In this article, we’ll examine some of the most compelling sisters in anime. Sisters in anime have a way of making an impression, whether they are doting on their younger siblings, fighting constantly, or trying to rip each other’s faces off at every opportunity. I’ll focus on one half of the relationship by ranking the top anime sisters. Try to name as many as you can!
Table of Contents
Akari Kawamoto – March Comes In Like a Lion
My heart always softens a little when I witness the oldest sibling take charge of the family’s care when the parents are unable to do so. And that’s exactly what Akira does. She takes care of her two sisters, making them their favorite dishes to lift their spirits, and she even offers to assist Rei when the two of them meet.
Sometimes, despite her role as caretaker, her inner kid emerges. The three sisters were like customers at a restaurant who were given an unlimited supply of toppings. I can’t hate her; she’s too sweet and innocent.
Tamako Kitashirakawa – Tamako Market
The anime sisters Tamako and Anko from the Tamako Market were also strong contenders for the part. To everyone’s delight, we get to spend more time with Tamako because I ultimately decided to go with her. Since their respective anime sibling series are so nicely balanced, I just couldn’t choose between them.
Their relationship is flipped, with Tamako, the older sibling, often thinking abstractly and neglecting to interact with her younger sibling. On the other hand, Anko appears to have more of a firm footing. In addition, you may be curious as to what is beneath those clouds.
There are mochis in every nook and cranny. I admire the fact that they keep in touch with one another and can clearly express their love for one another in their words and actions.
Naomi Tanizaki – Bungou Stray Dogs
Naomi is the younger sister of Jun’ichir Tanizaki from the anime Bungou stary Dogs. A young lady between the ages of 16 and 17, she has dark grey skin, dark grey eyes, and hip-length black hair cut in a side-sweeping style. She wears a typical seifuku consisting of a long skirt that descends far over her knees and black stockings that reach the middle of her calves.
She also has a beauty mark under her left eye. Aside from the hi-jinks she gets up to with her brother, she is a pretty courageous woman. Even though she lacks the necessary skills, she never hesitates to step up and help the department.
Mikasa Ackerman – Attack on Titan
Despite the fact that she is not Eren’s blood relative, they make the ideal sibling pair. She takes her responsibilities as the older sister very seriously despite being only slightly older than the boy who is the raging titan. Half the time, it seems like her only concern is making sure he is safe.
Unfortunately, we hardly ever get to witness their traditional bonding. The world of Attack on Titan is too cruel for such politeness, as God knows. But the cutest moment from that show will always be when Eren is wrapping a scarf around Mikasa.
Tsukuyo – Gintama
Tsukuyo, who was sold to Yoshiwara when she was a little child and became the pupil of courtesan Kamekichi, is considered to be one of the best female characters in the Gintama anime series. She was forced to bear the supervision of Kamekichi because of her lack of compliance. Tsukuyo grew up to loathe Yoshiwara and the people who lived there because she was opposed to the idea of just accepting the life of a courtesan. Yoshiwara was known for its prostitution and its inhabitants were known for their promiscuity.
Tsukuyo’s capacity to defend both Hinowa and Yoshiwara was reawakened when she witnessed Hinowa’s upbeat influence on the other courtesans. This caused her perspective to shift significantly. She confronted Jiraia with the intention of obtaining this wish, and he gave her his word that he would be her mentor and teach her ninja techniques. Tsukuyo then went ahead and scarred her own lip, thereby putting an end to her life as a woman so that she may go in the same path.
Miyuki Shiba – Mahouka Koukou no Rettoussei
Miyuki is perhaps one of the best anime sisters you could ever ask for. She has an unwavering commitment to her brother and a beauty that matches the depth of her dedication to him. Because of the intense love she has for her brother, Tatsuya, she will not even allow another person, much less a man, to come near her. She recoils in horror at the prospect of dating another person.
In a nutshell, it’s almost like she has codependency, but instead of using you to meet her own needs, she puts her whole self into making sure you’re happy and healthy.
You can think of Miyuki as a guardian angel.
Rem – Re Zero
Rem is one of two strange twins with colorful hair who work as maids at Roswaal Manor. Rem will become such a beloved character that she will incite wars between her fans and Emilia-lovers. Rem distrusts Subaru because he killed him in past lives. Rem eventually develops feelings for Subaru.
Subaru is captured by Petelegeuse, and Rem rescues him. She bets her life on this siege, but is tortured and killed. She frees Subaru and confesses her love with her dying breath. Rem’s selfless acts set her apart from her pink-haired sister, Ram (at least in season one). Rem’s love extends beyond her family, bringing relief to those in her care.
Haru Onodera – Nisekoi
We also underestimate the roles that supporting characters play. We tend to ignore the subplots in favor of the main action since our attention is constantly drawn to the protagonists and their plight. Here, we’d like to examine the predicament of a minor character. Haru may not be Raku’s first choice because of her obvious flaws.
While the main plot is being developed, the first part of the anime focuses on Haru’s attempts to dissuade her older sister Kosaki from becoming friends with Raku. Due to a misunderstanding, Haru saw Raku as a villain who wanted to ruin her sister’s good name.
Mirajane Strauss – Fairy Tail
Mirajane is included, but the full Strauss sibling three is adorable. I really enjoy how Mirajane changed following “the incident” and how Elfman restored control at that precise moment. Because in my opinion that demonstrates how much these three value one another. After that, Mirajane changed into such a submissive and gentle person. a mother figure for the whole guild, almost.
However, if someone dared to touch her friends or siblings, she might also go full mother bear mode.
Shiro – No Game No Life
Sister Blank and her brother Sora are the show’s protagonists, and together they make up the deadly gaming team known simply as Blank. While they are equally bright, Shiro is typically the more level-headed and analytical of the two.
They are mutually dependent on each other, and she suffers from a severe case of sibling rivalry. If they are apart for any length of time, one or both of them will experience a nervous breakdown. Despite being legally considered step-siblings, they have a close bond and effectively live as one person, albeit one whose fate is tied to both of theirs.
Theirs is the ideal sibling relationship since they love and are loved by each other unconditionally.
[the_ad id=”178″]Ryuko Matoi – Kill la Kill
Kill la Kill’s secret shock ending shows Ryuko and Satsuki to be sisters. Ryuko and Satsuki strive to kill each other every time they meet, however most of the entries have been chosen for their strong family ties. Ryuko is initially opposed to her and her friend’s horrible school lives and tries to topple the Elite Four. Ryuko adds “bringing down Satsuki” to her to-do list after Satsuki defeats her.
After Satsuki and Ryuko’s mother is revealed as the series’ true villain, the sisters team up to stop her. Ryuko and Satsuki show that sisters who fight together stay together. Watching Ryuko get stronger as she attempts to catch up to Satsuki’s level is typical of a younger sister’s desire to be like her onee-san.
As the season concludes, it’s good to see Satsuki embrace Ryuko as a family member, knowing her arduous trip to Satsuki’s side.
Karen Araragi – Bakemonogatari
Koyomi Araragi’s older sister, Karen Araragi, is also the elder member of the Tsuganoki 2nd Middle School Fire Sisters, known officially as the Tsuganoki Ni-chuu no Faiya Shisutazu. She calls herself a “justice warrior” and often acts out the actions and traits of many different characters from tokusatsu shows.
In spite of this, she maintains a complete lack of interest in the paranormal up until the point where she is the sole survivor of an anomaly. In the anime sequel Wazamonogatari, Koyomi’s older sibling also plays the role of the story’s narrator for one of the story arcs. Her two primary story arcs are called “Karen Bee” and “Karen Ogre,” and her two secondary story arcs are “Karen Arm Leg” and “Karen Brushing.”
Mai Sakurajima – Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai
Nodoka Sakurajima is the younger half-sister of Mai Sakurajima, the protagonist of Bunny Girl Senpai. Their respective moms brought them up to be rivals to one another, which resulted in a relationship that was never especially sisterly between the two of them. Because of Adolescent Syndrome, things go substantially better after they switch bodies, and Mai’s lover Sakuta assists them in negotiating the switch and better understanding each other’s issues.
Kyou Fujibayashi – Clannad
Kyou and Ryou play key roles in Clannad’s first season. We don’t know who he’ll choose from his harem of lovers. Kyou, Ryou’s spunky, abrasive older sister, is a candidate. Kyou is kind and tsundere. She’ll get angry if someone picks on her sister or if Tomoya compliments her. Kyou and Ryou understand they have no chance compared to Nagisa as the season develops, and it’s sad to watch them cry over their rejections.
Clannad’s OVA puts Kyou and Ryou in the spotlight. Tomoya starts dating Ryou after he confesses. Kyou can’t contain her emotions, and the story turns dramatic. Ryou pushes her sister to be with Tomoya after much heartache and remorse. This OVA established Kyou as a great older sister willing to suppress her emotions for her sibling’s happiness. Ryou’s thoughtfulness helps Kyou win over Tomoya.
[the_ad id=”178″]Maki Zenin – Jujutsu Kaisen
Maki is our new Jujutsu sorcerer recruits’ confident senpai. She trains with Toge Inumaki and Panda while assisting others. Maki left home at a young age since she wasn’t cursed. Maki tries twice as hard to ensure she’s not a burden in battle. Maki effortlessly defeats Kasumi utilizing her weapons and battle techniques. Mai is Maki’s twin. Mai still resents Maki and looks down on her.
Mai never got over Maki’s abandonment (Mai not being strong enough to leave of her own accord). Mai is harsh and arrogant; she doesn’t care what others think, unlike Maki. She teases Kugisaki and Megumi over Itadori’s death and calls her weak. Despite insults, Maki prevails almost often. She doesn’t dislike her sister but understands her feelings. She’s Mai’s and the other sorcerers’ big sister.
Kohaku – Dr. Stone
A generation of humans who have no memory of our world is born from the ashes of our civilization after the population of the globe has been turned to stone and the world has descended into the chaotic jungle it once was. Kohaku is one such girl who, thanks to Senku’s scientific brilliance, is rescued and eventually becomes friends with a relic from the world of her ancestors. Kohaku is similar to the rest of these cave dwellers. She is enamored with everything Senku says and makes, yet she often resorts to physical force in an attempt to resolve her issues. Kohaku is vastly distinct than her sick older sister Ruri.
We learn that Kohaku was doing her regular ritual of arranging things to help her sister recover when she accidentally stood in Senku’s way. Kohaku has tremendous loyalty, both to her sister and to the people of her nation. She anticipates pushback from Senku but is unfazed because she has complete confidence in her judgment. Kohaku also adds much-needed strength to an otherwise weak squad composed of numerous timid scientists, an elderly pensioner, and a girl wearing a watermelon on her head.
Nezuko Kamado – Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer)
Nezuko is everyone’s favorite box-bound demon sister. Tanjiro is shocked to learn that his sister is the only survivor after his family is killed by a demon. She’s since become a demon and hunts Tanjiro to eat him. Nezuko comes to her senses in the end and resists the urge to eat her brother. She agrees to control her urges in the hopes that Tanjiro will find a cure and change her back into a human.
Nezuko Kamado has won fans with her cute grunts and personality despite having few lines. She rides on Tanjiro’s back during the day, but she’s no burden. She’s a fighter. Demon Slayer is about sibling love. Nezuko’s actions mirror Tanjiro’s unconditional familial bond. Tanjiro and Nezuko’s best fights show how far they’ll go for each other. Without Nezuko’s Demon Arts support, Tanjiro would not have survived as long with Rui.
Final Thoughts
