Every gal needs a hearty laugh now and then, and we can always count on comedies to shake things loose. Whether it is physical, self-deprecating, absurd, witty, or poking fun at everyday life, many anime series present to female audiences a range of humor. We hope that one of these series can make a girl’s day brighter. With that said, we present a list of the top ten comedy anime for girls. We know there are many more comedies out there that get us ROFL and here’s what we’ve gathered so far!
10. Shounen Maid (Shonen Maid)
Shounen Maid is a story about Chihiro Komiya, an elementary school student who lost his parents at a very young age. Without a place to call home or a family, his luck turns around when he meets his long-lost uncle named Madoka Takatori. After agreeing to take Chihiro in, upon arriving at his uncle’s digs, with vast amounts of dust, garbage, and a filthy mess. Chihiro’s duties kick in, and his life as his uncle’s maid is bound to be amusing. The story of a boy who loses it all sounds like a very depressing plot, but this anime turns things around with a frilly maid’s outfit and outbursts of hilarity. With its simplistic story and lack of dull moments, Shounen Maid is a comedy that girls would find funny because of Chihiro’s circumstances and uniform.
9. Mahou Shoujo Ore
Mahou Shoujo Ore follows the story of 15-year-old Saki Uno. Part of the pop-idol duo “Magical Twin,” her idol success remains at a low. Furthermore, Saki’s trials don’t end here, as she is also in love with her best friend’s brother, a very popular idol, Mihiro Mikage. When Saki discovers that her mother used to be a magical girl, she learns that this ability was passed onto her. With the help of a Yakuza-like mascot character named Kokoro, Saki can transform into "Magical Girl Ore" to fight cute monsters who threaten to kidnap Mohiro. Sounds pretty awesome right?! Unfortunately, her magical girl form is that of a burly, muscular man in a small, cute, girlish uniform. How embarrassing! With this being a big reason why Mahou Shoujo Ore is a great comedy for girls, the whole aspect of magical girls is super awesome.
8. Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (Chio’s School Road)
Has anyone wished that the ride to school was met with many delays? That getting dropped off at school miraculously never happened? Well, Chio’s School Road is precisely about that. Chio is extra studious, so for her, this is a terrible nightmare as many obstacles get in the way of her arrival. Each step and circumstance is met with uncertainty and humor, growing more absurd as the series moves forward. Everyone can relate to the anxieties of being late, but ladies, we can all agree that it’s okay to be fashionably late.
7. Gakuen Babysitters (School Babysitters)
Another story on our list where the characters meet sudden tragedy, Ryuuichi Kashima must learn to adult, becoming the guardian of his younger brother Kotarou. Although Ryuuichi does a decent job looking after his little bro, Kotarou is still too young to understand the depth of the situation. While at their parents’ funeral, the boys meet Youko Morinomiya, the chairwoman of Morinomiya School, who kindly decides to take them in. Of course, we know there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Chairwoman Morinomiya tells Ryuuichi that to meet their tuition and board, he is to become the school’s babysitter. The babysitters’ club was established to help the staff find childcare while working, and so not only is Ryuuichi responsible for his brother’s well being, but also many other toddlers’. With a severe premise, School Babysitters demonstrates that anyone can turn an unfortunate circumstance into a happy one. Girls can agree that little kids are the most adorable things, but after watching the kids in the club, we will have a change of heart!
6. Sabage-bu! (Sabagebu! –Survival Game Club!-)
All in favor of anime girls and guns say “I”! Ready, aim, fire, Sabagebu! –Survival Game Club!- is about a group of girls battling against rival schools and among themselves. The Survival Game Club is pretty intense and even more so for Momoka Sonokawa, a girl who gets saved and pulled into this world by Miou Ootori. How is she going to get through the school year with all the competition and girl fights?! Anyone who has experienced the drama of cliques will also take the brunt of shallowness, gossip, and girls in constant competition against one another. However, this anime makes light of all the theatrics with a simple and enjoyable story and cast of characters. Furthermore, it’s got a lot of action but cuts the gore and brutality and makes it all cute and funny. All around, Sabagebu! is utterly entertaining.

5. Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me!)
Can a girl dream? Kiss Him, Not Me! centers on the life of Kae Serinuma a second-year high school student and an avid fujoshi. Kae often fantasizes about unlikely pairs, particularly her classmates Igarashi-kun and Nanashima-kun. It’s a silly concept, but a significant component of anime comedies for girls. Kae’s world has fallen to pieces when she hears that her favorite anime character has passed, which causes her to become depressed and lose a lot of weight. Her physical appearance has changed drastically making her super attractive and gaining the attention of Hayato Shinomiya and Kazuma Mutsumi. Kae’s world has transformed. How is she going to deal with her BL fantasies and RL?! It’s endless laughs and entertainment.
4. Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge (Tanaka-kun is Always Listless)
Kick back, relax, anime and chill. Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge holds a pretty self-explanatory premise, a story about a high school student who is listless. Tanaka unsteadily slithers by, doing the most without doing much. He’s super lucky to have a friend like Oota, a guy who picks up his slack. Tanaka doesn’t expect much out of life, but this anime is surprisingly comical because the characters bring each episode to life. As the characters interact, the natural, relaxed vibe resonates throughout, but when the funny stuff comes on, you get a kick out of it.
3. Sakamoto Desu ga? (Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto)
Haven’t you heard? Sakamoto is an awesome guy; he’s super cool, good-looking, smooth, and perfect in every sense of the word. All the girls want to date him and all the guys are jealous of him. Sakamoto Desu Ga? documents his everyday events, both in the classroom and after school, with all the shenanigans that come his way. Many have attempted to topple his effortless charisma, but fail to achieve his standing. As they observe and mimic his every move or even try to knock him down, everyone wonders how Sakamoto’s got it goin’ on. Playing his arm as a wind instrument, sashaying into the schoolyard to avoid being tardy, or looking like a hot soap opera male lead, everything Sakamoto does is ridiculously outlandish, and that is why this zany comedy is great for gals.
2. Barakamon
Seishuu Handa is a talented calligrapher with great potential and doesn’t look too bad either. As his popularity is rising, his ego is growing as well, and no one likes a show-off. One day, when another professional critiques one of his best pieces and calls it unoriginal, Seishuu freaks out. His outburst doesn’t fare well, and as a consequence, he is sent to the Goto Islands. In contrast, this environment forces Seishuu to find new inspiration but is having a hard time doing so because of the natives butting into his creative space. Don’t you hate being distracted? However, Barakamon makes interruptions hysterical. What’s not to like when a handsome character loses his cool and has his life flipped upside down?
1. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun follows a girl named Sakura Chiyo, a bright and cheerful high school student who attempts to confess her love to her stud muffin Nozaki Umetarou and is unsuccessful. Bummer! Girls, we can relate, right? And it sucks! In the process, Sakura learns that Nozaki is a respected shoujo manga artist. In some strange turn of events, Sakura ends up as one of Nozaki’s assistants. Woohoo! As she helps further Nozaki’s manga career, Sakura hopes that by working in close quarters with him, he will eventually notice her romantic feelings. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun contains the element of long-anticipated confessionals, boasting flawless dynamics and fascinating characters. Appealing to all audiences, but most notably to girls, this anime consist of many silly and comedic scenes.
