He hopes to sell his country at any opportunity and live a carefree life, but he is caught up in unexpected circumstances and ends up becoming a wise ruler and bringing prosperity to his country. The character designs are beautiful and cool, making this a highly anticipated winter anime. Here, we've compiled a ranking of the most popular characters!

The Genius Prince's Guide to Reviving a Nation Out of Debt Popularity Ranking: #1 - Ninim Laray

A childhood friend of the protagonist Wayne, Ninim's closest aide, supporting him both publicly and privately. Intelligent and highly capable, Wayne relies on Ninim most, and is one of the few people he reveals his true self to. He knows Wayne's true nature, which differs from the general public's perception. He's Wayne's right-hand man, providing precise support despite his sometimes harsh words. While Wayne possesses beautiful white hair and red eyes, he is a member of the Flamm race, which is discriminated against throughout the continent. The Natra Kingdom is one of the few nations that does not discriminate against Flamms. While Wayne is usually gentle and prioritizes profit and loss, he becomes merciless when Ninim is insulted.

This is why he's so popular!

He's the protagonist Wayne's aide, and while he may have a sharp tongue, he's a professional who meets Wayne's requests almost perfectly. He's sometimes entrusted with intelligence gathering, intelligence gathering, and military command. Wayne's childhood friend, Ninim, is his right-hand man and heart. They share a strong bond, so strong that he will disregard his own position and punish anyone who insults or mistreats Ninim or her race. They're like the Colonel and Lieutenant in Fullmetal Alchemist. Her character design features small breasts, but she's a very cute main heroine, making her incredibly popular.

The Genius Prince's Guide to Reviving a Nation from a Debt Popularity Ranking: 2nd Place: Wayne Salema Albarest

Wayne

The protagonist of this work, the crown prince of the small nation of Natla. Those around him regard him as a genius with a brilliant mind, skilled in political and military strategy, and the next wise ruler. However, in reality, he is far from that image; he is lazy and dislikes trouble. His innate intelligence allows him to better understand that the Kingdom of Natra is in dire straits, and he quietly plans to sell the country to the hegemonic Aswald Empire. However, changes in the situation and the actions of himself and his subordinates lead in unexpected directions, ultimately resulting in trouble. Moreover, he handles these troubles with more than perfection, so his reputation skyrockets. After shouldering unnecessary hardships, he often ends up crying out, "How did this happen?" when an unexpected force majeure occurs, leaving him to cry out.

This is why he's so popular!

He's the protagonist and core comedic force of the series. The concept of this work is something like, "A genius prince from a weak nation tries to make his life as easy as possible, but ends up being thrown into a tailspin by unexpected events, enduring enormous hardships, and ultimately achieving results that are beyond perfect. He ends up bearing high praise and trouble, even though he doesn't want it." The inconsistency between his inner thoughts and those around him is interesting, and Wayne's true nature is part of the story's appeal. However, he also has a passionate side, as he will never forgive anyone who insults his family (especially Ninim), regardless of whether it's profitable or not.

Genius Nation's Revival Techniques Popularity Ranking: 3rd Place: Rowellmina Earthwald

The second princess of the hegemonic Earthwald Empire. When Wayne studied abroad in the empire, she called herself Roa Felvis, a country noble, and hung out with Wayne and his friends. She's just as clever as Wayne and a master of behind-the-scenes maneuvering. During their student days, she teamed up with Wayne to cause all sorts of trouble. Later, after the Emperor's death and the issue of succession arose, she dragged Wayne into an arranged marriage and became a new force, aiming for the throne. Her dynamic, tomboyish personality, unusual for a princess, and her flawless cover-up scheme meant that even Wayne didn't realize her true identity during their school days.

This is why she's so popular!

She's the princess of the Aswald Empire, to which Wayne had planned to betray his country, and a former schoolmate. She volunteered to be Wayne's arranged marriage partner, and by dragging Wayne into her quest for the position of Emperor, she became an aggressive princess. During their school days, she and Wayne used their cunning to cause trouble. While Wayne considered her a bad friend, Lowellmina herself had a fond affection for Wayne and admired him for being in Ninim's shoes. She's an aggressive princess aiming for the throne, but I love her adorable, girly side.

The Genius Prince's Guide to Reviving a Nation from Deficit Popularity Ranking: 4th Place - Fish Brandel

Fish

She's the ambassador sent from the great power of Earthwald to the Kingdom of Natra. She's a beautiful woman with glasses and big breasts, but she's also a talented woman with excellent practical skills. The Kingdom of Natra is a nation of military importance to the Empire, and the Empire aimed to peacefully incorporate it into the Empire. Her plans overlapped with Wayne's desire to sell his country and live a life of leisure, and her actions were sure to bear fruit. However, the unexpected death of the Emperor caused everything to fall apart. Looking at the results, it seems as though Wayne took all the good parts. She was dismissed as a result, but later reappears as a close aide to Lowellmina.

This is why she's so popular!

A beautiful woman with big breasts and glasses! She's a visually stunning and talented woman, and in the very first episode, she negotiates with Wayne. However, Wayne ends up taking all the good parts, leading her to believe that "everything was in Wayne's hands," but she doesn't know that it was actually a misunderstanding, and Wayne is scratching his head, wondering how it all ended up like this. Her misunderstanding is wonderful. Looking at the results, she'd made a complete mistake and been dismissed, but she later supports Lowellmina as a close aide.

The Genius Prince's Guide to Reviving a Nation from Deficit - Popularity Ranking #5: Xeno

Xeno

On Wayne's journey to Cavalline, where the neighboring Kingdom of Marden was destroyed, Helmut, the second prince and leader of the Marden Liberation Army, rescued Wayne and his companions from a mysterious force. Helmut, a young boy, accompanied Wayne as his representative. In reality, he was Xenovia, a member of the royal family, disguised as a boy and posing as Helmut. Because of her intelligence, she was shunned by her father and banished to a villa, but as a result, she became the only surviving member of the royal family. After Wayne travels to Cavalline, he achieves his long-cherished dream of reviving the Kingdom of Marden, but anticipates that his country will become a bulwark against Natla and chooses to submit to her. In other words, "I won't let you get away, except for you..."

This is why he's so popular!

He initially appears in men's clothing, but since his feminine features are clearly visible to everyone, he insists on pretending to be male for political reasons. He's intelligent but prone to emotional outbursts and still has a long way to go. Wayne admonishes him for being so emotional, but Wayne is impressed by Wayne's ability to pull everything off despite his overly emotional behavior, and he strives to become his equal. In one case, he even outwits Wayne, making him a character worth watching and looking forward to seeing.
