[The Apothecary Diaries] The characters that current middle and high school girl otaku are projecting themselves onto.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx44

In other words… green hair!

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Green is unpopular.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

The dark smile has always been the dream of otaku girls, huh…

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

Cats resemble me.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Please tell me which characters current middle and high school otaku boys are projecting themselves onto.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Green is a difficult color to use well, so ancient designs were often unpopular.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Aoi Yuuki’s performance as a low-key female otaku is so good it’s surprising.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Male otaku characters that male otaku can empathize with never get updated, do they?

The current protagonists of narou-style anime feel different somehow.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

When I hear “Raineck,” I can only think of Aura Battler.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Self-projection to the right is crazy, right?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who is on the right?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I would like to have one more person.

Is there anyone in another world?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Asashoryu, I resemble you.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it the case that there’s no one in the isekai genre who can evoke a reaction like, “Oh, that kid!” because the anime is so different depending on the viewers?

Also, in other world genres, protagonists tend to be associated with the color green.

The Rising of the Shield Hero and The Moon Leads the Way

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kazuma’s cloak is green too.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not an isekai, but it seems that Tamari and Misuzu from Gakumas are popular enough among otaku women to be featured on the cover of Anan.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought male otaku tend to self-insert into cool rival characters rather than the main protagonist.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

The current boys too

Well, well… I guess I like that kind of thing.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to popular characters associated with green, it’s Code Geass.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

With the appearance of Miku, the prejudice against green hair should have been overturned, right?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the hot spring guy from the losing team might fit, but since the fan base for the losing team is high, I haven’t really seen many young kids projecting themselves onto it.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

The cover of anan could be decorated even by Akihiro Hayakawa.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

The boys today are like Satoru Gojo.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did the man come after Yahata?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t like it when a girl takes pride in resembling Tsukimura Temari…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hisoka’s mimicry is quite a big deal.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aoi Yuuki, I resemble.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

The pharmacy is popular among the elderly, and it seems they really want a medication book.

Is that child also a grandchild?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Finally, the era of green becoming popular has come, and it’s making my nose tingle.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think Tamari is a self-projection.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

The man can solve it by projecting himself onto Megane-kun.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

In this class

I’m just in a position like Krillin, after all.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s quite Denji now.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

The unpopularity of green has become a thing of the past.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder who junior high school boys project themselves onto.

Is that you, Jinshi?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it more like Aki-kun than Denji?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was once Shinji Ikari.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that age, you yearn for the ordinary but a little bit special…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, the “so tiring” vibe is trending.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the man just a protagonist from a popular social game at that time?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, today’s high school boys are

Jotaro, I resemble you.

Are you saying that you think so!?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s Hiroyuki-chan from JoJo, right…?

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Jotaro and Kakyoin are the trendy girls of the Reiwa era.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of shonen manga, enemy characters tend to look cooler than the protagonist.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Self-projection onto the yellow monkey.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do middle schoolers watch anime?

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I’m glad that my preference for not being swayed by handsome men hasn’t changed.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Manga and magazines that miss the mark with the intention of gaining character or work popularity through self-projection tend to vary depending on the editor in charge.

The thread image seems to be unintentional, yet the work is popular.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Temari is not a self-projection but rather the type that normally plays as a baby but gains popularity by burning brains during live performances.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I resemble Katejina.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what kind of conversation these two would have if they were alone together?

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Re:Zero is still popular among male middle and high school students.

It seems like there isn’t anyone who wants to be like Subaru-kun…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

One of the reasons why the Imperial arc is really boring is because of the existence of the right.

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Considering that the main readership of “Furihen” is in their 40s to 50s, it’s truly hell.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve heard that Proseka has become quite the factory for dark history.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is your problem?! You really annoy me! I hate you!

Shut up! Ugly! … Huh… interesting woman…

I wonder if kids these days like that kind of thing too.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it looks similar to the left, the one next to me is still Jin-shi…

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It might be better to be on the left than on the right, which has clearly received an unfair evaluation of the original work and has broken down.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

I look like you, Mr. Minamoto.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Toshiaki, nameless, similar.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

The right one feels like it was lucky to hit.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Furihren has even released books for children.

Isn’t it popular?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The right side is just a bit abnormal regarding the consciousness of killing, but isn’t the essence of it just an ordinary girl who’s a bit laid-back?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was a prototype of Solitaire, but it made a pointless reappearance and confused me.

Since you’re just a knockoff of living solitaire and a bundle of discomfort, hurry up and die.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Which character are male middle and high school students?

Is it still Kirito?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I’m playing YAIBA, a time will come when Emerald will become a trend among otaku middle and high school girls!

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to think that the cat’s oblivious moves were something a guy did in the past that made him disliked, but it’s actually amusing…

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I have awakened as an esper.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It really seems like imitating and being influenced by others is something more typical for elementary school students rather than middle schoolers.

By the time they become middle school students, they start to hold back even if they like something.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is clear that the quality of the work on the left is definitely superior.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that today’s elementary school boys want to become Goku.

That’s amazing, Dragon Ball!

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

A little while ago, it was Hachiman.

I feel like I’ve been thoroughly beaten down, and that the male self-projection itself seems to be failing.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

The one that seemed most likely to influence junior high school girls among what I’ve seen recently is the final boss of the Urban Legend Demolition Center.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I resemble Oguri Cap.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

An anime character that parents want their children to aspire to.

Is it okay that Lupin the Third is included?

https://kosodate.mynavi.jp/articles/22716

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yuubel also deteriorated as a character in the Empire Arc…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think there are quite a few kids who really resonate with Witch Watch.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

From an overall perspective, the image on the right can be described as garbage, but is the one on the left strong?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

The elementary school girl is Arima Kana.

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I enjoy watching how the cat occasionally shows a little affection, but I think not many people watch it that way.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was Hachiman’s self-projection really being criticized that much…?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fern isn’t as popular with this kind of thing as you’d think.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who is on the right?

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also admired Kimblee from Fullmetal Alchemist and played around pretending to be a psychopath pretending to be an ordinary person, so I understand.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that Hachiman’s creations were constantly bashing characters other than Hachiman leaves a bad impression.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because Fern’s journey is mostly about taking care of an old woman, right?

There’s no way I could admire that.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still play around with being a psychopath, so I understand.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like fanfiction where Hachiman is made to read HACHIMAN novels and ends up with his head in his hands.

152: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Male protagonists in mobile games are too bland to have a personality that allows for self-projection, right?

I feel like this is quite different from me…

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

I admired the knowledgeable character like Raiden from Otokojuku.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes down to it, you will protect me.

I was a little selfish to my wonderful boyfriend again today.

So it’s for older sisters, Fue-run.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

I, Houtarou, look similar.

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Social game protagonists are designed to be thinly characterized, so they feel like they’re asking players to project their preferred personality onto them, which is different from self-projection.

For someone who doesn’t have those kinds of fantasies, it gives the impression that they can’t understand what you’re thinking.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

The guy now is Lyos, right?

I’m becoming worse and worse at communicating with others.

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I have never projected myself onto Yuichi Aizawa.

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Due to the heavy criticism of self-insertion, there’s a lot of people making excuses like “This character is struggling and is different from me, so I can’t self-insert” even though the protagonists of mobile games have thin character traits, and it’s sad.

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Gotou Hitori, I resemble.

Takamatsu Akira I resemble.

Inari Iseri, I look similar.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mikuroo, I resemble you.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

While adjusting my glasses, I’m getting excited.

I don’t really like that kind of thing.

Are you an idiot?

The me who casually says things like that has always admired the calm male characters.

Looking back now, I realize I had a really bad personality.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I am Jotaro, similar.
