Question:

Non-annoying anime/manga heroine?

I find that every single anime/manga out there have such annoying heroines. They're melodramatic, or too shy for words, or annoyingly oblivious, or annoyingly helpless, or annoyingly stoic, or extremely bitchy. I'm looking for an anime, shoujo, shounen or whatever, with a heroine that is not annoying. That is to say, she does not have the usual shoujo "I'll find a boyfriend/I'll make that guy like me/etc etc" attitude, does not have the shounen "stand in the background and watch while my only hero risks his life for me totally unnecessarily" attitude (where she cries and yells, "Stop!" or says the hero's name-kun a million and one times per episode), or anything. I'm not too into tragic heroes either, or melodramatic heroes, or girls that seem to constantly be on their period.

I like Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club. Really, she's the only heroine I fell in love with. Her down-to-earth personality and what-the-f*ck-don't-bug-me-i-don't-care attitude is just too much for me to handle. I feel like glomping her like so many of the other guys in that anime do ^_^.

Let me make this clear: HERO OR HEROINE, I H-A-T-E THE KIND THAT CANT MAKE UP THEIR MINDS. Okay? got that? And one more thing-- you may THINK that haruhi Suzumiya is awesome, but seriously, she's a b*tch. There's just no other word for it: she's a b*tch.

If someone has a heroine with an attitude that resembles Haruhi, please let me know!

PS: These are heroines that have been recommended before, but that I hate.

Tsukushi from Hana Yori Dango - she's cool at first, but then gets overly oblivious, past the point where it's cute, and super indecisive. I had to put down the manga permanently half-way through reading it cause I couldnt look at her.

Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin - She owns a DOJO. She's the master of a DOJO. For god's sake, DEFEND YOURSELF! Seriously, she een gets her freakin TEN-YEAR-OLD STUDENT TO SAVE HER. God, she was as annoying as freakin h**l.

Hotaru from Gakuen Alice - Stoic is NOT cool. It's just... not.

Tokiko from Busou Renkin - She starts off so badass, yelling I'll rip your guts out every two seconds... but I've never seen anyone cry or shout like she did in the last few episodes. I understand why she was doing it and everything, but she turned totally weak. She was just letting Kazuki protect her, like so many others have done before her.

that pink haired killer from Elfen Lied - Understand this: she is mentally unstable. She just IS. I cant even look at her.

Harada (was that her name?) from DN Angel - You fall in love with a villain that you see on tv, and then follow him around to the depths of danger. SHALLOW IDIOT.

Momo from Peach Girl - She started out pretty badass too, punching guys, being able to realize the situation she was in, all of it. And then, she went back and forth between two guy and claimed she couldnt choose faster than I could inhale and exhale. Just... no.

Kagome from Inuyasha - oh GOD. dont get me started. Just dont even mention her name, or ANY OTHER Takahashi creation. That author is an expert at making annoying characters.

Eri from School Rumble - EPIC FAIL.

Aside from haruhi, whom I love, I kind of like these heroines: Kahoko (La Corda D'oro), Tohru (Fruits Basket), Risa (Lovely Complex), Tsukamoto Yakumo (School Rumble... actually, the more I think about it the more I love Yakumo. She's just like Haruhi > perflectly lovable!) Hikari (Special A, but her obliviouness is reaching new levels and starting to annoy me) and etc.

please try naming more than one anime, because I've seen quite a few, and most of the mainstream ones.

Thanks~! :)

  1. try some of these, they're all strong, non-traditional heroines:

    kyoko from skip beat- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=610 [is the annoying, fan girl with no spine in chapter one, but once her heart is broken she becomes a strong female lead for the rest of the series]

    kiri from beauty pop- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=633 [similar to haruchi in that they're both rather indifferent main characters]

    nobara from crimson hero- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=634 [sports manga=tomboy heroine]

    matsuri from matsuri special- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=3336 [female wrestler-does have a bit of the 'i wish that cute guy in my class would like me' characteristic, which i just realized you may find a bit annoying, but she definately isn't a typical shojo manga heroine.]

    himeno from pretear- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=1248 [main character in a fairly maho shojo-type series, but without the usual characteristics. a bit crude and physically strong, himeno isn't the type that falls head-over-heels for a guy in the first chapter...or ever really]

    misaki from kaichou wa maid-sama!- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=2921 [similar to hikari, but not so oblivious]

    kiri from never give up- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=103 [girl who resembles a guy, though she DOES want to be more feminine at times. actually she may become a bit annoying towards later chapters...]

    anna from purikyu- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=1897 [cute, short series. tomboy-ish, tough main character]

    kyo from girl got game (power!)- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=483 [girl sent to play on an all-boys basketball team disguised as a boy]

    misaki from angelic layer- http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=80 [not too sure how to describe her, but she's a rather unannoying main character]

    for more info. on the series go to animenewsnetwork.com

    hope this helps. good luck!!


  2. Saya from Blood + is cool.  She's not too emotional or a b*tch which doesn't annoy me. The anime is finished with 50 episodes and the manga working on its 3rd volume.  It kinda gets gory from time to time but she's my all-time favorite heroine.  Plus it has a sweet ending.

  3. Manga, try:

    Faster than a Kiss - the main character, Fumiko is a tough girl, who suddenly finds herself married to her teacher! Her situation is a bit like Tohru's family life, except she has a little brother to take care of. She does fall for her teacher early but she can't adopt the "cute, loving" wife persona. It's rather funny. She would rather do the protecting than be protected. There's only 4 chapters so far though. Go to one manga or manga fox to read it.

    Kaichou wa Maid-sama! - Misaki is the student council president of a former all-boys school (she does this because she thinks there should be order in the school). She's like Hikari from Special A (except she understands that the guy likes her, she works as a maid in a moe cafe -which completely differs from her tough, strict persona, she is has to work for money-, and she is feared by just about every male in the school). Yes there were some points where she had to be protected (actually just one major one) but she still tends to rely more on herself for protection.

    Penguin Revolution - Fujimaru has the ability to see if someone could be a star. She takes care of herself until one day she finds that one of her classmates is actually a guy! Ryou (the guy) has to crossdress as a girl as a condition in his contract to be a star (BTW: he isn't a known star yet, he just starting out). Fujimaru become his manager and things just go from there. Fujimaru is a happy-go-lucky, go with the flow kind of girl. She definitely doesn't need protection (one of the qualifications as manager is the ability to protect the client without their involvment). So you may like her. She and Ryou do come to realise that they like each other at the same time.

    and lastly Kare Kano - At school, Yukino has top marks in everything, is super reliable, and extremely nice. At home, she's comlpletely opposite. Her only true talent is working hard and her real personality is that she comes first. She only acts the way she does at school because she's an ego maniac who like always being complimented and relied on. She does grow out of her selfishness, though she still remains extremely capible in any situations. She first finds Arima as a threat that must be destroyed but he is attracted to her fake personality. Then he finds out the truth, uses it against her, and becomes attrached to her again. Yukino is not oblivious, weak, nor does she need protection. She's her own woman and blossoms into an incredible person. If life throws her lemons, she'll use it as evidence to go to the police for assault after she verbally rips life to shreds.

    Hope these heroines are to your liking.

  4. I dont watch too many animes or mangas but how about Oboro the princess of Iga Tsubagakure in Basilisk? She is very quiet and has a very gentle disposition. But in the end she does what needs to be done.

  9. All of the girls from Baslisk are awesome..They all kick *** and fight bloody battles to the death.Oboro is starts off very weak because she is relutant to fight against the other ninjas because her fiancee/lover is their leader but she ends up killing a lot of people towards the end because that's her duty. Also, Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho...She's the grim reaper and Yusuke's assisstant on the show. She is strong, smart, independant, and always is very supportive of Yusuke instead of being a loud ***** like Keiko his girlfriend. Botan is the true herione of Yu Yu Hakusho, she should have been with Yusuke....Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop, is awesome too..she is s**y, cunning, and just as tough as Jet and Spike....
