Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie
| Who do you think the main target audience is here? There could be a couple of answers IMO, because this fetish anime has both the submissive weak Male and the Domineering strong Female. I'm going to go with the Female audience more here, the cool, Miss Perfect archetype seems much more desirable, rather than inserting into some feminine guy who acts like an seven year old when he's embarrassed or upset. You just wonder when this dude is going to get inevitably pegged by his GF one day... But that's just my take on this, what do we all think? |
| Was waiting for this one ngl 😂 SELF INSERTION 🗿 |
 • Watching this season • My Anime list • Comment |
| And by the way, I'm in no way criticizing or shaming your particular kinks and fetishes, if that's what you like or participate in, then that's all fine and dandy. They are your interests and you have the right to do them. |
| Małe, obviously. If genders were reversed, you'd have generic shoujo romcom. |
 |
| Tbh didn't think about that but I feel like it's for the male audience can't give a reason tho anyway the mc is really bland who gets flustered even by little things which is like a bit cringe tbh |
 |
| I just don't get the appeal of this show. It's even more bland than Tonikaku Kawaii. There's no reason for these people to be a couple except for "reasons" and the male character is just utterly spineless and pathetic. The male MC in Tonikaku Kawaii was boring and ridiculously innocent but he had a lot of good qualities too. You saw the reasons that couple existed. Both offered things to each other. And the female MC in this show is...just as boring but at least she's capable of doing things. This is just incomprehensible as an interesting show. It feels like this girl is more of a bodyguard/babysitter than a girlfriend. |
| There is nothing to stop you from self-inserting yourself to the waifu even though you're a straight guy. My desire to protect Izumi is just bigger than the waifu-bait ngl. Tbh, I relate more to Bakugo guy lmao. |
| Well, if it means having someone like Shikimori-san protect me, then I would totally self-insert into Imaizumi. |
 |
| This isn't really a "fetish" anime. Nagatoro-san fits that bill much better. There's certainly a role reversal dynamic, but at least the manga intends for it to be more wholesome/natural, while I don't know what the fuck is happening in the anime. I would say the target audience is definitely male, and while guys into dominant girls will find more to like here, a cute, capable waifu, with a cool demeanor can't ever be a bad thing. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

| intended audience is probable male, but as a girl I can speak to the shikimori aspect. who wouldn't want to be the most popular girl, look like a model and have random people tell you how beautiful you are, have a ton of people wanting to be your friend, and also have a boyfriend who practically worships you? |

| It's a Best Girl/Perfect Girlfriend show, so the main target audience is definitely male. Don't know about the self-insert part of the question though, because outside of having someone like Shikimori for a girlfriend, I'm not sure who would want to be Izumi. |

Izumi is just that precious. |
