Some characters feel like a mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows on a cold winter evening. They feel like a fluffy comforter surrounding you, hanging heavy but pleasant on your shoulders. They don't have a bad bone in their body, their hearts may not be the purest, but they are kind, their intentions are open and straightforward, they're not trying to play games with anyone, and cannot walk away from someone who needs help. These characters feel like a breath of fresh air, unwaveringly kind and wholesome. We've got a list of those. The shows they are in, however, are not always as wholesome as they are, but the contrast makes it even more tangible.
It would be wrong to say that Tohru is the glue that helped fix the severed connections in the Sohma family — but that's exactly how it is. She's extremely kind-hearted and optimistic, always open about her feelings, and polite about others'. People are drawn towards her because she's considerate, doesn't hold grudges, and always sees the good things even in the worst situations. She has a lot of love to share with others — but that's because she can't properly love herself. That, though, is a conversation for another article.
Bojji — Ranking of Kings (Ousama Ranking)
Bojji is small, weak, and deaf, but throughout his whole life, he feels so much love from his family that he can share it with those who surround him now. He's extremely giving, sometimes he's even ready to sacrifice himself and get hurt or ridiculed if it's gonna help someone else. Yet he cannot force himself to hate even those who wronged him, still having affection for those who spent time with him. He's incredibly sincere and kind, and that's what makes him so loveable.
She had to grow up way too early, being the eldest of three sisters and caring for them after losing her mother. She's always ready to help those who are in need — that's exactly how she meets Rei Kiriyama, she just stumbles upon his drunk form and cannot walk away without making sure that he'll be okay. She's one of those mom-coded characters, one that oozes domestic comfort and unconditional love.
She's cheerful and energetic — everything around her excites her. The world is an interesting place, after all, and now she has friends who can help her explore it, even just a small part of it. Sure, her excitement makes her a bit careless and irresponsible, and that puts her in some dangerous situations, like getting lost in the mountains or falling asleep on the floor. But this is a wholesome "cute girls doing cute things"-style anime, so nothing bad will actually happen to her. And she actually becomes more responsible in the second season, still retaining her cheerfulness and bounciness.
She may seem too childish for her age, and that comes not only from her liking cute things and giving people cute nicknames. Her worldview is a bit naive, but that doesn't make her less perceptive and able to catch things that other members of the team miss. However, she is still considered one of the less intelligent members of the team, and she often gets anxious because of that and feels that she's useless.
Iruma Suzuki — Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun)
A kid who was sold to a demon king by his parents and ended up in a demon world as his heir to the throne is an absolute sunshine. He was just a cowardly human at first, but through the course of the show, he becomes a powerful demon who never loses his humanity and always cares about his friends and his surroundings. He's the type of character that you just want to see happy and wish the best for him — and he deserves it.
The strongest people usually have two paths: they either flaunt their power or stay humble. Shigeo Kageyama (or Mob) belongs to the second category: he uses his abilities only when they're needed to help someone get rid of an evil spirit, but never for entertainment or establishing dominance. He's pure, has strong morals, and his main goal is to make people around him understand their worth. Every single character in Mob Psycho has changed after meeting Mob — his presence truly heals.
Madoka is the sweetest girl in the show. She's kind, sometimes to a fault, and she's always ready to help others, even if it doesn't end well. She's a gentle and respectful girl, shy but level-headed. After becoming a magical girl she gains much more confidence in her actions, becomes less anxious, and uses this newly gained power to help those who need it. And it's her kind heart, full of love for those who share her burden, that helps her resolve the conflict of the show.
Tanjiro literally disarmed an enemy with the pureness of his heart. He's not up for debate, he needs to be on this list. Everything he does is because he has someone to protect, to help, to get out of the perilous situation, and he does that without thinking about himself. Some think that his behavior is too naive and childish, but hey, he is a child. Let him be kind-hearted for just a bit longer.
Orihime is one of those characters in Bleach who doesn't have offensive abilities due to her lack of killing intent, so she uses whatever she can to make a shield and protect those who are under attack. She often sympathizes with her enemies and even heals them and protects them when they stop posing a threat to her and her party. And even jealousy didn't make her bitter — she hated herself for feeling jealous and not the person who invoked these feelings! She stays kind even if the world becomes too cruel.
They just feel like a warm hug.
