Best Tsundere Anime Characters : Our Top 60

Best Tsundere Anime Characters : Our Top 60

We love all Tsundere its endearing characters by a character so here is our Best Tsundere Anime Characters But first A tsundere, a stereotypical anime boy or girl, is initially hostile and cold towards all who try to approach her. She becomes more friendly and warm over time. Tsundere is derived from the words ‘tsun-tsun’, which means turn away in anger’, and ‘dere die’ which literally means ‘lovey dovey’. Tsundere’s characters can seem very superficial and violent at first, which I find downright boring. This is probably why these passive-aggressive princesses were introduced to anime.

Only after you get annoyed by their cute and explosive tempers, can you see their soft side. This will change the direction of anime. Many of these characters have been introduced to anime shows over the years, particularly in the shoujo style. While they act the same way, their punishment styles are different. Here’s a list of the greatest Tsundere characters ever:

Top Tsundere Anime Characters

Best Tsundere Anime Characters is a ranking based on popularity and my opinion so it may not have some of your favorite characters or even their place in the ranking is not what you expect

60. Minatsu Shiina

Character design is a big deal in any medium. But it’s extra awesome when you can sense the tsundere vibe with a single look.Is Minatsu an attractive woman? Definitely. The student council vice-president is smart and sporty — and her tomboyish characteristic is just icing on the cake.While the “tsun” part is more pronounced here than “dere”, no one can deny that she’s a traditional tsundere.Also, I just love how she’ll always stand up to anyone thinking of harming her little sister. The series itself isn’t anything special. But Minatsu doing her thing in this Studio Deen harem comedy is a nice way to start off the list.

59. Michiru Kinushima

Michiru Kinushima

Speaking of CGDCT, Doga Kobo has been the go-to studio for adorable slice-of-life shows in recent years. Yet this doesn’t mean the studio always goes for purely cute shows. In 2015, it produced the sci-fi drama Plastic Memories. No one really talks about it these days. But the shows introduced us to the likes of Isla and the tsundere Michiru Kinushima. Love, especially the romantic kind, is a primary aspect of the tsundere archetype. The caring Michiru was infatuated with Tsukasa Mizugaki, but I admire how she never became bitter and toxic when he chose Isla instead Best Tsundere Anime Characters

58. Misato Tachibana

Misato Tachibana

Like many of you, I absolutely love Nichijou. I think it’s a masterpiece — a legendary entry to the KyoAni treasure chest. Yes, I can talk all day about Yuuko and her coffee-buying anxieties. Or Mio Naganohara’s love of yaoi. But the series is simply brimming with many other wonderful characters. You can’t mistake Misato Tachibana with any other character in Nichijou, especially because of one thing: Her use of deadly weapons. Whether it’s a Gatling gun, bazooka, grenade, revolver, or cannon, Misato is always ready to unleash hell whenever she interacts with the goat-riding Koujirou Sasahara. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

57. Lafiel Abriel

Lafiel Abriel

After all, it’s been over two decades since the Sunrise series premiered. Crest of the Stars only had 13 episodes. But that was more than enough to inscribe the blue-haired MC in my mind. This particular tsundere isn’t all about being cute and mean. Lafiel Abriel excels in diplomacy, gunfights, and leading other people. She’s memorable for sure. Lafiel appreciated how Jinto Linn didn’t see her as this intimidating, authoritative figure coming from a powerful family, which helped foster their friendship early on. Yet they’ve been through so many difficult situations together. And I’m sure we can’t all agree whether Lafiel thinks of him as her dearest friend, or something more.Best Tsundere Anime Characters

56. Chris Yukine

Chris Yukine

Admittedly, Chris Yukine’s character design is a major factor in her inclusion here. Her long hair and style are downright alluring — and her tsundere expressions are some of my favorites. It’s also fitting that she’s a tsundere. Chris Yukine was one of the bad guys at the very start before she changed her stance in Season 1. And as time went by, we got to see her more trusting side. She still gets annoyed quite easily, but she’s also no longer that fearful of being open to her peers. Also, her detailed backstory gives fans a better understanding of why she behaves the way she does.

55. Veldora Tempest

Veldora Tempest

I already included a half-angel entity here, so why not add a ferocious dragon as well? Also yes, this is proof that tsunderes aren’t all girls. In the case of Veldora Tempest, here’s a feisty dude who happens to be the fourth True Dragon — a being that can live forever. But when he’s in his human form, he’s just like another boisterous lad. Veldora is also kinda adorable with how he thinks of Rimuru, doing everything he can to protect him and his so-called sacred texts, which are just manga.

54. Maria

Maria

It still amazes me to this day that Production IG took on Maria the Virgin Witch, a series which had a witch using whatever she had to offer to bring peace in the human world. The series never became a top contender during its season. But I do love the concept and character design. Sure, Maria has blue eyes and blonde hair like many other attractive anime women. But her style is distinct. Also, where else can you witness a tsundere willing to use a succubus and magic to bring world peace? Some may see the show as blasphemous. But since when did a relationship between two people named Joseph and Maria become this entertaining again?

53. Madoka Ayukawa

Madoka Ayukawa

Kimagure Orange Road premiered back in 1987 — that’s more than 30 years ago. Was the anime community even well aware of tsunderes back then? Before tsundere became the popular term it is today, the world already had an anime character that fit the criteria. Madoka Ayukawa is objectively attractive. I know that doesn’t make sense, but just take a good look at her. She’s considered a delinquent and is relatively feared in school, but she’s also smart and sporty. Likewise, as a classic tsundere (with a fittingly vintage look) her cold demeanor eventually gives way to a charming personality. I’d honestly be shocked (angry, even) if Kyousuke didn’t develop feelings for someone like her. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

52. Eri Sawachika

 Eri Sawachika

Can you guess how many blonde tsunderes I have on my list? Is this another indicator I’ve stumbled onto?Anyway, I love School Rumble — and Eri Sawachika was surely a huge factor why I always wanted to go home early after school and watch TV. As you may have guessed, Eri comes from a rich family and does well in school. However her social status does harm her reputation. The boys love her, but most fail to see her beyond her physical beauty. On the other hand, many of her female peers in school dislike how she gets all the attention. But on the bright side, her relationship with Kenji Harima is cute, hilarious, and heartwarming.

51. Kyou Fujibayashi

Kyou Fujibayashi

I have no intention of making readers cry merely with a mention of Clannad. Instead I want to shine the light on Kyou Fujibayashi, the big sister everyone deserves. Kyou won’t ever bore you with her stories. And she always has something to talk about. Some series may show girl characters that are overly or unrealistically timid, but Kyou’s the opposite. Apart from being highly energetic, Kyou has no qualms about being vulgar either. Her tsundere attitude stops her from fully chasing Tomoya, but she’s an overall awesome person, ready to take on the world for her dear sister. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

50. Kaguya Shinomiya

I know, I know. Many of you will argue that Kaguya is simply Kaguya, that she’s not a tsundere. But let me argue this: Kaguya is still a tsundere, it’s just that she’s a well-written character that doesn’t have to stick to the roles of a typical tsundere (also the anime itself is already turning out to be one of the best in recent years).

She may not behave like a run-of-the-mill tsundere. But she still goes from being cold to approachable.Kaguya also fits the kuudere archetype (and perhaps other types), but she can be considered a tsundere too.

49. Syaoran Li

 Syaoran Li

Before Madhouse took on Hunter x Hunter or Parasyte, I already knew it was a special studio. After all, the guys there were responsible for Cardcaptor Sakura, a highly popular and beloved anime where I live. My friends loved the anime mech, especially the set of magical cards. Sakura and Tomoyo were awesome, but Syaoran Li (and the rest of the guys like Touya and Yukito) also contributed a lot.

There he was, starting out as Sakura’s rival before catching feelings for her.I love his development (he didn’t even call Sakura by her first name in the first season) and just how tsundere he is, being jealous but also afraid to confess early on. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

48. Kyon

I know what you’re thinking. How (and why) did I put Kyon here instead of Haruhi herself? Isn’t Haruhi a definitive tsundere icon from KyoAni? Haruhi is a tsundere, yes. But I appreciate Kyon more in this aspect. I’m verging on heavy spoiler territory just by placing him at the 10th spot, but he truly is remarkable.

He’s always been this seemingly disinterested and skeptical teenager. But he’s always been yearning for something more spectacular in life — and then comes Haruhi and the rest of the gang. You’ll have to catch the film The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya as well to fully understand why Kyon is a top-tier tsundere in my book. But it’s worth the watch.

47. Kaname Chidor

Let’s start with the first in this list, Kaname Chidori of Full Metal Panic. Kaname is a very outgoing person, having spent most of her life in Japan and the United States. Kaname is a certified tsundere because of her short-tempered traits. She will often hide her weaknesses by lashing out easily. This is evident when she meets Sousuke, a man she falls for and ends up with in awkward situations. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

46. Naru Narusegawa

Naru Narusegawa will make you feel like one of the most compassionate people you’ll ever meet. Naru is a member of the Hinata House. She is known not only for her intelligence and beauty but also for her willingness to help others in need. She is also open to helping people she doesn’t like!

You can see that she is a healthy girl from her description. But don’t let that get in the way of her good side. She’s the type who will beat you up if she thinks you’re a pervert. Her punches have even been given a nickname The Naru Punch.

45. Yui Kotegawa

The main character’s love interest in the series, To Love-Ru is the tsundere girl Kotegawa Yui. Yui is the head of their school’s discipline committee. She has to ensure that everything is in order and avoid bad behavior.

Yuki-Rito is a different story. She often gets indecently involved with him. She is a tsundere because she shouts at Rito often and, as time goes by, she gradually develops feelings for him that she doesn’t seem to acknowledge. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

44. Chiaki Shinichi

Chiaki Shinichi

Here’s the first male on the list, Chiaki Shinichi of Nodame Cantabile’s music anime. Chiaki does not resort to violence or aggression like other TsunderesChiaki has been considered a tsundere due to his insensitivity toward other people and his initial dislike for Nodame at first meeting. Their relationship improved when Chiaki began to feel more for Nodame.

43. Himeko Inaba

Himeko Inaba

Himeko Inaba, Vice President of the Student Cultural Society, is another tsundere who is known for her impulsiveness and short temper. Her remarkable data gathering skills are what make her a popular girl. She also knows a lot about her club members (Tbh, it’s kinda creepy, but okay). Inaba can be seen as arrogant towards other people. However, this is only because she lacks confidence. Inaba displays a strong appearance and uses harsh words to conceal her weaknesses. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

42. Sena Kashiwazaki

Sena Kashiwazaki

Sena Kaziwazaki, a girl who is arrogant by nature and her high self-esteem that she claims to be a queen and ridicules her male classmates. Despite Sena’s beauty being viewed by her male classmates as a queen, the male students seem to be happy to be treated as servants. However, she has no female friends.

But, Sena’s prideful nature is not easily embraced by Yozora. Sena then throws insults at him, before running away from him to embarrassment.

41. Ryougi Shiki

Ryougi Shiki

Ryougi Schiki is a character that isn’t well-known by all, but is very popular among TYPE MOON fans. She is actually one of the most well-written characters due to her incredible character development, from her first movie through her last.

Shiki, a member of Hollow Shrine is an agency that deals with supernatural occurrences within their city. Her Mystic Ears of Death Perception allows her to see the different ways she can kill her enemies, and where they end in death. Although Shiki was initially cold-hearted towards Mikiya at first, her cold disposition changed gradually as they became closer partners. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

40. Vegeta

Vegeta

Another male tsundere is coming up, and it’s Vegeta of Dragon Ball Z. Ok, so now we all know Vegeta is an arrogant anime character. It’s because he is the Saiyan prince and is known for being the strongest being in their universe.

Vegeta’s aloof personality isn’t revealed until he meets Bulma, who later becomes his wife. Bulma is Bulma’s story. He still displays his strong personality to avoid appearing weak or bashful, but deep down he cares deeply for her.

39. Shintaro Midorima

Shintaro Midorima

Shintaro Midorima was a member of Generation of Miracles. He now plays for Shutoku High’s basketball program. Although he is the level-headed type, he is still able act dominantly towards his teammates and others. He is a Tsundere because of his ability to help others, just like when he gave tips for Kagami how to defeat Akashi. Takao often mocks him about being one, but Midorima insists otherwise!

38. Tsumugi Aoba

Tsumugi Aoba

Tsumugi Aoba, one of the main characters from Kannagi, has a secret crush upon Mikuriya Jin, her childhood friend. She shares a roof with Jin, which causes Tsumugi to be jealous and considers her a rival. Tsumugi might harbor jealousy but still considers everyone her friends.

37. Komichi Aya

Komichi Aya is a shy, timid girl who is the protagonist of Kiniro Mozaic. A shy person, she can get caught up in awkward conversations and find it difficult to share what she wants to. Aya’s tsundere side is always evident when it comes her best friend, Yoko Tokumoto.

36. Aoba Tesukishima

Aoba Tukishima, a baseball player, is also a great pitcher. She is very boyish and has a short temper, just like all the tsunderes on this list. Although she may seem hostile, Wakaba is her older sister. As Aoba develops in character, her short temper gradually diminishes. She is now quite popular with the guys, but she doesn’t seem to be interested in any of them.

35. Nene Odagiri

Nene Odagiri, the Vice President of Student Council, is a witch! Nene Odagiri, the Vice President of Student Council, is known for being a bossgirl because of her position and can sometimes come across as arrogant. Nene can also be seen snapping at others due to her prideful attitude, proving she is a tsundereish personality. Her selfless side begins to emerge as the story progresses. This adds color to her character.

34. Kyo Shinma

Kyo Shinma

Kyo Sohma, a character from Fruits Basket is known for his cursed Cat spirit and socially awkward personality. Kyo is a tsundere because of his awkwardness in conversation. This makes it difficult for him to express himself and can get flustered easily. He is often short-tempered and can use bad language. However, Kyo still has certain traits that make him stand out from the rest. This is his passion for Martial Arts.

33. Nanami Aoyama

Nanami lives in Sakura Dormitory with his longtime crush, Sorata Kada. Nanami is afraid that their long-lasting relationship will end, even though they have known each other for many years.

Nanami is a Tsundere and can be very competitive when Mashiro (Sorata’s love interest) is involved. This is why she does everything she can to help Sorata. Although she doesn’t make it clear enough for Sorata, she does love him.

32. Kallen Stadtfeld

Kallen Stadtfeld

Kallen Stadtfeld, a.k.a. Kallen Kzuki is one of the Black Knights, and Zero’s most reliable subordinate. Kallen, a teenage girl who was born during the conflict between the Britannian & the Japanese has become a strong teenager and is ready for battle. As she learns more about Lelouch’s real goals, Kallen begins to have romantic feelings towards Lelouch, making her even more loyal.

31. Alto Saotome

 Alto Saotome

Alto Saotome, one of the Mihoshi Academy students, is also the main protagonist in Macross Frontier. Due to his feminine traits, Alto was often mistakenly thought of as a beautiful female. Alto’s true love was the sky. This inspired him to become a Valkyrie pilot. It also negatively affected his relationship with his father. Alto is often portrayed as a rebellious individual with snarky behaviour. He lives a strict life while aboard the Macross Frontier.

30. Ayano Sugiura

Ayano Sugiura

Ayano Suugiura, a yuri series character, Yuru Yuuri, is their Vice President. She has a secret crush Kyoko Toshino, and her tsundere side often comes out when she’s with Kyoko. She is in love with Kyoko but sees her as a rival academically because Kyoko always scores higher.

26. Inuyasha

Inuyasha

Inuyasha is another male tsundere and eventually became Kagome’s husband. Although he may not appear like a Tsundere initially, he soon becomes more involved in traveling with Kagome and they start to form feelings. Inuyasha became more protective and possessive towards his future wife.

25. Kyou Yamamoto

Kyou Fujibayashi, Ryou Fujibayashi’s twin sister and one Tomoya Okazaki’s closest friends, is Kyou Fujibayashi. Kyou is an role model to her underclassmen.

She is known for her amazing R18 works. She is a childhood friend to Tomoya, who recruits her to be the illustrator for their team Blessing Software. Eriri has special feelings for him due to their friendship since childhood. Although it is obvious to Eriri, she has never tried to admit it.

23. Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi Suzumiya is the president of SOS Brigade. He has a passion for finding supernatural beings such as time travelers, espers and aliens. Haruhi, unlike other Tsunderes is outgoing and always open to learning new things. As her feelings for Kyon become more obvious, her signs that she is a Tsundere begin showing. This is due to her irritation at Kyon’s comments about other girls.

22. Nishikino Maki

Here are the top 10 on the list, and that’s Nishikino Maki from Love Live! Maki was initially introduced as a cold person to conceal her social awkwardness. She’s an introvert. She is a tsundere because she can easily get flustered, especially when she receives compliments. This was evident when Honoka walked into the music room and clapped for Maki’s incredible piano skills.

21. Nagi Sanzenin

Nagi Sanzenin, a blonde-haired girl of high status is the only heir to the Sanzenin Family. She is so wealthy that she can throw trillions of dollars just for a joke! Nagi hires Hayate Ayasaki as her butler. She falls in love because of his generous nature. She is competitive and short-tempered, just like other tsunderes. She also struggles to admit to Hayate, but she was able to do this in later seasons.

20. Chitoge Kisaki

Chitoge Kisaki

If you have ever seen Nisekoi, Chitoge Kirisaki will be one of the most well-known tsundere. Chitoge is violent and rude and her fiancee IchijoRaku often refers to her as a gorilla lady because of her powerful kicks and punches. She falls in love with Raku as the story progresses. However, her violent side remains and she is a tsundere.

19. Kagura

Kagura is not the type of person you would expect to see on this list, as there is almost no romance in comedy anime. However, Gintoki once made a tsundere joke about Kagura, referring to her voice actor, Kugimiya Rie who is well-known for voicing many tsundere characters. We can conclude that Kagura is a true tsundere, and she has displayed traits of it in this movie.

18. Asuka Langley

We can’t forget Asuka Langley, the Evangelion series’ main character! Both Shinji as well as Asuka have been known to feel for one another, but they were unable to express their feelings because of their different personalities. Asuka is a shy person who doesn’t want to admit to her weaknesses to others. This is why she didn’t openly confess to it to him.

17. Shana

Shana

The Flame Haze, Shana, has earned the fifth spot! Shinji was a serious, rude girl when she first met her. She can also be self-entitled sometimes. She often shouts to Shinji words such as “Idiot” and “Shut Up“. The story ends with Shana developing feelings for Shinji, which makes her more protective and attached to him.

16. Taiga Aisaka

Taiga Aisaka

Taiga Aisaka, also known as the “Palmtop Tiger”, is a top tsundere. She is small and dangerous when she gets annoyed. Except for Yusaku Kitamura, her first crush, and her friend Minori Kushieda, her dominant side is often displayed to nearly everyone she meets. Taiga, the tsundere she is, can be violent and clumsy when she makes mistakes. If you see Taiga’s flustered face, followed by curse words, you might get a painful punch.

15. Louise de La Valliere

Louise, the main heroine in the anime series The Familiar at Zero is her. Although she is a noble, her true self is quite different. Louise’s true self is more impatient, shy and stubborn than you would expect from someone who was born into a noble family.

After meeting Saito hiraga, she treats him like a dog. However, as they bond, Taiga’s feelings toward Saito begin to change. She felt jealous more when Saito spent his time with other girls, which triggers her temper.

14. Misaka Mikoto

Misaka Mikoto

Misaka Mikoto of A Certain Magical Index takes the second spot. Misaka Mikoto is an esper. She is well-known for her alias Railgun because of her strong electrical beam. Kamijou is her crush. She calls him idiot and “you”, even though she knows his name. Due to her short temper, she can even attack him occasionally. This tsundere deserves to be so high.

13. Tohsaka Rin

Tohsaka Rin

The Fate series’s Magus is the winner of the top spot. Rin, who is known for her intelligence and cunning personality, is the ideal girl for many boys and girls in Homurahara Academy. She is the main heroine in Unlimited Blade Works. You will also see more of her tsundere side than the Saber route and Heaven’s Feel route.

This version of Fate sees Rin as the love interest of Emiya Shirou. She has sometimes displayed shyness in her personality when she is alone with him. She is not like other tsunderes and will often lash out at Emiya with harsh language to make sure he doesn’t make the same mistakes in the Holy Grail War. After the timeskip, they were a happy couple and now live in London.

12. Misaki Ayuzawa

 Misaki Ayuzawa

This girl is the class president of a high school that’s mostly composed of male students. She works hard to keep her distance from her peers and put on a tough front. Misaki also works in a maid café.

This side of her life she prefers to keep secret is what Misaki discovers when Takumi Usui, her classmate, stumbles upon Misaki’s maid personality. The following episodes are filled with wild hijinks. Misaki is tough, but she also has a kind side. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

11. Erza Scarlet

Erza Scarlet

Erza, one of the Fairy Tail guild’s most powerful wizards, is also known as Titania (queen-of-the fairies). Erza is a strong fighter who can be trusted to fight any challenge, and she’s a great sister figure to Natsu and Gray.

Erza was a frightening child at first. Little was known about her private life, aside from a love for cake. She eventually opened up and had a relationship with Jellal Fernandez, her childhood friend. Erza began to show her true spirit shortly after, as Lucy, Natsu, and Gray became her loving friend. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

10. Jotaro Kujo

Jotaro Kujo

Jotaro Kojo is mainly tsun with a small amount of dere. But he still counts. Despite his 17-year-old age, he is stoic, stern, and not as personable as Joseph, Polnareff and Kakyoin. He is more likely to laugh at “good grief” than to think. He cares deeply for his family even though he won’t say it to anyone. Jotaro traveled the globe to save Holly, his mother, from a plant-like death. Although he won’t admit it, he is also protective of Joseph, his grandfather. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

09. Hirotaka Nifuji

For someone more grounded. The romance comedy series Wotakoi is based on the difficulties of being an anime/game nerd at work. Four closet geeks come together to form a geek squad.

One of them is Mr. Hirotaka Nafuji, an introvert who has extraordinary gaming skills. It’s amazing that he would have preferred to stay in his own little world, but instead he became Narumi Momose’s best friend, boyfriend and shared a love for geek life. Hirotaka is also patient and loyal, even though he can be aloof from his friends sometimes.

08. Uryu Ishida

We meet Uryu in the early days. As a Quincy, he is a natural rival and enemy to the substitute Soul Reaper Ichigokurosaki. These boys are good friends and dependable partners in saving Rukia, and later Orihime.

Uryu is calm, dignified and calm. He gets annoyed at everyone’s antics. He often scolds them like a big brother. He is loyal, and will risk his life to save Orihime (he seems have a crush upon her). Uryu is also Ichigo’s friend rival and he jumped into action when Ulquiorra smashed down Ichigo.

07. Saitama

Saitama

The parody action series One Punch Man may seem odd to a tsundere, as this isn’t a high-school rom-com. However, Saitama, the caped blonde, is a perfect tsundere.

He is lonely, vaguely bitter and bored of his strength. He is also reluctant to accept Genos as his apprentice and really irritates other pro heroes. Saitama is still a hero and fights hard to save his country (usually, one punch or swipe seals the deal). Saitama has often shared his support with friends and family, sometimes even with a hero’s smile.

06. Kaname Chidori

Kaname Chidori

It doesn’t matter whether you first saw her in Full Metal Panic or Full Metal Panic Fumoffu because the Kaname Chidori in both shows is a proven tsundere.You’d think that for someone who’s been in Japan and the US, Kaname would have no problems making friends in either nation. Yet she feels isolated because she doesn’t exactly fit their respective culture. And her family history isn’t helping as well. Thus, her tough outer shell serves to protect her from a world of hurt and appearing too vulnerable — and that’s why it was essential for Sousuke Sagar to come into the picture. Best Tsundere Anime Characters

05. Kurisu Makise

Kurisu Makise

Do I even need to introduce Kurisu Makise from one of the most highest-rated anime series ever? At this point, you’ve probably been spoiled about Steins;Gate. Or you at least know its characters, memes, and iconic lines.Yes, Rintarou Okabe is awesome.But the series wouldn’t be at the level it is without Kurisu.

The red-haired (okay, somewhat red-haired) woman who often looks unimpressed helps form the emotional core here.Kurisu is a genius. But her scientific achievements at a relatively early age have caused resentment from others.It makes total sense why she sometimes acts the way she does.Also, Kurisu is the only tsundere who will act like a tsundere to deny that she’s a tsundere. Legendary.

04. Kyo Sohma

Kyo Sohma

Fruits Basket is a staple in the Shojo world. It’s one of the most popular titles, along with Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura. We meet Tohru Honda (an orphan with a heart made of gold), who is incredibly kind and wholesome. She meets the Sohma family where 12 members of her family are cursed with Chinese zodiac spirit animals.

There is an unofficial 13th, however. It’s the cat spirit. This spirit is embodied in KyoSohma. Kyo was a lonely person, jealous of Yuki and other people. When Tohru comes into the picture, he cannot help but feel drawn to her and becomes extremely protective. To protect Tohru from abuse and mistreatment, he’ll even fight Akito, his cruel family head. Impressive!

03. Levi Ackerman

Levi Ackerman

He is one of a few, isn’t he? Levi, a high-ranking Scout officer, is a hard-working soldier who never loses sight of the mission. He is an extremely skilled warrior and a total neat freak.

Isla

Now, the Giftia (android), Isla is a truly sad figure! Giftias, in the world of Plastic Memories are extremely realistic companion robots that serve as computers and friends to anyone who requires them. However, they only live so far. They will need to be taken away and collected soon so that their programming can be stopped.

Isla is responsible for helping other Giftias retire, but her time is becoming increasingly precious. Tsukasa, her new coworker, takes an interest in Isla and is determined to keep her functional and alive. Although it is futile, it’s amazing to see Tsukasa offer Isla deep friendship up until her final moments. She actually “died” in his arms, atop a Ferris Wheel. Isla initially wanted no friendship… but she later realized that it was all she wanted.
