Nijikon
Nijikon (二次コン), from English "2D complex", is a Japanese term that appeared in the early 1980s used to describe the affective perception certain people have that two-dimensional anime, manga, and light novel characters are more attractive visually, physically or emotionally than people from the real world. It can be expressed, to some degree, as a genuine sexual orientation in which the person loses interest in real-life people but develop feelings of love and sentimental attachment to two-dimensional characters.[1][2]
