Boyfriend

The long-anticipated companion piece to 7 Horrible Girlfriends!  So now let's tackle one of the less savory character archetypes in shōjo anime: the horrible, yet pitiable, boyfriend.  Usually said boyfriend crops up as a bad-boy love interest who treats the protagonist like crap. Usually his awful behavior is explained because if only his girlfriend understood his dark suffering she'd realize why he lashes out the way he does. He just needs someone to take care of him! Her love can heal him if she just tried harder! 8. Arima (His and Her Circumstances)  Arima suffers from a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde scenario, but fortunate for himself and his girlfriend, Dr. Jekyll is winning.  His own insecurities (and believe me, almost every entry on this list suffers from some sort of ruined-childhood-insecurity problem) about his pedigree lead to fear of abandonment which in turn, causes him to lash out at those around his girlfriend, Yukino.&nbs

For those unfamiliar with this character, Usui Takumi is the male protagonist of the popular shoujo anime, Kaichou wa Maid-sama. His personality is rather passive and patient, preferring to observe instead of taking any action. Here's a list of 10 reasons to love this anime guy, take a look and you’ll figure out why so many people consider him to be the perfect boyfriend. 1.

Then, he surprises you by showcasing his cooking talents. If you’re still not surprised, he demonstrates an impressive ability in combat. Then he whips out a musical instrument and begins playing it perfectly. 3. He will pu

It’s that age old conundrum… Whether to play Grand Theft Auto, or help your girlfriend out of her clinging leather catsuit and head to the bedroom. Wait, surely that isn’t actually a hard decision at all? Allegedly, a woman who donned an alluring catsuit to tempt her boyfriend with sexy selfies has dumped him after he rejected her to play video games. Here’s how it went down. He spurns her invitation, suggesting his curvy Xbox controller is more attractive. She puts the moves on him trying to change his mind. But he responds brutally, just sending a snap of his Grand Theft Auto V box. The woman sent the photos to Dude Comedy explaining this was the last straw after her inattentive boyfriend had been getting on her nerves. Suspicious readers have suggested maybe it could all be a publicity stunt because really, is anyone that stupid? But the website insisted it is real, posting this correspondence: While there’
