Something’s seriously wrong with me. Why are my fave ships always end up being doomed??? Like either one of them is gone or they are both dead.

Levi x Hange

Obanai x Mitsuri

Please I don’t want to add more depression into my life 😮‍💨

…But are there more anime ships like this? Slowburn but ends in tragedy. I lowkey want to know 👉🏻👈🏻

What do you mean the big, emotionally-stoic man didn't tell you he loved you?? His eyes literally went soft when he glanced your way??

Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji falling into the Infinity Castle

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025)

Not me falling for another ship that ended in doom 😮‍💨

I think one of the reasons why I ended up loving Mitsuri despite normally disliking fanservice female characters is that not only is she of course, more than that, but the way she was portrayed in the story is very refreshing to me. She comes off as trope-y at first and I'd argue that it's part of her gimmick. Majority of the hashiras were introduced as kinda stereotypical until we eventually learned that there's more to them than meets the eye and ofc, Mitsuri is no different! She has depth too that I think it's worth digging on.

Most fanservice female characters from my experience, tend to be either super mature oneesans. They have very womanly™️ hobbies, basically the token milf or the girl next door. That or they are the overly cutesy girl who has an archetypical traits like the token tsundere, kuudere, manic pixie dream girl or a bimbo or etc. I'm personally just not the biggest fan of it

It may seem like Mitsuri falls under the latter, or maybe a combination of the two, but imo her ditzy personality makes more sense. Rather than seeing her as the typical bimbo, to me, she's more like someone who retained her childlike positivity. She was surrounded by loving parents most of her life, so it makes sense that she would be more naive and clumsy.

She's also caring and nurturing, all stereotypical traits for the "mature oneesan" but then it makes sense bc shes the eldest daughter of many siblings. At the same time, bc of her peaceful and protected lifestyle, she still retained a lot of childish qualities, that's why she has a very joyful design. It reflects how she wasn't exposed to demons at a young age. It's something I personally found refreshing bc not many "oneesan" characters were like that to me.

All those little details about her character makes her personality feel more grounded, at least to me. Kana Hanazawa also nailed her performance, she made Mitsuri's cuteness feel so natural rather than forced. Even her love breathing and her magical girl vibes contribute to all of this. Her charm isn't just fanservice, it's multifaceted. My irl friends even said that she's cute more than anything. Perhaps it may not seem much, but the fact that she is in a bleak story is why these aspects of her character stood out. It's what makes her unique.

There's also the way that her relationship with Obanai isn't sexualized. Now I'm sure Obamitsu are very physically attracted to each other in universe, but what I mean is, from a story perspective, there's so much more emphasis on their emotional bond.

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see the fanservice female character get a love interest, she will have moments where she gets groped or ogled at by the guy. Of course, there's nothing wrong with two characters showing sexual attraction or them having sexy moments, but I guess to me, it's often done in a tasteless manner and feels like an excuse to insert cheap fanservice (often at the female character's expense)

We don't see that with obamitsu. Instead, we see how Obanai loves her because she is bright, cheerful and makes him feel like a normal boy. We also see how he respects her and makes her comfortable. Obanai loves her for who she is. He values her as a person.

Also given the cheerful girl x brooding guy trope, I initially thought that Mitsuri would be the manic pixie dream girl, but instead, there's more emphasis on how Obanai comforts Mitsuri and how he's considerate of her feelings. It doesn't feel like she's only there to relieve Obanai's pain. Obanai's there to relieve hers to.

These are just little moments in the manga but even then, these details further humanizes Mitsuri's character to me. It shows that she isn't meant to be solely framed through sexual lenses.

So even though I normally don't care for fan service female characters. I came to love Mitsuri a lot because her humanity and cuteness still shined through. I feel that it is because of this that she managed to be a comfort character to many people, and why she's grown so dear to me the more I look into her <3
