An anime/manga icon for over four decades, master thief Fumiko has achieved enough popularity to briefly escape her side character status, starring in her own TV series, The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, in 2012. Fumiko’s fans cited her “mysterious personality” and “va-va-voom proportions.”

Shrunken scientist Ai may not get the same amount of screen time as Detective Conan’s most active female character, Ran, but she rose above her female co-star on Gachirezu’s list. Her dual nature won praise in the form of comments such as “She talks tough, but she’s actually very considerate” and “I like how she’s mysterious and you can’t tell what she’s thinking.”

Sailor Uranus shows up late to the party, but she definitely makes an impact as one of the series’ fighting Sailor Senshi, plus in her alter ego of Haruka Teno (seen flashing some serious bedroom eyes at Sailor Moon/Usagi in the image above). “She has a same-sex partner in the series, so it’s easy to imagine her as my girlfriend” reasoned one fan, while others were simply drawn to her reliable, protective personality.

Love Livers, vocal fans of high school idol singer series Love Live!, are generally thought to be a predominantly male demographic. However, Gachirezu’s research turned up enough lesbian fans of the show to make one of the school idols the list’s number-one pick for an anime girlfriend. While spunky Honoka is the closest thing the series has to an official protagonist, part-Russian Eli took the top spot. “She’s a beautiful girl who’s also intelligent! I wish she was an idol just for me!” said one supporter.

In the interest of full disclosure, we should point out that Gachirezu didn’t disclose the methodology by which it composed its list, which makes it hard to determine just how universal its results are among lesbian anime fans. However, if nothing else, it stands as proof that even as plenty of guys are enjoying romantic daydreams about these characters, some women are too.
