Want to know who the cutest anime guys with glasses are? Then go ahead and read on, you won’t be disappointed! I’m a sucker for cute anime guys with glasses, so I had to make this list. Also included is a brief synopsis of the anime itself. Just in case you haven’t already seen it, and want to watch these cute guys in action!
10. Loke (Fairy Tail)
Loke gives off major flirt energy—charming, stylish, and always ready with a wink. He seems like a total playboy at first, but there’s way more to him beneath the surface. His loyalty to his friends (especially Lucy) runs deep, and when he gets serious, the whole mood shifts.
Fairy Tail is a magical adventure anime set in a world where wizards join guilds to take on quests and battle dark forces. The story centers on Lucy Heartfilia, a Celestial Spirit Mage who joins the famously chaotic Fairy Tail guild. She teams up with fiery Natsu, ice-cool Gray, and powerhouse Erza as they go on wild missions filled with magic, mayhem, and emotional moments. Loke, a supporting character, may not always be on screen, but he always makes an impression.
9. Hirotaka Nifuji (Wotakoi)
Wotakoi is a cozy rom-com about adult otakus dealing with love and work. Hirotaka’s romance with Narumi is wholesome and awkward in the best way. He’s dependable, calm, and refreshingly realistic. If you love soft boyfriends who game and give forehead kisses, he’s definitely one to watch.
Effortlessly cool, unbothered gamer boyfriend type, Hirotaka is chill, sarcastic, and secretly super thoughtful. He might seem emotionally detached at first, but the more you watch, the more you realize how sweet and caring he is in his own quiet way.
8. Kento Nanami (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Nanami is the definition of composed and mature—he’s serious, stoic, and has a dry sense of humor that sneaks up on you. There’s something deeply comforting about his presence, like you can trust him to keep things under control even when the world’s falling apart. Needless to say, his signature sunglasses perfectly fit his personality.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, where chaos and curses run wild, Nanami stands out as the reliable adult among hot-headed teens. His work ethic, disdain for overtime, and quiet care for others make him both relatable and endearing. He’s the calm in the storm—cool, capable, and lowkey very sweet.
7. Ranpo Edogawa (Bungou Stray Dogs)
Ranpo is pure chaos and brilliance wrapped in one quirky detective. He might act clueless at times, but don’t be fooled—his “ability” is just his insane deduction skills. The glasses are more of a switch than a necessity, though. In fact, he wears them as a prop to activate his extraordinary analytical abilities.
In this series, a group with supernatural powers solves mysteries and faces off against dark organizations. Ranpo doesn’t need powers—his mind is sharp enough. He’s eccentric, dramatic, and lovable in his own oddball way. If you like clever, over-the-top characters with a soft core, Ranpo’s your guy.
6. Shiroe (Log Horizon)
Shiroe isn’t your typical flashy hero—he’s the calm, strategic mastermind type, and that makes him seriously attractive in a quiet, confident way. The glasses? Totally part of the charm. He always seems in control, but you can tell there’s a lot going on beneath the surface.
In Log Horizon, players are stuck in an online game, and Shiroe becomes the one holding everything together—not with brute strength, but by outthinking everyone. He’s clever, loyal, and always ten steps ahead. If you like smart characters who build worlds with logic and heart, this anime (and Shiroe) won’t disappoint.
5. Yuuri Katsuki | Yuri on ICE!!!
After a tough loss at the Grand Prix Finale, 23-year-old Yuuri Katsuki heads back home, unsure about his future in figure skating. He’s out of shape, down on himself, and feeling like his shot at glory might be slipping away.
But everything changes when a video of Yuuri perfectly copying a routine by world champ Victor Nikiforov goes viral. To everyone’s shock, Victor shows up at Yuuri’s house and offers to coach him. Yuuri jumps at the chance, setting off on a comeback journey—one that won’t be easy, especially with fierce young rival Yuri Plisetsky determined to steal the spotlight and Victor’s attention.
Yuuri is just adorable, and I love all of his facial expressions. The relationship between him and Victor is priceless.

4. Kousei Arima | Your Lie in April
Kousei Arima was a piano prodigy—until his mother passed away and he suddenly couldn’t hear the sound of his own playing. For two years, he has avoided the piano completely, stuck in a quiet, colorless life with his friends Tsubaki and Ryouta.
That is, until he meets Kaori, a free-spirited violinist who shakes up his world. With her bold energy and love for music, she slowly pulls Kousei back into the world he left behind and pushes him to rediscover the beauty—and pain—of playing again.
I cried watching this anime, much like everyone else who watched this. Not only is he cute, but I related to his feelings of depression, anxiety, and PTSD more and more. Definitely, an anime that you should be watching!
3. Ootori Kyouya | Ouran High School Host Club
Everyone loves the Shadow King—Kyouya definitely brings extra flavor to Ouran High School Host Club! The story kicks off when Haruhi, a smart scholarship student with no elite background, accidentally stumbles into the school’s lavish Host Club while looking for a quiet place to study. After breaking a crazy expensive vase, she’s roped into working for the club to pay it off.
Thanks to her androgynous look and charm with the girls, Haruhi ends up becoming a full-fledged (and very convincing) male host. What follows is a whirlwind of rich-kid chaos, over-the-top cosplay, and hilarious moments with a cast of unforgettable characters—from princely Tamaki to calm-and-dangerous Kyouya, and the rest of the wild crew.
2. Takumi Usui | Maid Sama!
Usui doesn’t wear glasses all the time, but when he does…ooh boy. Misaki Ayuzawa is the first female student council president at a formerly all-boys school, and she’s earned a fierce rep for keeping the guys in check. But outside school? She secretly works at a maid café to support her family. She’s kept it under wraps—until the school’s most popular guy, Takumi Usui, walks in and finds out.
He could destroy her reputation with her secret… or he could twist the student council president around his little finger and use her secret as an opportunity to get closer to her.
1. Rei Ryuugazaki | Free! Iwatobi Swim Club
And of course, number one goes to my favorite anime boy wearing glasses of all…Rei!! Haruka Nanase has a love for water and a passion for swimming. Back in elementary school, Haruka and his friends Rin, Nagisa, and Makoto won a relay race together—but then went their separate ways. Years later, they reunite in high school, but Rin isn’t interested in picking up where they left off. He’s at a different school now and focused only on one thing: proving he’s a better swimmer than Haruka.
Haruka, Makoto, and Nagisa start the Iwatobi High School Swim Club after reuniting, but they need one more member to compete. So they bring in Rei, a former track athlete Nagisa convinces to join. As they train hard for the upcoming tournament, the team grows tighter—and Haruka gets ready to finally face Rin again.
There you have it! Some of the best (in my opinion) anime guys with glasses. Of course, there are several others. I mean, there’s also Sebastian and Grell from Black Butler and COUNTLESS others, but these were my top fives.
Who was your favorite? Was there someone I missed? Let me know in the comments below!
As always,
Keep Smiling!
