* Oboro from ''[[Basilisk]]'' would just love to marry her fiancé Gennosuke and live [[Happily Ever After]]. However, they're both the heirs and leaders of warring Ninja clans...
** There's also [[Genki Girl|Genki Boy]] Yashamaru, who views the clan truce as his chance to get married to his beloved fiancée and fellow Iga Ninja [[Friend to All Living Things|Hotarubi]]. They both get {{spoiler|''bloodily'' killed off. [[Tear Jerker|Sniff]].}}

It's best illustrated [https://web.archive.org/web/20090214120955/http://www.onemanga.com/Historys_Strongest_Disciple_Kenichi/324/08/ here] as he sneaks into the cruise ship of a {{spoiler|worldwide criminal organization led by some of the most dangerous martial artists in the world, whose disciples want to kill Kenichi}} to prove their Badassitude.

* The main character of ''[[Nurarihyon no Mago]]'' starts this way, wanting to just live a normal life as a human despite being the heir to a huge clan of youkai and a quarter-youkai himself. But {{spoiler|it's averted early on in the first real story arc, when he begins to fully understand his youkai nature and learns of the impact his attitude is having on others firsthand. He decides that while he does want to live a peaceful life, protecting the people close to him and leading his clan is far more important.}}

[[Ten-Minute Retirement|It doesn't last very long]].
* ''[[A Magical Roommate]]'' provides quite a few interesting spins. Aylia wants to be a wizard, which is normal in her world, but is sent to college instead. Nicole wants to have a happy average life, but winds up getting quote "Three Wierdo Roommates!" unquote. {{spoiler|Alexis just wants to live as a human instead of having wings.}} Everybody else is apparently fine with being abnormal.
* ''[[Sinfest]]'': Jeses thinks about [
** Also, devil-girl Fuschia starts to lean towards this after falling in love with nerdy bookworm Criminy. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20131008105524/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3203 here] and [

She gets a bit better eventually, but she is still upset [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/too-late/ after learning her strength falls a bit outside the human norm.]
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', Vlad is abnormal even among shapeshifting chimera in that he was made using the DNA from so many different animals that he can't transform without risking death. This leads him to be jealous of his "brothers" ability to transform into human forms and blend in with society. {{spoiler|He gets his desire partially fulfilled when he is [[Gender Bender|transformed into a human woman]] by [[Transformation Ray|Ellen's beam]] becoming Vladia.}}
* In ''[[Strays]]'', when Meela objects that [[King Incognito|Holland should have told her he's a prince]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20110830130551/http://www.straysonline.com/comic/173.htm he asks whether she would have treated him differently, and when she agrees, says that's why].

Heather, being an [[Ascended Fangirl]] herself, doesn't help by being over-enthusiastic about Sahira being her sidekick. A talk with the more experienced heroes ends with them both coming to the conclusion {{spoiler|that just because Sahira has a superpower, it doesn't mean she can't live a normal life as a civilian.}}
