Socially Awkward in Anime
There are many shy anime characters, but I wanted to recommend animes
that have social anxiety as a theme. I'm sure a few of you can relate. By some strange coincidence all of these animes
share the school genre tag. Either way they are decent animes deserving
your consideration. Not every anime listed is about someone with an extreme social anxiety disorder, some interact fine with others but some misunderstanding or other keeps people distant.
1. Kimi ni Todoke
The show revolves around Sawako. She is awkward and dense with a tendency to make wierd faces when greeting people. This anime may deal with making friends but there is plenty of romance. Romance, comedy, drama, school, and slice of life.
2. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukanai
Kodaka has trouble making friends at school when a misunderstanding gets him labeled as a violent delinquent. He teams up with another socially awkward student to form the Neighbors Club, an after school club intent on practicing social skills. Comedy, harem, school, and slice of life.
3. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Haru is known to become violent during confrontations. This makes it hard for him to make friends. He attaches himself to Shizuku who only cares about grades and doesn't want friends. There is a lot of comedy but the heart of this anime is if these two can be in a romantic relationship. Romance, comedy, school, and slice of life.
4. Watashi ga Motenai wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!
Tomoko Kuroki is starting high school. Now that she has completed 100 dating sims she believes she has the tools to become popular. She is wrong of course. She is an introverted, perverted, awkward otaku. This can be difficult to watch as she fails at all her attempts to get noticed, and things usually go from bad to worse. Even when she finds comfort in a minuscule success it seems pathetic and delusional. She is the perfect example of Social Anxiety Disorder. Comedy, school, and slice of life.

2. Do you have advice for someone who is?
3. Name an anime character you think is socially awkward.
