Are there hasubendo or waifu characters that you non-ironically like for some aspect of personality, motivation and/or action in the show and only then for looks, attractiveness or falling into some of your fetishes in the opposite or your own gender?

I unironically read all that smut for the plot.

I like revy becuase she's stubborn, bloodthirsty, brave, cynical, genocidal, loud, loyal, rude, ruthless, short-tempered, tomboy and violent. which is odd because all my normal waifus are sweet and heartfelt.
Revy just has something special you know.

Apologies up front in case I'm misunderstanding something but I define waifus and husbandos as characters that one professes a romantic and/or sexual attraction towards, keyword: or. So I don't see why liking a waifu/husbando for reasons other than their looks would conventionally be considered 'ironic' in the first place.

The way I see it, most anime characters range from very attractive to super attractive. And at that point, attractiveness doesn't matter so much. So I don't think attractiveness is what one should solely take into consideration when choosing a waifu/husbando. I chose my waifu Rika because I loved her as a character first and only then did I decide to claim her as my waifu.

Leaving aside that romantic or sexual attraction isn't necessarily related to looks alone, no, waifu or hasubendo doesn't determine WHY you're fascinated by these characters.

I love girls with gentle personality, strong values but feminine and girly. If they have those attribute, looks won't matter hence why I love Chika from Warudo Toriga.


I mean, looks-wise she's so not my type, she's short, flat chest, short hair, eyes too big.

My point is that the term waifu or hasubendo only means that you like the character very much. It is not necessary that you like them because of their attractive appearance.

Yuuji Kazami might be a hitman since young age, but still absolutely hates killing.

Chika is easily the best character in this show. I absolutely loved her development. They have learned to fear the Amatori Cannon.

Eh... literally any anime character i have a crush on there's more to them than just looks

Now sure there are anime characters i just find hot and drool over, but if they don't have other aspects to them that make me like them as a character then they're not hasubendo materiel

You know, having an 18+ rating allows for a kind of relationship dynamics that you cannot just convey otherwise.
A mere kiss doesn't hit anywhere near as much as a 3 chapter long sexy time.
But they can definitely fall into a trap of focusing too much on it, those just feel like they stop the plot for fanservice.
In the good ones that's a necessary part of the plot.
And like I've read a manhwa where there wasn't any sexy action for like 70 chapters in a row.
