  (#12) Hideki Motosuwa & Chi - 'Chobits'

  Chi is a Persecom, a lifelike robot who is supposed to function as a computer. But Chi is different from the average Persecom in two crucial ways. She can't download software like an ordinary Persecom would, which means that she has to learn about the world the way a human would - by learning from experience. What's more, Chi can feel human emotions, and even feel love, something that can't be said for most Persecoms. Those feelings are directed at the human being who got her up and running, Hideki Motosuwa. Their relationship is at the heart of Chobits, a show that interrogates whether or not it's truly possible for human beings and robots to form a genuine, mutual connection.

  (#6) Bulma & Vegeta - 'Dragon Ball Z'

  Bulma and Vegeta might appear to be the same species, but they aren't even from the same planet. Bulma is an exceptionally intelligent but basically ordinary human being, while her husband Vegeta is one of the few remaining Saiyans from the planet bearing his name. Their differences lay primarily in their approach to life - Bulma is a lot more practical and emotionally savvy than her husband, who is focused on training at the exclusion of other things. Bulma helps Vegeta successfully engage with the human world, while he inspires her to put all of her efforts into her goals.

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

  Miss Kobayashi is a human computer programmer who spends most of her time either working or getting drunk with her nerdy co-worker and yelling about her fascination with maids. Her daily life changes dramatically when she ends up befriending a dragon named Tohru, who decides to become Kobayashi's live-in maid. From the start, Tohru's feelings for Kobayashi go far beyond what one might expect from an employer-employee relationship - she's madly in love with her.

  It takes Kobayashi a while to reciprocate and feel comfortable with Tohru's boisterous displays of affection, but by the end of the show they're holding hands and visiting each other's families.

She finds solace in Haku, a boy her age who she thinks is a fellow human, but who turns out to be the spirit of the Haku river whose natural form is a dragon. Despite their differences, the two still forge a beautiful bond that they'll always carry with them, even after Chihiro returns to her own world.
