When Do Otaku Girls Fall in Love with 【推しキャラ(Oshi-Chara)】? A Little Research on How They Found Their Favorites!

 

 

What’s 【推しキャラ(Oshi-Chara)】?

 

 

A member or a character you would recommend most.

Your favorite character or the one you cheer for most.

Every Otaku would have one of two “Oshi-Chara”s.

Some might have been cheering for ONLY ONE character for long, or maybe MANY for others.

 

 

 

 

But WAIT.

WHEN and WHAT PART of “Oshi-Chara”s do Otaku fall in love?

 

It might differ or it might not, depending on the person.

 

“I’m so curious!”

So... Let’s try another questionnaire in the office! How did Otaku (Republic) Girls fall in love with “Oshi-Chara”s?!

 

When Do Otaku Girls Fall in Love with 【推しキャラ(Oshi-Chara)】? A Little Research on How They Found Their Favorites!

 

1 .What part of “Oshi-Chara” did you first fall in love with?

Group: Personality… 3 votes

 

Group: Appearance… 1 vote

 

Group: Voice… 1 vote

 

 

Yep! Most girls choose them by their personalities!

I noticed that there are more people who have fallen in love with characters’ personalities, deeds or ways of thinking, rather than with their appearances, as I saw the comments from the recent popularity vote.

2.How long does it take for you to admit them as your “Oshi-Chara”s?

Group: Right away…2 votes

 

Group: After a while…2 votes

 

Group: Others…1 vote

Comment→It differs depending on each anime/manga.

 

 

It seems that the time-frame when they finally meet their “Oshi-Chara”s differs depending on the person.

 

Here’s a breakdown with the first question:

 

 

Group: Right away…2 votes (Group: Voice, Group: Personality)

 

Group: After a while…2 votes (Group: Appearance, Group: Personality)

 

The one in Group: Voice, falls in love with their voices as soon as she hears the voices so she is in the Group: Right away.

Unexpectedly, the one who likes the characters’ appearances falls in love with them as her “Oshi-Chara”s after a while, huh?

 

3.What’s the “Oshi-Chara” for you...?

Group: Someone who I’d want to watch over from far away…2 votes

 

Group: Someone who I’d want to casually hang out with…1 vote

 

Group: Someone who I’d look up to…1 vote

 

Group: Someone who I’d want to feed…1 vote

 

 

“Oshi-Chara”... It’s someone who can make us happy...

 

I offered several multiple choices for them but most of them chose “Someone who can entertain us” or “Someone who can make us happy”.

 

By the way, do you guys all have the same opinions as these girls as well? The way we love characters are definitely depending on the person! I’d like to conduct another questionnaire for you guys too, regarding the definition of 【Oshi-Chara】in the near future!!

 

Lastly...

 

4.Who’s your “Oshi-Chara”? (Give us a reason too with one line if you have one..)

 

Kashuu Kiyomitsu (Touken Ranbu)

…I want to buy him ANYTHING until my credit card reaches the limit.
