With habits and actions resembling cats, including cat ears and tails, these 7 'cat waifus' are adored by anime fans, just like Komi-san.
Komi-san Wa Comyushou Desu is currently a highly acclaimed anime in the fall of 2021. One of its key successes is the well-built 'cat waifu' Komi-san, an incredibly beautiful girl regarded as a 'goddess' by the characters in the anime. However, the truth is that Komi lacks in communication to the extent that she cannot talk to anyone. Nevertheless, Komi still wants her third year of high school to be enjoyable and to have 100 friends.
In Komi-san Wa Comyushou Desu, every time she's happy or excited, Komi will 'grow' two adorable cat ears. It's this charming trait that has captured the hearts of many viewers even though she doesn't use any words or communication. In the anime world, before the arrival of Komi-san, these 7 'cat waifus' were also highly favored by fans. Let's take a look!
Toujou Koneko - Highschool DxD
In the famous anime Highschool DxD, we also have a cat girl, Koneko, also known as Shirone. This white-haired waifu is actually a Nekomata - a cat demon with two tails, famous in Japanese folklore. With a petite figure and a slightly 'disdainful' face, Koneko has earned the affection of many fans, even though she may not be as eye-catching as Rias or Akeno, two other famous characters in Highschool DxD.
Hanekawa Tsubasa - Monogatari Series
Hanekawa Tsubasa is a character in the renowned anime series Monogatari. She is a gentle, talented individual admired by friends. Following certain events, a alter ego named 'Hanekawa Black' emerges within Tsubasa. When this persona takes control, Tsubasa's body transforms into a 'tigress' with silver-white hair and a personality entirely opposite to the familiar Tsubasa. It can be said that the 'cat waifu' and her diverse personality are the major highlights of the Monogatari Series.
Neferpitou - Hunter X Hunter
Neferpitou is the highly famous cat character in the anime Hunter X Hunter. She is the Royal Guard of the Chimera Ant King and the one who killed Kite, leading to Neferpitou's death and Gon's painful transformation. Although Neferpitou is an antagonist, her insane appearance and devoted personality have garnered immense love from the audience.
Nakano Azusa - K-On!
Similar to Komi, Nakano Azusa is just an ordinary person, but she often exhibits cat-like actions or expressions. In one episode, Azusa dressed up as a cat, and the result resonated warmly with fans. To this day, it remains one of the details that has garnered much affection from the audience.
Hijirikawa Cyan - Show By Rock!!
Cyan takes on the role of the main character in the anime Show By Rock!!, bringing a refreshing energy and irresistible charm that can melt even the iciest hearts. Cyan has successfully won over the hearts of anime fans, even the most discerning ones.
Blair - Soul Eater
A black cat fused with the image of a witch, that's what audiences remember about Blair. With mischievousness, a touch of devilish charm, and a hint of allure, Blair, the Cat Witch, has garnered a multitude of fans worldwide. She is also one of the few nekomimi with an ample 'bosom.'
Catherine - Gintama
A cat girl who is both ugly and old, even somewhat masculine, yet surprisingly has a large fanbase. That's Catherine from the anime Gintama. Catherine can be described as lacking any traits of a 'cat waifu,' but her intriguing 'unattractiveness' and humorous antics have endeared her to Gintama fans, adding to the allure of the anime.
Here is the top 7 most beloved 'cat waifus' in anime, equally captivating as Komi in the fall 2021 masterpiece. Besides these names, who else do you think deserves a spot on this list? Feel free to share your thoughts!
