Random Greatest LGBTQ+ Romances In Anime (21 items)

• 

  (#5) Yukito Tsukishiro

  • Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie

  Yukito Tsukishiro and Touya Kinomoto share one of the most recognizable relationships in the CLAMP universe. The two boys start off as good friends before eventually progressing toward a romantic relationship. They've been attached at the hip from the moment they met, and each considers the other to be the most important person in the world to them. The anime iteration of their relationship can technically be interpreted as platonic, but the manga version is clearly romantic.

  Given the manga is aimed at young children, this is especially heartening. No matter what their future orientation might be, kids need non-binary representation. It can help heterosexual kids grow up to be tolerant, while non-binary kids feel validated for their identities.

  (#4) Ymir & Krista Lenz - 'Attack On Titan'

  Ymir and Krista Lenz's relationship is one of the best things about Attack on Titan, which is saying a lot given the overall quality of the show. The two bond over their complex hidden histories, throw aside expectations that have been placed on them by others, and devote themselves completely to keeping each other safe and happy. It's a genuinely beautiful relationship that blooms in the midst of chaos and bloodshed.

  Early in the Attack on Titan fandom, there was some debate as to whether or not Ymir and Krista were romantically involved, but their relationship was confirmed both by the manga author Hajime Isayama and Krista's voice actor, Shiori Mikami.

  (#8) Shion Karanomori

  • Psycho-Pass

  Shion Karanomori and Yayoi Kunizuka are both employees of the Public Safety Bureau, an organization in charge of monitoring whether or not citizens might break the law, and arresting or slaying them before they get to that point. Shion serves as a lab technician, which is a far more prestigious job than Yayoi's position as an Enforcer.

  Nevertheless, both of them are stuck in a dystopian environment that neither of them truly feel fulfilled by. They find comfort in a physical relationship with each other. This relationship is never really commented on; instead, it's simply depicted as a small part of their dramatic lives.

  (#2) Sailor Neptune

  • Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon S the Movie, Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie, Sailor Moon

  It's impossible to mention non-binary relationships in anime without including this couple: Michiru Kaiou and Haruka Tenoh, AKA Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus, respectively. The best thing about their relationship is how obviously in love they are. The two have no qualms about kissing, flirting, and embracing in public.

  But Haruka and Michiru are more than just their physical relationship - they also work beautifully together as fellow Sailor Scouts, doing a great job raising the reborn Hotaru along with Setsuna.

  (#9) Shinji Ikari

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth, The End of Evangelion, Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone, Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance

  Shinji Ikari is a depressed teenager tasked with protecting the world from Angel attacks. Unfortunately, Kaworu actually is an Angel, but he keeps that fact hidden from Shinji during their extremely brief relationship. Kaworu's true motives are never fully explored, but the night they spend together is of critical importance to Shinji.

  Kaworu actually listens to Shinji discuss his loneliness and uncertainty, showing genuine understanding and concern for him in a way that no one else has ever done. As brief as it is, this relationship is wonderfully complex.

  (#7) Tohru & Miss Kobayashi - 'Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid'

  When a nerdy computer programmer named Kobayashi makes a drunken agreement with a dragon, she doesn't expect to end up living with Tohru, a dragon maid who is head-over-heels in love with her. She also doesn't expect to find herself reciprocating that love.

  That's exactly what happens in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. As the series progresses, the two learn more about each other's lives and grow so close that they act like a married couple. They even start making mutual decisions about the dragon child who has been living with them as if she's their daughter. It's nice to see two women live in domestic bliss, even if one of them is a dragon.
