Top 10 LGBT Characters
Written by Shiggins
Here's an interesting one!
Mainstream media usually likes to play it safe, and so we rarely gets something that breaks from the norm and doesn't fill in the checklist I assume all major filmmakers and television have. It's why we have cliches, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, we do need some sort of diversity to keep things fresh and interesting. Which is exactly why anime is awesome. Anime does things that other media won't do, or at least won't do enough of, and so I'm going to show my appreciation of that with these top 10 LGBT characters!

As always, I'll be sticking to anime and manga, and the characters must be officially LGBT, so sorry fans but no Naruto or Sasuke here. Lastly, this is a list celebrating these characters so please keep all comments dignified and respectful, okay?
10. Mikage Shinohara (Nisekoi)Ow, it still kinda hurts to talk about Nisekoi! The ending burned me and it ended up causing half the amazing chapters feel pointless... (Any chapter with Onodera makes me cry now.) In any case, there are a few genuinely hilarious characters that never relied on the main character to keep the laughs coming, and that's why Mikage is still hilarious and brilliant, despite how I felt after the ending.
One of the few chapters I can read now... Damn it!! *sobs* |
He doesn't exist, Mikage. (Double meaning from me, the Shig man!) |
9. Puri-Puri Prisoner (One Punch Man)
This man is very lucky to be here. He is a walking train of cliche that we've seen many other times before, but it's impossible to deny how much of a badass he is and that alone is worth having him on this. Just as flamboyant as the rest of the series he's in, Puri-Puri Prisoner might be a rapist... Wow, suddenly this character feels really inappropriate to be here!
Laugh while you can, fandom. He's one of the few funny characters in this show that isn't involved with Saitama's strength. |
The Angel Titan! I can't wait for Levi to fight this one! |
8. Ryoji "Ranka" Fujioka (Ouran Highschool Host Club)
There's a very well-known myth that all crossdressers are completely gay, so imagine how refreshing it is to see that myth ignored, as we get a crossdressing man who was happily married to a wonderful woman for years before she passed away. Often called by his stage name "Ranka", Ryuji Fujioka is the overprotective dad of protagonist Haruhi, which means he should be lucky he's alive because parents of protagonists rarely last.
You know what's funny about this image? Ranka looks far too high-class here! That honestly bothers me! |
Haruhi, you have no idea how grateful you should be. |
7. Yagyuu Kyuubei (Gintama)
The first of two sword-wielding lesbians on this list, Yagyuu is a badass and also one of the nominees for "Top 10 Eyepatches", so maybe we'll end up seeing her again. Raised as a man by her father so she could be the head of the family, Yagyuu had a rough life but trained her hardest so one day she could be stronger than any gender and marry the one she admires most; Shimura Tae, whom she lost her left eye for.
Every badass has a "cute face" moment. It's one of the Ten Anime Commandments. |
Oh and she adopted a monkey once. I felt that was extremely important to mention. |
6. Neptune and Uranus (Sailor Moon)
The duo that triggers everyone's childhood nostalgia, these two are definitely not cousins. I'm getting that out of the way now because you were lied to! Cousins aren't close like that! Lesbians are! Neptune is a lesbian! Uranus is a lesbian! And yes, I'm juvenile enough that "Uranus" is funny to me. I'm a bad person, moving on! This entry is a shared one, because it's hard to talk about Neptune without talking about Uranus.
Oh good. One of the times Studio Pierrot didn't fuck up! Finally. |
No! How could Uranus do this? And why? And what? And no! |
5. Setsuna Sakurazaki (Negima! Magister Negi Magi)
And as promised, here is our second sword-wielding lesbian. And in my opinion, the best one ever! Training at a young age so she can protect Konoka Konoe, Setsuna distanced herself from everyone to avoid distractions and hide her true form. She became a master of kendo and eventually would meet the protagonist Negi, who would help her open up and finally form the friendship with Konoka that she wanted.
Why was Negima so obsessed with cat ears? Every girl wears them at some point, but... why? |
Goddamnit! I think we've had like 5 anime seasons/OVAs about this series, and not one of them actually make the characters look remotely like the manga. Is anyone even trying anymore?! |
4. Ruka Urushibara (Steins;Gate)
"Still a dude". One of the most commonly spoken phrases of the amazing Steins;Gate, it perfectly represents how gorgeous Ruka is. All the boys can't deny how feminine and lovely Ruka looks, with even Mayuri Shiina wanting to cosplay him in the cutest clothing possible. Shy and gentle, Ruka's life is actually quite difficult because of his feelings for Rintarou Okabe and is prepared to go through big changes in the pursuit of love.
Trust in me... Oh trussssst in me.... |
Calling all scientists! Ruka wants Okabe to go back in time and change the gender of this character before he's born. Possible? |
3. Giselle Gewelle (Bleach)
Aaaah, Bleach. I could go on for hours about your decline, including when exactly it happened. Some people think it happened as early as Aizen's defeat. Others say it didn't happen until we had the completely final battle against Yhwach, and very few think it declined when we first met Ulquiorra and Grimmjow. But I am a genius, so I can tell you that Bleach declined when they stopped having Giselle appear, because Giselle is one epic character of fucked-up beauty.
Aww, this made me miss Bambi-chan. Until I remembered my 100% canon Bleach Endings Article. |
Oh, the amount of fans this inadvertently would piss off one day. |
2. Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa)
Oh thank god we had an anime this year with him in it! I was so desperate to have Komaeda appear in Top 10s because he's just so great and crazy and gorgeous and aaaah! KOMAEDA! Member of the class from Danganronpa 2, Komaeda is also known as the "Ultimate Lucky Student", a trait that he is able to use to quite a psychotic degree... just like his personality actually. I was tempted to put in another Danganronpa character that appears in the anime, but Komaeda gets the edge because he's just far more engaging as a character.
I wanted to cheat and use Komeada because he appears in 2 of the games but a CERTAIN OTHER OTAKUNUTS WRITER would not let me. |
You thought I was joking about him wanting to hump Hope, didn't you? |
1. Grell Sutcliff (Kuroshitsuji)
It's only fitting that Kuroshitsuji is number one, a series that literally began in the author's mind as a yaoi manga, and choose the way of Shonen instead. So no matter what, the author will always have boy-love in her mind as she works away on this fun but flawed series. And nowhere is the author's open-mindedness better represented than the "actress" Grell, a very different Shinigami that you'd never see in Bleach or Death Note.
To all the people who cosplayed this character, I salute you. Grell must be a damn nightmare to get right. |
Or maybe the real reason is because of this perfect image. Who knows? |
Honourable Mentions:
Masayoshi Hazama (Samurai Flamenco) |
(Utena Tenjou) Revolutionary Girl Utena |
Ymir (Attack on Titan) |
Mahiru and Kubo (Baka to Test) |
Sweden (Hetalia: Axis Powers) |
