We Love Fujoshi Fangirls

Peter Payne by Peter Payne
12 years ago
in Your Friend in Japan

One of the more interesting trends over the past decade or so has been the rise of serious fangirls, called fujoshi in Japanese, a pun on a word meaning “high class ladies” which is written with alternate kanji that mean “rotten girls.” Fujoshi characters who love yaoi and “BL”, yuri or otome games (girl-centered visual novels) have become a staple of modern anime series, providing comic relief as well as characters for viewers to identify with, like Harumi from Zetsubou Sensei, Kiko from Darker than Black, Mio from Nichijou or Hiyori from Lucky Star, though my heart will always belong to the twin fujoshi Ohno and Ogiue from the classic Genshiken anime. Lately the anime world has been dominated by awesome products catering to female fans, including “otome” magazines like Otomedia and awesome fangirl-friendly series like Blue Exorcist, Tiger & Bunny and Hetalia. Considering the long history of themes largely tailored for male fans of anime and manga (*cough* pantsu *cough*), this is definitely a good development.So, who is your favorite fujoshi girl?

The world is better with awesome fujoshi fangirls in it.
