I will be brutally honest.

I truly believe this character lowered my testosterone levels to the point where libido is non existent. Logically there are probably others factors involved, especially during this quarantine period, but just trust me in saying, it was only when I was reading this manga last week that I felt this way. That’s enough about that.

Waifus comes and go. We all know that. I had have a lot over the years and I’m sure you do too.

We admire them. We screenshot their cute scenes. We make them our phone wallpaper. We search for their fanart. We (or at least I’m trying to) draw them.

But the way I am right now, what Chitoge is to me is a special kind of different. I do all the things I listed above but with one key addition. My heart genuinely beats faster when I see her in any form of media. Call me corny but this is probably love (or the closest I can call it).



Love in a sense that I truly and dearly just want her to be happy.

My heart begins to hurt when I think about her because deep down, I know she is, living her fictional married life with Darling and her son Haku. And that’s the point why she feels different from a normal waifu to me. After reading and witnessing all that she’s been through, my brain treats her as someone I got to know IRL.

I have no impure thoughts about her. I have no desire at all to see such things.

I even turned on the R18 viewing restriction on Pixiv before I searched for her name. I have not done this before with any other anime girl since Hino Kahoko.

I admit I have searched and found the doujins that greatly resemble the artwork just to satisfy my curiosity. The really accurate ones are a treat to read to be honest. They give some much needed extra content however I hastily gloss over the NSFW parts. This series is too pure for such things.

Mangaka Naoshi Komi created a once in a lifetime character. I just love everything about her! I’ve seen my fair share of similar blonde haired anime girls but none of them have captivated me the way she has.

In my eyes, no one else matters in this show. She just stands out and overshadows the rest of the cast. Dare I say she looks out of place because of how much prettier she is compared to the other girls. Not even a contest at all!

Is it her iconic one of kind ribbon? Her brilliant blue eyes? Her dazzling long blonde hair that never fails to spark attention?

Her eye catching fashion sense? Her tsundere attitude?

It’s all of these and more specifically, the one aspect that caught my eye, is her beautiful smile. Looking at my gallery reveals I saved this page from when I jumped straight to the final chapter of manga.

The way she is drawn smiling will never fail to warm my heart. I was still deciding whether I would start getting into this series back then. Safe to say I’m very glad I decided to start reading. Just to see precious smiles like this.

I think she is in the highest tier for having the best smile of any anime girl.

I’m not the only one as Google also thinks so. She’s the very first result for crying out loud!

Bing as well and Yahoo actually shows her twice!

Apart from her smile, I thoroughly enjoy all her wacky reaction faces too. I don’t think I’ve ever screenshotted a manga as much times as this before.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart Komi sensei for blessing the world with Chitoge and this lovely story. I wish I could tell you in person how much I adore this character.

In time, inevitably, I know I will move on from this phase.

But that’s just fine though.

Whenever I feel the the need to cry, I know just what to read to make it happen.

She will always be there, greeting me with a smile.
