77% of Japanese young adults report having no partner, the highest such figure yet reported.
The results of an annual relationship survey found 77% of Japan’s “new adults” (i.e. 20-year-old Japanese who celebrate their coming-of-age ceremony this year) report having no partner, up from 50% when the survey was first held in 1997.
A writer familiar with such matters explains, for once without blaming anything on anime or games:
“Love is a second or third priority in the recession. It used to be embarrassing if you had no boy or girlfriend. These days boys don’t even try to get a girlfriend even if they are just being used as a woman’s personal chaffeur, they have no greed.”

Well... forever alone?
At least I'm not alone...
well, you were never alone. jk ;D
You Are (Not) Alone
Forever Alone? Nonesense... I think Charlie Sheen said it best: "I'M WINNING!"
But your avatar is Kimori-chan so you should understand the peace and simplicity of being forever alone.
77% of young people have a waifu
77% are 2D fanboys
/me being one of 'em :3
Hentai is cool but its stupid that there are people who prefer look at draws than having a real girl and fuck her... I bet if anyone had the change to freely choose between one you wouldnt say that lol
Who said anything about hentai, dope?
nope, it's not stupid. Unless you're talking about pornstars/super-hot girls, those are the only ones worth fucking...
for all the rest, 2D forever!
Consider the fact that with woman's body come a lot of other things that are simply a pain in the ass. Or maybe you live in a country where woman do not brag about the "equal rights but we want men as our servants" thing? If that's the case I envy you.

I pity you, bro. It sucks to live in US/EU then.

It does make sense for "2D fanboys" to fap to hentai and not so much to 3D, right? Well there you have it.
03:38
... pornstars aren't that good.
04:29
What the fuck. As far as we know, he really is from a Western country. What's your point? Before you say anything, take a good look at 03:04 (OP) and 03:42 (direct response).
The girls want the perfect guy
The guys want the perfect girl
The guy switches to 2D
The girl switches to becoming a porn star
nice poem
Guys don't want perfect girls. They just want girls who don't really exist anymore. Girls without greed.
@Kohii
No, they don't exist *in Japan*. Girls elsewhere are actually motivated to be more than a leech.
@Ayareiko
If my Japanese teachers are any indication, they still DO exist in Japan, but they are rare to say the least.
Otherwise I don't see a reason why they'd give up Japanese life style to come live in a 3rd world country. Sure they get paid well here, but nothing compared to Japanese salaries.
They're about as common in Japan as elsewhere... in Japan, the girls are just more upfront (and conscious) about it.
Oh, and "greed"? Seriously? They're not greedy - they just want what they feel is a 'hot guy', which is of course disgusting in its own sense. But still.
I wasn't aware that the amount in your wallet affected physical attraction.
Something seems off here.
ditto
I am a 2D fanboy and have a waifu
same here Jack :3
77% of youth would rather shag their friends than deal with covering the bill, mood swings and generally being another's lapdog.
Waifu? *looks that up* Should have known. Fucking weeabos.
I can understand not wanting a relationship (and all the baggage that goes with it) but those actually thinking they don't want physical relations with the opposite sex (or same if that's your predilection) are kidding themselves.
Of course! If they didn't, they wouldn't have "waifu" in the first place!
It's like being able to go halfway without all the "baggage" to deal with.
You had to "look up" waifu? ... Fucking non-otaku nerds.
.. Or, he doesn't speak your language.
So sorry that some countries try to be a bit more multicultural then your own. Is this a crime?
@7:38 Anon
Really now, you're being quite silly if you believe no one can willingly renounce physical relations, specially since it's nothing 'new'.
Have we never heard of celibacy before? Buddha renouncing his wife to purse an ascetic life? sure you can argue it's mostly a "religious characters" thing, but it does show it's not implausible.
How the flying fuck could you twist this to include god? Jesus even for a troll you infuriate me. God doesn't have a damn thing to do with it so stfu. He's got better things to do then coerce kids into fucking.
lol ... I don't even... what are you all doing? You can't tell me you are too perverted to try to date one? and I don't believe 77% (both girls and boys) are ugly.. no never! .. Hm..
“Love is a second or third priority in the recession. It used to be embarrassing if you had no boy or girlfriend. " wtf? it's not the first thing? (okay, I can understand it maybe.. but then it's embarrassing if you don't have one? don't get it :D
why spend their money on real women when they have faithful waifus :D
>it's embarrassing if you don't have one? don't get it :D
There was a stigma like that a decade ago amongst the young people you know.
So LovePlus finally bears its fruits.
Quickly, send 10000000 copies to africa!
Goodbye AIDS, Hello 2D Girls~
You can definitely say that if that were to happen, nothing of value would be lost.
All I can say about that is Good good.

I don't suppose this could also potentially solve China's problems with its "one child policy"?
That would probably be regulated as well. One dating sim per person.
Or white people living in the USA or Canada not willing to have any offspring. European Caucasian is a dying breed.
Why would they need more than one anyway?
Woah! Very nice idea to solve the population explosion in so many countries. And maybe another way of effective hiv prevention. Never thought of this way.
Btw, i live in a 3rd world country and population here is in sky rocket mode. Eroge, 2d moe, could save our country! But first thing's first, they need to translate loveplus to different languages.
Its not exactly a necessity in life.
In case anyone was wondering, the picture is from Wanko to Kurasō.
And that's one of the least perverted pictures from the game...
So True~ XD
... which isn't very noteworthy, though - especially for a nukige.
The dialogue just made the scene more epic...
The image name already pointed that out but thx for heads up.
Reminds me (once again) I gotta get around to this game. But I have a million "get around to"s and doubt I'm alone.
You're not alone, not on this one.
But Wanko to Kurasou is worth it.
you are not alone , you got voices in your head for a company . ....
It's one of few VNs I've finished. It has some surprisingly mature writing for an eroge.
I loved every minute of it. It was such great VN. :)
never did get around to play nadeshiko route
Meh, Nadeshiko route isn't worth it, unless you are aiming for CGs.
Yeah, game was pretty good guy, has cute-sounding seiyuus and doesn't afraid of anything.
I WOULD have clocked it, if my other computers with it didn't crash and the storyline didn't kinda dissolve into cramming a ton of sex into a short period.
But whenever I hear the name "Junichi", you know what I think of...
I thought it was Yuuichi? lol
It's the best game to where not only to you get to have fun with most of the girls, but some of them are either doggirls or catgirls. *sigh* If only that game had bunnygirls.... no wait that would be too dangerous because if they get horny there's no end to it. lol
