What characters look well-adjusted on the surface but have issues behind closed doors? This is an actually understatement, they’re crazy. Examples for me include Light Yagami (Death Note) and Shou Tucker (Fullmetal Alchemist)

The best example of this I can think of is Ashikaga Takauji from The Elusive Samurai. Dude is completely insane, and IIRC is canonically possessed by a demon. He himself doesn’t even realize this, nor do most of his men. Apart from his brother, who realizes something is up, he just seems like a really skilled and charismatic military leader to them.
Most of the characters from Golden Kamuy are insane on the surface and also insane behind closed doors, but a few of them manage to put on normal faces when it suits them. The taxidermist comes to mind.
