Anime kisses come in several forms. It can be long, short, aggressive or just plainly passionate, nevertheless, whatever may be the case, it takes a great deal for these characters to lock lips. Kisses do not happen so frequently in anime, however, when it does happen, it serves a great deal … especially the first kisses.

Honey and Clover is a romantic comedy that features two arts students – namely Morita and Hagu. The kiss scene that this duo delivers to us cannot be classified as romantic as they both look confused but certainly, it was a hilarious scene especially as Hagu was made to dress up as a mouse.

We all waited long for this one, we saw it coming and when it finally did, it was as glorious as we expected. The build-up, the kiss itself, and the way he held her, told tales of two people that have finally accepted themselves and their love, no longer running away from their emotions.

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
14/20	7/10	7/10	28/40

Yamato and Takeo make this show great, their constant back and forth, second guessing their true feelings made us wait longer for the first kiss. The first kiss can be said to be as annoying as the wait, with Yamato kissing him on the lips when his eyes were closed … the young man ended up thinking a bug touched his lips – just how dumb can a character be? The subsequent kisses got better and Takeo and Yamato will forever be in our hearts as a really cute anime couple.

18. UTENA TENJOU AND ANTHY HIMEMIYA (ADOLESCENCE OF UTENA)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
14/20	7/10	7/10	28/40

Well, if you have seen Revolutionary Girl Utena, then you might not need to see Adolescence of Utena as it is basically a retelling – anyways I will implore you to watch it for the numerous kissing scenes that were added. This anime is full of dramatic scenes but nothing will stop the passionate kisses such as the one that occurred during a duel when Anthy rushes at Utena, kissing her in such an intense manner that you can’t help but cheer.

17. ROMEO AND JULIET (ROMEO AND JULIET)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
14/20	7/10	7/10	28/40

Imagine a love so strong that people are willing to die for it, this is the case in this adaptation of Shakespeare’s popular work. There is a lot of passion in this anime and the kissing scenes are intense … one thing a lover boy won’t do, is see his girl down and sad without kissing her.

16. TSUBAKI AND EMA (BROTHERS CONFLICT)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
14/20	7/10	7/10	28/40

This romance anime has a weird plot, Ema’s father remarries and now she is burdened with 13 step brothers who harbour feelings for her … yeah, that’s a real conflict among brothers. In this series, she gets to be romantically involved with all of the brothers or just pick one, however your guess is as good as mine on her decision. Ema enjoys kissing Tsubaki, the problem is that she enjoys kissing the others too, or maybe that’s not a problem.

15. KAZUSA AND HARUKI
(WHITE ALBUM 2)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
15/20	8/10	7/10	30/40

White album 2 is a music themed anime that focuses on romance and slice of life. The passionate kiss between Haruki and Kazusa was the high point of the show no doubt, a kiss for the ages, one capable of melting hearts. Haruki is a third year student whose dreams of performing in the school festival now hangs in the balance, but when the angelic Kazusa comes into his life, something more complex than romance begins.

14. HAJIME AND CHIZURU (HAKUOKI: RECORD OF THE JADE BLOOD)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
15/20	8/10	7/10	30/40

The Hakuoki franchise is full of romantic, public displays of affection scenes but this sequel tends to tone it down rather than build on it. ‘Record of the Jade Blood’ takes a more historic approach rather than a romantic one but when the romance hits, it sure hits hard. The ways he holds her tight, and the background music are some of the things that makes this particular kiss so passionate, putting it on this list.

13. KURISU MAKISE AND RINTARO OKABE (STEINS; GATE)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
15/20	8/10	7/10	30/40

A complicated kiss born from a complicated situation, Steins; Gate is a science fiction series not afraid to delve into a world of romance. With characters that find a way to discuss scientific theories mid kiss, you’re in for a jolly ride.

When Okabe and Kurisu find out that the latter might die soon, something unusual and unconventional happens as Okabe realises he could lose the person dearest to him, the result is a very passionate kiss. Watching these two kiss some more after their first kiss is a lovely experience … one I rate highly.

12. NIA TEPPELIN AND SIMON (TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
15/20	8/10	8/10	31/40

These characters are involved in a very tragic romance that will shatter your heart and move you to tears … a tale of what could have been, and their first kiss is one that happens in odd circumstances being that they already know how their lives together will end.

Nia Teppelin is an alien princess, not just that, she has also been tasked to destroy humanity. Even though she and her heartthrob conduct a wedding, it is already a little too late as she would soon be disappearing from his world …at times, fate can be wicked.

This kiss deserves to be higher up on this list because it literally saved the world. Haruhi is about to destroy the world, she will reform it into something more appealing to her. Kyon cannot allow that to happen so he decides to save the world in the most insane way possible, he kisses her. She thinks of him as an idiot but what matters is that the plan worked and now the world is saved.

10. YUNO AND YUKITERU (MIRAI NIKKI)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
16/20	8/10	8/10	32/40

An intense kiss between a yandere and a young man who finally decides to take the mantle of leadership in their relationship. Mirai Nikki is an anime that divides opinions, was it good or was it bad? Well this kiss doesn’t give room for doubts, it was heavenly, it was sensual … certainly one of the standout scenes from ‘The Future Diaries’.

Nana is an amazing romance anime from Madhouse Studio. It encompasses comedy, slice of life and drama and also produces one of the most romantic couples in anime history. The anime is music themed so if you love musicals then this one’s for you.

With everything going on in Nana’s life, she really does need companionship and Ren provides just that. They have had a thing for each other since their teenage years … an unbreakable bond filled with passion that will not die and their kiss reflects all of this.

8. KIRIGAYA KAZUKI AND ASUNA YUUKI (SWORD ART ONLINE)

Emotion	Timing	Sweetness	Total
17/20	8/10	8/10	33/40

If you really followed Sword Art Online, then these two kissing would not have come as a surprise to you at all… they really do complement each other, it won’t be wrong to say that they were made for each other.

Sword Art Online is a very popular series, it might just be the most popular anime featuring people trapped in a game world. The romantic kissing scene that comes after Kirito nearly loses his life in the fight against Kuradeel can be said to showcase all that Sword Art Online is about. This scene is so emotional as Kirito professes his undying love for Asuna and even decides to sacrifice himself to save her if need be.

Like a lot of other professionals, Yuuri goes into depression after having a bad professional year and then his mentor, Victor, agrees to coach him.

Yuuri and his coach begin to develop feelings for each other, and as their love blossoms they shock the world … They share a kiss in front of thousands of fans during an international competition. You would be hard pressed to find any scene more romantic than this in anime.

The hilariously disgusting kiss between Naruto and Sasuke will never be forgotten in the annals of history. With the two young shinobis glaring at each other, Naruto is pushed and he lands on Sasuke… lips to lips … it is an eye sore but it did produce a lot of good memes.

This kiss can be said to be important to Naruto due to the way he references it severally during the course of the series. It was also funny seeing the girls such as Sakura and Ino getting angry at Naruto for stealing a kiss from their crush… while this kiss was accidental, it certainly deserves to be on this list.

18/20	8/10	8/10	34/40

A sixteen year old high school boy gets caught up in a war between two heretic Gods. After defeating a God, he becomes a Campione, with the duty to fight heretic Gods and save humanity.

Kiss X sis is a very inappropriate anime, it also features comedy and it is set in a school. The story follows Keita, his father remarries, providing him with two step sisters and a budding relationship immediately forms with both of them.

Sisters falling for their brothers is not uncommon in anime. Anyways, in this case they are not related by blood. Not even the kiss from Ako can change that.
