Line 20:

** And of course, Boy also meets [[Horny Devils|Succubus]], [[Cute Witch|Witch (twice!)]], [[An Ice Person|and Snow Girl]]. And although Boy makes it clear that he's only interested in meeting Vampire, [[Unwanted Harem|they make it equally clear they don't care]].

* ''[[Karin]]'': a classic girl-meets-boy story where the girl is a cute, shy, vampire (actually, a rare type of what you might call a backwards vampire).

* ''Wirbelwind'': girl meets ordinary boy (initially), who then turns into undead, but it's all to the better because she's a [[Our Elves Are Better|Dark Elf]] and now they don't need to [[Wangst]] about [[Mayfly December Romance|their lifespans]] and incompatible alignments and just adventure together. And fuck, of course, because that's an ecchi adventure manga by the famous H-artist Makoto Fujisaki.

* ''[[Sankarea]]'': Boy obsessed with the undead meets girl, girl falls off cliff and dies, girl becomes zombie, zombie-girl becomes freeloader in boy's house.

* ''[[My Lovely Ghost Kana]]'': [[Unlucky Everydude|Boy]] meets [[Cute Ghost Girl]] haunting his new apartment. Boy drowns his sorrows. Boy has long conversation with ghost about life and death. Boy accidentally gropes ghost, somehow. Ghost is surprised, then excited at the implications of a living boy being able to touch her. Boy and ghost make sweet love, then begin a bizarre, surprisingly tender romance in the apartment where the girl [[Mood Whiplash|brutally killed herself many years ago]].

Line 35:

* In ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]'', {{spoiler|the Undertaker}} has a case of this. While {{spoiler|putting a bunch of [[Came Back Wrong|zombies]] on ship just to see what happens is bad enough, admitting that you think they're beautiful while ''holding one in your arms'' is just plain [[The Creepy Undertaker|creepy]].}}

* ''[[Hellsing]]'': [[Private Military Contractors|Grizzled mercenary man]] meets [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|vampire]] [[Cute Monster Girl|girl]].

* A [[Will They or Won't They|possible romantic, or possibly not romantic example]] kickstarts ''[[Bleach]]'': [[Perpetual Frowner|Frowning]] [[The Hero|teenage guy]] [[I See Dead People|who sees ghosts]] meets [[You Can See Me|understandably surprised]] [[Cute Ghost Girl|Shinigami]] [[Big Entrance|who comes in]] [[There Was a Door|through his window]]. [[Hilarity Ensues]], along with over 400 chapters.

Line 92:

* A possibility in one of the [[Multiple Endings|endings]] of ''[[Mana Khemia]]'', in which Vayne [[Walking the Earth|walks the earth]] with [[Cute Ghost Girl|Pamela]] as a travelling doctor.

* One minor sidequest in ''[[Skyrim]]'' has you searching for the journals of the necromancer Arondil. As you search the barrow he is currently squatting in, it's impossible to ignore the fact that it's populated entirely by female Draugr and ghosts. As you read his journals, it becomes clear that Arondil's interest in the female undead wasn't entirely scholarly. Apparently he finds the feel of ghostly ectoplasm arousing. Eventually you get to the end of the dungeon and find a double bed...with a female ghost "sleeping" in it.

* Probably the only reason the Konpaku family in ''[[Touhou]]'' can consist of [[Half Human Hybrid|half-human-half-ghosts]].

* ''[http://www.kongregate.com/games/krangGAMES/i-saw-her-standing-there I Saw Her Standing There]'' has this as its premise. You have to lure a zombie girl to a cage in each level, with each "act" introducing a new gameplay twist. All the while, there is narrative text describing the love between the main characters.
