Sousou no Frieren has claimed the top spot for female characters, while the character Himmel from this anime also ranks number one for male characters. Congratulations to the series for having such outstanding characters that have captured the hearts of fans.
Himmel is the hero of the demon-slaying group. He possesses a cheerful, carefree personality, yet he has the ability to influence the thoughts and feelings of those around him deeply. Himmel does not conform to the typical mold of a heroic character; instead, he is quite naïve and has a certain insecurity about himself.
