I have a theory that may surprise you, ya know series with MC that are oblivious and get overly nervous around girls... wait, of course. You think to yourself "Good Lord man! How can he be this dumb he must doing this on purpose", so what if told you that MC's you've disliked for being shy and oblivious are actually more intelligent and devious then you think and are really just playing dumb.

Reasons:

1. MC is really aware of the multiple girls feelings for him, but acts like he doesn't because he cares for them all and doesn't know who he should choose nor want's to hurt them, so he finds any chances to dodge any huge development between them until if or when he can come to a decision.

2. The MC is actually a huge playboy and on purpose toys with girl feelings by making them fall for him and plays hard-to-get by acting oblivious and covers it with a shy and innocent act like "It was accident, I didn't mean to see you touch your breasts", sure you didn't.

3. By playing the complete idiot act, the MC allows foes to underestimate him, which gives him the opening to show what he's really capable, making them believe they're ahead while in truth he has something up his sleeve. He keeps this up 24/7 to stay in character and/or encase he's being spied on, thus feeding false info.

Am I blowing your mind-holes yet, of course these might not apply to every MC ever but it really gets you thinking of it as a possibility, you might not look at a series the same way again.

But hey, that's just a theory... an ANIME THEORY!!!! and end scene.
