Kirito of Sword Art Online
There is something about Kirito that drives fans to scrutinize him. While Sword Art Online may be one of the most popular anime’s around, the lead’s chic attitude has put off some. Fans have complained for sometime that Kirito’s relationship with Asuna feels forced, and his continued encounters with out cute RPG ladies leave some fans with a sour expression.
Tenchi Masaki of Tenchi Muyo
While Tenchi doesn’t mean to, his actions can come off a bit too forward. Some may even go so far as to say the boy is too reckless for their tastes. In Tenchi Muyo, fans get to watch the protagonist as he accidentally releases a beautiful space pirate named Ryoko from captivity, totally destroying his school in the process. When Tenchi then learns he is actually part of a royal family, the character’s head swells just a tad, and some fans only grew to dislike Tenchi more as women started to fawn over him.
Kodaka Hasegawa of Haganai
Despite his mismatched hair, Kodaka has a lot going for him when it comes to Hagani. The character gets in a bunch of scrapes at school because of his looks, but the lead is really a laid-back guy who just wants to fit in. Some fans have grown to disdain the character because of predictable flaws and stoic personality. However, when it comes down to it, Kodaka really only cares what his crush Yozora has to say about him.
Raku Ichijo of Nisekoi
Raku may be a nice guy, but he is easy to be jealous of; After all, he does have two beautiful girls out there willing to date him. In Nisekoi, fans watch as the yakuza leader’s son gets roped into a forced dating scheme with Chitoge to make peace with feuding gangs. However, the boy’s heart really rests with his friend Kosaki.
