A guide detailing how to seduce girls using top Japanese artist community site Pixiv was recently published.
From the pages of rag “Uramono Japan”:
Tickle the ego of artists by praising their unpopular art!
1. Register and make a profile on Pixiv.
2. It’s best to up some art to your profile (doesn’t matter if you just found it online)
3. Search for the title of a manga, Dragonball or whatever
4. Find pictures with no ratings, etc.
5. Find a girl whose pictures have not been favourited (MyPic) by other users
6. Get friendly with her
Once you have found one send her mail along these lines “I saw this picture of yours – there was something very intriguing about it, I soon came to like it. I draw as well [doesn’t matter if this is a lie], so let’s get to know one another.”
Unappreciated artists receiving admiring praise are unlikely to question your motives.
After this you can strike up an exchange outside the site, and then later ask her if she’d like to visit an art gallery to see some new picture. Then go to a bar – one in three will generally accompany you back to a love hotel after drinking a bit.
Observers are quick to point out flaws (though not, sadly, colossal ethical problems) inherent in this method, not least of which is that anyone capable of executing it could probably manage a girl through normal channels.
Those doubting the efficacy of this method, or at least that there are enough creepy stalker types around trying it on to make it a real problem, can refer to the below announcement, in which Pixiv warns users that there are people using that very unhealthy method and not to trust them – anyone found at it will have their accounts terminated, they say:
However, they also published this in one of their artbooks:
[They got to know each other through Pixiv & MyPic]
6 months later…
“I’m 3 months pregnant.”
“What!? But you said it was OK!?”
“Make sure you take responsibility.”
[Low birth rate issue cleared]
Mixed messages indeed.

Sounds like way too much effort if you're just looking for sex and not an actual relationship.
You can just hold out on the drunken fuck part and just get her to like you <.<
One would assume that's the most appropriate method, but without plagiarizing, and lying early on. Then again, it seems this article is aimed at purely desperate men, or just guys with little to no morals....
Yes, you should be getting laid as often as Sankaku users.
I think the real reasoning behind this plan is to pick up a specific moe-type, instead of the easier girls found in bars, etc. It's a Japan thing.
Yeah, girls on bars are easy, if you are a drugl dealer and they want their "dosis"
haha, i was thinking the same thing...
really shallow men who take advantage of a womans feelings just to become probably a one night stand.
Too much work. The success rate would be around 100% for a philanderer such as myself, but all of you nerds are fucked. It will not work for you.
Oh look, a Internet "Casanova" calling other people nerds when he himself posts on Sankaku. How amusing.
Yeah cause sending an email, copy pasting a picture, and filling out a registration form is sooooo hard.
Weren't there already tons of guys online trying this method anyway? All I know is that any girl I see on deviant art that looks even "decent" has tons of watchers. I can only think this would be the same for pixiv.
Since it's Japan; the "It's so crazy, IT JUST MIGHT WORK!" motto could prove us all wrong.
@Darkrockslizer:
They're sheep, remember?
Isn't it faster to go to the bar and find a flirt right there??
but nobody at a bar would have shitty artistic abilities they are willing to put onto the internet, now do they?
Here, Here.
Oh Japan, the only place that thinks beer is the only answer to getting loose enough for a fling with a woman. So naive.
Kaikaku means plan and it's Japanese.
You meant keikaku.
yeah yeah and PUTOS mean 'fags' in Maid.
Keikaku.
Kaikaku means "seashell."
Sorry for double post...
In german, beer means water.
Vodka means water not beer....
Vodka means water not beer and its Russian...
Some of you fail at languages
It's correct like this: in BAVARIA beer means water.
(the actual translation of water 'd be "Wasser" but really, don't drink sparkling water in Bavaria!)
In bavaria beer is mana.
A lot of you fail at languages.
Well at least there are many germans who trink beer like its water but i dont think that counts in sense of translation. xD
Btw i dont like beer except Malzbier. ^^
Also harder stuff is better suited for getting someone drunk. Alcopops for example if they dont die because of the sugarshock...
Yeah, and in german, "gift" means "poison"...
But beer is supposedly a God's gift to happiness. :V
Sounds similar to the way certain women look for money and not an actual relationship, doesn't it? The only difference is women don't have to put in the same amount of effort to snag a sucker... err, a suitable mate.
Who says there's no gender equality in Japan?
Truth
Obviously the author has the time to write this article but probably don't have the skillz to get laid himself.
I think this can only happen in Japan, it's easy to travel around the country, so you can easily date the girl you find on the internet.
fuck! uramono japan!!
Poor pixiv user...
I want to have sex with the girls on pixiv. With the girls in the pictures, that is.
I saw that Pixiv "Don't Talk To Strangers" notice. First I thought I was in trouble, as I'm known to ask (purely innocent) questions around there from time to time. Then I realized this was in response to some less savoury folk and not us gaijin.
So all you people think about all day is sex eh?
i like how this is actually an issue for pixiv.
this is no different from people hooking up through myspace, facebook or any other social media site, the only issue of concern here is the fact that those who are trying this method are not artists at all and are just in it for the pussy.
So some guys gets lucky once and thinks he has a winning strategy.
I hope he knows that girls reads these things too.
Also posting art that isn't yours, how lame.
Draw your own damn art you big fat loser.
Less Furries eh? Sounds like my kind of place.
"2. It’s best to up some art to your profile (doesn’t matter if you just found it online)"
Art theft is so arousing.
What is this magazine!? Sounds really sketchy...
It is.
Low birth rate!? -_- Give me a fucking break....if you want to solve this issue...go freaking ask the Chinese...they've apparently cleared this issue pretty well >_>
I get to knew someone in DA...maybe I should try this one :3
This is genius...
Whoever tries to do such a thing should be ashamed. Not only because they're a complete loser, but also because it proves that they have no social life.
Oh to be amoral and in Japan! j/k This really does seem like 'the total asshole method to picking up Japanese girls on the internet' though. It's kind of sad.
To be fair, it did seem to me like that last artbook page was just for humor's sake.
