Kaguya-Sama: Love is War is a rom-com seinen anime series starring the wealthy heiress Kaguya Shinomiya and the student council president Miyuki Shirogane, who are far more than fellow students at the Shuchiin Academy. They are also fierce love rivals, and each wants to trick the other into making a love confession first.

It's easy to see what drew Kaguya to Miyuki. Clearly, she likes people who are hardworking and disciplined, as well as generous, empathetic, kind and decisive. Miyuki is an ace student with the warm heart of an everyday hero, and if he weren't around, Kaguya-Sama fans can use him as a reference to see who else Kaguya should date instead. She needs the next Miyuki, but who should it be?

10 Futaro Uesugi Can Study Hard, Too (The Quintessential Quintuplets)

Miyuki Shirogane is a hardworking student who prioritizes studying over all else, and that puts him in good company. Kaguya could also meet Futaro Uesugi, a hardworking high school student who, like Miyuki, makes up for his family's lack of money with perfect grades. That's why he was asked to tutor the five Nakano sisters.

Futaro is an ace student, but he is also a kind and generous boy who always puts the needs of others first, including his little sister and the Nakanos, which Kaguya would greatly appreciate. Futaro won't rest until those sisters realize their true potential, and after a tutoring session, he'd gladly ask Kaguya out.

9 Yuki Sohma Is Cool & Polite (Fruits Basket)

Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket

At school, there is an entire fan club dedicated to the ultra-popular Yuki Sohma, though Yuki finds much more validation in helping people than basking in glory and praise. Yuki wants to earn everything he has, and he won't coast on his popularity or good looks. He's not that shallow.

Instead, Yuki is an everyday hero who will gladly help anyone in need, including the troubled Machi and his fellow Sohmas. No doubt Kaguya would greatly admire Yuki for this, and if Yuki doesn't end up with Machi, he and Kaguya could go out instead. Tohru would be happy for them.

8 Keith Claes Is Loyal & Smart (My Next Life As A Villainess)

keith claes 1

Keith Claes is the foster brother of the villainess Katarina Claes, and when Katarina was reborn as an isekei heroine, she brought out the best in Keith. Instead of bullying him, she loved him as family, and Keith became a confident and happy boy who realized his potential.

Keith is skilled at magic and is a fairly good student, and he is also a gracious gentleman who can schmooze it up with high society and provide a shoulder to cry on. Kaguya Shinomiya would love to be his partner at the next ball and get to know him better. He'd be like a prince in her eyes.

7 Izuku Midoriya Is Brave & Responsible (My Hero Academia)

When it comes to paperwork and running a student council, Kaguya Shinomiya would rather spend time with the bookish Tenya Iida or the brilliant Momo Yaoyorozu, but she would like them as friends, not dates. If she wanted a boyfriend from Class 1-A, she'd try Izuku Midoriya first.

Izuku, like Miyuki, has a strong sense of responsibility and will drop anything he's doing to help another person without hesitation, and Kaguya loves that in a partner. It also helps that Izuku is a serious student but also has a fun and carefree side, which would be refreshing in her eyes. She could stand to catch Izuku's infectious charm.

6 Takumi Usui Is An Enticing Mystery (Maid-Sama!)

Tamaki Usui eating (Maid Sama!).

Takumi Usui is popular at Seika high, since the boys see him as a role model and the girls see him as a handsome prince. He is also rather mysterious, generally avoiding personal questions while gently teasing everyone around him and having fun. But if things get serious, Takumi won't hesitate to stand up for a friend.

This is what drew the hotheaded Misaki Ayuzawa to him, and she and Takumi used teasing insults and mind games as a form of flirting, which is almost akin to Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. Takumi would recognize Kaguya as a very special girl, and he would definitely make time for her and later, open up to her. Kaguya would be swept right off her feet.

5 Keitaro Urashima Is Humble & Works Hard To Achieve His Goals (Love Hina)

Keitaro Urashima is goofier and more prone to pratfalls and misunderstandings than Miyuki Shirogane, but he has a good heart, and like Miyuki and Futaro, Keitaro knows the value of discipline, studying and setting realistic goals. Keitaro's big dream -- to pass the entrance exams and get into the University of Tokyo.

Keitaro gets flustered rather easily, but he means well and has a strong sense of responsibility and duty at the Hinata Inn. Anytime there isn't a serious misunderstanding going on, Keitaro can also be wonderfully empathetic, supportive and altruistic, traits that Kaguya prizes in any date.

4 Nariyuki Yuiga Studies Hard To Support His Family (We Never Learn)

Nariyuki Yuiga, Futaro Uesugi and Miyuki Shirogane are like three identical brothers separated at birth. Like the other two, Nariyuki Yuiga is a humble but hardworking boy who uses his excellent studying skills as his best bet to get into college and support his impoverished family. Saving money and studying mean everything to him.

Nariyuki is rather dense when it comes to matters of the heart, but he can still be a helpful and emphatic person who will never abandon a friend in need, and Kaguya can respect that. She's smart enough to make her feelings very clear if she wants to, and even the dense Nariyuki would soon realize that he means a lot to her.

3 Alphonse Elric Is Smart & Kind (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

Clearly, Kaguya Shinomiya is drawn to smart, responsible boys who are closely attuned to the feelings and needs of others, and she would love to meet Alphonse Elric the alchemist, too. Al isn't a traditional high school student, but he does love books and science, and his sharp mind would definitely impress Kaguya.

Al has more than book smarts on his side, though. He is also a polite, charming and friendly fellow who can get along with just about anyone, and he also has the brave, selfless spirit of a hero. He even likes animals, usually cats. He and Kaguya could have a wonderful night out in Central together.

2 Ryuji Takasu Is Friendly & Empathic (Toradora!)

Ryuji Takasu has an unearned reputation for being a scary delinquent, mostly because he has the face of one. His narrow, intense eyes terrify everyone around him, but in reality, Ryuji is a gentle boy who lives with his adoring single mother and their pet parakeet, Inko. Ryuji wouldn't harm a fly.

Ryuji isn't an ace student, but he can look after himself. He has a strong sense of responsibility at home and at school, and he will do absolutely anything for a friend or a lover. It's easy to like him once someone sees past his scary face, and Kaguya Shinomiya would cherish Ryuji for who he really is.

1 Uryu Ishida Is Smart And Protects His Friends (Bleach)

Uryu Ishida is a talented Quincy archer, and his cool, polite personality would appeal to many anime girls who want a serious and mature boyfriend. Uryu is many things -- a citizen of Karakura Town, one of the last human Quincy, Ichigo's friend/rival, and for a time, a member of the Wandenreich as well.

When he's not fighting Hollows, Uryu is an ace student who looks after his friends, and he is also confident in his sewing skills, a hobby he picked up at some point. Kaguya would see Uryu as Miyuki with a spirit bow and arrow, and that's good enough for her.
