About this list

Anime characters on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum are rare, so it's a cause for celebration when they appear. This list focuses on the B in the acronym, highlighting a small but awesome group of bisexual anime characters. We'll include characters who have explicitly identified as bisexual in canon, as well as those who haven't used the label but exhibit behaviors that suggest they might be bi. Some cases are clearer than others, so you may see a character on this list whose orientation you interpret differently.
