Which female character is the best? And which is best love interest for Takashi?

So, I’m of the mindset that Best Girl and Best Waifu mean two different things.

When I think Best Girl, I think best female character overall.

But when I think Best Waifu, I’m in the more romantic sense, as in which female character makes the best girlfriend for the MC, or even in real life.

So for HOTD, I’m curious to hear your answers to these two questions. You’re welcome to select two different characters for each question, or pick the same character for both. Your choice.
