Line 31:
* Lloyd Asplund from ''[[Code Geass]]'' is a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] who is wholly dedicated to the construction, maintenance, and development of the [[Humongous Mecha|Z-01 Lancelot]] to the point where he doesn't even acknowledge his fiancée-via-[[Arranged Marriage]] as a romantic interest. He's not a bad guy, just socially clueless and monomaniacal.
** Then again, perhaps he's just [[Asexuality|asexual]] (and/or aromantic). He certainly doesn't seem to be interested in love, and his carefree attitude suggests that it isn't by lack of time. He probably simply doesn't care.
* Oh lord, Sagara Sousuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. He is completely and totally socially inept because of living his whole life as a soldier. During one time, Kaname and Tessa hold a little bingo and concert party for soldiers to unwind, and Sousuke is shown very uncomfortable, showing disapproval of them relaxing on the job. It's only in ''The Second Raid'' that he even begins to consider the possibility of a life and a future with Kaname outside of the job - and that's only after [[Cool Big Sis|Mao]] asks him about his plans for his future and then criticizes him sharply when his only answer is "follow orders."
* Fate of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', whose job as [[Space Police|Enforcer]] requires her to travel around space most of the time. In the [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot|Megami Sound Stages]], she laments the fact that she can't spend as much time as she wants with her adopted children Erio and Caro, and in ''[[Spin Offspring|ViVid]]'', she was away so often that she was the ''last'' person to hear about her other adopted daughter Vivio's [[Older Alter Ego|Adult Form]] (Nanoha kinda forgot to mention that little detail to her).
** The problem persists in the 2nd Mother's Day one-shot, when Vivio teases Fate about how often she is absent from her life (prompting Fate to angst that Vivio will no longer consider her one of her mothers), such as when she canceled a parental visit day for school due to [[Space Police|her Enforcer duties]] but still notes that she's her mother and dear to her.
