We have to agree that many people like romance. And they like it even more when in anime, the couple stops dragging things out and starts to advance in their relationship. But first, they always kiss to mark the beginning of the romance. So, this list is exactly about that, the best kisses in anime.
It’s a shame that we don’t have many anime like Grancrest Senki or Sword Art Online, where the protagonists take “real man” actions and not those embarrassing attitudes. Unfortunately, the latter are the majority of cases. And among this majority group, few stand out.
For this reason, I selected, based on my opinion and experience, the best kisses in anime. However, the list is limited, but you can always leave your opinion in the comments, complaining if something was missing or agreeing with the list. But anyway, let’s get to the point.

Harutora x Natsume – Tokyo Ravens
Opening the list, one of my favorite anime. Although I waited for more than 20 episodes for the long-awaited scene, it was worth it. However, I have to admit that it left many people wanting more.
We have to admit that that last scene of the two together in bed was epic. I even had to read the light novel of Tokyo Ravens to know what happens next. That ending left several curiosities and questions; I personally was upset for days because of it. That’s why I kept watching that episode several times.
Saito x Louise – Zero no Tsukaima
Of course, I can’t select the first kiss or some random kiss. For this reason, the selected one was the wedding kiss. After all, it sealed the bond and confirmed from the beginning the romance that these two had.
I honestly didn’t like this at all. I would have preferred many times a harem ending rather than a couple. I believe this is the desire for almost everyone who watches anime. It’s a shame that this happens in few cases. But this doesn’t take away the fun and emotion that this kiss at the wedding brought. By the way, the pressure to choose was great; it’s a pity that the directors didn’t work the drama well.
Theo x Siluca – Grancrest Senki
He is the typical protagonist that brings pride. It’s a shame that the anime doesn’t have a story focused on details. But the romance, in fact, the various romances in the anime are well developed and leave very little to be desired. I argue that in the end, there could have been a few more scenes of fanservice, but overall it was satisfactory.
And speaking of which, that scene of the two on that tree trunk, with him declaring his feelings for her, was sensational. The best part was Theo’s attitude; after all, he didn’t follow the cliché of the protagonist being embarrassed. On the contrary, he was incisive and precise with the “I love you” on the tip of his tongue.
Issey x Rias – High School DxD
I personally expected much more romance from this couple in the other seasons. But unfortunately, their kiss at the end of the first season was merely symbolic. Of course, I don’t want to kill the fantasies and impressions of others. But it’s a fact that the romance didn’t progress at all, even after that beautiful kiss scene between this couple.
After all, I believe that in almost all anime, the couple that kisses intentionally always advances the romance. But these two didn’t; despite the well-crafted scene of them escaping in style, they didn’t move to the next level. And it’s almost unanimous that Issei is one of the worst protagonists out there.
Kirito x Asuna – Sword Art Online
Let’s say that among the couples that advanced the most in romance, this is one of them. At least, in this list; after all, there are several other couples that also achieved this feat. But since we are in a list about the best kisses in anime, this topic is not very relevant.
But it’s a fact that the scene of the first kiss between Kirito and Asuna was worthy of an Oscar. Moreover, it was a natural cliché that was used in a natural way. The differential was in the charisma of the characters and the combination of the two that matched so well. This is very difficult to occur; after all, not all couples match as well as this one.
Okabe x Kurisu – Steins Gate
And the kiss of the scientist couple was one of the most anticipated in the anime universe. It may be exaggerated, but the couple from the highest-rated science fiction anime on MAL (My Anime List) made a resounding success.
When two opposites attract, the interaction is mutual. Perhaps this is the reason why this couple matches so well. And the kiss scene with all the life-or-death drama was the best of all the anime I have ever watched. Many people jumped for joy with this scene, myself included. And I believe that anyone who hasn’t watched this anime cannot call themselves an otaku.
Ban x Elaine – Nanatsu no Taizai
Still following that life-or-death drama, one of the couples that deserved an anime just for their story. Yes, Ban and Elaine definitely deserve a spin-off just for them, if there isn’t one already. After all, the story is beautiful, and the kiss scene was one of the best, with all the soundtrack, tension, and conclusion worthy of being called spectacular.
Fortunately, the author of Nanatsu no Taizai seems to realize that the story is good and pays a lot of attention to it, especially in Ban’s story. But going back to the kiss scene, who would have thought that Elaine was so incisive? This is what I call using a cliché the right way. Speaking of which, I watched the anime just to see this story after getting a spoiler on the internet.
Tsukasa x Isla – Plastic Memories
Few anime are as focused on romance as this one. Just kidding, all romance anime are focused on romance; the difference is that this one has a very original plot. After all, it’s not every day that someone falls in love with a machine. Although adding the factor of being a humanoid machine with artificial intelligence changes the scenario.
It’s a shame that the romance doesn’t develop normally; I mean, the two attracting each other, or one trying to win over the other. On the contrary, we have a protagonist without attitude and a girl completely disconnected from affection. But I have to admit that in the end, when things start to move, the kiss scene is heart-stopping for anyone.
Eita x Masuzu – Oreshura
For those who don’t know, this is one of the couples that got together the fastest in anime history. I believe that Hajimete no Gal is also in this classification. But it’s a shame that this is just a theory; in other words, they don’t advance beyond a friendship-like relationship. To better exemplify, they take more than 10 episodes to be able to kiss.
However, haste is the enemy of perfection; that’s why waiting makes everything better. Of course, in some cases, the wait is too much and ends up ruining the work. But in cases like this, the scene delivered is perfect. And it’s one of the few anime where the couple displays affection publicly at the time of the kiss. Besides, I love Masuzu’s character design, which is proportionally perfect.
Naruto x Hinata – Naruto the Last
And to close the list as well as it started, the kiss of the most anticipated couple in anime. Yes, the kiss that took more than a decade to happen, but when it did, there was a movie specifically to tell the story with good romance development. And thanks to this movie, we now have our Boruto.
Of course, Boruto was already planned, but if it weren’t for the movie, it would be much more underestimated. Fortunately, the happy ending of the couple Naruto and Hinata, which was sealed from the beginning of the anime, was beautiful. Just like a good canonical story, with beautiful animation and designs, they made a beautiful kiss scene.
And it’s worth noting that Naruto’s confession to Hinata was several years overdue, since the fight against Pain. But fortunately, it was worth the wait to see that scene. But I still say there could have been more fanservice.
Do you remember other epic kisses?
And these are the best kisses in anime in my humble opinion. Of course, we can always disagree, but to not be totalitarian, I ask you to leave your list in the comments. You can even suggest a future part two.
