Men at work franchise also has several white men x Japanese women pairing though I'm not sure which nationality/ethnicity those white male characters are from if they are British, French or German.

Are we talking about acutal canon couples here or just couples we ship? For example, Shirou x Rider does not really exist, those scenes in Ataraxia were pure fan-service. They're side materials, which means they don't even happen in the already illusioned world of the game's main storyline.

 

Ciel's mom is of unknown oriental origins, which means she could be Japanese. This means she's could be half French, half Japanese, does that still count?

 

Do supernatural girlfriend/boyfriend count? There are a ton of those.

 

Lastly, there are a ton of White male x Asian female pairings since almost all JRPG games that takes place in a European setting (which is most of them) have a token Japanese girl, who is always a romance option in games that have multiple romanceable targets.

Asian female as in Japanese female(not Chinese female)? Can name those games/couples with white males x Japanese females pairings?

Just curious, can couples in visual novel can be consider as official or canon too? Visual novel has different routes where we ended up with many different girls. Are all those official too? Unlike VN, most anime has canon couple where VN has many different girl you can ended up with that if feels there is no actual canon?

there are some opinions about the japaneses seeing the anime's characters like japaneses, and not like whites (for more information, see the link below). So, the characters that we see as "white" are japaneses (so, asians), except for the foreigners (Saber, blonde, blue eyes= white)
Why do the japanses draw themselves as white?

 

And for some reason, I just can't think in other couple besides Hisao and Lilly from Katawa Shoujo, I liked them

I actually appreciate you posting this. I really enjoyed this article.

 

On the other hand I will say that part of the reason for this misconception comes from the fact that the whole 'anime' art style did in fact sprout off of western cartoons at the time. The whole big eyed simplified artstyle came from the west and as their art style's roots originated from a place dominated by white people others assumed that Japanese artists were just drawing white people. Not saying that the people they are drawing aren't in fact Japanese, but part of this assumption came from the origins of the anime art style.

Btw, does anyone play Men at Work 1,2,3 and 4? Which are the canon couples for each of them?

I am also curious to know which are the canon couple for Tokyo School life and Go Go Nippon if anyone know.
