Hori and Miyamura are one of the rare couples of anime who got together quite early on the show. The progression of their relationship is organic and relatable as well as very funny. Miyamura getting shocked over Hori’s masochistic and aggressive sides are some of the funniest scenes in the show.

When Usui stumbles upon Misaki’s secret as a waitress at a maid café, he can’t help but be intrigued by her. And soon, they find themselves falling in love. Usui’s out-of-the-world perfection and his perverted teasing, and Misaki’s hilarious reaction to him make them such a funny couple.

10) Haruhi Fujioka and Tamaki Suou
- Anime Name: Ouran High School Host Club
Ouran High School Host Club is a classic that has stayed in our hearts for years. And did its characters. Haruhi Fujioka, a girl with androgynous looks, finds herself as a Host charming girl in the school’s popular Host Club.
Tamaki Suou is the rich and charismatic president of the Host Club. He initially thought Haruhi was a boy, but after learning the truth, he became hilariously protective of her.
Tamaki often proclaims himself as a father figure to Haruhi, not understanding his affections, and this causes many funny moments.
11) Taiga Aisaka and Ryuuji Takasu

12) Emi Yusa and Sadao Maou
- Anime Name: The Devil Is a Part-Timer!
Emi and Sadao have gotten the enemies-to-lovers trope up to perfection. Though these two haven’t explicitly declared their feelings yet, the romantic subtext between them is less than subtle. They even have a kid together!
Sadao is actually Demon Lord Satan and Emi is the hero Emilia who thwarted all of Satan’s plans. Needless to say, they have some first-class banter going on between them that makes us cackle every time.
13) Chiyo Sakura and Umetaro Nozaki
- Anime Name: Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

Full of hilarious misunderstandings, bizarre situations and funny responses, these two never stop entertaining. That’s why they are one of the funny anime couples on this list.
