5 Anime Characters with Act of Service Love Language

Love language is a specific way that someone receives and expresses love. 

Love language exists in all kinds of relationships, from romantic to platonic to familial. 

There are estimated to be five types of love language: giving gifts, physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation, and act of service.

In anime, there are some characters who adhere to the act of service love language. 

They will express affection through actions that make life easier or more enjoyable for the person they love. 

For example, the following five anime characters are willing to cook or even kill enemies for the person they love.

1. Senko (Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san)

Senko, a demigoddess kitsune, is probably the only one who keeps Kuroto Nakano from death due to stress and overwork. 

Although she appears randomly to save Kuroto from himself, it is revealed that she had already helped the man before.

For some reason, Senko cares and will not stop making Kuroto's messy life better. 

To do that, she will do household chores and cook healthy food for Kuroto. 

She also gives messages to Kuroto to help relieve his tension.

2. Ryuji Takasu (Toradora!)

Ryuji Takasu can do household chores that are usually done by housewives. 

He is very reliable in cooking, maintaining cleanliness and tidiness of the house, and even sewing. 

When visiting, he immediately cleans Taiga Aisaka's apartment, which looks more like a chicken coop. 

He also cooks delicious food for the girl.

For whatever reason, Ryuji keeps doing household chores in Taiga's apartment. 

He is also often seen helping Taiga. 

Such as when he held the girl so she wouldn't fall off the stairs and when Ryuji helped Taiga not to drown. 

Not only for Taiga, but he also often helps his friends.

3. Misa Amane (Death Note)

Misa Amane became fixated on Kira, who turned out to be Light Yagami, after he killed the person who killed her parents. 

Since then, she is willing to do whatever job Light wants. 

With loyalty, she will eliminate anyone who obstructs Light's path.

Misa is brave enough to do things that endanger her life. 

She is also willing to exchange half of her lifespan to get shinigami eyes that will make Light's path easier. 

When she found out that Light was evil, Misa didn't even care. 

She even supported the man's plan. Without her knowledge, Misa was actually just considered a tool by Light.

4. Mikasa Ackerman (Shingeki no Kyojin)

Mikasa Ackerman will do anything to keep Eren Yeager safe. 

In addition to being a way to express her love for the only "family" she has left, Mikasa thinks that keeping Eren safe has become her life goal. 

However, without her realizing it, her dedication to Eren is quite scary.

Mikasa is dedicated enough to intimidate a group of soldiers when they threaten to execute Eren. 

She will harm anyone who threatens Eren's safety. 

When she realizes that her attachment to her comrades can hinder her path to protect Eren, Mikasa becomes more ruthless.

5. Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

Regardless of how often Edward Elric damages his automail, Winry Rockbell is always willing to repair his broken limbs. 

She may scold Edward for his recklessness, but she truly cares. 

It could be said that her primary goal is to keep the Elric brothers grounded.

Winry is a childhood friend of the Elric brothers. 

She would mediate when Edward and Alphonse Elric argued with each other. 

Winry would also shed tears when the Elric brothers couldn't cry over the pain and misfortunes that befell them. 

It took her some time to realize her feelings for Alphonse.

Although words of affirmation can make one's heart flutter, acts of service can have a greater impact. 

Sweet words are often not trustworthy, unlike actions that take on a tangible form, such as those performed by the five anime characters mentioned above. 

Apart from them, do you know other anime characters who have an act of service as their love language?
