From anime old to new, a lot of girls have wooed the hearts of fans. Here are ten waifus we think are worth recognizing!

Irina Jelavic - Assassination Classroom

‍

Irina Sensei, our hit-woman from Assassination Classroom, is the definition of femme fatale. Ms. Irina is a dependable and confident woman, with a hard shell hiding a soft side. She’s the perfect waifu for all tsundere fans (if you can get past her husband!).

Marin Kitagawa- My Dress-up Darling

Marin from My Dress-up Darling is a gyaru at heart and a fashion aficionado with an upbeat, cheerful personality. Her clumsy side only adds to her cuteness and she’s sure to brighten anyone's mood!

Yor Forger - Spy x Family

Our second hit-woman, Yor Forger aka The Thorn Princess has captured the hearts of many with her polite and kind personality and her ability to switch into assassin mode as soon as anyone threatens the people she cares about.

Kurisu Makise - Steins;Gate

Kurisu from Steins;Gate is a serious and composed woman with reddish hair and violet eyes, donning an unreadable face. Kurisu makes the perfect waifu for those who prefer highly intellectual women with a love for science that can be shared, along with the sarcasm to keep tsundere fans in line.

Mikasa Ackerman - Attack on Titan

Ziplining next on our list is Mikasa from Attack on Titan. Considering the enemies she has to face, she’s a very strong, level-headed, and reliable fighter. She makes the perfect waifu, as long as you can keep her mind off Eren!

Kaguya Shinomiya - Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Though originally, she presents a cold persona, we now know that Kaguya Shinomiya is quite the opposite. The caring vice president is always there to support her friends when they need her. Despite her competitive nature, she’s charming and so easy to love!

Mitsuri Kanroji- Demon Slayer

The lovable Hashira from Demon Slayer nose dives into our hearts with her pink-green hair and formidable strength, deserving of the title of a pillar. Mitsuki is shy but passionate, and often lets her emotions get the best of her. She’s very kind, gentle (as long as you aren’t a demon), and easily gets flustered, all traits that make her a great waifu! We can't wait to see more of her in the upcoming Demon Slayer season!

Kurumi Tokisaki - Date A Live

Next on our list is the antagonistic spirit from Date A Live. Kurumi is murderous and dislikes humanity but her strong sense of justice and love for animals shows her more likable side. Though it’s debated whether or not she is a yandere, fans don’t seem to care and still deem her a notable waifu!

Zero Two - Darling in the Franxx

A fan favorite and heroine of Darling in the Franxx steps up as a well-known recognizable waifu. Zero Two shows how capable she is of loving someone in the series. She’s headstrong, assertive, and passionate in nature and you only need to keep track of her klaxosaur blood.

Hinata Hyuga - Naruto

The last person on our list is the white-eyed byakugan from Naruto. Hinata has a long-held special place in the hearts of fans with her shy personality and soft spoken demeanor. But by no means is she weak, and she can definitely protect what she needs to if circumstances require. A perfect waifu!
