Akeno is one of the sexiest characters in one of the best ecchi anime shows.
I was confused between adding Rias Gremory and Akeno in this list, and I went with Akeno because I personally think she’s a better waifu material!
She loves her friends and would do her best to protect them but she is also sadistic and masochistic. She loves causing her enemies pain and feels pleasure when she deals serious harm to her enemies. She loves teasing her friends, but she also has a very loving side and can melt like butter when she is around someone she loves.
