Top 10 Cutest Anime Couples of all time – Ranked

Even though Shonen anime is usually for young boys, that doesn’t mean they can’t have a cute pair occasionally. It’s pretty usual for the main character in a Shonen series to have a love interest, and sometimes there is even more than one. Having ties between the characters helps the anime appeal to more people and makes the story feel more real as the characters grow closer to each other as they go through hard times.

These anime couples are usually cute because they are ready to stick together through good times and bad. Anime couples are also typically young and just starting in love, which gives them a cute layer of shyness or nervousness that they must work through to get together. The couples below don’t always have great relationships, but they look cute together and have more than their fair share of cute times worth mentioning. 

 1.  Kaguya Shinomiya & Miyuki Shirogane From (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) 

Kaguya-sama: Love is War is all about the complicated relationship between Kaguya and Miyuki, two top students at a prestigious school who are also in charge of the student council. Both Kaguya and Miyuki are smart kids, so they tend to think too much about things.

This leads to some funny situations as they try to trick each other into admitting their feelings first. Unlike many romance-focused shows, Kaguya and Miyuki do end up together by the end of the series. They are then able to use what they’ve learned to help their friends get together a little more easily.  

 2.  Hinata & Naruto From (Naruto) 

A beloved relationship in Naruto is the one shared by Hinata and Naruto. They crossed paths during their Chunin Exams, and although Naruto initially found Hinata’s demeanor somewhat peculiar and reserved, her actions can be understood as an expression of her affection for him.

As the series unfolds, Naruto’s feelings for Hinata grow, and he becomes protective of her, especially when others criticize her openly. While there’s some ongoing discussion among fans about Naruto’s ideal partner, he ultimately chooses to marry Hinata. They start a family together, and she gives birth to their son, Boruto. 

 3.  Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba From (Sailor Moon) 

Sailor Moon’s Usagi and her mysterious partner Mamoru Chiba are a couple whose fate seems to be intertwined with the cosmos. Usagi and Mamoru are the modern-day reincarnations of Neo-Queen Serenity and Prince Endymion, who were rulers deeply in love in a distant future.

While Usagi and Mamoru may not be exact replicas of their former selves, their connection is undeniably electric. No matter the trials they face, it’s as if their souls are eternally drawn to each other, a profoundly romantic notion that speaks to the enduring power of their love.  

 4.  Riza Hawkeye & Roy Mustang From (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) 

Roy Mustang’s loyal follower, Riza Hawkeye, and he have a challenging and complicated relationship because they are both in the military. Their relationship is based on strict rules, but it’s clear that they love each other very much. Throughout most of the series, they feel a strong pull toward each other. 

But when Riza’s life is in danger, we see how much they care for each other. Roy is ready to do unthinkable things to protect her, even though he knows what will happen. It’s a love story that goes beyond the limits of their world and shows how much they care about each other. I don’t know what else this story is, but it is a story of true love. 

 5.  Miroku & Sango From (Inuyasha) 

Kagome and Inuyasha aren’t the only cute couple in the world of Inuyasha! After Kagome shatters the Shikon Jewel, they team up with Sango, a skilled demon slayer, and Miroku, a monk dealing with a pesky curse. Their mission? To take down the wicked Naraku, who’s caused no end of trouble in their lives. 

Now, here’s the fun part. At first, Miroku can be quite the flirt, which really gets on Sango’s nerves. But guess what? As they travel together, something magical happens – they grow closer and closer, and love blossoms between them. 

And wait, there’s more! In the Yashahime sequel series, Miroku and Sango take the big step and get married. They start their own little family, which includes a young demon slayer named Hisui. So, it’s not just about demon-slaying but also about love and family in the world of Inuyasha!  

 6.  Lucy & Natsu From (Fairy Tail) 

Fans of Fairy Tail love the way Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragneel are together. Natsu helps Lucy join the group, and they become close and sweet friends over the course of the show. People who like Lucy and Natsu are happy to hear that they got married in the parallel “Edolas” world.

Even though their relationship wasn’t confirmed by the end of the show, fans are hoping that, if there are sequels, the couple could at least be confirmed after the fact. No matter what their official relationship is, it’s clear that the two care a lot about each other, and after all they’ve been through together, it seems natural that they will get together. 

 7.  Winry & Edward From (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) 

Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell are like the stars of this show. They slowly become a couple in love as the story goes on. Edward is a young State Alchemist in a world where alchemy is like a super cool science thing. Winry is one of his childhood buddies, and she’s really good at fixing his metal arm and leg.

They argue sometimes, but right from the start, it’s clear they care about each other a lot. Winry’s always worried about Ed, and she has good reasons to be. Ed tries his hardest to protect Winry from danger in the whole story. At the end of the show, they admit they love each other and even get married! It’s like a happy ending to their long story together. 

 8.  Kagome & Inuyasha From (Inuyasha) 

Inuyasha is about Kagome Higurashi, a 15-year-old girl from the present who finds herself in Japan during the Sengoku era. There, she meets Inuyasha, who is half dog demon and half human. The Shikon Jewel ties their fates together, and the two of them go on a quest to find the broken pieces of the jewel. Both Inuyasha and Kagome have strong personalities and tend to hide how they really feel.

This makes it hard for them to talk to each other. Still, when danger comes, it will be clear very quickly how much this couple loves each other. May the gods have mercy on anyone who tries to hurt one of them. In the next series, Yashahime, Inuyasha and Kagome are married and have a daughter named Moroha. 

 9.  Misaki & Usui From (Kaichou wa Maid-Sama)

The Class President Is a Maid!, also known as Kaichou wa Maid Sama!, is a book that was turned into an animated movie in 2010. When the series starts, a school that used to be all boys is changing into a school for both boys and girls, but the girls are still in the minority.

Misaki Ayuzawa, who works in secret at a maid café, is elected class president. When Takumi Usui finds out her secret, he starts to like her. They end up together, but their relationship faces many problems over the course of the series. Fans love how “opposites attract” in their relationship and have pushed for it.

 10.  Izuku Midoriya & Ochako Uraraka From (My Hero Academia)

Even though Midoriya and Uraraka haven’t gotten together yet in the anime, their strong friendship and signs of attraction have already made them a great pair. Uraraka is a loving young girl who worries about Midoriya, who keeps hurting himself because his body isn’t well-suited to his Quirk.

In season 6, Uraraka made a big step forward in their relationship by openly defending Midoriya when a crowd of refugees wanted to chase him away because they feared he would bring bad guys to their location. Uraraka showed how much she loves Midoriya by putting herself in danger to give him a much-needed break, even if she hasn’t said it out loud yet.

Whether they marry or not, the cutest anime couples epitomize what young love is all about for viewers. These couples tend to be awkward and argue frequently, but they know that their partner will support them when things get tough.

These fictional couples can help younger fans understand what makes a relationship work because they frequently haven’t had much experience with love on their own. However, when they meet, these adorable anime couples quickly demonstrate why fans like a little romance mixed in with their adventure.
