My ACG Parents

Raised by parents deeply immersed in anime, comics, and games culture, Tong Qi spent her entire childhood surrounded by the otaku lifestyle. Despite this constant exposure, she has grown up determined to distance herself from it entirely. She makes every effort to avoid anything associated with fandom subcultures, striving instead to live a completely conventional life free from the eccentricities that defined her upbringing. In her pursuit of normalcy, Tong Qi places her admiration on Yang Wei, a classmate who embodies everything she values. He appears to be the perfect, well-adjusted young man—bright, grounded firmly in the real world, and entirely untouched by the niche interests she works so hard to escape. She considers him her personal idol, representing the ideal three-dimensional existence she has always longed to achieve. However, her carefully constructed perception shatters when she unexpectedly hears Yang Wei use the term "fujoshi." This single word, deeply rooted in the very fandom culture she despises, comes directly from the mouth of the person she admires most. The revelation forces Tong Qi to confront an unsettling reality, blurring the strict boundary she drew between her ordinary aspirations and the otaku world she tried so desperately to leave behind.
