As a math student, Kotonoha sets herself apart from her peers. From the standpoint of just mathematics, her knowledge outweighs many excluding the Professor. She is more emotionally intelligent than many of the others in the Saitama University Science and Research department but often is held back due to her nerves when approaching her boisterous and genius colleagues. Kotonoha is an interesting character in her own right because she gives us a layman’s look at how a normal person would react if they were in the same situation as she.

With her love of playing video games, Ena is very relatable. She is incredibly smart but we rarely see her actually do anything mathematical despite being part of the science lab. Her close relationship with Kosuke is fun to watch and shows that she is much more emotionally intelligent than others on this list. This is proven when we watch her tease Kosuke because she knows that he will be lured in by the fact that she looks like his favorite anime character. Also, since the two are childhood friends, they have a closer relationship that is entertaining. Ena often comments on the fact that the others are emotionally immature and offers explanations of the interactions of Ayame and Shinya when needed. While Ena is often critically observing others, she is referred to as one of the most intelligent people in the science lab by multiple characters throughout the anime.

Ayame earns top points for her level of intelligence. Ever since she was young, she has stood out in the crowd for being cold, beautiful, and smart. Despite this, she has few social skills and is extremely awkward when expressing her love for Shinya. Being a scientist, she thinks of everything as a problem with single solution and this is how they approach their relationship. Ayame is exceptionally intelligent and this is shown through her complex display of theories and problems throughout the anime.

Shinya approaches everything in life mathematically. He believes, much like Ayame, that everything should have a rational solution, including love. This is why he proposes that they must define Ayame’s love in a scientific manner upon her confession. His emotional intelligence is almost zero, though, as evidenced by his confusion upon feeling angry or confused when he reacts to situations that pertain to Ayame without thinking. Shinya excels in the fields of math and science in a way that is almost unparalleled but he lacks emotional intelligence in a way that is comical and just plain sad.

The Professor is seen every few episodes and blunders onto the screen as a comical and buff scientist. However, he has deep knowledge of all of the concepts presented to him by his students, showing that his intellect far exceeds anyone else’s in the room. He also is able to manipulate his students by encouraging them in ways that are unique to that student. His emotional intelligence and brains far outweigh others on this list making him the most intelligent person in Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It.
