{{examples}}
== Romantic ==
=== [[Anime]] &and [[Manga]] ===
* ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]'' (pictured above) features this in episode three.
* In the second season of ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', Konoe Fumina does this whenever a situation arises to separate her from [[The Protagonist|Yuji]]. This bothers [[Tsundere|Shana]] and [[Shrinking Violet|Kazumi]] quite a bit. {{spoiler|Not actually a romantic example, because Konoe is actually [[The Mole]].}}
Line 26:
* Two examples in the same episode in the second season of ''[[White Album]]'' done to the same guy.
* In ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' (episode 12), complete with [[Love Bubbles]] and an [[Anguished Declaration of Love]].
** [[Hilarity Ensues]] when he refuses her advances in a deliberately insensitive way (resulting in a [[Megaton Punch|slap that releases a mushroom cloud]]) and the narrator [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s that "comedy anime protagonists never get dumped with dignity".
* Male version. In the ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' side manga ''Blind Target'' (whose story is written by series scenario/scriptwriter Akemi Omode) this happens. Relena tells Heero that though she knows he's a strong person, she wishes he'd let her worry for him more and turns to leave. Cue Heero grabbing her sleeve and pulling her in for what is implied to be {{spoiler|an offscreen kiss.}}
** In the original [[Radio Drama]], he starts to say something ("I...") before [[Sound Effect Bleep|the sound of a nearby jet engine drowns him out]].
Line 39:
* In ''[[Arakawa Under the Bridge]]'', Nino grabs Ric's sleeve {{spoiler|and then kisses him}} under pressure from Star and Ric's secretary.
* Done to a T in ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'', by {{spoiler|Misaki}} to {{spoiler|Sato}}, in front of a fountain starting.
* In the ''[[Suzuka]]'' anime, when Yamato reaches the point where he has had it with Suzuka putting down his efforts at track, and yells at her "Cut it out already! What is it that you don't like about me?!" (''Can't you just stop it!! Ever since earlier...What exactly do you feel resentful about me?!'' in the manga) [http://www.1000manga.com/Suzuka/64/12/\]{{Dead link}} then decides he doesn't care about her answer and turns to leave, she gets a surprised look on her face like she realizes she crossed the line and rushes after him, grabbing the back of his shirt as she apologizes [https://web.archive.org/web/20100705132828/http://www.1000manga.com/Suzuka/64/14/\]. Of course, Yamato just accepts her apology and tells her not to worry about it, and so leaves himself open to more of the same abuse.
* In the final episode of ''[[B Gata H Kei]]'', {{spoiler|Yamada tells Kosuda she wants to fuck him, and then tries to walk away in embarassment, but he grabs her arm.}}
* [[Ho Yay]] example found in ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]''. Yuki does this to Zess in episode 3/chapter 3.
Line 59:
* Occurs in chapter 17 of ''[[No. 6]]'' between [[Ho Yay|Nezumi and Shion]].
 
=== [[Live -Action TelevisionTV]] ===
* Happens in episode 6 of the [[Korean Drama]] ''[[Itazura na Kiss|Playful Kiss]]''.
 
=== Webcomic[[Web Comics]] ===
* In chapter 34 of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', Annie attempts [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=944 this on Jack]. Unfortunately for her, that [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo|ship had sailed]].
 
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* [[The Lancer|Evangelyne]] does a variation of this to [[The Big Guy|Sadlygrove]] in episode 25 of ''[[Wakfu]]'', right before they go off to battle. A variation since a), she did it with his [[Scarf of Asskicking]], and b), she nearly choked him while doing so.
 
== Non-Romantic ==
=== Anime &and Manga ===
* In ''[[Claymore]]'' a young {{spoiler|Clare}} does this to Teresa of the Faint Smile. Teresa isn't eager to return her friendliness however...
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'', after [[Worthy Opponent|Zest]] and [[Dark Magical Girl|Lutecia]] rescue [[Ridiculously Human Robot|Agito]]. Zest considers his duty fulfilled but Lutecia grabs him by the sleeve and after a long awkward pause, asks if they can take Agito with them, because basically, Agito is the same as herself {{spoiler|in that Lutecia lost her mother and Agito, her master}}.
* Early in the ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' manga, Chiyo-chan and Osaka are on the school roof and Osaka makes comments about how you could just jump off and fly away. Chiyo-chan, well aware of Osaka's [[Cloudcuckoolander]] tendencies, grabs Osaka's sleeve to stop her doing anything.
** In the next strip, everyone agrees that the higher up you are, the better lunch tastes. Osaka looks towards the top of the stairwell they came in through... and then realizes Chiyo-chan's grabbed her sleeve ''again''.
* The [[Shrinking Violet]] in ''[[Onani Master Kurosawa]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20090509075808/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/onani_master_kurosawa/v01/c010/18.html does this] to the protagonist.
* In ''[[Angel Beats!]]'' episode 5, Angel catches Otonashi by the shirt just as he's leaving an exam to find out what her name is. He ends up introducing himself and getting her name in return.
* While they are [[Love Interests]], this particular example is more that they're in mourning than anything else. In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Winry grabs Ed's hand as he's about to walk away after finding out that {{spoiler|Hughes is dead.}}
* In ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'' episode 4, Anna grabs Shizuru's wrist from her hospital bed to keep Shizuru from avoiding answering whether or not she intends to quit.
* Elsee to Keima in the first chapter of ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'', warning that not fulfilling his contract will mean he'll lose his head, courtesy of an [[Explosive Leash]].
* [[Gender FlippedFlip]]ped in ''[[Full Moon o Sagashite]]'', when Izumi grabs Mitsuki's dress when she tries to leave, thinking he needs space. Debatable whether this is romantic or not, since they are not [[Canon]] and have their own respective love interests.
* At the beginning of episode 5 of ''[[Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai!|Ore Imo]]'' - any more would constitute a spoiler.
* Sawako to Kurumi at the beginning of ''[[Kimi ni Todoke]]'' episode 11.
Line 85:
* ''[[Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru]]'' episode 10, Kon to Arashiyama (who was being petulant at the time).
* In the ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' manga, after Ayeka is kidnapped by Yakage, Sasami wants to join the rescue mission, pointing out that Ryoko's going even though she's wounded. Ryoko [[Cruel to Be Kind|slaps her]], causing Tenchi to step in... but before he can call Ryoko out, Sasami catches his sleeve, giving Ryoko enough time to defuse the situation without making it worse.
* Aya in ''[[Comic Party|Comic Party Revolution]]'' is so shy that this is how she usually gets anybody else's attention.
