** Takes a turn for the tragic when it's discovered that {{spoiler|Izumi had not one, but TWO boyfriends die on her.}} No wonder she's so loopy. |

* Yuichiro Tajima in ''[[Ookiku Furikabutte]]'' is a baseball prodigy with expert peripheral vision and incredible accuracy when batting. When off field, he's borderline hyperactive, has the tendency to loudly discuss his masturbation habits and at least once almost stripped naked in public just to work on his tan. |

* Kotomi from ''[[Clannad]]'' is very awkward, lacking all but the basic social skills, despite (or perhaps ''because of'') the fact that she is a [[Teen Genius|genius]]. She also tends to space out and come up with non sequitur responses, which she often combines with a deeply seated fear of bullies. Nevertheless Tomoya drafts her for the drama club, where her sweet and thoughtful demeanor makes her very popular with its members -- as long as she [[Dreadful Musician|refrains from playing the violin]]. |

** Perhaps [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that Kotomi was {{spoiler|traumatized by her parents' death, and she promised to do better and follow in their footsteps. She said that she'd read many books and that she'd become smart like them}}. With such motivation for Kotomi, it's no surprise that she lacks social skills when she's busy with what she promised her parents that she'd do. Various flashbacks in the anime show that she was already like this {{spoiler|(kids avoided her because of her intelligence and Tomoya was her first and only friend)}}. The {{spoiler|death of her parents (and the fact that Tomoya avoided her afterwards)}} definitely made things worse, though. |

** Fuuko is also a total space-cadet. At one point she tells Tomoya she's warmed up to him, explaining that she likes him more than sea slugs (but not as much as starfish). Tomoya doesn't understand the rankings<ref>Fuuko quite likes sea slugs, so this is actually a compliment in her mind</ref>. She tops this in the ''[[After Story]]'', where her behavior is very bizarre indeed, especially in response to Ushio's cuteness. She also tends to space trance out when thinking of cute things for long periods of time, only to snap out of it to finish whatever sentence she had started. She's in total denial about it, though. |
