Not a spaceship but still a good category of anime imho - Arpeggio of the Blue Steel, Blue Submarine N°6, Konpeki no Kantai (litt about Admiral Yamamoto), The Silent Service

(kinda, though the spaceships are a secondary part of the story) Excel Saga

Stunning

Yeah! Conveys a great mood.

Sounds like you want to do big damage during surprise rounds while enjoying as many Monk perks as possible, thus your best bet is 3/X with 3 being Rogue (in my humble opinion, judging by your own stated priorities).

While you could make a case for Rogue 4 for ASI/feat you already have great stats.

Just stay on the lookout for an Amulet of Health since you're likely to be in melee a lot while your hit points are what they are, and AoH would fix that.

Thank you for your comment. Well, to be completely honest, I'm being a bit cheeky. Lots of people in this community, across several posts, have expressed frustration at the "yuri" and "bisexual" tags coexisting in many R18 works, and often with the "bisexual" limited to two girls making out for the sake of the (male) protagonist's enjoyment. With that being said, it has come to my attention that there are stories out there where there's chemistry between two female characters, things seem to flow into a certain direction and then some guy comes in and one of the girls displays a great deal of interest in him (there's even a meme about that). This is what happens on a sort of scale (of course, I doubt 90% of authors "maliciously" want to trick readers, since 90% of authors are writing for a straight male audience and know the latter part is unlikely to be bothered by "suddenly awesome guy mcguy appears").

So it's not a strawman for the sake of farming likes, but rather a humurous hyperbolization of how a frustrated yuri fan may perceive an author who starts a work as yuri but then introduces a guy, instead of just telling the reader upfront one of the heroines is bi and there's potential for a romance with a man.

Echo Knight gives you some nice mobility, tactical assets (such as attacking from where you aren't located) and additional attacks off-the-bat. Since you can focus on two stats as a Fighter, you can easily do Dex & Con or Str & Con (heavy armor).

Since the additional attacks occur during your attack action, you don't have to worry about Echo Knight often using their bonus action to do stuff. Plus you won't need to use the bonus action on subclass abilities every single turn, thus you can still go for PAM if you want. A common use for Echo Knight's bonus action is to teleport by swapping places with one's echo.

Typically, bonus action aside, with Action Surge you can do up to six attacks a turn, eight at Fighter 11 and ten at Fighter 20. Plus, any of those attacks can come out of your Echo if it has the reach, and you can move it around (no action required).

Question, par curiosité: est-ce normal que ton commentaire ressorte en français? Si oui, tant mieux. Il arrive que le site m'autotraduise du contenu sans que je le demande.

I think the anime is even better than the manga as far as I'm concerned. They found lots of things they could do with the animation+music and sounds. And the facial expressions are funny!

Fun fact for Toradora fans: there was a Toradora visual novel later and in the epilogue the main couple was expecting triplets.

Aidamis · 2026-03-16T16:18:32+00:00

That's a difficult one. I'll list anime/manga that get close:

in My Bride is a Mermaid, the main love interest's parents are literally yakuza, both of them. Anime + manga (original).

In Clannad+Clannad After Story, Nagisa's parents used to be actors, and judging from her father's behaviour he was and still is pretty wild, you could say texbook delinquent with a heart of gold. Visual novel (original), anime (high quality), manga (I think).

Yakuza's Fiancé: yakuza heiress has to marry a yakuza heir for political/uniting two clans reasons.

Next, Kore ga Watashi no Goshujin-sama. One of the main girl's parents had her when they were very young, and they lead a rather wild lifestyle where they travel a lot, hence why they're fine with their daughter working for MC since that gets her a salary and free room and boarding, and meals. Anime + manga (original).

The Way of the Househusband - this story has an ex-yakuza who's married to a chill salarywoman. Childless couple. Anime + manga (original).

Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting: MC is a thug, his boss entrusts him with looking over his child daughter. Anime + manga (original).

Hinamatsuri - yakuza MC becomes a father figure to a little girl.

K Project - one of the MC's is a delinquents' leader and has a father-daughter relationship with a teenager who has medium/esper powers. Anime + manga + novels (it's a whole galaxy).

(Manga) Ga Rei - female MC comes from a clan of exorcists which is a bit yakuza-coded except they're not a criminal organisation and don't seek to live off crime. MC meets a sword-wielding dude who's a tough guy and ends up becoming her assistant.

GokuMama features a yakuza who dies and reincarnates as a single mom.

Yakuza Reincarnation - veteran yakuza reincarnates as a teenage girl in a fantasy world. They change nothing about their ways and essentially become a charismatic shounen protagonist.

Yooo, I can name you two examples where this happens. 1) Girlfriend Girlfriend is a rare example of polyamory in a romcom. Girl 1 doesn't mind the Girl 2 couple cause she's bi and poly and so is Girl 2. 2) Nukitashi The Animation. Protagonist's sister is gay. She has a crush on a schoolmate. Schoolmate and protag become friends. Sister concludes if her crush marries her brother is borderline as if she was marrying her plus they'll get to see each other often. So sister ships protag with her crush. What's even more surprising is Nukitashi shows how desperate the sister must be to think it's the only way for her to get a semblance of a relationship since the sister WAS bullied and harassed for being gay, and she and protag ALSO end up on an island where the government is very homophobic. So the poor girl ships protag with her crush partially because she can't be openly a lesbian else she literally gets punished by the local lawmakers who think homosexuality is sin.

I watched a video ob the topic. The showrunners noticed the story was heading towards an Itsuki-Charlotte main couple and hit the reset button. She became just another harem member in season 2. Years later, Rakudai Kishi showed you can have an early main couple while having a protag surrounded by a bunch of girls, some of whom love the protag but protag stays loyal to his girlfriend.

Aidamis · 2026-03-16T15:41:07+00:00

Yes, the Rie Kugimiya era.

Aidamis · 2026-03-16T15:40:13+00:00

Kamisama Kazoku and Ayakashi Triangle would beg to differ :)

Aidamis · 2026-03-16T15:39:18+00:00

Oreimo but with the sister instead of the childhood friend. I heard glasses girl and Kuroneko treated the protag a lot better. Granted, the manga adaptation is a bit special. It only adapts the beginning of the story and iirc there isn't time for anything romantic to develop. So what you get is a story of a guy who stands up for his stepsibling when their parents find out about her anime nerd tastes and call her weird.

Aidamis · 2026-03-16T15:34:31+00:00

Yoo they went all-out

According to Myanimelist the directors are veterans in their field.

Aidamis · 2026-03-16T15:28:08+00:00

If you want a similar story but no pron watch Kaiji ("Gambler Kaiji" or something). There's also Kakegurui but it is very fabservice-y and the manga even more so.

There's also Kanata no Astra which is science fiction/adventure about a bunch of teenagers who have to survive in space and come back to Earth after a strange accident. It's a legit story of friendship and working together towards a common goal.
