Otaku Culture

I’d like to explain about the words; Otaku, Moe, Tsundere and Burikko.
“Otaku” means the people who have great enthusiasm for cartoons, animations, costume play or maid. They often visit Akihabara to get the goods of the characters they love. In Akihabara, there are a lot of “Maid café”. They also go there to meet cute maids and enjoy talking.
“Moe” means the pink feeling people get when they see both real and unreal cute girls. For example, when they see the girls who wear the fully dresses called Maid-Fuku, they say Moe~. Besides, when they see the cute two-dimensional characters, they also use the word.
“Tsundere” means icy hot feeling. A girl says “Uzai!” or “Kimoi!” to cover her embarrassment. But, in fact, it is the sign that she likes the person. Mostly, these words are used to a specific person such as a boyfriend.
“Burikko” means the girls who try to act cute only in front of boys. For example, they change the tone of their voice. Some boys think Burikko is cute. However, to be honest, they are tricked! lol
