* Edward Elric from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' never shows the slightest interest in any girl (at least in the manga) but his mechanic, Winry {{spoiler|the girl he eventually marries}}. May be a genetic trait, as there's no evidence that his father, Hohenheim, ever loved anyone but Trisha {{spoiler|despite living for 400 years.}}

* Boa Hancock from ''[[One Piece]]'' despises all men and is indifferent to most women; however, when it comes to Luffy, she has made it explicitly clear that no matter what the circumstances, even if he was the son of demons, she'd still love him.

* Kaede's life revolves around Rin in ''[[Shuffle]]'', largely as a result of the desire to atone for her mistreatment of him when she blamed him for causing her mother to come home early and die in an accident (when, in fact, her father had called her mother when she had fallen ill), though the ending of the anime implies that {{spoiler|she [[Last-Minute Hookup|hooks up with Sia]]}}.

* An even more specific variant of this trope appears in ''[[Kamen no Maid Guy]]'', where the Leader of the Naeka's breasts fanclub only has eyes for her... or at least her chest. Strangely, Naeka finds this almost romantic. After he's put through [[Easy Amnesia]] (for the second time that episode), he reverts to normal, and his eyes are no longer on Naeka only.

* Yuki, who is, for all intents, a pre-op M-t-F [[Transsexualism]], in ''[[No Bra]]'' doesn't seem to have any sexual interest in girls and has flat out said she doesn't like boys in that way. In her own words, "It's not that I like boys. It's only because the only person I love is a boy." She's in love with her childhood friend, Masato, and seems to be physically attracted to him.

* Souichi from ''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]]'' is most likely "Morinaga-sexual," despite being utterly in denial about it; he states on more than one occasion that he puts up with Morinaga's sexual advances because he's ''Morinaga,'' and that not even blackmail will make him tolerate having sex with anyone else (and yet he manages to [[Selective Obliviousness|overlook the painfully obvious implications]] of this...). Admittedly, Souichi is a rabid homophobe, which would make him heterosexual by default and his relationship with Morinaga more of an [[If It's You It's Okay]] situation...if ''any'' sign was shown of him being interested in anyone else, male or female, much less having any friend other than Morinaga.

* In ''[[Zetsuai 1989]]'', Nanjo Koji is Izumi-sexual, having [[Love At First Sight|fallen in love with him at first sight]] and Izumi being the only person he ever felt emotion for. When they coincidentally meet again years later, Koji [[Stalker with a Crush|all but stalks]] Izumi and even declares to another prospective love interest that even if said love interest was Izumi's twin, he would still love only Izumi.

* In ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', Momoka is clearly Fuyuki-sexual; when she thinks that he's been turned into a girl (it's actually [[Hot Mom|his mother]] aged down by Kululu, long story), she's completely okay with it. Tamama could also be said to be Keroro-sexual.

* ''[[Durarara]]'''s Shinra is a very vocal Celty-sexual, claiming that, were she not to exist, he would probably be asexual. Celty, for her part, is worried that he might be [[Headless Horseman|Dullahan]]-[[Nightmare Fetishist|sexual]], and dreads another one showing up and stealing him away.

* Usui Takumi in ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]'' seems thus far to be terminally Misaki-sexual. Not only is he notorious for turning girls down at the beginning of the series, once Misaki piques his interest he doesn't seem to have more than a passing interest in other people ''at all'' except so far as how they relate to Misaki.

And even though they're both immortal and have plenty of time, there's still something to be said for the fact that Firo waited ''fifty years'' for her to agree to marriage, and even though they're now living together hasn't tried anything.
