methuselah go, and his awkwardness around Esther smacks of first love.
* Takumi, youngest of the few boys in \\\'\\\'Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}\\\'\\\', fulfills most of the requirements. He\\\'s gentle, domestic, [[IllGirl needs caring for]], affectionate to his older sister, whose friends also [[{{Squee}} enjoy]] him being in a pseudo-HoYay relationship with [[{{WholesomeCrossdresser}} Akira]].
* Parodied with \\\'\\\'lolishota type\\\'\\\' Mitsukuni \\\"Hani\\\" Haninozuka in \\\'\\\'OuranHighSchoolHostClub\\\'\\\', who, despite being [[OlderThanTheyLook the oldest member]], uses his over-the-top childish looks and behavior (plus a stuffed bunny he always carries around) to get the club\\\'s customers to fawn over him. Later, Renge coaches a decidedly less cutesy MouthyKid into a \\\'\\\'[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold rascal]]\\\'\\\' type she thinks will appeal to big sisters.
* The title character from \\\'\\\'{{Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo}}!\\\'\\\' has a slightly older, [[OneHeadTaller slightly taller]] girl [[{{Tsundere}} demand]] that he go out with her due to his falling into this trope. [[WillTheyOrWontThey thank god this was in the first episode]]...
* In a similar vein, \\\'\\\'LightNovel/{{Kanokon}}\\\'\\\' has its girls falling over this character type. His name (Kouta) even \\\'\\\'rhymes\\\'\\\' with \\\'\\\'shota\\\'\\\'.
* Simon, Rossiu or Gimmy in \\\'\\\'TengenToppaGurrenLagann\\\'\\\' are possible examples [[spoiler:(and the first two both became {{Bishonen}} after the [[TimeSkip Time Skip]])]], but according to [[AllThereInTheManual the last Parallel Works video]] when [[spoiler:\\\'\\\'[[BaldOfEvil freaking]] [[RatedMForManly Lord]][[BeardOfEvil genome]]\\\'\\\']] of all people was a kid he was one of them. Hell, he practically looked like a somewhat masculine version of [[spoiler:[[StrongFamilyResemblance his daughter Nia]]]].
* Train from \\\'\\\'Manga/BlackCat\\\'\\\' temporarily reverts back to being a child (due to being shot with a Lucifer bullet). He is so incredibly MoeMoe, [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/train-animestocks-067.jpg it\\\'s not even funny]]. This is milked for what it\\\'s worth in the anime, where it\\\'s complete with his original clothes falling off of him because they\\\'re suddenly too big for him, he blinks innocently several times, and says \\\"eh?\\\" in a very cute, high voice. Later, he\\\'s even shown to be forced to wear [[{{Crossdresser}} Eve\\\'s dress]] temporarily, since no one else had clothes that were his size. It\\\'s an interesting thought as to what [[StalkerWithACrush Creed]] would\\\'ve done if he had seen Train like that...
