International Women’s Day is all about celebrating women around the world for their courage and determination to achieve new heights, encouraging others around them in the process.
In anime, we often fail to give credit to side characters, and many times, they are the ones who make the heart of the series. They almost tear the attention away from the main character and make you aware of their presence.
Thus, on this International Women’s Day, it is only natural that we celebrate some very essential female anime side characters who got our attention for all the right or sometimes wrong reasons.
Maki’s lack of cursed energy is not at all her weakness, but rather, it fuels her resolve to prove herself more. This is why she outshines almost all female characters in JJK because of how well we all can relate to her as a person.
Chika serves as Kaguya-sama: Love Is War’s quintessential comedic relief. She has an energetic and chaotic personality, along with some outlandish antics. But, other than her special traits, her expressiveness and uniquely silly facial expressions make her popular for fan art and memes.
Boa Hancock holds the title of the Most Beautiful Woman in the World, possessing unparalleled beauty that enchants both men and women in the series. Additionally, her status as a powerful pirate captain and a user of the Mero Mero no Mi Devil Fruit sets her apart from everyone else on One Piece.
Erza is definitely one of the strongest characters in all of Fairy Tail and possesses immense magical power and exceptional combat skills, often overshadowing other main characters in battles.
Her love for Subaru and her initial tsundere appeal, where we see a contrast between her icy demeanour and her affection, resonate with fans. Another thing that makes her a hit, is how she demonstrates her love through immense self-sacrifice.
