1. Hinata Shouyou - Haikyuu!! Ranking number 10 on the list, Shouyou has a few qualities that might seem to be obstacles to his ability to be a devoted boyfriend. For example, he's totally and completely obsessed with volleyball, and he's proud to eat, sleep, and breathe it! Let's think about this, though. If this boy can care so much about a game, imagine what will happen the first time he meets a girl and really falls for her. He may seem a little immature at the moment, but just give those hormones a few more years to catch up to his sports adrenaline. Plus, if we're going on looks, who could resist this sweet, ginger ball of positivity?
2. Shinra Kishitani - Durarara!! Anyone familiar with "Durarara!!" is probably screaming "wait, wait, wait!" right about now. Everyone knows Shinra is with Celty in the show. Let us suspend our disbelief for a moment, and imagine that he's a free agent. Shinra has the kind of love that borders on obsession. Once he latches onto someone, he's with them for life. If you could somehow fascinate him enough to be the one he falls in love with, Shinra would - for lack of a better word - worship you for the rest of your lives. If you're looking for someone you never have to worry about divorcing, Shinra is the one.
3. Ichijou Raku - Nisekoi Raku can at first seem like your average, rambunctious teenager. But underneath that quite "normal" exterior is a boy who has been pining away for lost love for several years of his life. As a child, Raku met the girl of his dreams, and has only one keepsake to remember her by now, but he keeps it on his person at all times and is constantly on the lookout for that girl. Even with other women he is sure he doesn't like, he is self-sacrificing and extremely protective. Raku is the classic image of a truly good guy, and if you capture his heart, he'll never let you go.
4. Makoto Tachibana - Free! Makoto (Mako for short) would make any respectable list of the best anime boyfriends. Of the five boys who make up the core character list of "Free!" Makoto is the kindest, most sensitive, and most selfless. He shows a propensity early on for being a sort of mothering character, looking after Haru in the absence of his parents. He is also the first and only character to utter the coveted phrase "I love you," a rare occurrence for any anime, as most fans will know. Also, Mako takes precious time out of his day to pet kittens. There's really no other reason required.
5. Tamaki Suou - Ouran Koukou Host Club Coming in at a strong first place on this list is Tamaki Suou from "Ouran High School Host Club," who has spent the past several years of his life essentially practicing to be the perfect boyfriend. He co-founded the host club of his high school, which is literally a club where girls come to be treated nicely by boys (hosts). If you're unfamiliar with the anime, this might sound like a sneaky way of snagging girls, but Tamaki's intentions are truly genuine. He wants to show women a good time because he's kind and they deserve it, and he wanted to build a close friendship with the other members of the host club. He's so clueless about actual love that he doesn't realize his soulmate is before his eyes, even though he has all required wooing skills under his belt. It's hard to resist someone as charming and sweet as Tamaki.
