This page is intended to be a fully comprehensive, historical list of all characters that I have considered to be my boyfriends TM, now or in the past, even if they don't have a page yet or aren't my main focus in that series. Organized by alphabetical series name, and then by (approximate) level of importance within each series. This will probably take me forever, so I better get started now!!

Characters listed here have passed either one or both of these criteria: 1.) I have drawn self-insert art with them, or 2.) I have discussed a self-insert scenario with my S/I bestie. There are definitely other characters I've got a thing for, but they will have to be catalogued on a separate page to be added at a later date!

♡ Korosensei | January 2015

Korosensei is a character I hold very close to my heart...! He is the one I credit with helping me to be comfortable with self-shipping in the first place. I dabbled with this stuff when I was younger, then started to hide it and bottle it up throughout junior high and high school. But he was the first character I started calling my boyfriend again and drawing/writing about us as an adult (or well, older teenager anyway lol). He was also the first of many Matsui Yuusei characters who would change my life!! I love you Korosensei!!

Blue Lock

♡ Hyoma Chigiri | November 2022

He is so beautiful. Is this allowed?? It's been quite a while since Blue Lock was my main focus but I still look at him and get a little overwhelmed. Like... he's so pretty that it feels actually dangerous. I like him as a character too of course but I can't seem to talk about anything other than how pretty he is LOL...

♡ Jinpachi Ego | November 2022

I go into Blue Lock, which is filled with innumerable crazy hot guys, and I say "look at the ugly one with a bad attitude," as I am wont to do. He is far from the only guy I liked in this franchise but there was something especially exciting (?!) about him being unlikable and of a different position than everyone else, and I latched onto him quite a bit.

♡ Meguru Bachira | November 2022

Bachira was the first Blue Lock boy to pique my interest - I thought he was really cute, and I do still like him, but my intense crush on him faded away a lot quicker than I expected to. I mean I still would. But it did surprise me how short of a phase it was!!

♡ Kokichi Ouma (DRV3) | August 2024 | Main page here

I haaaaate this guy!! He's so evil and annoying. I avoided playing the third game for quite a while because I knew that I would get obsessed with him, and I was right. He loves to torture my S/I, the Ultimate Matchmaker. They are not good for each other at all but they are, unfortunately, inseparable once he gets his claws into her.

♡ Kazuichi Souda (SDR2) | November 2024

I played the first two games many many years ago, and decided to rewatch a playthrough of SDR2 after I finished DRV3 for the first time. I never had super strong feelings about Souda the first time I played, but as I was designing my S/I for the second game (Ultimate Toymaker), I realized they would be a really fun pairing of characters, so I just kind of pivoted in that direction. He lowkey sucks but he has pink hair and shark teeth and that counts for something in my book.

♡ Kiibo (DRV3) | August 2024

Kiibo is really very sweet, and cute...!! I like him a lot haha. While Ouma is my main choice of boy for V3, I think that my S/I and Kiibo are actually much better for each other, lol... I think that they like each other quite a lot, and that if Ouma had not decided to get in the way and mess with both of them for fun that they might have ended up together and been quite happy.

♡ Asu | June 2020

Asu!!! My beloved!! It's been a hot minute since Dorohedoro was my main thought but I should really reread it soon. I love my short king devil husband. He's such an asshole!! You love to see it!! My S/I is a sorcerer with the ability to turn people into animals. She trains with Asu to become a devil and they fall in love along the way ^_^

♡ Kasukabe | June 2020

When I first got into Dorohedoro I really couldn't decide which guy I was into, and I ended up writing a lot of stories with my S/I and Kasukabe before I eventually settled on pairing her with Asu. He is still super fine tbh... I like the angle of him wanting to cut her open and do experiments on her because she is a sorcerer lol.

Dr. Stone

♡ Asagiri Gen | April 2021

My beloved mentalist...!! I really really love him so much. He's a great character. I adore his interactions with everyone else and his slightly skeevy but always well-intentioned personality... his self-declared selfishness and ability to twist people into doing what he wants is a huge bonus of course. And he's the perfect mix of both cool and cute... my S/I starts out being very put off by him, but she can't stay away forever, and she gets caught up in his pull.

♡ Laios Touden | February 2024 | Main page here

I was actually really surprised by how much I liked Laios...!! I didn't expect to come out of Dungeon Meshi with any characters I was interested in, actually. It was around episode four that I was like... wait a minute. Something is happening here. My S/I is a mushroom girl that lives in the dungeon. Laios takes a liking to her in some way or another, so she ends up following the group around, and he sometimes slices her up and eats parts of her (she is into this). Love is beautiful.

Ensemble Stars!!

♡ Tori Himemiya | February 2023 | Main page here

My S/I for the Enstars series is fine's producer, so she gets to spend a lot of time with Tori... for better or worse!! They butt heads with each other for quite a while, but once that period of time is over, they actually become really lovey-dovey and crazy about each other.

♡ Wataru Hibiki | February 2023

Wataru is so!! Gah!! He's so tall and pretty and loud and annoying and sweet and nice and -- well, anyway, I like him a whole lot... enough that it's quite embarrassing. And as fine's producer, I get to - have to? - spend a lot of time with him. He makes me so flustered I want to explode sometimes, but he's also an amazing source of comfort as well.

♡ Nazuna Nito | January 2023

Nazuna was the first Enstars boy I fell for!! I still really, really, really like and adore him...!! I love you forever Nii-chan!! Tori kind of showed up and swept up all of my attention, but Nazuna is so very dear to me!

♡ Izumi Sena | January 2023

Izumi you freak!!!! Oh my god he is so gorgeous and his voice makes me melt and did I mention he's a little freak. I am shallow but I am not immune to him okay.

♡ Yuzuru Fushimi | February 2023

To be honest, Yuzuru is very low on my priority list (sorry bestie)...!! He's on here because sometimes I like to think about situations with both him and Tori and my S/I. He's very kind and I respect him a lot though!!

♡ Yoshitake Shiraishi | September 2023 | Main page here

A worm of a man!! He is nothing to me!! And I do not harbor dreams of getting married to him one day. That would be absurd. My S/I is a young American woman who relocates along with her family to Japan after the San Francisco earthquake. She ends up running into Shiraishi and tags along with the core group for about a week, but she keeps thinking about him even after they part ways... eventually, he comes back to her town after canon events and they get married.

♡ Otonoshin Koito | September 2023

Possibly the cutest man to exist on this or any other planet? I had two different friends tell me that I would Really Like him when I was starting the series and they were correct. I have an insane weakness for characters who are obsessed with someone so I lost the war the second I saw him screaming and clawing at the ground over Tsurumi. I know I didn't get my skull blown open but please Koito give me a chance. I want him like crazy.

♡ Yasaku Edogai | September 2023

He was made for me. That's all there is to it. I basically lost my mind as soon as I got to his introduction. I treasure him and he is everything to me. "Why are there no reader insert fics for the human taxidermist?" - quote that has never been uttered by anyone, ever, until the month of September 2023

♡ Arisato Kazuma | October 2023 | Main page here

I played this game as a joke, but that didn't stop me from getting attached - which I really should have seen coming in retrospect, because a source being stupid never stops me. Arisato is a very kind boy who gets tortured horribly at every turn for no good reason at all. I would like to save him from it, but the truth is that we would probably just end up getting tortured together instead. Oh well! At least he wouldn't be suffering alone anymore.

♡ Lucifer | December 2025

If you're surprised to see this mfing series on this list well guess what I Am Too. My friend had me watch it with her and admittedly I had a lot of fun with it. What I am NOT having fun with is this stupid thing. I find it annoying and repulsive... it make me upset... I do not like it. He's very annoying and has a thing for stuffed animals which I do NOT find charming in any way don't get it twisted. Why do you have rosy pink cheeks. Grown-ass man...

Invader Zim

♡ Lard Nar | 2010

I was crazy into Invader Zim as a kid and I had a whole mess of OCs for it, but my main character was my darling girl Ari. She had a lot of lore and an overarching plotline where she joins the Resisty and falls in love with Lard Nar and they get marrieeeeed and have a test tube baby together. Haven't though about him in years but he must be honored here properly for all the time I spent thinking about the two of them.

♡ Zel | April 2024 | Main page here

My real boy from this stupid series. I like him a whole lot, unfortunately!! My S/I is a human girl named Violet who starts out hating his guts and everything he stands for. She thinks he's gross and vile and evil and it takes a while for her to give him a chance.

♡ Kanchal | April 2024

This is kind of a silly one tbh. But what am I supposed to do. I see a short, semi-annoying man and that's it. I think I make him a little more sarcastic and jaded than he really is, but I think that's a cute contrast to his squishy appearance. In my head he's a kind of pervy guy in his late 20s who likes to say he's a jerk and doesn't care about people, but actually does. My S/I Violet is really attached to him for some reason... He's also rooting for her and Zel to cut the crap and get together already.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

♡ Joseph Joestar | 2018

Joseph (more specifically, old Joseph from Part 3) has a really special place in my heart! He was probably one of the first characters with whom I put a LOT of time and effort into thinking abogut our relationship. Even though it's been so long I'm still very fond of my sweet old husband!!

♡ Narancia Ghirga | Early 2019

I love Narancia so much!! I didn't fall for him when I initially read the manga, but when the anime came out, I realized I liked him a lot more than I originally thought. Weirdly enough, I had both a self-ship with him as well as a ship with a completely original OC - I'm not sure if that's ever happened with another boy before! I had a lot of emotional moments with him and I still care for him a lot.

♡ Hirose Koichi | 2018

I loooove Koichi!! I haven't been crazy into Jojo for quite a few years, but there was a time when it was all I could think about, and he was one of my absolute favorite characters. I never understood people who called him annoying because I just always thought he was such a delight. I like Yuki Kaji a lot as a seiyuu and that's mostly because of Koichi!! He was the perfect mix of cute + cool to me, and I always end up liking characters like that.

♡ Melone | Early 2019

Melone is the type of character that I fell for very quickly, but I kept finding more and more reasons to like him as time went on. Most of my ship with him takes place in a college AU my friend and I share, but he also had a bit of a spotlight in a Doppio-focused AU as well. I like to make him a little freak. I never really had a lot of emotional connection to him, but godddd do I like him.

♡ Toshikazu Hazamada | Early 2019

I had to guesstimate based on the first messages I could find where I mentioned him. Hazamada was kind of a late addition to my large collection of Jojo boys; I have this complex where I end up falling for unpopular characters, and I guess that's what happened here. At first this ship was very tense and kind of dark, but it softened up a lot over time, and now he feels kind of cozy to me...

One Piece

♡ Buggy the Clown | January 2025 | Main page here

I hate him, the world hates him, my S/I hates him. Ugly clown with nothing to offer anyone!! I want to kick him into the ocean and watch him sink like a stone!!! .... Unfortunately he is also my S/I's quote-unquote 'canon' man. Think Spy vs. Spy or Tom and Jerry cartoon violent antics with crazy sexual tension. Sometimes they accidentally show each other affection or vulnerability and then they have to punch each other in the teeth to set things back to normal.

♡ Portgas D. Ace | February 2025

This was an accident... it took me completely by surprise. I had no idea that I would catch feelings for him, but around the time I was reading Impel Down and Marineford I got a bad feeling that something would happen to make me go crazy over him. And that it did. I probably characterize him completely differently than anybody else on the planet but that's okay. He is in my brain...

♡ Monkey D. Luffy | January 2025

Luffy sorry that I ever doubted you, sorry I didn't think One Piece was actually going to be good, sorry I made fun of the art style, sorry I thought you were going to be boring, I know better now, sorry it took me this long to realize you are everyone in the world's best friend I love you. I love you.

♡ Tony Tony Chopper | January 2025

Chopper was, I think, the only major character in One Piece I knew that I expected something to happen with. I have a history of really liking fuzzy little creatures and there's a non-zero chance I used to have a crush on him when I was a kid, I genuinely can't remember. He has gotten the least attention from me now that I'm actually reading it and I've gotten distracted by other guys, but he is still counted among my S/I's relationships in one way or another. Zoan users stay winning!!

♡ Leo | April 2025

This one is SOOOOOOO silly. Help me. But I love him. He's so cute and tiny... and he's also very brave!! And cool!! And I think Tontattas' little tails are so cute... okay sorry I got distracted. I think I had a teensy crush on him while reading Dressrosa but I ignored it because I felt silly. But then they added him to OPBR and I main him now and I had to come to terms with it. Tontatta love... Tontatta violence... Leo sweep.

♡ Koby | April 2025

Koby was assigned to me by my friend when I asked her which OP boys I should look out for. I was like 'yeah that adds up, he's pink and cute, totally my type!' And then nothing happened for four months until I saw this panel of him to the left and I went CRAZYYYY. Also whenever I play One Piece Bounty Rush the people who play Koby always either kill me or protect me and it's really embarrassing and it's giving me a Koby complex lately.

♡ Dellinger | January 2025

Technically I liked him from way before I started One Piece because a friend showed him to me, and I was like 'I have no idea who this is but he's so fine'. He only has like 5 minutes of screentime which is quite disappointing LOLLLL. But he's still super hot even if I have pirate boyfriends I care about more now.

♡ Hifumi Oshibu | November 2025

Oh my God. This came on Very strongly and Very quickly. HE'S SO HOT ahem ahem okay excuse me. I find him very very interesting and unfortunately every part of his character is super hot to me. He's so creepy!! And there's so much room for evil insinuations and implications. So of course I immediately made a very uncomfortable and upsetting S/I situation to take advantage of all that. His fascination with youth is prime real estate for me to daydream about twisted scenarios. I liek him a lot ^_^

And he takes it out on meeeeeee!!! He kidnapped me because he was #bored and luckily ended up taking a liking to me. I love him sooooo much. ♡

I think he's so sweet and kind and brave and I love that he is so unapologetic about who he is, as well as what and who he loves, and how he loves them. He just makes me soooo!! Kicks my legs!!! He's my super specialest boy ever.

♡ Swerve (MTMTE) | August 2015

I liked a looooot of characters in MTMTE, though to be honest the emotional intensity of the love has waned a bit just because it's been So Long since I read it. And Swerve was less my boyfriend per se, but rather the love interest I decided on for my TFOC Rover. I'm honestly not sure why I picked Swerve - maybe I just thought they'd get along? But I do adore him a lot all the same! He's a great character and so funny, like a lot of MTMTE bots.

Jaden...!! My YGO one and only...!! Somehow despite loving him so very much and for so long, I still have not made a page for him on this site. I do however have my old one that I've linked above! Jaden is my super special awesome boyfriend and I love him sooooooo much...!! Even if I've been neglecting Yugioh as a whole lately I will love him forevers. He really means a lot to me. ♡

♡ Kaito Tenjou (Zexal) | June 2022

Kaito is a really engaging character to me!! Though I love every single character in Zexal so that's not surprising. He's so cool... sighs. He actually makes me very nervous and anxious and I don't know if he would like me back, but I admire him from afar, I guess...

♡ Maximillion Pegasus (DM) | March 2020

I had a crush on him when I was a little kid. I still have a crush on him as an adult. Time is a circle!! He was the first YGO character I made a self-insert for but quickly got overshadowed by the next several guys who appealed to me. But he is iconic and I'm not normal about Toon cards thanks to him.

♡ Crow Hogan (5D's) | April 2022

Although I was enjoying 5D's when watching it, it also felt very slow to me, and I never ended up finishing it... that being said, I watched enough to develop a little bit of a crush on Crow. He's very cool and handsome and my S/I is a flighty mechanic who hates his guts (aka wants him carnally). I only ever drew her one time LOL.

♡ Takamine Kiyomaru | August 2025

I debated his place on here because I thought it was too early to say anything, but... I really like him OTL. This susprised me a lot. Like, there's nothing exceptionally special about him...? But I keep thinking about him a lot for some reason. >_>; I can't resist tsukkomi characters and Kiyo is as tsukkomi as it gets. I think it's really funny when he gets mad or annoyed, but then he turns around and he'll say or do some of the kindest and most meaningful things ever. I had to admit myself that there's some kind of crush going on here...
