I covered “Reze Kinnie” (自認レゼ JInin Reze)last time, but there are many other anime characters that girls tend to overlay their own image onto.
This time, I will introduce such characters. ✨
The Apothecary Diaries maomao 🐈⬛
Profile
A girl raised as an apothecary in the pleasure district, abnormally knowledgeable about medicine and poison.
Uses her knowledge of poison and observational skills to solve incidents and mysteries one after another.
Expressionless and detached, but the type to get extremely immersed in things she is interested in.
She is favored by Jinshi and finds it creepy.
She applies makeup to create fake freckles and blemishes to make herself look ugly on purpose.
She isn’t swept away by emotions and can view others objectively; she doesn’t flock with others, but still wants to be popular and recognized…
She is an existence that perfectly fulfills the “I’m cold/detached but smart” fantasy of middle and high school girls. 😵💫
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Übel
Profile
A girl with sanpaku eyes (visible whites) and a scornful stare.
Talkative and always wearing a faint smile. A character with no qualms about killing people.
They aren’t a couple, but she often talks to a boy of the same generation named “Land,” a character who wears glasses.
This is the kind of character favored by people who, in Japanese terms, have a “chuunibyou(edgy phase)” mindset.
They’re the type of character that makes you think, “I’m not like ordinary people,” and invites self-projection.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Shinobu Kocho
Profile
She is petite and keeps a gentle smile on her face, but deep down she harbors deep anger and a desire for revenge for her stolen family.
An intellectual character who devised a unique fighting style using “poison.”
She uses a polite and gentle tone with everyone, but is also a sharp-tongued person who casually says harsh things.
・Polite and smiling but actually sharp… This “duality” between the surface and the inner self stimulates the adolescent girls’ desire that “the real me is stronger.” 🔥😌
Common points among these characters
・Smart / Intelligent 🧠
・Compared to other characters, their appearance is not flashy but plain; they don’t look “cool,” or they actually have a beautiful face but hide it 😶🌫️
・Foul-mouthed, sharp-tongued 🗡️
・Usually suppress their emotions and live calmly, but are passionate on the inside 🔥
Summary
What kind of “〇〇 Kinnie”( 自認〇〇 Jinin Marumaru) will emerge in the future?
I believe that “〇〇 Kinnie” is a mirror reflecting the current social conditions.
I wonder what kind of “Reze Kinnie” will appear next.
