Hi! I was thinking, is there an anime where the main character stays lonely throughout the whole series? It's also fine if they have friends but they don't realise or if their friends are fake or whatever. They can get less lonely but just not in like, the second episode or something. I was just curious if there was such an anime. also, I prefer male main characters, but anything is fine really.

Hachiman
Can't think of any others

Could have said Kirito but that changed
"You are the result of 4 billion years of evolution. Act like it."
"Why don't you eat make up? Then you can be beautiful on the inside too."
"'Sick'? Call me 'twisted'. 'Sick' makes it sound like there's a cure."
"What's messed up isn't my thinking, what's messed up is this god damn world."
"The world isn't perfect, but its out there doing the best it can for us. That's what makes it so damn beautiful."

Yep came here to say watamote.

Welcome to the NHK is another great one, but he does at least start to make friends pretty early on. That one has a male mc.

Satou Tatsuhiro from Welcome to NHK.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Kurosagi: Kurosagi is very much alone and pushes people away

One Outs: I wouldn’t call (Toua) the ML lonely but he does act alone

Hikaru no Go: (Hikaru) isn’t exactly alone but he doesn’t have any close friends
with time he plays against other players but doesn’t really connect with anyone except for 1 or 2 in the very end.

Kino's Journey: except for the talking motorcycle (Hermes), (Kino) is traveling alone

Natsume Yuujinchou: (Natsume) is very lonely character because of his ability to see yokai that does change however, he makes friends and tries to open up to people though he keeps a distance to protect them.

My Roommate is a Cat: (Subaru) starts to be very alone but that changes over time
I kind of find him very interesting he orders normal things you buy in the grocery store online just to avoid meeting other people

Rei Kiriyama from 3-gatsu. He has a few friends and a "family" that he can turn to sure, but the majority of the time he kinda lives in his own world away from others

Watamote definitely. The anime doesn't cover the part where she gets friends, so it counts.

No longer human was the best I’ve ever watched but yeah, he definitely was the forever alone type. Even though he had friends, girlfriends, a wife, he was alone. The only person who knew him was that one friend and that lady he tried to die with.

Weird no one has mentioned Classroom of the Elite, the Male MC is one hell of a loner. Plus really good show.

Saiki K also has the male MC as a loner.

+3 Gatsu
+NHK
+Watamote
