Biased Yet Scientific List of the Greatest Anime Boys

In the name of psychoanalyzing myself over and over again until I implode, I’ve recently examined the anime characters I find, or have found, most aesthetically appealing.

These are not my favorite boys of 2026. They are my favorites as chosen by my younger selves throughout time and space. Also, because the anime I’ve watched lately have been in the single digits, my list stops short at, like, 2015. Let’s get scratchin’!

Interview with David M. Donachie, Creator of Gamebooks and More

This author, illustrator, game designer and lover of mice agreed to chat with me about living a creative life.

Here are just a few of the things he’s had a hand in: a series of free Dragon Warriors modules with Red Ruin Publishing, a TTRPG where you pilot a spaceship made of dice, and the versatile GNAT System for gamebook adventures—which he used to write Heart of Keros, a free, excellent adventure and Merit Award winner from the 2023/2024 Lindenbaum Competition (which is where I first found his work).
