Welcome to the Tsundere Males fanclub.
The Tsundere Club was only for females, so we needed one for men.
If you joined this club, that means you like someone from the character relations, or one similar to them. So now you wonder, "what are tsundere males?". You know when a character (that happens to be a guy) seems constantly angry, but later shows his vulnerabilities, such as blushing? Those adorable characters are what you'll find in this club.
Tsundere males are mostly targeted on female viewers/readers. But that doesn't mean that men can't like them too. :D
The Rule of Tsundere
- taken from the tsundere club -
"Tsundere" is derived from the words "tsuntsun" and "deredere," meaning "aloof, pointed, morose" and "exhausted, lovestruck" respectively.
Another term for Tsundere Males: Oranyan.
Thanks of one of the regular visitors, I got a tip for this post. Well, if tsundere is supposed to be a girl who is always cold but sometimes sweet to you, would it be alright to describe such a guy? If he is so cold to you, but sometimes becomes nice, could he be labelled as a tsundere as well? Well, yes. But is there any other saying? Yes... that is オラニャン[oranyan].
In fact, this was not born in the otaku society, but kogals’ circles. To get to the point, オラニャン is an abbreviation form of オラオラニャンニャン[ora-ora nyan-nyan]. オラオラ[ora-ora] sounds like a rude guy’s shouting. Maybe you could hear this in such a delinquent boys’ stories. Well, how can I put it... sounds like “Oi! Oi!”. They would say like 行くぜオラァ！[ikuze, oraa!, let's go, guys!]. オラオラ金出せや！[ora-ora, kane dase ya!, Oi oi, give fucking money, eh?]. Does it make any sense?
Meanwhile, ニャンニャン[nyan-nyan] is actually a cat’s mew-mew. Caught on, haven’t you? Although he is so cheeky and rude in front of everybody else, he would be very sweet to a girl who he loves. Probably he could be still sweet even when others are there. In this case, it might be called as オラデレ [oradere]. There is a more common word to describe this type of guy, 恐妻家[kyousaika]. However, this is something like a husband who is under his wife’s thumb. Even though he is arrogant to his surbordinates, he can’t resist his wife or be very sweet to her.
I think you can see a オラニャン guy in real life. I have seen it in Korean soap operas. Umm, this is an irrelevant note, I have shared a room with Korean guy a long time ago. He was definitely a oranyan. He used to be very rude to me and other roommates, but he changed his attitude when his girlfriend was near him, or phoned him. In fact, he was hated by anyone else…To tell the truth, I didn’t like him, nor like this type of guy. Because I am an otomen, you know.
At any rate, speaking of oranyan, I can think of Inori and Morimura Tenma in Harukanaru toki no naka de, Maebara Keiichi in Higurashi no naku koro ni. Unlike tsundere, he would have to be cheeky[生意気], rather than cold. This is the most distinctable point between tsundere and oranyan.
