Concept in Definition ABC

Anime and manga are a type of Japanese comics that have a worldwide following. The style of He drew of both genders is very accurate and singular and the characters are presented with a marked personality. In the anime and manga world, a waifu is a female character. The word waifu is equivalent to wife, as it is a modification of the word wife in English.

Anime and manga fans have a special connection to their favorite characters

An otaku is a fan of this type of comics and if an otaku says that a female character is her wiafu he is expressing a connection emotional between him and said character. Somehow, he falls in love with a wiafu because she experiences a attraction towards her, either because of her physical appearance, her personality or for other reasons.

Sometimes this kind of feelings projected onto fictional characters can lead to fanaticism. In fact, there are young people who have become so obsessed with their waifu that they have even committed suicide.

Every year new female characters appear and some become the waifus of the otakus. If we take as a reference the case of the waifu Asuna created by the Japanese manga Reki Kawahara, it is a young woman with long colored hair brown and orange, with expressive dark eyes, wearing a red and white uniform, she uses a sword named Luz Lambent and has a character helpful.

Unreal wives and husbands

The male version of a waifu is a husbando, a word that is formed from husband or husband in English. The issue of virtual wives and husbands may initially attract attention. However, it is not something as strange as it seems at first glance.

First of all, waifus and husbandos pique interest among teenagers. As is already known, in adolescence the feelings and emotions emotions they are lived very intensely.

On the other hand, falling in love with a fictional character is not a rarity or a pathology, since in the history of the literature many male and female characters have become the object of desire for readers.

Thus, someone can fall in love with Doña Inés de José Zorrilla, Jean Eyre de Charlotte Brontë or Christian Gray, the famous character of the novel "Fifty Shades of Gray" by E. L James (in recent years many adult women around the world have fantasized about this character from literary fiction and have made him their ideal partner).
