History ObliviousToLove / AnimeAndManga

** Naruto never actually picked up on [[ShrinkingViolet Hinata]] having a massive crush on him until she told him in Chapter 437 [[EveryoneCanSeeIt despite everyone else seeing it]]; rather, he thought she was just being Hinata. When he actually found out after she confessed, he was very surprised. [[{{Deconstructed|Trope}} Deconstructed as we delve into the how and why of this.]] Naruto wasn't raised by a loving family and was something of a pariah, scorned by nearly the entire village. He does love people and does his best to show it, but not having grown up in a stable and loving environment means that he can't tell familial love or even the love for ramen from [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove romantic love]]. Subverted several times over in ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie''. First, [[spoiler:he finally realizes that [[OneTrueLove Hinata]] loves him in ''that'' way and also realizes his own love for her. {{Iron|y}}ically, it's ''Hinata'' that's oblivious to ''his'' very obvious feelings until he spits it out... before she [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim "rejects"]] him and goes with [[BigBad Toneri]] (in order to [[BigSisterInstinct save her younger sister Hanabi]]). [[NotGoodWithRejection Naruto]] [[HeroicBSOD does not]] [[AngstComa take this well at all]]. Then, when he makes his HeroicVow to save Hinata from Toneri and properly return her love for him, he explicitly says, "You always loved me '''for the way I am'''" (or "You've loved '''someone like me''' forever and ever," depending on the translation), which confirms that [[InsecureLoveInterest he's insecure around her]] because [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe he never thought someone like her]] would genuinely [[WartsAndAll love him for him]]. Combining this with Kiba's comment about Naruto "acting tough" in front of Hinata in Chapter 611--which Naruto ''did not'' deny nor poke fun at--and Sakura's knowing smile when she said, "So you finally ''get it''", when he kept calling out Hinata's name in a delirious state for three days after she "rejected" him in the movie, it's heavily implied that Naruto ''had'' been in love with Hinata for a while, but his deep-seated insecurities more than likely played a factor in his obliviousness. Things finally worked out at the end of the movie, where Hinata wholeheartedly accepts Naruto's [[GrowOldWithMe proposal]], the two enter a relationship, get HappilyMarried, and have two children]].

** Kakashi's old teammate, Rin, didn't realize Obito was in love with her. Kakashi told her after he died ([[spoiler:or at least they thought he was dead]]). Rin didn't take it well, especially considering that like Sakura's unrequited crush on Sasuke, she had unrequited feelings for Kakashi.
** Shikamaru doesn't notice Shiho's massive crush on him at all. He also doesn't [[EveryoneCanSeeIt acknowledge there is anything between him and Temari.]] In the [[LightNovel/NarutoHiden light novels]], even after [[spoiler: Shikamaru asks Temari out]] he ''still'' manages to be completely oblivious about several things, including [[LoveMakesYouDumb thinking Temari is blushing because she's got a fever.]]

* In ''Manga/ASilentVoice'', Ishida is consistently oblivious to the female attraction towards him. When he was in grade six, it was due to his immaturity that he didn't realize Ueno was crushing on him. And in the present day, both Ueno and [[spoiler: Shouko]] have feelings towards him. It's understandable why Ishida is ignorant of Ueno's continued crush on him due to the fact he can't stand her. But for [[spoiler: Shouko]], it's likely from [[spoiler: his own self-loathing]] that prevents him from realizing it.

* Shun from ''Manga/KimiToBoku'' is completely oblivious of Masaki's crush towards him. When his friends mention that she's "lovesick" he wonders if she's ill from over-studying,

* The main character in ''LightNovel/TokyoRavens'' (like ''Manga/NurarihyonNoMago'' but with a good omyoji family vs. evil spirits) is ''[[TriangRelations doubly oblivious]]''. He doesn't know why his best female friend is so concerned about him and his future and when his seemingly cold and snobby cousin visits him with a LuminescentBlush he asks if she has a fever. When both these girls get angry that a DarkMagicalGirl has been flirting with him he gets very confused. At least his friend tearfully made a love confession while his cousin, furious that he said the DMG was cute in the middle of warning her to leave for her own safety, ''[[WhatAnIdiot decides to stay at the one place the DMG said she was going to attack]]''.
