What is a waifu?

A waifu is a term used in anime and manga fandom to refer to a fictional female character (usually from anime, manga, or video games) with whom one has a strong emotional attachment or admiration. Waifus are often seen as idealized or "perfect" characters, and fans may develop romantic feelings or emotional connections with them.

Waifus can be from a variety of genres and series, and can range from cute, sweet characters to strong, independent ones. Some fans may even refer to their waifus as their "perfect" or "ideal" partner.

The concept of waifus has become increasingly popular in internet culture, with fans creating fan art, tribute videos, and even body pillows or merchandise featuring their favorite waifus. Ultimately, the idea of a waifu is a form of escapism and fantasy for fans who find comfort or enjoyment in their attachment to a fictional character.
