This trope is when two characters have strong/obvious mutual feelings for each other. Sakura never loved Naruto, and Naruto outright rejected her fake love confession. Therefore, they never mutually loved each other. Also, only three people assumed they were dating. Three does not equal "many". Based on these reasons, this entry was deleted.

Added DiffLines:
* Kyon and Haruhi in ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. This is rather difficult to tell, given Kyon is an UnreliableNarrator and half the time he's lying to himself, the reader, or other people. This has created a large WillTheyOrWontThey among the fanbase, considering Kyon's being especially vague and there being a larger ulterior motive behind everything he does that would normally be counted as romantic feelings. However, given the 95% chance he's probably getting with her, Kyon refuses to acknowledge the relationship and says nothing on the subject. This doesn't stop all of his classmates from assuming that he's Haruhi's first love interest in a while, adding to Kyon's reputation for liking "weird girls"...
* ''Manga/SevenSeeds'': Semimaru hides his feelings for Natsu, but Hibari, Chimaki, Arashi, Hotaru and even Matsuri by now have done slants at how obviously Semimaru likes Natsu. [[ObliviousToLove Natsu doesn't notice herself]].
* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':
%%** Heiji and Kazuha. "It's so obvious it can be painful."
** And, to a lesser extent, Shinichi and Ran. Except for the fact that she blatantly tells "Conan" about her crush in the first episode. Still SelectiveObliviousness on his part though.
* Otani and Risa in ''Manga/LovelyComplex'' are shipped mercilessly by their friends well before they get into a relationship.
* Franchise/DragonBall:
** ''Manga/DragonBall'': [[ThirdEye Tien]] and [[SplitPersonality Launch]] get a bit of this, Launch is openly attracted to Tien while he's either oblivious or just shy. Even pervy pig Oolong makes note of it causing Tien and Launch to blush. Launch is unfortunately absent for most of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', but the reason Tien moves around so much is because it's hard to keep up the fighting-monk demeanor when there's beautiful woman chasing you around. Apparently Tien worked it out with Launch... Somehow.
** ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': [[KidHero Gohan]] and [[ActionGirl Videl]] got a lot of this especially by Chi-Chi, Krilln. Hell even Goku brings it up. Gohan often yelling the classic "she's not my Girlfriend" to shut them up, even at the victory party everyone their wants them to dance together and they do so shyly.
* The ''Mazinger'' series:
%%** ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Kouji and Sayaka. Everyone but Kouji can see it.
** ''Anime/GreatMazinger'': Tetsuya and Jun. Unfortunately, Tetsuya was even more oblivious. How oblivious? He thought Jun would replace him with Kouji in spite of: Jun barely knew Kouji; and she had spend the whole series trying Tetsuya noticed her.
** ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'': Duke averted this trope with Hikaru [[spoiler:and with Rubina.]] However, Kouji was absolutely oblivious to the feelings of Maria. Of course, he was the only one.
* ''Anime/{{K}}'' manages to combine this with FoeRomanticSubtext - Saruhiko defected from HOMRA to Scepter 4, and Misaki hates him as a traitor... but the rest of HOMRA are mostly cool with his decision, since they realize it was just what was best for him. Kusanagi in particular always responds to Misaki's rants about hating Saruhiko with a "Sure, keep telling yourself that," tone. [[spoiler: Misaki finally comes around at the end of season 2]].
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** Alphonse Elric gets some mileage out of teasing Ed and Winry about their ''obvious'' feelings for each other. Riza also makes Ed have a rather spectacular SpitTake on poor Black Hayate (resulting in a CrowningMomentOfFunny) when she addresses his love for Winry. As a note to just ''how'' obvious Ed and Winry are, not only can Al and Riza see it, but [[PluckyComicRelief Hughes]] assumes they are in a relationship already. Heck, [[PresidentEvil Bradley]] and ''[[SociopathicSoldier Kimblee]]'' seem to have figured it out, which should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about these two. When [[spoiler:the literal personification of Wrath]] and the genocidal MadBomber have picked up on it, it's pretty obvious that yes, ''everyone'' can see it.
** Meanwhile, the cast also ships [[ColonelBadass Roy]][=/=][[BodyguardCrush Riza]]. This is an odd case, however. It isn't quite so much that they're in denial about how they feel for each other, but rather that they're not allowing themselves to act on it for other reasons. (He's her direct superior in the military, and there's an indication that an anti-fraternization law is largely what's keeping them apart.) Everyone can still see it, though, and that unfortunately includes Bradley and his cohorts. In this series, NoLovesIntersect, but ''everyone'' can see ''all'' of them. [[ShipperOnDeck And ships them]].
* Touma Tokigawa and Nana Mizuha of ''Manga/CaheDetectiveClub''. The former is a SupremeChef who is also ObliviousToLove (until he shows signs of liking the latter), while the latter is a BigEater who can also cook. Their friends in two different schools are [[ShipperOnDeck Shippers On Deck]] for them, except Touma's sister Emina, who has a case of brother complex.
* This characterizes Cosmo's and Tails' romance in ''Anime/SonicX''--at least in the 4Kids dub. The Japanese version had them be more explicit about it.
* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' has WholesomeCrossdresser Haruhi and her obvious feelings for the Host Club's King, Tamaki, and vice versa. The entire club, being in on the crossdresser thing, takes note of the impending coupledom before the characters in question even begin to entertain the idea. Of course, it doesn't help that Tamaki used to see himself as Haruhi's second father, and have we mentioned the whole crossdressing thing yet?
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'':
** [[SchoolgirlLesbians Konoka and Setsuna]]. Everyone who sees them together immediately assumes the obvious. Including ''[[ChasteHero Negi]]'', who's the epitome of ObliviousToLove. Konoka is probably aware of this, but Setsuna takes a ''lot'' longer to catch on, finally getting it when [[spoiler:they finally make a pactio and the kiss lasts ''forever''...]]
** Nagi and Arika. Every single [[BadassCrew Ala Rubra]] member can see it.
* Kyohei and Sunako in ''Manga/TheWallflower''. By the manga's second half, the main plot question has gone from "Will Sunako ever become a lady?" to "Will these two dense idiots ''ever'' realize they're in love with each other?" Even their housemates are getting tired of it.
* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'':
** Hinagiku is clueless as to how everyone around her can see her crush. But then, this is a series where pretty much the entire cast is suffering from an ObliviousToLove epidemic.
** Hayate's crush on Hinagiku is even worse for being clear to everyone. He even tries to tell others that she couldn't possibly like him. There's also the incident in the elevator in the student council clock tower where Hayate completely failed to hide it from a [[PaperThinDisguise barely-disguised]] Maria.
** Miki, Maria, Nishizawa, and possibly even [[spoiler:Athena]] make it clear that they know about Hayate and Hinagiku's mutual crush. Even Nagi seems to know about it and has expressed both suspicion and jealousy at various points in the manga. Oddly enough, she let Hinagiku [[spoiler:go on a dinner date with Hayate to show his appreciation for all her help]] in Greece but refuses when Ayumu tries to do the same. Most likely, she guessed that nothing would happen. [[spoiler: She was waaaayy off]].
* Played with in ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke,'' when everyone jokes about Sawako and Kazehaya liking each other, only to have unknowingly spoken the truth.
* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'':
** Throughout one of the Drama [=CDs=], it's rather explicit that the nation-tans see America and England (both real heavy on the {{Tsundere}} traits) in this way. In the last track, everyone else stranded on the island hears an exchange between England and America at night.
-->'''Lithuania:''' R-Russia! Everyone was pretending not to hear anything!\\
'''England:''' W-what? Everyone's awake, after all?\\
'''France:''' That's because you were having a lover's quarrel here.\\
'''England:''' Don't say it was a lover's quarrel!\\
'''Japan:''' Well, it's not like we were peeping and such...
** Even the ''dubbers'' can see it: one episode of the dub has France asking America and England if they're done "releasing sexual tensions".
* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket,'' (manga only) everyone discusses how obviously in love [[spoiler:Tohru and Kyo]] are, but they just CannotSpitItOut.
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
** In spite of the ending, Shinji and Asuka's relationship played into this. Touji even comments they bicker like an old married couple. It's deconstructed over the course of the series. Despite the fact that they kiss, visit each other when one of them is in hospital, she flirts with him and sleeps beside him when no one's around and he is attracted to her and [[spoiler: [[ADateWithRosiePalms jacks off]] [[NeverLiveItDown over her]] [[DudeShesLikeInAComa comatose body]]]], they never see it. That's what leads to that ending: [[spoiler: the world effectively ends, at least for humanity as we know it [[Main/AdamAndEvePlot aside from the aforementioned pair]]]], [[ForWantOfANail and it could very possibly have been averted if these two had realised]] [[ThePowerOfLove what they could have done for each other]].
** Asuka calls Hikari on her BelligerentSexualTension with Toji, saying that everyone can see it except for the "Three Stooges" (Toji, Kensuke and Shinji).
* Elie and Haru in ''Manga/RaveMaster'', to such an extent that the BigBad--who spends, at best, a total of one hour in contact with them over the course of the series--feels the need to tease them about how slowly they've been taking their relationship.
* The Yamamoto sisters in ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' have Guiness World Record levels of [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness to love]]. This despite the fact that, in the older Nanako's case, even ''kindergartners'' realize Tsuchida is in love with her. Making it even funnier, Nanako is blatantly aware that Hanamaru-sensei has feelings for Mayumi, while Mayumi is likewise aware of Tsuchida's feelings for Nanako, and one episode ends with both of them expressing pity for the guys having to deal with such a clueless girl.
* In ''Manga/KazeHikaru'', most people are under the impression that Okita and Sei are a couple. Since Sei is [[SweetPollyOliver disguised as a boy]], this also means they're MistakenForGay.
* Mikado and Anri from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. It's noted in the LightNovels that one of the only reasons people don't ask Anri out is that they just kind of ''assume'' she and Mikado are already dating.
* Deconstructed and later reconstructed in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Before Guts leaves the Band of the Hawk, Judeau pushes the would-be relationship between Guts and Casca as a way to persuade him to stay (or rather, to get him to take her with him), [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy saying that they would be good together]]. However, Guts pulls the "JustFriends" routine, because he believes that Casca only has eyes for Griffith and that he was no competition for him. He couldn't have been more wrong, and only realizes this ''after'' he returns to the Hawks a year later when everything turned to shit [[spoiler:but luckily he and Casca get to share some joys in their new found relationship upon his return… [[FromBadToWorse before shit turns into deeper shit]]]].
* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', everyone can see that Mikoto is completely and utterly smitten with Touma. Even [[SchoolgirlLesbians Kuroko]] can see it, [[ClingyJealousGirl much to her chagrin]]. Even ''her clones'' can see it, especially #10032 (aka Misaka Imouto) who happens to feel the same way and openly declares that she'll "take a different route than the original" before glomping onto his arm. Touma ([[WildMassGuessing probably]]) [[ObliviousToLove hasn't noticed]], but that's justified because [[spoiler:he has amnesia but refuses to tell anyone]].
* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', about half the cast (primarily Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Dorothy) recognizes the really close bond that Heero and Relena share, which has a ''really'' good chance to become mutual love, and [[ShipperOnDeck do their best to help things along]]. Unlike most instances of the trope, the two ''do'' get along quite well normally, but Relena (whose {{Image Song}}s outright say she's in love) [[CanNotSpitItOut won't press the issue]] because she doesn't want to force his hand and/or destroy the closeness they already have, and is just happy knowing that he's looking out for her. Not to mention, the girl is already very devoted to her cause for peace [[spoiler: as ''specially'' after being the Queen of the World ''and'' becoming Vice-Minister]]. Heero's own feelings are left more in the dark, but the common assumption is that he doesn't feel worthy of her, or possibly that his unusual upbringing means he doesn't quite understand his feelings for her. In any way, he ''does'' care for her and ''will'' help her when she needs it.
* Pretty much everyone in ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' has caught on to the fact that [[{{Tsundere}} Karina]] has a giant, poorly-disguised crush on Kotetsu--except for [[ObliviousToLove Kotetsu himself]].
* A good part of the ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'' cast has at least commented once on Ringo [[{{Yandere}} Oginome]] and Shouma Takakura's odd relationship. Shoma's siblings, Ringo's mother, Ringo's crush as well as said crush's own girlfriend, [[spoiler: Kanba's ClingyJealousGirl…]]
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': When it comes to [[OfficialCouple Ranma and Akane]], everybody but {{the rival}}s and [[UnwantedHarem Ranma's harem]] can see it. The entire school thinks the two of them will get together, because they argue so much, and they enjoy teasing them both about it.
-->'''Boy:''' Ooo, a lovers' quarrel!\\
'''Girl:''' Practically married already.
* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': It takes people about five seconds of watching the pair interact to realize Asuna and Kirito are going to end up together. This can be heart-rending when the ones realizing this are girls who have [[ChickMagnet fallen for Kirito]].
* Revy and Rock in ''Manga/BlackLagoon''. It's so obvious that Eda constantly brings it up with Revy, and Bao flat out asks Rock if the two of them had a fight just because he happened to not be with her when Bao saw him.
* Ryuuji and Taiga in ''LightNovel/ToraDora'' spend a significant chunk of the series explaining to others how they're ''not'' going out and ''don't'' have feelings for each other. Yet somehow, nobody is surprised when the two of them show up in the middle of the night, [[spoiler:running away to elope]].
* ''Manga/{{Horimiya}}'''s main characters, Hori and Miyamura, both deny feelings for each other, although Hori's reasons are more that of a typical {{Tsundere}} and Miyamura's are more that of feeling unworthy. Of course, everyone else has a hard time believing it, even Hori's DoggedNiceGuy Ishikawa, though it does practically send him into a HeroicBSOD every time.
* Played with in ''Manga/BokuraNoKiseki''. Everyone living in the castle in Zerestria could tell that [[RebelliousPrincess Veronica]] and [[HeroicBastard Glen]] were a couple. But when Veronica's ArrangedMarriage is decided on and Glen's fellow squires all gather to comfort him, in surprise he tells them [[spoiler: that there was absolutely nothing between him and Veronica beyond a close friendship]]. The protagonist Harusumi, who is Veronica's reincarnation, confirms this. [[spoiler:However, a deeper look at their feelings shows it's likely they were merely both ObliviousToLove, thus playing this trope straight]].
* Averted for the most part in ''Manga/SakuraTrick'', as everyone comments on how Yuu and Haruka are a little too clingy for friends, but no one seems to notice the two are in a ''SchoolgirlLesbian'' relationship despite them being very bad at hiding it.
* From the series ''Manga/PlaceToPlace'', Tsumiki is ''very'' obviously crushing on Io and the only one who doesn't seem to notice it is Io himself. All the other characters ship them wholeheartedly and their reaction to learning they were compatible from a magazine's compatibility test basically amounted to "Well, duh!"
* ''[[Anime/{{Patlabor}} Patlabor: The Mobile Police]]'':
** It doesn't take long for Noa to form a close bond with her partner, Asuma. Nor does it take long for their squadmates to notice [[ShipTease they have chemistry with each other]]. Even [[IdolSinger Hana]] realized it, during her brief stint with [=SVU2=], which causes her to forego [[TwoGirlRomanticFriendship her own crush on Noa]], so she could be together with Asmua. Predictably, Noa and Asuma had no idea what gave her that impression and [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny it]]. Though the last 2-3 episodes of ''The New Files'' [[MaybeEverAfter imply otherwise]].
** ''[[Film/TheNextGenerationPatlabor The Next Generation]]'' is set 15 years after the OVA continuity's conclusion and serves as its DistantFinale, where it's confirmed that Noa and Asuma [[TheyDo eventually became an item.]]
* ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'': Similar to the ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}'' example, it's no secret to anyone at Bokutou Precinct that Miyuki and Nakajima are crazy about each other, except [[CannotSpitItOut they're both too shy to say anything]]. Natusmi and the others have even gone as far as to set them up on dates to try to get things going between them, [[StatusQuoIsGod but to no avail]][[note]]The closest they've ever gotten was when Nakajima nearly proposed to Miyuki during season 2 ("Fast & Furious"), 'til he chickened out at the last second. Miyuki understood what he was trying to say and tells him that [[IWillWaitForYou she'll wait for him]][[/note]].
* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'', during a flashback of Alma Torran, everyone (except Ithnan) could see that Sheba nursed a PrecociousCrush on Solomon for five years. And after [[CoolBigSis Arba]] gave her blessing to be Solomon's wife, she had the difficult task of making Solomon fall for her, seeing how he treated her like a child. [[OfficialCouple He eventually reciprocated her feelings]].
* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': It takes them awhile to get there, but by chapter 28, it's clear that Takashi and the others can see how things are shaping up between [[{{Megane}} Hirano]] and [[NerdsAreSexy Saya.]] When Saya admits she'd been watching him [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-58604-20/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-28.html so she could learn to fight like him]], it leads to [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-58604-22/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-28.html a tender moment]] where they exchange guns, which [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-58604-23/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-28.html cause Alice to wave a pair of flags]] while the others smile knowingly.
* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'':
** Amongst all the ShipTease, Shikamaru and Temari were fairly obvious from the get-go, with Naruto even assuming they were on a date after he first came back to the village after the TimeSkip. [[spoiler:They eventually end up married as adults.]]
** Many in the [[HomeBase Hidden Leaf Village]] assumed Naruto was dating Sakura, though Sakura would angrily yell at them otherwise. When Sakura wouldn't give up her love for the dangerous [[EmoTeen Sasuke]] and everyone was sympathetic to Naruto even [[BadassTeracher Kakashi]].
** After the Invasion of Pain arc, where Hinata finally confessed her love to Naruto, ''everyone'' knows she loves him in ''that'' way… [[ObliviousToLove except for Naruto]], thanks to his emotionally-stunted childhood. [[spoiler:Come ''The Last'', Naruto turns out to be no better than Hinata at hiding his growing feelings, and much of the movie has many of the characters giving knowing looks to the (eventual) couple]].
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** Bisca and Alzack, minor characters who are the only ones unaware of the fact that their feelings are mutual.
** Juvia's crush on Gray, at first. Gray might be paying attention more often these days.
** Gajeel and Levy.
** Natsu and Lucy as well. Even little Asuka thinks they are dating.
* ''Manga/MakenKi'': It's a well-known fact at Tenbi Academy that Haruko is in love with Takeru. Mainly because [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/37/10/ she's so bad]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/37/11/ at hiding it]] that it's become [[RunningGag a running]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/12/21/ gag.]] The only one she's fooling, [[BadLiar is herself.]]
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Ash and Misty. Despite [[LovableSexManiac Brock]] doing his best to point out they clearly have feeling for each other. Every big argument Ash has with Misty is akin to an old married couple according to people who see them at it. It was only when Ash left for Hoenn that Misty realized [[BelatedLoveEpiphany why she feels so sad]]. When they meet again Misty is happy to see Ash but doesn't tell him why.
** Serena in the XY series finds out, much to her embarrassment, that her feelings for Ash are very obvious to just about everyone (the boys apparently don't see it, including Ash [[ChasteHero himself]]) they meet in their adventure. So far, Alexa, Miette, Bonnie, Shauna and Nini have noticed it; Miette even pretends to be a romantic rival to help push Serena into confessing, while Shauna rolled her eyes when she sees that Serena wants to keep Ash in the dark about it.
* SamuraiFlamenco: Goto and Masayoshi are [[HoYay pretty obvious.]] Mari calls them out on it several times.
* In ''Manga/KimiToBoku'' the fact that Masaki has a crush on Shun is noticeable to everyone ''[[ObliviousToLove but]]'' the object of her affections.
* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': Numerous characters like Ferid, Krul, and Shinoa comment on [[HoYay Yuu and Mika's]] attachment to each other.
* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'': Nanoha and Vivio were a non-romantic example. ''Everyone'' knew from day one that Nanoha was the perfect person to adopt Vivio despite her various protests.
----
* ''Manga/SevenSeeds'': Semimaru hides his feelings for Natsu, but Hibari, Chimaki, Arashi, Hotaru and even Matsuri by now have done slants at how obviously Semimaru likes Natsu. [[ObliviousToLove Natsu doesn't notice herself]].
* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':
%%** Heiji and Kazuha. "It's so obvious it can be painful."
** And, to a lesser extent, Shinichi and Ran. Except for the fact that she blatantly tells "Conan" about her crush in the first episode. Still SelectiveObliviousness on his part though.
* Otani and Risa in ''Manga/LovelyComplex'' are shipped mercilessly by their friends well before they get into a relationship.
* Franchise/DragonBall:
** ''Manga/DragonBall'': [[ThirdEye Tien]] and [[SplitPersonality Launch]] get a bit of this, Launch is openly attracted to Tien while he's either oblivious or just shy. Even pervy pig Oolong makes note of it causing Tien and Launch to blush. Launch is unfortunately absent for most of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', but the reason Tien moves around so much is because it's hard to keep up the fighting-monk demeanor when there's beautiful woman chasing you around. Apparently Tien worked it out with Launch... Somehow.
** ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': [[KidHero Gohan]] and [[ActionGirl Videl]] got a lot of this especially by Chi-Chi, Krilln. Hell even Goku brings it up. Gohan often yelling the classic "she's not my Girlfriend" to shut them up, even at the victory party everyone their wants them to dance together and they do so shyly.
* The ''Mazinger'' series:
%%** ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Kouji and Sayaka. Everyone but Kouji can see it.
** ''Anime/GreatMazinger'': Tetsuya and Jun. Unfortunately, Tetsuya was even more oblivious. How oblivious? He thought Jun would replace him with Kouji in spite of: Jun barely knew Kouji; and she had spend the whole series trying Tetsuya noticed her.
** ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'': Duke averted this trope with Hikaru [[spoiler:and with Rubina.]] However, Kouji was absolutely oblivious to the feelings of Maria. Of course, he was the only one.
* ''Anime/{{K}}'' manages to combine this with FoeRomanticSubtext - Saruhiko defected from HOMRA to Scepter 4, and Misaki hates him as a traitor... but the rest of HOMRA are mostly cool with his decision, since they realize it was just what was best for him. Kusanagi in particular always responds to Misaki's rants about hating Saruhiko with a "Sure, keep telling yourself that," tone. [[spoiler: Misaki finally comes around at the end of season 2]].
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** Alphonse Elric gets some mileage out of teasing Ed and Winry about their ''obvious'' feelings for each other. Riza also makes Ed have a rather spectacular SpitTake on poor Black Hayate (resulting in a CrowningMomentOfFunny) when she addresses his love for Winry. As a note to just ''how'' obvious Ed and Winry are, not only can Al and Riza see it, but [[PluckyComicRelief Hughes]] assumes they are in a relationship already. Heck, [[PresidentEvil Bradley]] and ''[[SociopathicSoldier Kimblee]]'' seem to have figured it out, which should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about these two. When [[spoiler:the literal personification of Wrath]] and the genocidal MadBomber have picked up on it, it's pretty obvious that yes, ''everyone'' can see it.
** Meanwhile, the cast also ships [[ColonelBadass Roy]][=/=][[BodyguardCrush Riza]]. This is an odd case, however. It isn't quite so much that they're in denial about how they feel for each other, but rather that they're not allowing themselves to act on it for other reasons. (He's her direct superior in the military, and there's an indication that an anti-fraternization law is largely what's keeping them apart.) Everyone can still see it, though, and that unfortunately includes Bradley and his cohorts. In this series, NoLovesIntersect, but ''everyone'' can see ''all'' of them. [[ShipperOnDeck And ships them]].
* Touma Tokigawa and Nana Mizuha of ''Manga/CaheDetectiveClub''. The former is a SupremeChef who is also ObliviousToLove (until he shows signs of liking the latter), while the latter is a BigEater who can also cook. Their friends in two different schools are [[ShipperOnDeck Shippers On Deck]] for them, except Touma's sister Emina, who has a case of brother complex.
* This characterizes Cosmo's and Tails' romance in ''Anime/SonicX''--at least in the 4Kids dub. The Japanese version had them be more explicit about it.
* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' has WholesomeCrossdresser Haruhi and her obvious feelings for the Host Club's King, Tamaki, and vice versa. The entire club, being in on the crossdresser thing, takes note of the impending coupledom before the characters in question even begin to entertain the idea. Of course, it doesn't help that Tamaki used to see himself as Haruhi's second father, and have we mentioned the whole crossdressing thing yet?
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'':
** [[SchoolgirlLesbians Konoka and Setsuna]]. Everyone who sees them together immediately assumes the obvious. Including ''[[ChasteHero Negi]]'', who's the epitome of ObliviousToLove. Konoka is probably aware of this, but Setsuna takes a ''lot'' longer to catch on, finally getting it when [[spoiler:they finally make a pactio and the kiss lasts ''forever''...]]
** Nagi and Arika. Every single [[BadassCrew Ala Rubra]] member can see it.
* Kyohei and Sunako in ''Manga/TheWallflower''. By the manga's second half, the main plot question has gone from "Will Sunako ever become a lady?" to "Will these two dense idiots ''ever'' realize they're in love with each other?" Even their housemates are getting tired of it.
* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'':
** Hinagiku is clueless as to how everyone around her can see her crush. But then, this is a series where pretty much the entire cast is suffering from an ObliviousToLove epidemic.
** Hayate's crush on Hinagiku is even worse for being clear to everyone. He even tries to tell others that she couldn't possibly like him. There's also the incident in the elevator in the student council clock tower where Hayate completely failed to hide it from a [[PaperThinDisguise barely-disguised]] Maria.
** Miki, Maria, Nishizawa, and possibly even [[spoiler:Athena]] make it clear that they know about Hayate and Hinagiku's mutual crush. Even Nagi seems to know about it and has expressed both suspicion and jealousy at various points in the manga. Oddly enough, she let Hinagiku [[spoiler:go on a dinner date with Hayate to show his appreciation for all her help]] in Greece but refuses when Ayumu tries to do the same. Most likely, she guessed that nothing would happen. [[spoiler: She was waaaayy off]].
* Played with in ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke,'' when everyone jokes about Sawako and Kazehaya liking each other, only to have unknowingly spoken the truth.
* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'':
** Throughout one of the Drama [=CDs=], it's rather explicit that the nation-tans see America and England (both real heavy on the {{Tsundere}} traits) in this way. In the last track, everyone else stranded on the island hears an exchange between England and America at night.
-->'''Lithuania:''' R-Russia! Everyone was pretending not to hear anything!\\
'''England:''' W-what? Everyone's awake, after all?\\
'''France:''' That's because you were having a lover's quarrel here.\\
'''England:''' Don't say it was a lover's quarrel!\\
'''Japan:''' Well, it's not like we were peeping and such...
** Even the ''dubbers'' can see it: one episode of the dub has France asking America and England if they're done "releasing sexual tensions".
* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket,'' (manga only) everyone discusses how obviously in love [[spoiler:Tohru and Kyo]] are, but they just CannotSpitItOut.
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
** In spite of the ending, Shinji and Asuka's relationship played into this. Touji even comments they bicker like an old married couple. It's deconstructed over the course of the series. Despite the fact that they kiss, visit each other when one of them is in hospital, she flirts with him and sleeps beside him when no one's around and he is attracted to her and [[spoiler: [[ADateWithRosiePalms jacks off]] [[NeverLiveItDown over her]] [[DudeShesLikeInAComa comatose body]]]], they never see it. That's what leads to that ending: [[spoiler: the world effectively ends, at least for humanity as we know it [[Main/AdamAndEvePlot aside from the aforementioned pair]]]], [[ForWantOfANail and it could very possibly have been averted if these two had realised]] [[ThePowerOfLove what they could have done for each other]].
** Asuka calls Hikari on her BelligerentSexualTension with Toji, saying that everyone can see it except for the "Three Stooges" (Toji, Kensuke and Shinji).
* Elie and Haru in ''Manga/RaveMaster'', to such an extent that the BigBad--who spends, at best, a total of one hour in contact with them over the course of the series--feels the need to tease them about how slowly they've been taking their relationship.
* The Yamamoto sisters in ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' have Guiness World Record levels of [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness to love]]. This despite the fact that, in the older Nanako's case, even ''kindergartners'' realize Tsuchida is in love with her. Making it even funnier, Nanako is blatantly aware that Hanamaru-sensei has feelings for Mayumi, while Mayumi is likewise aware of Tsuchida's feelings for Nanako, and one episode ends with both of them expressing pity for the guys having to deal with such a clueless girl.
* In ''Manga/KazeHikaru'', most people are under the impression that Okita and Sei are a couple. Since Sei is [[SweetPollyOliver disguised as a boy]], this also means they're MistakenForGay.
* Mikado and Anri from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. It's noted in the LightNovels that one of the only reasons people don't ask Anri out is that they just kind of ''assume'' she and Mikado are already dating.
* Deconstructed and later reconstructed in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Before Guts leaves the Band of the Hawk, Judeau pushes the would-be relationship between Guts and Casca as a way to persuade him to stay (or rather, to get him to take her with him), [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy saying that they would be good together]]. However, Guts pulls the "JustFriends" routine, because he believes that Casca only has eyes for Griffith and that he was no competition for him. He couldn't have been more wrong, and only realizes this ''after'' he returns to the Hawks a year later when everything turned to shit [[spoiler:but luckily he and Casca get to share some joys in their new found relationship upon his return… [[FromBadToWorse before shit turns into deeper shit]]]].
* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', everyone can see that Mikoto is completely and utterly smitten with Touma. Even [[SchoolgirlLesbians Kuroko]] can see it, [[ClingyJealousGirl much to her chagrin]]. Even ''her clones'' can see it, especially #10032 (aka Misaka Imouto) who happens to feel the same way and openly declares that she'll "take a different route than the original" before glomping onto his arm. Touma ([[WildMassGuessing probably]]) [[ObliviousToLove hasn't noticed]], but that's justified because [[spoiler:he has amnesia but refuses to tell anyone]].
* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', about half the cast (primarily Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Dorothy) recognizes the really close bond that Heero and Relena share, which has a ''really'' good chance to become mutual love, and [[ShipperOnDeck do their best to help things along]]. Unlike most instances of the trope, the two ''do'' get along quite well normally, but Relena (whose {{Image Song}}s outright say she's in love) [[CanNotSpitItOut won't press the issue]] because she doesn't want to force his hand and/or destroy the closeness they already have, and is just happy knowing that he's looking out for her. Not to mention, the girl is already very devoted to her cause for peace [[spoiler: as ''specially'' after being the Queen of the World ''and'' becoming Vice-Minister]]. Heero's own feelings are left more in the dark, but the common assumption is that he doesn't feel worthy of her, or possibly that his unusual upbringing means he doesn't quite understand his feelings for her. In any way, he ''does'' care for her and ''will'' help her when she needs it.
* Pretty much everyone in ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' has caught on to the fact that [[{{Tsundere}} Karina]] has a giant, poorly-disguised crush on Kotetsu--except for [[ObliviousToLove Kotetsu himself]].
* A good part of the ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'' cast has at least commented once on Ringo [[{{Yandere}} Oginome]] and Shouma Takakura's odd relationship. Shoma's siblings, Ringo's mother, Ringo's crush as well as said crush's own girlfriend, [[spoiler: Kanba's ClingyJealousGirl…]]
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': When it comes to [[OfficialCouple Ranma and Akane]], everybody but {{the rival}}s and [[UnwantedHarem Ranma's harem]] can see it. The entire school thinks the two of them will get together, because they argue so much, and they enjoy teasing them both about it.
-->'''Boy:''' Ooo, a lovers' quarrel!\\
'''Girl:''' Practically married already.
* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': It takes people about five seconds of watching the pair interact to realize Asuna and Kirito are going to end up together. This can be heart-rending when the ones realizing this are girls who have [[ChickMagnet fallen for Kirito]].
* Revy and Rock in ''Manga/BlackLagoon''. It's so obvious that Eda constantly brings it up with Revy, and Bao flat out asks Rock if the two of them had a fight just because he happened to not be with her when Bao saw him.
* Ryuuji and Taiga in ''LightNovel/ToraDora'' spend a significant chunk of the series explaining to others how they're ''not'' going out and ''don't'' have feelings for each other. Yet somehow, nobody is surprised when the two of them show up in the middle of the night, [[spoiler:running away to elope]].
* ''Manga/{{Horimiya}}'''s main characters, Hori and Miyamura, both deny feelings for each other, although Hori's reasons are more that of a typical {{Tsundere}} and Miyamura's are more that of feeling unworthy. Of course, everyone else has a hard time believing it, even Hori's DoggedNiceGuy Ishikawa, though it does practically send him into a HeroicBSOD every time.
* Played with in ''Manga/BokuraNoKiseki''. Everyone living in the castle in Zerestria could tell that [[RebelliousPrincess Veronica]] and [[HeroicBastard Glen]] were a couple. But when Veronica's ArrangedMarriage is decided on and Glen's fellow squires all gather to comfort him, in surprise he tells them [[spoiler: that there was absolutely nothing between him and Veronica beyond a close friendship]]. The protagonist Harusumi, who is Veronica's reincarnation, confirms this. [[spoiler:However, a deeper look at their feelings shows it's likely they were merely both ObliviousToLove, thus playing this trope straight]].
* Averted for the most part in ''Manga/SakuraTrick'', as everyone comments on how Yuu and Haruka are a little too clingy for friends, but no one seems to notice the two are in a ''SchoolgirlLesbian'' relationship despite them being very bad at hiding it.
* From the series ''Manga/PlaceToPlace'', Tsumiki is ''very'' obviously crushing on Io and the only one who doesn't seem to notice it is Io himself. All the other characters ship them wholeheartedly and their reaction to learning they were compatible from a magazine's compatibility test basically amounted to "Well, duh!"
* ''[[Anime/{{Patlabor}} Patlabor: The Mobile Police]]'':
** It doesn't take long for Noa to form a close bond with her partner, Asuma. Nor does it take long for their squadmates to notice [[ShipTease they have chemistry with each other]]. Even [[IdolSinger Hana]] realized it, during her brief stint with [=SVU2=], which causes her to forego [[TwoGirlRomanticFriendship her own crush on Noa]], so she could be together with Asmua. Predictably, Noa and Asuma had no idea what gave her that impression and [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny it]]. Though the last 2-3 episodes of ''The New Files'' [[MaybeEverAfter imply otherwise]].
** ''[[Film/TheNextGenerationPatlabor The Next Generation]]'' is set 15 years after the OVA continuity's conclusion and serves as its DistantFinale, where it's confirmed that Noa and Asuma [[TheyDo eventually became an item.]]
* ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'': Similar to the ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}'' example, it's no secret to anyone at Bokutou Precinct that Miyuki and Nakajima are crazy about each other, except [[CannotSpitItOut they're both too shy to say anything]]. Natusmi and the others have even gone as far as to set them up on dates to try to get things going between them, [[StatusQuoIsGod but to no avail]][[note]]The closest they've ever gotten was when Nakajima nearly proposed to Miyuki during season 2 ("Fast & Furious"), 'til he chickened out at the last second. Miyuki understood what he was trying to say and tells him that [[IWillWaitForYou she'll wait for him]][[/note]].
* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'', during a flashback of Alma Torran, everyone (except Ithnan) could see that Sheba nursed a PrecociousCrush on Solomon for five years. And after [[CoolBigSis Arba]] gave her blessing to be Solomon's wife, she had the difficult task of making Solomon fall for her, seeing how he treated her like a child. [[OfficialCouple He eventually reciprocated her feelings]].
* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': It takes them awhile to get there, but by chapter 28, it's clear that Takashi and the others can see how things are shaping up between [[{{Megane}} Hirano]] and [[NerdsAreSexy Saya.]] When Saya admits she'd been watching him [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-58604-20/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-28.html so she could learn to fight like him]], it leads to [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-58604-22/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-28.html a tender moment]] where they exchange guns, which [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-58604-23/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-28.html cause Alice to wave a pair of flags]] while the others smile knowingly.
* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'':
** Amongst all the ShipTease, Shikamaru and Temari were fairly obvious from the get-go, with Naruto even assuming they were on a date after he first came back to the village after the TimeSkip. [[spoiler:They eventually end up married as adults.]]
** Many in the [[HomeBase Hidden Leaf Village]] assumed Naruto was dating Sakura, though Sakura would angrily yell at them otherwise. When Sakura wouldn't give up her love for the dangerous [[EmoTeen Sasuke]] and everyone was sympathetic to Naruto even [[BadassTeracher Kakashi]].
** After the Invasion of Pain arc, where Hinata finally confessed her love to Naruto, ''everyone'' knows she loves him in ''that'' way… [[ObliviousToLove except for Naruto]], thanks to his emotionally-stunted childhood. [[spoiler:Come ''The Last'', Naruto turns out to be no better than Hinata at hiding his growing feelings, and much of the movie has many of the characters giving knowing looks to the (eventual) couple]].
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** Bisca and Alzack, minor characters who are the only ones unaware of the fact that their feelings are mutual.
** Juvia's crush on Gray, at first. Gray might be paying attention more often these days.
** Gajeel and Levy.
** Natsu and Lucy as well. Even little Asuka thinks they are dating.
* ''Manga/MakenKi'': It's a well-known fact at Tenbi Academy that Haruko is in love with Takeru. Mainly because [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/37/10/ she's so bad]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/37/11/ at hiding it]] that it's become [[RunningGag a running]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/12/21/ gag.]] The only one she's fooling, [[BadLiar is herself.]]
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Ash and Misty. Despite [[LovableSexManiac Brock]] doing his best to point out they clearly have feeling for each other. Every big argument Ash has with Misty is akin to an old married couple according to people who see them at it. It was only when Ash left for Hoenn that Misty realized [[BelatedLoveEpiphany why she feels so sad]]. When they meet again Misty is happy to see Ash but doesn't tell him why.
** Serena in the XY series finds out, much to her embarrassment, that her feelings for Ash are very obvious to just about everyone (the boys apparently don't see it, including Ash [[ChasteHero himself]]) they meet in their adventure. So far, Alexa, Miette, Bonnie, Shauna and Nini have noticed it; Miette even pretends to be a romantic rival to help push Serena into confessing, while Shauna rolled her eyes when she sees that Serena wants to keep Ash in the dark about it.
* SamuraiFlamenco: Goto and Masayoshi are [[HoYay pretty obvious.]] Mari calls them out on it several times.
* In ''Manga/KimiToBoku'' the fact that Masaki has a crush on Shun is noticeable to everyone ''[[ObliviousToLove but]]'' the object of her affections.
* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': Numerous characters like Ferid, Krul, and Shinoa comment on [[HoYay Yuu and Mika's]] attachment to each other.
* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'': Nanoha and Vivio were a non-romantic example. ''Everyone'' knew from day one that Nanoha was the perfect person to adopt Vivio despite her various protests.
