  (#9) Miss Kobayashi & Tohru - 'Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid'

  Miss Kobayashi is a human computer programmer who spends most of her time either working or getting drunk with her nerdy co-worker and yelling about her fascination with maids. Her daily life changes dramatically when she ends up befriending a dragon named Tohru, who decides to become Kobayashi's live-in maid. From the start, Tohru's feelings for Kobayashi go far beyond what one might expect from an employer-employee relationship - she's madly in love with her.

  It takes Kobayashi a while to reciprocate and feel comfortable with Tohru's boisterous displays of affection, but by the end of the show they're holding hands and visiting each other's families.

  (#17) Nanami & Tomoe - 'Kamisama Kiss'

  Nanami is a down-on-her-luck girl who's been kicked out of her apartment because of her absentee father's overwhelming debt. After visiting a run-down shrine, she meets a fox yokai (spirit) named Tomoe. One thing leads to another and Nanami suddenly becomes Tomoe's master. Although he is extremely reluctant to serve a human, Tomoe eventually falls in love with Nanami. While being a fox yokai proves to be difficult for their relationship, this couple proves that nothing can get in the way of their relationship.

  (#10) Kiba & Cheza - 'Wolf's Rain'

  Most interspecies relationships occur between one human and one non-human, but Cheza and Kiba are different. Cheza was artificially created from the Lunar Flower, a mythical object that holds the key to saving the world from destruction. Kiba is a wolf who can assume human form but often chooses not to. 

  After Lord Darcia III kidnaps Cheza with the intention of using her body to heal his wife's illness, she's rescued and ends up traveling with Kiba and his pack of wolves. The two develop a powerful bond, one in which they protect each other and are happiest by each other's side. Sadly, Cheza eventually passes away after a battle and disintegrates into seeds that sprout new Lunar Flowers.

  (#7) Nishiki Nishio & Kimi Nishino - 'Tokyo Ghoul'

  Nishiki Nishio and Kimi Nishino aren't just in an interspecies relationship - they're in a predator/prey relationship. Nishiki is a ghoul, a species that physically resemble humans, but which actually feeds on them to survive. Meanwhile, Kimi is a human. While this might seem like a terrifying situation, Nishiki is quite capable of not eating Kimi, and in fact, has dedicated himself to protecting her from other ghouls.

  Why? Because while Nishiki was trying to blend into human society, he kept his identity as a ghoul a secret from everyone, including Kimi. When she ultimately found out, she accepted him and continued loving him, instead of turning him into the authorities as he feared. Their relationship seems almost impossible, but the two stay dedicated to each other despite the odds.

  (#16) Ban & Elaine - 'The Seven Deadly Sins'

  Ban and Elaine's relationship has never been the most smooth sailing. As a Fairy, Elaine is initially distrustful of humans until she meets Ban. Both of them fall in love after their time together in the Fairy King's Forest. But after Elaine's death, Ban becomes severely depressed for the next four years. He loves her so much that he is willing to kill his best friend, Meliodas, in order to revive her. Luckily, they reunite after Escanor defeats Galand and Melascula.

  (#20) Legosi & Haru - 'Beastars'

  In Beastar's society of anthropomorphic animals, breeding between two different species is looked down upon. And for Legosi and Haru's case, their relationship is even more forbidden given that Legosi is a carnivorous wolf while Haru, a white dwarf rabbit, is the prey. But that doesn't stop them from falling in love. Even though outside forces threaten their relationship, we can't help but root for this couple.
