i'll send ya something i'm curious about -- in all of the manga you have read and the anime you have watched, who are your top 5 characters?
Oh boy... let me see... in no particular order:
Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan): do I need to explain? Hahaha
Yona (Akatsuki no Yona): I am a sucker for her growth as a character throughout the story. She went from being an overly spoilt castle princess to a resilient selfless leader on the field in a particularly horrid context, never forgetting the folks that helped her evolve and helping Kouka's people more than her father ever could.
Askeladd (Vinland Saga): he's such a complex character, with intricate (often buried) emotions and even more complex motivations behind his actions. The message he leaves Thorfinn is as powerful as a punch to the gut.
Yato and Yukine (Noragami): I'm gonna cheat on this one. I love them as individual characters but their dynamic is even more precious. Noragami is a wonderful story, and this pair stole my heart. Father and son, brothers, protector and protegé (but who is who? It fluctuates!). They both teach each other the meaning of true family -the one you choose, knowingly or not-, and help each other come out of the cycle of abuse they both had to endure. It wasn't always easy to get along for them, but the love, respect, guidance, and empathy they show each other as the story progresses is unparalleled.
Aaaand Ms Anna Hanyu (Buddy Daddies): she's a side character with little screen time. But I want to include her because of the way she treats the Kazuki-Suwa-Unasaka family in her role as kindergarden teacher. Non judgemental, caring, looking at 4 yo Miri in the eyes when she speaks, asking her what she thinks, valueing Miri's dads' role in her life, helping them adapt to their new life as parents. All in all, being a decent and loving human being in a very special context.
I could add more, for instance I left Hange out?! (Ok, they can go side with Levi on this one)
Thanks for stopping by Amy 🥰
