"Eromanga Sensei" is a media mix work based on the original work by Fushimi Tsukasa, the author of "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute", and was one of the most popular anime of the spring of 2017. The heroine Izumi Sagiri is particularly popular, and many images of Sagiri have been shared on Twitter. Here we would like to introduce the 10 most unique supporting characters from "Eromanga Sensei", ranked in order of popularity.
【Eromanga Sensei】10th Supporting Character: Shido Kunimitsu

Shido Kunimitsu is a light novel writer like the main character Izumi Masamune, and is an ordinary, good-natured young man who has contact with Masamune through a publishing company. Although he is 20 years old, five years older than Masamune, he doesn't feel the age difference and they get along like normal friends.

At first, he was put off by Masamune, who was popular with many girls, but he gradually got used to it and even went to Elf's villa to hang out, and interacted with the main characters at a moderate distance. However, he somehow seems a little overshadowed and doesn't have the same presence as the main characters, so I put him in 10th place.

After that, he remarried the heroine Sagiri's mother, but shortly after remarrying, he passed away along with Sagiri's mother, leaving Masamune and Sagiri behind. In the anime, it was impressive to see him reading "A Certain Magical Index." He was a good father, but unfortunately he only appears a few times, so he's ranked 9th.

Yamada Chris is the older brother of Yamada Elf, another heroine who is on par with the heroine Sagiri. He is a scary person who strictly manages the elf, who is disappointing in every way except for her appearance, and keeps a watchful eye over her so that she doesn't play with him. However, he is handsome and has a presence that makes him seem like a real elf has appeared in the real world.

He likes Masamune and wants him to become Elf's husband in the future. I thought he was a quiet character, but he is surprisingly talkative, especially when it comes to elves.

The editor in charge of the main character, Izumi Masamune, has a very straightforward personality and doesn't worry about small details. She seems to have high expectations of Masamune, and is a behind-the-scenes hero who supports him whenever possible.

She's a good older sister who respects Masamune's feelings, and is flexible even when things seem a little difficult. On the other hand, he's an honest person who will state bluntly that a plan is no good, and to the young and naive Masamune, he's like a well-balanced boss.

She is the biological mother of the heroine Sagiri, and later became Masamune's stepmother for a short time. She looks like Sagiri, a beautiful woman with silver hair and blue eyes, and looks like the kind of woman Sagiri will become when she grows up.

However, unlike the shy Sagiri, she has an optimistic, carefree, and open-minded personality, which is very different from Sagiri. She is a professional illustrator and is good at drawing pictures of slightly erotic girls. She is also Sagiri's art teacher, and Sagiri learned all of her basic skills from her mother.
[Eromanga Sensei] Supporting Character #5: Saori Bajeena

Saori Bajeena is not technically a character in Eromanga Sensei, but rather in My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute. Normally, this character would not have appeared, but he appeared with the four main characters of OreImo right before the final episode. He barely had any lines, but his impact was so great that he made it to fifth place.
【Eromanga Sensei】Supporting Character #4: Kousaka Kyosuke

Kousaka Kyosuke is the main character of "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" and is not originally a character in "Eromanga Sensei". He appeared just before the final episode with Saori and the others, and reacted for just a moment as if responding to Masamune's inner voice. At the time of broadcast, Oreimo fans were delighted by Kyosuke and the others' appearance, which became a hot topic.
【Eromanga Sensei】3rd place supporting character: Kuroneko (Gokou Ruri)

Kuroneko is the true heroine of "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" and is as unique as the main heroine, Kousaka Kirino. Aside from just before the final episode, Eromanga Sensei was also interviewed by a TV announcer at a festival, which was broadcast nationwide.

Just before the final episode, there was a lively Ota-talk battle with Kirino, but the exchange between Kirino and Kuroneko was as entertaining as ever, so we gave it a high ranking. Her real name is Gokou Ruri, and she comes from a poor family and has two cute younger sisters.

Kousaka Kirino is the main heroine of "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" and is also Kyosuke's younger sister. She's a beautiful, monstrous girl with excellent grades, an all-around athlete, and a popular model, but her only flaw is that she's a pervert who loves erotic games. Kirino is interested in otaku culture, not just eroge, and as usual, she entertained viewers with her battle of the otaku talk with Kuroneko.

Kirino's appearance in Eromanga Sensei was only for a brief moment just before the final episode, but she had a line and appeared at the perfect timing for the story, so the scene where she appeared became a big topic on Twitter when it was broadcast. Although she only appears for a moment, her presence is impressive as she engulfs the characters of Eromanga Sensei.
【Eromanga Sensei】1st place supporting character: Muramasa Senju

Muramasa Senju is the third heroine in Eromanga Sensei, alongside Sagiri Elf. She appeared rather late in the series, so I've categorized her as a supporting character here, but she is a legitimate third heroine. Muramasa is a best-selling light novel author with sales of 14.5 million copies, far surpassing Masamune in popularity.

However, Muramasa is a big fan of Masamune, and begs him to write a novel just for him, offering to give him all the money he has earned. After that, after a series of events, he becomes Masamune's friend, and while he still has feelings for him, they develop a friendship.
【Eromanga Sensei】Supporting Character Ranking Summary

As expected, it was impactful when a character from "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" appeared with lines right before the final episode of "Eromanga Sensei". Although they appeared very little, they made such an impact and showed such respect for the series that we ranked the Oreimo characters so highly.

However, when it comes to "Eromanga Sensei," it's the triple heroines Sagiri, Elf, and Muramasa. No matter how attractive Kirino and Kuroneko are, there's no doubt that Sagiri, Elf, and Muramasa win in Eromanga Sensei.
