Line 23:
** Subverted with Gloria. After the group finds a [[Door Step Baby]], she talks them out of turning it in to the police by talking about how horrible orphanages are. Then {{spoiler|it turns out it's her sister's baby, and Gloria left him there to get out of babysitting.}}
* So is Sagara Sousuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. Similarly, Kaname apparently has her own apartment and little connection to her family in the anime, though they were referenced more directly in the novels.
* Watanuki from ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'': Orphaned at a young but unspecified age and has been living alone ever since.
** {{spoiler|Well, maybe not. It was recently revealed that [[Cardcaptor Sakura|his parents]] are still alive somewhere. Just not in his universe. He doesn't remember them due to a [[Deal with the Devil]] or three, and so just assumes them to be dead. His "[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|brother]]" does remember them, but ran away from home at the age of seven, and we'll stop there because that’s where the parental ''abandonment'' ends, and something [[Oedipus Rex|else]] begins.}}
* In ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'', ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'''s sister series, nobody has a present set of parents. ''Nobody''. Perhaps the most egregious case would be Sakura, {{spoiler|who had both a mother and father way before the beginning of the series, but had them erased from existence when Syaoran's desperate wish to save her life screwed over the space-time continuum}}.
* In ''[[Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun]]'', three six-year-olds were living alone under the same roof, with occasional older sibling support. One can only hope that they had financial support, at the very least. Also interesting is the fact that the protagonist's parents were alive and well, just very distant.
* In ''[[Noir (anime)|Noir]],'' Mireille's parents were murdered when she was a small child. And when Kirika awoke in Tokyo for the first time, she was alone in her apartment, with neither parents nor Soldats agents pretending to be parents.
