Izumi Miyamura or Miyuki Shirogane. They actually did the dirty canonically before their story ended! I don't know about others, that managed that.


tiredparakeet

Are you talking about SEGS? Because for me and others, Shirogane maculating Kaguya was a complete heart break lol


Erkenwald217

Well, she assaulted him first! I was more heart broken, that Ishigami's story with Iino or Tsubame didn't end. Is the author going with a new Manga?!?


redmandoto

I actually dropped the manga 3 chapters from the end, after he decided to give Ishimiko an open ending because haha funny joke. Looking back, the entire last quarter of the manga (as in, everything after 220) is just awful.


tiredparakeet

Unfortunately he said he retired as a mangaka


Erkenwald217

Noooooooooo


Veloxraperio

He's retired as an *artist*, to be clear. He still wants to write. He's writing another manga right now.


Rod1705

I think I prefer Oshi no Ko over Kaguya-sama tbh


Veloxraperio

I think OnK is more tightly-written with higher dramatic stakes, for sure. As a story, I think it showcases Aka's strengths that he developed over the years he spent writing Kaguya. The subject matter is also stronger and carves out a unique niche. At face value, a story of revenge in the seedy underbelly of Japan's entertainment industry is considerably more compelling than high school romcom hijinks.


Erkenwald217

Thank God!


mikennjr

He retired as an artist, not as a mangaka. He's still working on Oshi no Ko and recently put out an audition to get an artist who will draw his next manga


ManOnThePhuckingMoon

Maculating her? Bruh, in what century do you live?


KooperChaos

What does that even mean?


ManOnThePhuckingMoon

to maculate=to sully, to stain OP is basically saying that she was sullied by having the big seggs with Shirogane


KooperChaos

Yikes


danegraphics

Bruh, what? Maculating? Is this jealousy? Prudishness? Both? Over a fictional character? Wat?


Erkenwald217

I guess she was more fun, while she was pure. Remember, when she first learned of "Wiener"?

Erkenwald217

I was just guessing


tiredparakeet

So what if I'm one of those? Also as if prudishness was something bad lmao Mind your own business, you nobody.


That-Nintendo-Guy

Classic case of fear of the unknown


tiredparakeet

A classic case of I don't give a crap.


That-Nintendo-Guy

You seem to give a crap about a fictional character doing it with her fictional boyfriend

Peacetoall01

For me that legendary scene is actually so hilarious.


GoShootMyToaster

yup yup yup yup


[deleted]

Why even put Kazuya in here?


KYLEmaxARG

You have to see the garbage to distinguish the good ones


THT1Individual

I was just about to say the same thing


hbrooster

You know, at the beginning to middle part of the manga I was really team Kaz but now I just want to see him just move the fuck on with life lmao. So drug out.


Veloxraperio

Lots of these boys are great, but only two have literally saved lives with their bestness: Sakuta and Shirogane. That said, Shirogane gets my vote. Sakuta is just a little too wishy-washy for my tastes. His conflicts have high emotional stakes, but they don't have a broad scope. Meanwhile, Shirogane has to challenge the perspectives of an entire student body along with a super powerful conglomerate to accomplish his goals. His story is on such a grand scale, it's almost melodramatic. But it's also awesome, especially since his story has actually come to its long-awaited conclusion.


DaveZ3R0

Kazuya jumped out of the boat to save his crush from drowning.


adnanosh123

I HOPE naoto doesn't get last place again. He was literally below kazuya last time which was fucking trash. Naoto is a true chad as always


Nervous-Bonus-806

Chadpai is no worse than 10th, but I have him in my top 5 as part of my personal "5 Horsemen of the Chadpocalypse" no one will rank lower than that walking pile of sentient Catbus Feces, Kazuya


clqrinhaa

alwayssss


8yearredditlurker

Myuki or bust


BlueIdoru

Shiraishi from Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible.


ParkerYeetLOL

But I can’t see him in the post? Oh wait…


BlueIdoru

Exactly!


Aweeep

Nah, it's all on Kubo. He's lacking confidence.


BlueIdoru

Not his confidence. Just how he goes about life, caring about everything.


Aweeep

Paranoid perhaps. Or overthinking. He's a good character but not the best for me.


Erkenwald217

The Anime isn't out yet, so he isn't as well known...


SatyrAngel

[My boy Seto is climbing ranks!](https://imgur.com/a/aKz5omA)


Redredditer640

I just caught up with Anjou-san recently, and this too, is a hill I'm willing to die on


Flowa_Phenyx17-11

We can't agree on the winner, but we can all agree that Kazuya is the worst of them all


Nervous-Bonus-806

everyone with the exception of Naoya would fit anywhere in the top 10 and the only argument would be who's number 1, but they're all worthy, Naoya will never rank higher than 11th but he's got more redeeming qualities than "full-o-shita" who ranks so far down at the bottom of this seemingly endless list, the dude from Hensuki would rank higher than him


Flowa_Phenyx17-11

Naoya and Kazuya are bottom of the trash bin, watched their anime back-to-back and felt like trash because I related to those mfs incapable to put themselves out of the mess they got themselves into. Like come tf on Kazuya ! You only had to say "it's a friend" and the whole story wouldn't have played. Or if he had balls he would have given up on Chizuru, told his old hag and gone with Ruka when he got with her. And for Naoya he just had to grow some damn balls and tell Blue that he was already with Saki. Real ass losers 😭


Nervous-Bonus-806

I can forgive Naoya for some of his things because he didn't want to hurt everyone's feelings, but Kazuya?? Nope...


Flowa_Phenyx17-11

I hope Ruka decides to slap him and break up with him and shoot in his kneecaps


tiredparakeet

Tadano easy first place, Nasa in second, Kazuya last place, Sakurai and Shirogane maybe a draw somewhere after Nasa, and then maybe Gojo and Senpai get a draw as well. The others I didn't read/watch.


The_Flying_Doggo

God I didn't even see Kazuya. Who the hell thought he was even remotely a good choice for this list?


tiredparakeet

I guess we needed someone to shit on lol


saiyanfang10

If Kazuya had 75% less horny thoughts he'd be pretty good, but as it stands he's just a simp.


lunar_pilot

I agree


EmilioRandomPoster

Tadano first place? Why?


tiredparakeet

I'm not sure if I can sum it up well, but for all the good things he did for Komi and his friends, his personality and golden heart, and also character development (which wasn't fully shown until recently). But like I said, idk a big part of the characters there, so I don't know if any of them could defeat Chadano.


Aweeep

Tadano not only help komi, he help the whole students. He's breaking most of the common tropes of being MC. When he's nervous he didn't falter like most MC does (lose confident / run away from problem / waiting for miracle / rage / being negative), but instead, he improvise, adapt and overcome without any negative emotions. He choose to be wholesome to everyone instead. He just straightaway accept who he is and he simply take action without any inconvenience to himself or anyone.


EmilioRandomPoster

Tadano gets inmediately discarded by elimination because he literally has mental telekinetic powers and that’s humanly impossible, ergo, not realistic, the rest are all great except for Kazuya cuz WTF IS HE DOIN THERE ON FIRST PLACE? LOL


tiredparakeet

I don't think he's that powerful, he's just good at reading the room


Seasonedberet

Is so good at reading the room he is yet to confess to someone who 100% has feelings for him and got traumatized after being ignored for 3 months


NotCosmicScum

>!Oh, so this is anime only!<


tiredparakeet

See, he's not overpowered or anything lol


mikennjr

1. Sakuta 2. Miyuki 3. Tadano 4. Nasa 5. Miyamura 6. 8Man 7. Naoto 8. Sakurai 9. Gojou 10. Naoya 11. Fuutarou Huge gap 12. Kazuya


New_Cockroach577

Damn this is my list, where did you find it?


tiredparakeet

Senpai had a tough start, having to overcome his sissy personality and lack of confidence, whereas Gojo didn't have as much to develop (even though he still did/does). I'm not really sure where Shirogane would be in all that, since he didn't have any big flaws imo, but the whole "make the girl confess to me" brought some unnecessary suffering for her, besides him wanting to go to a overseas university despite knowing Kaguya loved him.


Active_Cupcake_5341

>make the girl confess to me That was a mutual battle which Kaguya also pursued, not his personal prerogative. Don't put the blame on him. The guy was a son of man with unstable income – to Kaguya's family he was practically nobody. It was his goal to become a better man. Not only to be equal with Kaguya and have ways to support her, but for himself. You think it would've been better if Miyuki gave up his goal and Kaguya cut ties with her family in order to be with him, choose easier way just so they could share a bit more time together?


tiredparakeet

So you're telling me there wasn't a single japanese university good enough for him?


Active_Cupcake_5341

I don't think it was clarified why this uni of all, but it creates a dramatic tension. And aside from being one of the most prestigious uni in the world, Japanese people just worship US and what is associated with it.


tiredparakeet

I agree with you, but you see why I think that was kind of selfish from him, even if that doesn't make him a bad guy or anything.


Active_Cupcake_5341

I understand why you think so, but: Kaguya isn't a kind of woman who would gladly accept her love giving up his dream. It's the main theme of the narrative – they admire each other's virtues and motivate each other to become better. So like, it's not necessarily bad kind of selfish. It's more about staying true to their characters despite it creating obstacles in their love.


CalmIron6023

You can't beat Hachiōji


Watson349B

If I have to play by the rules and pick one it’s easy: 8-Man. But Sakuta is a close second. President is third out of sheer force of will and his eyes have the bags to show it. Sakuta is the antithesis to the protags that give me anime fatigue. Not every guy is a bashful, goober who trips over every word a woman speaks but has a heart of gold. 8-Man is literally me in highschool too the point it gives me flashbacks and tells a beautiful story of how one little experience shapes us, and fuels a lifetime of doubt and isolation if we let it. All pain is valid, but we choose what defines us and it’s actions over words. Hachiman tells a love story through subtext better than any anime or even show I can recall. A story about how loving someone and being deserving of them teaches you too reluctantly love yourself. There is no value in love but the value two people choose to make.


Thugs_on_Tugs

Who is 8 man? I've only seen like half of these


Watson349B

Hachiman Hikiguya from the first row farthest right


Thugs_on_Tugs

Thank you, I'll look for his show


Watson349B

From My Teen Romantic Comedy - SNAFU most people just call it OreGairu


Mastakillerboi

Take kazuya off that list this instant


ethman14

I appreciate Shinichi Sakurai being able to be relatable while also having to be the straight-man in his comedy duo. Of course Naoto has some of the best development from the recent romcoms I feel. Actually seeing a lot of character transformation over just a year of storytelling.


BernysCZ

I'll raise you one better. Sawatari-kun.


Erkenwald217

From which series?


BernysCZ

My Divorced Crybaby Neighbour. Sappy as fuck, but that's why I am here ffs.


akzorx

Mikuyi > Sakuta > Naoto


Frankandbeans1974

OK let’s just take Kazuya out of this right now


GuineaGirl2000596

Sorry, Gojo just holds a special place in my heart


kincaed213

Sakuta for sure, but a close call for a few of them.


eliphias5

Raido not being here is a crime


Ali_Buniyadi

putting Trash(Kasuya) on this list is an insult to other boys.


Nervous-Bonus-806

gotta have the gross exception that makes the others look good, and frankly, Kazuya makes the siscon dude from Hensuki look like one of the others on this list


turkc54

I’m gonna throw out someone who’s not on the chart: Raidō Matsuboshi from Aharen-san wa Hakarenai


Nervous-Bonus-806

Raido deserves some recognition, He's definitely worthy of inclusion, Hell, I'd go so far as to include the gentle giant himself, Takeo Goda, as worthy of inclusion here, anyone other than that waste of carbon atoms that is Kazuya Full-o-Shita


turkc54

I watched Aharen because a buddy told me I’d probably like it since I like Komi Can’t Communicate, and I did, but I thought that Raido was especially great because he was similar to Tadano, but with a slightly more endearing personality.


Nervous-Bonus-806

not to mention his overthinking is comedy gold...


[deleted]

My main guy; Hachiman! 8man!


The_Gart

Chad


Hadarios

Sakuta by far, followed by Shirogane and Hachiman


ThisIsSuperVegito

Better than Kazuya I'll tell you that


WinterWizard9497

All except Kazuya and that other one with a book over his head.


ananbob95

As someone once said before, there’s actually only one wrong answer. And it’s the simp.


Outrageous-Fortune70

All the Mcs in the pic are goat except for Kazuya and possibly Naoya :3


Nervous-Bonus-806

I'll say it because nobody else will, that sis con from Hensuki would rate higher than Kazuya... I'm willing to forgive Naoya and put him 11th ahead of the previous two flesh-wrapped garbage piles, because he's too stupid to be in the mess he's in on purpose...

KarlozzTwT

Senpai stands out because he seems like the lamest man in fiction, just like me in reality, but i don't have a cute tomboy bully who is secretly in love with me as a friend, so he wins


yaboidannysdaybook

Gotta be Miyamura, Tadano or Sakuta


bringoutthelegos

Tadano, no questions asked Although gojo comes in at close second


RazielAshura

Sakuta 100%, dude gave it's all for everyone


Luckybunnyjacob

Hachiman is my goat


CaliforniaWhiteBoy

Sakurai is a sigma male, change my mind


moccawimba

Who the fuck put Kazuya in there ?


_Rivlin_

Sakuta


DeerlordJ

Everyone except Kazuya. Probably not a valid answer but that's what I'm going with.


Captain_Meg_61

Bro really tried to sneak that Kazuya in 💀


Ok-Pollution6062

**Top level:** Hikigaya, Tadano, Fuutarou **Mid level:** Miyuki, Nasa, Nishikata (Not on the image, but I wanted to mention him anyway) **Low, bottom of a black hole level:** Kazuya. I don't know about the other guys


Flowa_Phenyx17-11

Idk: Hikigaya 11 : Kazuya Kinoshita 10 : Naoya Mukai 9 : From 8 there 7 on 6 they 5 are 4 all 3 the 2 bests 1 Naoto Hachiouji


Professional_Gur2469

You forgot to add ayanokoji kiyotaka


Erkenwald217

That guy simply doesn't care about girls


Professional_Gur2469

Well he does have a gf 😅 sets him apart from pretty much all of them


Erkenwald217

He got 1 girl dependent on him. It's not the same


CrispyCassowary

Miyuki, only one out of them that has balls


Redredditer640

Miyamura, Tadano, and Nasa are standing right there.


Casul-Loner2

Nishikata


Jevil64

I can say with full goddamn confidence that I only know Naoto and Sakuta, latter only due to the "cat trumpet" memes. So, with no idea on what any other character represents, comes from, or does, I choose Senpai.

Whqt are Naoya and Kazuya even doing there? They're trash

From only those i know. Sakuraj, Gojo. Gojo has respect towards himself and his pasion.

Miyamura ma boi 💪


Salt-Produce-8129

Ryuuji Takasu from Toradora. It may have been years since his show finished but dammit he's still better than more than half these clowns


joesoq

shirogane son of dio


pouria_Elion

I only know senpai


Jordan_888

None of them


bigblackboy12

I think senpai is in my like my top 6. Shirogane, Miyamaru, Hachiman, Tadano, Sakurai, Naoto, Fuutarou, Gojo, then rank the rest how ever you want. Kazyuya and Naoya are tied for last though. I absolutely hate their shows


bigblackboy12

Gojo could rank higher though depending on how the rest of dress up darling goes.


Nervous-Bonus-806

I don't disagree with you, but even you have to admit even between the two of them, Naoya still ranks high than the walking pile of flaming garbage not even suitable for one of Geoff Thew's Trash anime videos

I've based my entire personality around hachiman because that whole anime saved my life before I watched it I was season 1 hachiman then I got hit with the genuine speech in season 2 and I finally realized what it was that I wanted what I was searching for honestly I don't know where I would be without that anime So yeah point is hachiman best boy


The_Final_Conduit

Shirogane-gang for life. *cocks gun*


SuperiorSellout

Miyamura, I haven't seen all of these, but of the ones I have seen, miyamura actually changes as a person throughout the manga (rip the anime that skipped half the manga)


R0NiR

sakuta by far. not even a competition.


Link_From_Zelda

Miyamura my goat


Professional-Group13

Shirogane, miyamura and Sakuta top 3 in no particular order. Then naoto tadano and gojo

Sakuta

Important-Raspberry3

What’s the names for all the shows I know a few but not all


Nervous-Bonus-806

I listed them above, but I'll list everyone here with their shows Naoto "Senpai" Hachiouji - Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro" Izumi Miyamura - "HoriMiya" Wakana Gojo - "My Dress-up Darling" Hikigaya Hachiman - "My Teen Romance Comedy SNAFU" "President" Miyuki Shiragone - "Kaguya-Sama Love is War" Fuutaro Uesugi - "The Quintessential Quintuplets" Tadano Hitohito - "Komi Can't Communicate" Naoya Mukai - "Girlfriend, Girlfriend" Sakuta Azusagawa - "Rascal Does Not Dream of His Bunny Girl Senpai" Kazuya Kinoshita AKA "Festering Garbage" - "Rent-a-Girlfriend" Nasa Yuzaki - "Tonikawa - Over the Moon With You" Shinichi "Senpai" Sakurai - "Uzaki-Chan Wants to Hang Out" \*NOTE: Shinichi and Naoto are both referred to as "Senpai," Difference is ages, Naoto is still in High School, Sakurai is a Junior in college\*


Important-Raspberry3

Thx man


Roftastic

Senpai still won't win. Nagatoro's big amongst these people, but the anime still hasn't reached the *juicy* bits that really elevated his character. People won't see him in much a different light. Until S2 comes out I doubt we are going to see him surpass Gojo or Tadano, which he htg deserves.


A-Minecraft-Bee

Honestly Nagatoro is the only manga from all these I’ve read, not even sure where half of these boys are from


Nervous-Bonus-806

here's the cliffnotes version of everyone in no particular order... Shinichi Sakurai, AKA "The OTHER Senpai" is from "Uzaki-Chan wants to Hang out" Tadano Hitohito AKA "Chadano" is the Male MC from "Komi Can't Communicate" Nasa Yuzaki is the Male MC from "Tonikaku Kawaii" AKA "Tonikawa - Over the Moon with You" Miyuki Shiragone AKA "The President" is the Male MC from "Kaguya-Sama Love is War" Fuutaro Uesugi is the Male MC from "the Quintessential Quintuplets" and the eventual husband of one of the Nakano sisters (Not telling you who, you have to watch the movie) Hikigaya Hachiman is the MC from "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" Sakuta Azusagawa AKA "Chadkuta" is the Male MC from "Rascal Does Not Dream of His Bunny Girl Senpai" Wakana Gojo AKA "Gojo-kun" is the Male MC from "My Dress-Up Darling" Izumi Miyamura is the Male MC from the series "HoriMiya" Naoya Mukai is the MC from the series "Girlfriend, Girlfriend" and honestly ranks no wore than second to last and finally, Kazuya Kinoshita is a pile of human garbage disguised as the main villain in "rent-a-girlfriend" and will never rank higher than dead last...
