The results for Anime Corner’s Best Boy of the Year for 2021 are finally here, and it may not come as a surprise to many that Izumi Miyamura from Horimiya took the top spot. Miyamura won over 5% of the votes cast by 91,744 people. Similar to the Best Girl poll, nominees were picked from the seasonal polls – top 10 from each season. If a nominee ranked more than once, we included the characters that ranked after 10th place.
Kyo Soma, from the highly popular Fruits Basket, ranked second, followed by everyone’s favorite Flame Hashira in 3rd place. Attack on Titan’s Eren Jeager may not fit the definition of the “best boy” but he came in 4th, followed by Levi. Rimuru is the top-ranked slime on the list, with Tanjiro Kamado right behind him in 7th place. Rudy came in 8th, followed by Subaru (Re:Zero), and The Duke of Death.
