The most common protagonist of a show targeted at teenagers. It's usually discovered they are anything but ordinary—theyordinary; they're reincarnated princesses, or alien princes, or the only ones who can pilot the [[Humongous Mecha]]. Or they've been training in an [[Charles Atlas Superpower|obscure martial art]] since they could walk. Or [[I Am Who?|they're God]]. Or they've got ''something'' that makes the [[Dude Magnet|opposite sex flock to them]], and possibly the [[Even the Girls Want Her|odd member of their own]], whether they [[Unwanted Harem|want the attention or not.]] ([[Parental Abandonment]] optional)
 
Then again, there are the true average joes who have something unusual happen to them, and then nothing in their lives is ever the same again.
Line 84:
* Kaede of ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]]'' was one of these. Until a [[Highly-Visible Ninja]] attempted to sneak into her room to steal her panties.
* Kira of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' averts this trope—he's actually a genetically-enhanced superhuman who [[I Just Want to Be Normal|wants to be a normal high school/college student.]]
* Tsukune from ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' is a normal high school student, at a distinctly [[Extranormal Institute|not normal]] high school, with [[Cute Monster Girl|not normal]] high school friends. He eventually becomes not normal himself.
* Rito from ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]'' wishes he was still an unremarkable Ordinary High School Student instead of the center of a complicated [[Love Triangle]] with at least half a dozen points on it, including three or possibly four [[Magical Girlfriend|Alien Princesses]] -- {{spoiler|Lala, Run, Lala's little sister Momo, and maybe Momo's twin Nana}}.
* Toki from ''[[Amatsuki]]'' wouldn't even have ''become'' the hero if his school hadn't sent him to the museum for [[Book Dumb|failing history class]]. And just when he finally gets a fresh new start in life after being [[Time Travel|dragged into the past]] against his will, he's given [[I Am Who?|phenomenal cosmic powers]] that [[Blessed with Suck|ruin his life]]! His friend and fellow victim Kon could also qualify, however there is evidence to suggest he's [[Obfuscating Stupidity|not all he seems]].
