One of the most popular anime boyfriends has to be Edward Elric from 'Fullmetal Alchemist'. He's got that tough exterior but a really kind heart. His journey to find the Philosopher's Stone and his relationship with his brother are really touching. He's also quite funny at times with his short - tempered nature. His red coat and blond hair are iconic looks that many fans love. And he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, which is a great quality.
Well, first, think about the personality traits you like. If you like the gentle and kind type, then Tamaki from 'Ouran High School Host Club' could be a great choice. He's always so sweet and caring towards others. In terms of looks, his princely appearance is a plus. But also consider the storylines they are in. Characters from more action - packed animes might have more exciting adventures that you can follow along with, which can add to the allure of having them as an 'anime boyfriend'.
I'm a bit of an introvert, so I'd say Shoya Ishida from 'A Silent Voice'. He starts off as a bully but then goes through a huge transformation. He's really introspective and tries hard to make amends for his past mistakes. His journey of self - redemption and his growing understanding of those around him, especially Shoko, makes him a great match for someone like me who also likes to reflect on themselves.
I would choose Tamaki Suoh from 'Ouran High School Host Club'. He's so charming and kind - hearted. He always tries to make others happy, especially Haruhi. His goofy and flamboyant personality makes him really fun to be around. And he comes from a wealthy family, which doesn't hurt either. Plus, his journey of self - discovery throughout the series is really endearing.
Revenge is another theme. Often, the mafia setting is full of grudges and vendettas. This can either bring two characters together in love as they seek revenge together or drive them apart. For instance, in some stories, a character's quest for revenge against a mafia boss might interfere with their relationship with their lover. Also, the theme of sacrifice is quite common. A character may have to sacrifice their love or their position in the mafia for the sake of the other.
One popular anime with a mafia love story element is 'Durarara!!'. It has complex relationships and some characters with mafia - like associations. Another one could be 'Baccano!', which involves gangs and love stories within that chaotic world.
Well, it could be someone like Satoru Gojo from 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. He's powerful, has a unique personality, and his backstory is quite interesting. Or perhaps it's Naruto from 'Naruto', who's determined and goes through a lot of growth.
I think my anime boyfriend could be Syaoran from 'Cardcaptor Sakura'. His story is full of adventure and loyalty as he supports Sakura throughout her magical quests.
