Parking the examples (there should not be any examples on this page):

Examples:

open/close all folders

Anime & Manga

Some of the nation-tans from Axis Powers Hetalia. Notably, Austria, America and his constantly ignored brother, Canada.
- Don't forget Sweden, Estonia, and Australia!
- And occasionally Germany.
Yu Gi Oh GX: Syrus Truesdale/Sho Marufuji, big time. Also, Professor Banner.
Yuuno in later seasons of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.
Mamoru from Sailor Moon wore reading glasses in the manga and he was adorable in them.
Negi from Mahou Sensei Negima, though when he takes the age pills to become a teenager, he loses his glasses. Though She Is All Grown Up and I Didn't Mean To Turn You On kicks in.
- Also Hot Teacher Takahata-sensei. His nickname is "Death megane/glasses" among the boys of the school district. As he usually solves the fights between them by beating everyone up.
- Konako's father Eishun.
Soubi, Yayoi, Kio and Ritsu from Loveless.
All the Shinigami from Kuroshitsuji, as well as Claude, and Sebastian when he is in Tutor mode.
Yasuyoshi "Aeon Clock" Sano from Air Gear
Chojuro from Naruto.
Hajime from Doubt. It helps that he is a Badass Bookworm and a med student. He's actually not a med student but a police officer.
Eriol from Card Captor Sakura. As well as Sakura's father, Yukito and Clow.
Watanuki from XXX Holic.
Minor character Autor from Princess Tutu, leaning into Stoic Spectacles.
Subaru Okiya from Detective Conan.
Maximillian Jenius from Macross yet?
Barnaby from Tiger And Bunny is this, and also something of a Stoic Spectacles type.
Dr. Franken Stein in Soul Eater. Though he's very prone to Scary Shiny Glasses.
- Also Ox Ford and Kilik. Along with Harvar and his Cool Shades.
Oujou quarterback and team captain Takami in Eyeshield21.
Jin from Samurai Champloo.
Anti-social otaku Keima from The World God Only Knows, who is known on the Internet as "The Capturing God" where there is no Dating Sim game he hasn't beaten.
We have Maes Huges in Fullmetal Alchemist
- From the same author, we have Yugo Hachiken, the protagonist of Silver Spoon.
Cho Hakkai from Saiyuki, of the Stoic Spectacles type. Even the Guys Want Him for this (at least I do.)
Ariga Makoto from Wandering Son. His friends aggressive older sister even calls him "megane" several times, as an insult though. Fumiya Ninomiya also wears classes.
Oku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo has the gentle and honest Kagura, the male lead, wearing glasses.
The character Dexter from Hamtaro is named "Megane" in Japan. He's actually an aversion though - as he's a hamster it simply looks like he has glasses (in actuality it's just his fur).

Comic Books

Clark Kent.

Film

Tombo from Kikis Delivery Service.
Seymour Krelborn from the musical Little Shop of Horrors.
Megamind has Bernard, who seems closer to the stoic example, and Megamind as Bernard who is a sweeter example.
The Movie version of Spider-Man has Peter this before getting his spider powers that allows him to see without his glasses. He wears those again in the sequel when he becomes normal. It's averted in the third movie, though.

Literature

The titular Harry Potter.

Live Action TV

In the live-action Japanese drama of Nodame Cantabile, there was an instance where the already hot Chiaki◊ wore glasses in a disguise. His sexiness promptly increased in dramatic, overloading doses.
Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.
There was quite a few times where Gil Grissom wore glasses.
Adorkable and sexy Spencer Reid of Criminal Minds occasionally wore these. Team Dad Jason Gideon may invoke a more Bad Ass Grandpa and Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!.
Artie from Glee. somewhat.
Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG 1.
Hiro from Heroes sports adorable spectacles. When we meet his Badass future self (and future him scares him), the glasses are gone.
- Same actor, different show: Max Bergman has glasses on in all his appearances on Hawaii Five O.

Video Games

Citan Uzuki and Hammer the Supplier from Xenogears.
Kristoph Gavin in Ace Attorney.

Web Comics

Sven Bianchi from Questionable Content, who usually wears fairly small, round glasses and has one of the most active sex lives in the comic. (Or he did, anyway.) He doesn't quite fit under any of the subtropes about character types who wear glasses, since he's not enough of a jerk to be a Spectacled Sadist, not stoic enough for them to be Stoic Spectacles, and not remotely shy enough to be a male Meganekko.

Western Animation

Tom Chan on The Amazing Chan And The Chan Clan.
Cyclops/Scott Summers from X Men Evolution wore special sunglasses to keep his Eye Beams in check, but his youthful and handsome design in the series seems to have been made with the megane archetype in mind.
Megamind in his alter-ego form as Bernard. Definitely, the glasses add to the sweet & vulnerable look.

Calling someone a pedant is an automatic Insult Backfire. Real pedants will be flattered.

Should we mention Scary Shiny Glasses in the introduction?

Um, guys, does that mean that all those male stories in TroperTales.Meganekko must go here?

I just added examples to the Megane trope. It needs some more.

OldManHoOh It's super effective. Since: Jul, 2010

Why is there a link to Meganekko if that trope is categorised under Always Female?

There's a few tropes (The Cutie, She Cleans Up Nicely) labeled as Always Female where there's accepted male examples. Unless they're hardcore must-be-female tropes, I guess it's more of a guideline than a rule.

I cut up one dozen new men and you will die somewhat, again and again.

Why do we even have this page? This isn't a trope.

It's a Fanspeak page.

Fair enough. Sorry, I thought it was just a page on glasses in anime in general.
