Everyone has their reasons. Whatâs yours, sister?
Japanese website Otalabo polled over 600 individuals about what led them to become an âotakuâ. Otalab focuses on polling teenage females, and it should be noted that the website uses the word âotakuâ and not the gender specific fujoshi, which means literally means ârotten girlâ. The term âotakuâ can encompass a wide variety of interests, from video games to anime and from model trains to military goods.
