For the series that have aired to date, Kobato from Haganai and Kuroneko from Oreimo will fall under the "evil eye category".

I don't understand why developing a taste for black coffee or Western pop would fall under chuunibyou. Is it because the sudden development is prompted by a desire to be different or cool? If that is the case, how do you differentiate between people who want to look/be cool and people who have a case of chuunibyou? People do all kinds of silly things to appear cool, like smoking cigarettes, wearing black sunglasses, or carrying expensive branded bags.
[Edit]
I just recall how people admit they'll do Ocelot's hand gesture at the checkout counter or during class after Metal Gear Solid 3 was released. Is that considered a case of chunnibyou too?
