Levi Takes Top Spot for Best Anime Character Boss Poll

Levi's reign as the most popular Attack on Titan character is only the tip of what anime fans think of him. Besides his turn as a fashion magazine cover star, he's gotten several figures, his own manga spin-off, and routinely tops romantic-themed character polls.

According to the results of Charapedia's "Which Character Would You Work For?" poll, he'd also make a great boss. Participants must have been fans of his no-nonsense approach to subordinate discipline and clean office habits. Levi got 542 total votes, 430 of which were from women, but that was enough to send him to the top.

The number one men's choice was Frieza though, who also ranked as the top choice for a villainous best friend. Both options are like choosing between a rock and a hard place when it comes to temperamental bosses.
