Suo from children of the whales
Nitori from Wandering Son needs to be on this list.
It'll cool if you add Asuramaru from Seraph of the End.
Nice list! I was going to make this one myself until I saw it was already a thing. Should add Saika Totsuka from Oregairu and Nagisa Shiota from Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, IMO.
I just wish this list was called "Dude Look's Like a Lady"
