Father’s Day rolls around and most people think about father figures in teen literature. But what about father’s in manga? Here are a few fantastic fathers that stand out:
Rin and Yukio Okumura’s foster father is not only totally badass; who was considered the strongest exorcist; but self-sacrificing as well, saving Rin from the clutches of Satan. Although he passed away, he has shaped and is still influencing both Rin and Yukio even after his death.
Who doesn’t love good food? Joichiro not only knows how to cook food that stimulates the senses to the extremes but is also very hard-working; running his own restaurant while raising his son Soma alone after his wife passed away. Instead of becoming pompous because of his skills, Joichiro is rather down-to-earth and approachable.
Although Loid took on the role of a father just for his mission as a spy, he is rather sincere with his “daughter” Anya. Though the motivations may be impure, Loid does make sure to spend time with Anya from family outings, studying, shopping, and more while also protecting her from bullies and kidnappers.
Work-from-home dad Yousuke may have a slacker look but he is no slouch when raising Yotsuba. Rather, he has the right sense of strictness and silliness that make their interactions so heartwarming and hilarious!
