>Who is your waifu?
Kaiji Itou
>Why did you choose her?
I watched kaiji and he became one of my favorite characters, but didn't have any feelings (i am straight, he ended up being the one exception). Had a dream about 2 weeks after completion where we were married and once i woke up i was extremely attracted to him. He really did choose me.
>Since when are you together?
April 4th 2020.

>One waifu for laifu or do you have an ex?
Previous waifu (Haruhi Suzumiya, since s1 aired) fell out of top position after above happened. Still adore her though. I know it is frowned upon, but i have irl girlfriends as well. I am polyamorous and they know that i view irl and waifuism relationships/persons as equal, and I dedicate time to appreciating Kaiji every day.
>What's your view about waifuism?
Fictional love is almost better than real love. Everything about them is perfect due to not needing to be grounded in reality. It's like the longing stage of relationships, witch I find more comfortable and fulfilling. Waifuism is this specific form of love for a character being a large part of your life / dedicating yourself to them in a different way than typical love.
>Does she refer to you by your real name?
I like to think of myself as a self insert or y/n in terms of fantasizing about him. Names or thinking of him in my reality just doesn't feel the same.
>What language does she speak to you?
Japanese
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
Yes. I hate it when he is shipped with Akagi. Akagi would be a bad influence, Kaiji still loves and cares about his fellow humans even if he puts on nihilistic facade.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
Fukumoto (mangaka) has said that he doesn't like Kaiji as a person. I feel like in early kaiji (parts 1 and 2) he tried to make him more badass than he really is and just occasionally hinted at his humanitarian side. In part 6 he went a bit too much on the moe. I like to think of it as him recovering from his trauma and feeling like he can finally trust others again to make it a bit less cringe. Modern kaiji really just is a standard anime girl at this point.
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
Yes and no, fan works have a tendency towards torture porn and ugly bastards. The occasional nice and consensual ones are great though, it just takes a lot of seeing him suffer to get to it, so I mostly just re-view the same couple ones instead of looking for new r18 works.
