This fujoshi originally hesitated on getting married because she was worried that it would interfere with her Comic Market schedule.

Information:
This female character recently started dating her boyfriend, who is surprised at all of her fujoshi qualities. When visiting Shibuya, a trendy part of Tokyo, she sees it primarily as a means to visit the otaku goods store Mandarake. Though she is into series popular with fujoshi such as Prince of Tennis, she also has knowledge of works such as Mahoromatic and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. In fact, she pairs the two Higurashi characters Maebara Keiichi and Irie Kyousuke.
