The result is not surprising as all the characters are well-known and most of them are from currently running shows. For Top 10 'Brides', it's not surprising that many Tsunderekko make it to the list. Though it's puzzling to me, many guys seem to like girls with Tsundere personality. I do find Tsunderekko more interesting but they tend to be too bitchy.

Anyway, for Top 10 'Grooms', I'm somewhat happy with the results. Since a few of my favorite male characters are in the list, I have no complaint. The list also shows how popular Gintama and Katekyō Hitman Reborn! are in Japan!



Here's my list of Top 10 'Grooms':

1. Rukawa Kaede - Slam Dunk
2. Kyouya Hibari - Katekyō Hitman Reborn!
3. Gintoki Sakata - Gintama
4. Toushirou Hijikata - Gintama
5. Sougo Okita - Gintama
6. Tamaki Suou - Ouran High School Host Club
7. Fay D. Fluorite - Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
8. Adult Colonello - Katekyō Hitman Reborn!
9. Amano Ginji - GetBackers
10. Natsume Takashi - Natsume Yuujinchou

Oh boy.. it's really hard to rank my favorite male characters. My ranking is based on what I feel and who I like right now. Actually, most of the guys I choose are not exactly 'Husband' material but who cares! (^_~)

So who are your Top 10 'Grooms' and 'Brides'?
