Anime Corner: Best Girl of 2023 Ranking

For the past few weeks, Anime Corner users had the opportunity to pick their favorite anime, voice actors, and characters of 2023. After carefully compiling the votes, spread among 30 nominees we finally have the results for the Best Girl of the Season, based on the votes of over 43,000 people – slightly less than the Best Boy polls.

Dangers in My Heart has been sweeping our weekly polls with its second season, and many of us probably forgot that it actually premiered last year. It comes as no surprise that the adorable Anna Yamada ranked first – therefore winning Anime Corner’s title of Best Girl of 2023. Trailing behind her is charismatic Yor Forger, who played an important role in the latest Spy x Family season. The strength and dedication she showed during her arc didn’t go unnoticed by her fans. In third place is Maomao – the shrewd pharmacist who won the hearts of many Apothecary Diaries viewers (and readers). Full results are below

All in all, the competition was harsh, especially in a year that gave us so many woman-focused works and adaptations where even side female characters were written. As always, thank you for voting!
