Mai Waifu

YOUR WAIFU IS SHIT!!!11!

This article is about internet marriage, not to be confused with real marriage.

A real tough guy, huh?

Mai Waifu is an Otaku phrase literally not meaning "My Wife". A "waifu" is an anime character that a fan feels a special attachment to and "claims" her as his/her own. Some say this is unhealthy and proceed to bitch about it. Said fan typically appears in Mai Waifu threads on any weeb-related forums in order to talk about their favorite anime character(s) and their feelings towards them.

The phrase originates from a random scene from Azumanga Daioh. In fact, here you go.

The female/gay equivalent of a "Mai Waifu" is a Mai Husbando, because Otakus are illiterate in both English and Wapanese

You, having a great time on a date with your waifu.

	“	Somewhere in an alternate universe your waifu dreams about you, her husbando. She frequents a board very much like this one and she posts pictures of you, In this dimension you are a star of your very own slice of life anime. She has a folder on her computer dedicated to you, it is over 10 GB big and has every conceivable fan art, rule 34, and picture related to you, She sleeps with a tear stained body pillow with your image on it, She is madly in love with you and only you .	„

	“	Has your waifu inspired you or motivated you to do anything extraordinary in your life? For example, my waifu inspired me to pick up the guitar and learn to play it, and now I already have an electric one, and am pretty decent at it. She inspires me to go work out and stay healthy, because I know she wants me to be fit and healthy. Since I found my waifu, I lead a lot better life and am a lot happier. And the best thing about it, 3D girls don't even interest me anymore, which saves a lot of time and money.	„
