Beauty, when mixed with compassion and intellect, makes female anime characters perfect waifus. Here, we have mentioned the 10 best waifus the community is crazy about.

A waifu is a female anime character who becomes the definition of a perfect companion in the hearts of male viewers. In Japanese anime, girls are shown in such a stunning manner that one cannot live without thinking about them, even years after the show’s conclusion.

The industry has given us several fierce female characters who never fail to impress the viewers with their appearance and humbleness. Sometimes, it’s their dazzling beauty, while sometimes, their bravery catches the attention of the ones watching them on their screens.

Well, if you are an avid manga fan or a newcomer, here’s a fabulous list consisting of 10 such characters that can make you fall for them.

1. Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

Mikasa hails from the Attack on Titan universe. She is Eren’s childhood friend and the female titular character of the series. She belongs to a race that has protected the king of Eldia for centuries, so she is gifted with impeccable physical strength. Along with her robustness, Mikasa’s strong will and confidence are some elements that make her a perfect waifu.

Mikasa is one such anime character who proves that you shouldn’t be afraid to choose the right path even if some of your closest people are on the other side. For instance, when she learns that Eren is the biggest threat to humankind, she decides to stop him. Despite loving Eren since childhood, she was the one to sever his head and save humanity.

2. Power (Chainsaw Man)

Getting introduced as the Blood Fiend, Power comes into Denji’s life when he starts his journey as a Hunter. Initially, she appears as someone who can never keep anyone above herself. Initially, she has a bumpy relationship with Denji, and she gets ready to sacrifice the poor boy to save her pet. However, when Denji protects her cat, and the duo starts living together, we see Power having a change of heart.

Power stops seeing herself as superior to everyone as she used to see before. She becomes compassionate towards Denji and never thinks twice before sacrificing herself for the sake of him. Not only Denji but she also starts choosing her other close friends before herself.

3. Miyo Saimori (My Happy Marriage)

My Happy Marriage Season 1 took the internet by storm with the premiere episode. The show has gone off air, but we miss it sometimes as the series has given us one of the most beautiful waifus, Miyo Saimori. She was introduced as a malnutrition girl who performs household chores at her father’s residence. Miyo gained popularity with her simplicity and innocence.

Even though Miyo was never loved by her father after her mother’s demise, she never disrespected him. Her stepmother and stepsister never miss an opportunity to torture her, but she always treats them with kindness.

4. Nobara Kugisaki (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Nobara Kugisaki is one of the bravest anime characters to date. She was introduced in Jujutsu Kaisen as an over-smart and arrogant young woman. However, with time, we learned how compassionate she is. She turns out to be someone who doesn’t express herself out loud, but deep inside, she keeps on fighting her own battles.

In the start, when Kugisaki meets Megumi and Yuji, she looks down on them – but slowly, the trio becomes the closest of all. Several instances in the series reveal how confident and self-witted Nobara is and how far she can go to fight against the horrors for the sake of her friends and society as a whole.

5. Yor Briar (Spy X Family)

Yor Briar is an assassin by profession who was a socially awkward individual until she met Loid and Anya, the fake father-daughter duo. Despite having a criminal background, Yor is an extremely humble human who also comes with a motherly instinct.

When she was chosen by Loid to be his fake wife, she kept on taking lessons from her co-workers on how to be a good homemaker. Yor also has an immense physical prowess that she keeps on showcasing whenever an assassination contract comes her way.

6. Chizuru Ichinose (Rent-A-Girlfriend)

Chizuru Ichinose is a rental girlfriend in the Rent-A-Girlfriend series. Her stunning beauty can make anyone crazy. However, that’s not the only reason that makes her the best waifu. Chizuru usually ends up getting the highest ratings because of her cheerful and happy-go-lucky attitude.

She is not always happy, but she keeps a transparent wall around herself, preventing others from reading her personal life. She is a professional who doesn’t compromise her duties for something that can be tackled later. However, when Kazuya comes into her life, several instances happen when she goes way beyond her limits to help him.

7. Mitsuri Kanroji (Demon Slayer)

Mitsuri Kanroji is the love hashira who is desperate to find a soulmate, which became her primary motive to join the Demon Slayer Corps. As clear from her title, she is a beautiful girl who is hungry for love. Besides that, she is compassionate, humble, kind, and has every quality a waifu must possess.

Despite being a strong hashira with a muscular build, Mitsuri doesn’t look down on anyone. In fact, she never misses to compliment the ones she finds worthy. She also sometimes acts a bit childish, but that doesn’t make her any less of a potent hashira.

8. Nico Robin (One Piece)

Nico Robin is one of the most loved characters from the One Piece universe. She can catch every viewer’s attention with her flamboyant dressing style. Besides that, she is the most courteous member of Straw Hat Pirates and is mostly seen behaving calmly. She loses her temper only if the situation goes beyond her control.

Nico Robin is also compassionate toward Luffy, even if he behaves impulsively sometimes. She never degrades her peers; instead, she always shows compassion towards them.

9. Historia Reiss (Attack on Titan)

Historia Reiss belongs to a royal family but is not proud or arrogant of her bloodline. Instead, she is the most pure soul anyone would like to die for. Historia possesses the angelic features that can make you fall in love with her in one instance. Adding to that, she is a beauty who likes to stay grounded, not because she has low self-esteem or something, but because Historia doesn’t want people around her getting hurt because of her.

When her father, Rod Reiss, asks Historia to kill Eren and steal his Attack Titan powers, she chooses her friend over her father. Historia’s determination to eliminate every titan, when merged with her strength, makes her one of the strongest soldiers of humanity.

10. Ai Hoshino (Oshi No Ko)

Ai Hoshino, a popular idol in Oshi No Ko, was betrayed by her lover. She gave birth to the twins and worked day and night to give them a decent life. Despite living with them under the same roof, she never reveals to the world that she is their mother. That’s because she wanted to protect them from the killer who was searching for her.

Her compassion is seen when she gets stabbed by her psychopath stalker. Instead of yelling out for help, she starts apologizing to him for hiding her personal life details from him and every fan who loved her.
