46. Megumi Tadokoro (Food Wars)

She’s one of the most wholesome characters of the Food wars. At times, this holds her back because she lacks determination and confidence. Even though her talent as a chef is undeniable, she often comes close to being expelled since she lacks confidence.

However, after meeting with Soma, she began to develop a sense of pride and confidence. Eventually, she goes on to become one of the best chefs of the show.

45. Annie Leonhart (Attack on Titan)

If you like mysterious girls, then Annie Leonhart is the one for you! She’s the kind of girl who doesn’t get along with anyone, and that’s not because she’s an isolated weird girl. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Most people find her to be too intimidating to approach her despite her beauty.

She’s also skilled in martial arts and can take on opponents twice her size. Trust me, you don’t wanna get into a fight with her.

44. Nami (One Piece)

If brains are your thing, then you can’t go wrong with Nami as your waifu. She’s one of the smartest members of the straw hat crew. She initially believed all pirates to be bad. However, after meeting Luffy her view changed entirely.

She’s also a very loyal character. As someone who’s pledged her loyalty to Luffy, she’ll follow his orders, even when she disagrees with them.

To top it off, she’s also a very beautiful lady, so there’s no reason not to have her as your waifu! But at the end of the day, Nami is all about money.

43. Asuka Langley (Evangelion)

Up next, we have another character who takes immense pride in her abilities. And it’s none other than Asuka Langley. She takes immense pride in her abilities to pilot the Eva machines and gets jealous when somebody performs better than her.

The thing is, it’s not ordinary jealousy that Asuka has to deal with, on a deeper level, she’s afraid of being left alone if she’s worthless to the people around her. The depth of her character and her tsundere nature is the reason she’s such a popular waifu.

Asuka Langley

42. Erina Nakiri (Food Wars)

Erina is one of the most dominant personalities you could ever meet in anime. She takes immense pride in her ability to cook, and it’s the reason she doesn’t get along with a lot of people. However, it doesn’t really bother her, as she likes to be alone most of the time with her personal assistant.

Luckily, she changes as a person as the anime progresses. And turns into a more caring and loving person. Her development is one solid reason to have her as a waifu!

42. Erina Nakiri

41. Suzune Horikita (classroom of the Elite)

Horikita is one of the most beautiful girls from the anime, Classroom of the elite. She’s got a perfect figure, a pretty face, and intelligence. Basically, everything you could want in a waifu.

But there’s more to her than meets the eye. She is considered a disgrace by her elder brother because of her inability to rise to the top class of the school. Behind her poker face actually lies an insecure girl who just wants the approval of her older brother and the fact that she is actually worth more than he gives her credit for.

Suzune Horikita

40. Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell)

As a cyborg that serves in the Department of Anti-Cyber Crime of the National Public Safety Commission of Japan, Kusanagi is a woman with excellent leadership skills with a ton of experience in handling life and death situations.

When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, shooting, and even hacking, she’s pretty much unrivaled. If you love strong waifus, then this is the one for you, my friend.

Motoko Kusanagi

39. Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon)

Usagi is a kind, innocent and courageous girl. She is someone who genuinely believes that everyone deserves a second chance in life. And that’s why she’s generous to even the villains of the show.

Although she does get a bit jealous at times, she’s overall, a kind-hearted girl with a heart of gold. It’s no surprise that someone like her makes a pretty great waifu!

Usagi Tsukino

38. Hinata Hyuga (naruto)

Hinata is a girl that has been on Naruto’s side ever since the start of the show. She is the one character that saw potential in Naruto when everyone else considered him an outcast and a loser.

As a member of the Hyuga clan, she grew into a beautiful and strong woman. All while maintaining her gentle personality. She’s definitely one of a kind and deserves a spot on the list.

Hinata Hyuga

37. Akane Tsunemori (Psycho Pass)

She isn’t a very popular waifu, as Psycho pass itself is a series that’s focused more on philosophical themes instead of the female lead. However, I think Akane is a great waifu. She’s kind, caring, and gradually develops into a strong inspector throughout the show, even though she starts off as a complete rookie.

Akane Tsunemori

36. Revy (Black Lagoon)

Revy is a girl you don’t want to take head-on in a gunfight. She’s famous for her ability as a shooter, and her skill is unrivaled throughout the show. What sets her apart from all the other waifus is her merciless nature. She doesn’t have a hard time killing anyone if that means completing the objective at hand.

Her humor, for the most part, is pretty dark, and she loves to smoke and drink. If you’re the kind of guy who loves bad girls, then this is the waifu for you! 

Revy

35. Nobara Kugisaki (Jujutsu Kaisen)

The shonen demographic isn’t really known for making great female characters, but I have to say, Nobara is one great exception. Even though she comes off as an arrogant character, in the start, she’s actually a confident young girl who takes pride in her ability as a fighter and her beautiful looks.

Once you get to know her even more, she becomes more fun to be around, as she lets down her guard without realizing it.

Nobara

34. Hinata Tachibana (Tokyo Revengers)

Whether you know it or not, Hinata Tachibana is the kind of girlfriend we all crave in our lives. Sadly, she’s an anime character, so we can only make her a waifu. Throughout the show, she’s taken care of her boyfriend, Takemichi more than herself. Her caring nature is what makes her smile even more beautiful than it already is.

Don’t make the mistake of cheating on her though, she’ll show you an entirely different side of her personality that you won’t like.

34. Hinata Tachibana

33. Vladilena Milizé (86)

Vladilena Milizé, also known as Lena, is a character from an ongoing anime called 86. She’s a brand new waifu who has earned a spot on the list because of her empathic yet strong nature. The tsundere in her personality is the perfect icing on the cake that’ll melt any man’s heart.

Most people in her nation are privileged and spoiled people who don’t care for the people fighting in the front lines. However, Lena is the other way around. She strives for a better world for everyone to live in, making her a great character and a perfect waifu to have.

Vladlena Milize

32. Misato Katsuragi (Evangelion)

Misato is one of those girls who won’t have a hard time playing American football with the boys. She’s so strong both physically and mentally, that most boys would actually be put to shame. It’s no surprise that she’s actually the captain of a top-secret organization.

However, despite having a serious and strong side, she’s actually in a jolly and fun mode most of the time. The combination of strength and fun personality is what makes her a top waifu material.

Misato

31. Violet Evergarden (Violet Evergarden)

Violet is the cutest war machine you’ll ever see. She was trained to take orders and was willing to put her life on the line without a moment of hesitation. However, after the war had ended, she didn’t have much to do. Having never led a normal life, she had a hard time coping with everyday happiness that normal people cherish.

It’s actually one of the most wholesome things in the anime seeing Violet try to understand human nature and get to realize the true meaning of love. She’s a girl that would melt any man’s heart!

Violet Evergarden

30. Kallen Kozuki (Code Geass)

Kallen is a slim girl yet has a strong build and a really rough attitude. She is a loyal, brave, and determined individual. Besides her rebellious personality, she can become quite sensitive and gentle.

Moreover, she is also a capable fighter with a strong sense of justice. By putting her feelings aside she will protect those who she really loves, and care about which makes her a really lovable character.

Kallen Kozuki

29. Sasha Braus (Attack on Titan)

Now, don’t jump to conclusions. The reason I picked her instead of other AOT girls is that she has that hype feeling around her. She is confident, funny and a loving character she is also known as the ”potato girl.

She has a huge appetite and a love for potatoes. Hence the name “potato girl”. She’s the type of girl who will steal food from you but she will give ¼ of that part if she likes you.

Kurisu is a slim young woman with dull-looking violet eyes. She has waistline long reddish-ginger hair. Kurisu is actually a serious and sensible girl. Most of the time she has a calm and collected kind of attitude. However, sometimes she gets timid as well. In fact, she’s a tsundere.

She is also a really intelligent and geeky type of girl so conversations with her won’t be boring. You will be surprised that she uses a lot of sarcasm while having a conversation.

Kurisu Makise

27. Raphtalia (Shield Hero)

Raphtalia is a really kind and warm-hearted girl. She’s actually half raccoon and human. Raphtalia has raccoon ears and a small tail which makes her really cute.

Before she became Naofumi’s companion she had gone through a lot of harsh trauma which made her distrust everyone. However, she still tries to have a cheerful and positive attitude towards others. But if you win her heart and trust she will follow you anywhere and wherever you want.

24. Ino (Naruto)

Whoever has watched Naruto knows who Ino is. She was the crush for every guy who has watched Naruto. Her long blonde hair with 2 blue eyes made her a really attractive character.

Besides her looks, she’s a really compassionate, and kind person at heart but she has a mild temper. However, if u bother her for something she didn’t as she will definitely lash out at you.

Ino Yamanaka

23. Maki Oze (Fire Force)

Fire is HOT! So is Maki. Maki is one of the characters who have a muscular physique; she loves to work out and exercise.

Despite her masculinity, she also has a feminine side and can be really cute and silly sometimes. If u irritate her even a little bit she will snap at you. Maki Oze is a strong loveable silly waifu material.

She is a graceful, intelligent, well-mannered, and cold kind of person. She always has a disinterested expression giving off a vibe that she’s unapproachable.

Despite the cold attitude, she may sometimes get shy and embarrassed when someone compliments her.

Kasumigaoka

21. Saber (Fate)

Do you want a strong sword-wielding girl to protect and defend you from others? If yes, the saber is the answer. Saber also is a Knight of Britain; she brought peace and prosperity to her country by fighting for it as she will do for you.

Saber has a slender physique with green eyes and blonde hair.

She is really disciplined and will not break your promise whatsoever. She will do anything to protect you. 100% protection!

Saber

20. Kagami Hiiragi (Lucky Star)

Kagami is an average physique girl with long and light purple hair which is tied into twin tails with ribbons, giving her a queen of the school kind of look. Kagami is actually a tsundere and a stereotypical Tsukkomi character which translates to being silly and kind of stupid.

She will constantly attempt to hide the fact that she has a deep sense of attachment to the other person making her the tsundere, sometimes making her shy and lonely at times. She’s also awful at household chores, so you have to take care of that yourself.

Kagami Hiiragi

19. Megumi Kato (Saekano)

Megumi is a cute girl who has short shoulder-length brown hair; sometimes she may ponytail her hair which makes her cuter. In comparison to other Waifus, Megumi doesn’t have any distinctive features and is a normalordinary girl she also doesn’t have much presence when she is with others, but despite all of that she’s really kind and soft-spoken to others. She will constantly go out of her way for others to help in any way that she can.

Megumi Kato

18. Rei Hino (Sailor Moon)

Rei was the childhood crush for anyone who has watched sailor moon. Heck! She was the prettiest of all the sailor girls in the show.

Rei is a teenager with really long black hair and black/brown eyes. Besides her pretty looks she’s actually a really hot-blooded, boy-crazed girl, and somewhat bossy but still she’s very loyal and well determined for what she does.

Rei showed her affection to the people who are close to her in odd ways like teasing or joking with others. She clearly cares about people who are close to her despite her fiery personality.

Rei Hino

17. Akame (Akame Ga Kill)

The pure beauty from Akame Ga Kill, Akame can be quite stern and vulnurable at times too. She has a dark side that almost every character is scared of

Akame Ga Kill

16. Eru Chitanda (Hyouka)

“Watashi Kininarimasu.” You will hear a lot of this word coming out of her mouth translating to I’m curious! Eru is a cute young girl with mid-back length black hair with bangs on her forehead with indigo –purple eyes.

She is a very polite, friendly, and cheerful girl, and has many childlike aspects to her but out of all those traits, she is a really curious girl her curiosity goes out of this world. This childlike aspect makes you want to protect her and makes you do anything she asks you to do.

Eri

15. Yuno Gasai (Mirai Nikki)

Every anime fan knows who this girl is. The queen of yandere Yuno Gasai and we all know what yandere can do for the sake of their loved one.

Yuno is a young teenage girl who has pink eyes and long pink hair which are styled in pigtails giving her a really cute look. For the most part, she really looks sweet, shy, and feminine.

However, this just masks her yandere side as a cold, ruthless, and manipulating girl. She will literally kill someone just so no one interferes between her and you, making her the best yandere waifu.

Yuno Gasai

14. Haruka Morishima (Amagami)

Not many anime fans know what particular anime is this, and who she is but I assure you she deserves the title of waifu. Haruka is a teenage high school girl, has long black hair which is curly at the end and wears a headband, and has Blue eyes.

She is one of the characters who have a teasing and playful personality; she is also a very picky person and gets insecure when it comes to things she likes the most. She also possesses a senpai kind of personality meaning she acts like a mentor for others.

Haruka Marishima

13. Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)

Erza scarlet is an S class mage in the Fairy Tail guild. She is a strong warrior who has gone through hell just to become the strongest. Besides her strength, she is also a beautiful young woman who has long scarlet red hair with brown eyes and has a perfect physique.

On the outside, she is a really strict person often criticizing the bad behavior of others causing most of them to be feared of her

However, inside she’s really insecure due to her tragic childhood causing a sense of social awkwardness But that’s what makes her tough and a perfect pick for a waifu.

Erza Scarlet

12. Rem (Re: Zero)

One of the most beloved characters in the anime community is “Rem.” If you were waiting to see her here you go. Rem has short-length sky blue hair which covers her right eye and has blue eyes and wears a flower-shaped ribbon on her head. She is a really polite person, sometimes may act without thinking and is highly trustworthy.

One specific thing I like about Rem is she is really devoted to the things she does even when Subaru rejected her Rem still stayed by his side till the end, making her the most trustworthy and beloved waifu of all time.

Rem

11. Emilia (Re: Zero)

Here we are, yes she is on the top of the list cause I think Emilia> Rem (sorry Rem fans). Emilia is one of the characters who is both hated and loved in the anime community.

Emilia is a beautiful HalfElf girl with long silver hair tied in braids along with a white flower in her hair and purple-violet eyes. She’s the type who will always be focused on doing “good,” and likes to take care of others but she herself doesn’t admit it.

Moreover, Emilia thinks that she is just a selfish girl. However, she’s not the type to deceive anyone without pure intentions and will stay true to her promises. This is what makes her kind, beautiful, and better waifu in my opinion.

Emilia

10. Kyou Fujibayashi (Clannad)

From one of the saddest series of all time I present you Kyou. She is an average girl with long, straight violet hair that reaches her waist also wears a ribbon-like hairpiece on the left lock of her hair. She has purple eyes.

Moreover, Kyou is a bad-mouthed girl who is bold and can be aggressive at times, but also a reliable and independent girl which makes her stand out in front of others. She’s the type to never let go and will stay with you till the end moreover she’s a really good cook what more can you ask from a waifu.

Kyou

9. Onodera Kosaki (Nisekoi)

Onodera is a teenage girl with shoulder-length dark brown hair and one long strand of hair she keeps on her left side and with brown eyes. Onodera is one of the sweetest characters you will ever meet.

You will find that she is really innocent, kind, and cute AF. Not only is she cute and sweet but also a great cook. Onodera has a deep affection for animals. It’s just perfect she has every single trait a waifu needs, the best girl in Nisekoi in my opinion.

Onodera

8. Yoko Littner (Gurren Lagann)

Yoko is a cute girl who has thigh-length red hair which she always ties in a ponytail with some bangs on the right side of her head and with amber-colored eyes. She has a really slender figure and is always seen wearing a bikini top and black shorts.

Yoko is quite knowledgeable and a very mature woman especially when it comes to battle and survival, she’s known for her sniping skills. She gets really irritated and aggressive when dealing with uncooperative people despite that she keeps a level head and learns to move forward.

Yoko Littner

7. Rias Gremory (High School DxD)

Ever wanted a demon as a waifu? Demons can be scary looking and they are feared by everyone but not this girl. From one of the most popular harem series in 2012 I present you Rias Gremory, she is one of the pure-blooded devils in the series. Rias is a beautiful girl with blue-green eyes with a rounded figure and.

Her most noticed feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair which reaches down to her thighs and she has an Ahoge to top it all. Besides her beauty, she is really kind and optimistic especially to the people close to her but Rias get really violent and angry whenever someone insults her or someone close to her.

‘This shows how much she cares about her loved ones. She is a badass.

Rias Gregmory

6. Miku Nakano (The Quintessential Quintuplets)

Miku is the third sister of the Quintuplets. When this series came out she became one of the most popular and loved girls out of the 5.

Miku has medium-length brownish-red hair that has strands of hair hanging over the right side of her face. She’s seen with a set of wireless headphones on her neck and like all her sisters, she has dark blue eyes.

Most of the time she looks emotionless, she’s always silent and shows very little confidence, and doesn’t have much faith in herself but despite all that, she still talks in a proper manner and doesn’t hesitate while talking. On top of all that she’s cute.

Miku Nakano

5. Mai Sakurajima (Bunny Girl Senpai)

Mai is an attractive girl. She’s mostly admired for her bunny costume. Moreover, she is a slender girl who has waist-length black hair that has bangs hanging on the left side and has light purple eyes.

Mai is an intelligent and serious type of girl, and also has a little bit of tsundere side to her. She also gets irritated or annoyed when she gets lewd comments from Sakuta.

She tends to forget all the unpleasant feelings rather than dealing with them but despite that, she tends to get shy and sometimes shows the clumsy side. You can call her the bunny girl waifu.

Mai Sakurajima

4. Megumin (KonoSuba)

EXPLOSION” is the word you can relate to Megumin. She has a huge affection for explosions.

She is a young girl who has short brown hair and has crimson red eyes and always carries a black staff for her “explosions”. Megumin is an eccentric, loud, and really lively hyped girl, and also she has some chuunibyou tendencies (thinking that you yourself have some secret powers).

She constantly boasts about her “explosive“ and destructive powers but quickly drops her act when in a dire situation.

Despite her shortcomings, she is fairly intelligent and can adapt to things easily and when it comes to her close ones she will stand up for them and protect them. She is one of the best girls in the anime community.

Megumin

3. Zero Two (Darling in the FranXx)

One of the best girls in 2018 with huge popularity all over the world zero two. Zero two and the love for her “darling“ is just something else.

She is a girl with a slender and fit physique. Having waist-length long pink hair and wears a white headband that has 2 horns over it and has turquoise eyes.

Most people see her as a cold and selfish person but that’s not true she is a really confident, outspoken, and honest person to the heart. She might be carefree and childlike. However,  that’s what makes her a unique waifu in this list.

Zero Two

2. Rin Tohsaka (Fate)

And the silver medal for the best waifu goes to Rin from the Fate series. She is one of the popular girls from the fate series. Rin is a teenage girl with mid-length brown hair that is tied into twin tails and has aqua eyes. If you have watched fate you know how arrogant, bossy, and stingy Rin can be but actually is really serious and a competitive person.

Even during the Holy Grail war she kept her composure and kept calm. She has some tsundere traits also an aggressive one .she doesn’t have a cute personality but definitely a cute tsundere one.

Rin Tohsaka

1. Kurumi Tokisaki (Date A Live)

Here we go the no.1 spot Kurumi from “date a live”, yes you heard it right. Now, this may come unexpected but she deserves this spot.

Kurumi is a young-looking girl and a spirit an “evil spirit”. She has long black hair which is tied in long twin tails, her eyes have different shades to them.

Her right eye is crimson red while her left eye is golden and has a clock face implemented on the eye showing her power of time.
Now her personality might not be like other Waifus on this list she is evil to the core moreover a cute yandere.

Kurumi is really hard to read, yes she does possess evil traits but deep inside she does have that innocence in her that she keeps locked from everyone just so she can complete her mission, one of the best and cutest waifu in my opinion.

Kurumi Tokisaki
