It's not just in anime that we have this. . . i mean this is a usual literary tactic/cliche. The normal boy is supposedly there for the reader to relate and envision himself (same vice versa) in that position. I personally think that such technique should be abandoned already (well of course unless the "normal boy/girl" archetype fits the story) since it really degrades the essence of a main character.
