Therefore, for 2024, the title went to Anna Yanami , protagonist of the anime "Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!" , who won the hearts of fans and won the competition in a landslide.

From the very first rounds, Anna demonstrated her popularity, easily surpassing all her opponents. Some of her most impressive results include:
- 512 votes against Nina Iseri in the second phase.
- 614 votes against Alisa Mikhailovna “Alya” Kujou in the quarterfinals.
- 681 votes against Utena “Magia Baiser” in the semi-final.
- 964 votes in the grand final against Marcille Donato.
Speaking of Marcille, the character from “Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon)” was one of the tournament's biggest surprises. She reached the final after defeating strong rivals like Momo Ayase and Yuki Suou, showing that the “Dungeon Meshi” fandom is more active than ever, especially with the anime currently airing. However, even with all the support, Marcille couldn't overcome the phenomenon that is Anna Yanami.
Anna Yanami : The best waifu of 2024:
- Momo Ayase falls in the semifinals: The star of “Dandadan” , one of the favorites, was eliminated by Marcille with 616 votes against 563. This may indicate that “Dungeon Meshi” is gaining more attention than “Dandadan” at the moment.
- Alisa “Alya” Kujou didn't go as far as expected: Despite her popularity, she lost badly to Anna in the quarterfinals, with 614 votes against 226.
- The closest battle: The confrontation between Anna Yanami and Utena Hiiragi was the most disputed, with Anna winning by 681 votes to 631.
This tournament not only solidifies Anna Yanami as one of the most beloved waifus of 2024, but also reinforces the success of “Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!” . Furthermore, it shows that “Dungeon Meshi” has a dedicated fandom, and that characters like Momo Ayase and Alya remain relevant, even if they weren't a match for Anna.
