Have you ever found yourself drawn to a female character in an anime?
It’s actually a pretty fascinating topic to explore. Maybe—just maybe—you’ve also taken a liking to one of the waifus from the anime Violet Evergarden?
The term waifu comes from the English word "wife." Over time, it evolved into a kind of slang among anime fans, referring to a female character who feels like the ideal partner—someone you'd proudly call your fictional soulmate. Waifus usually stand out because of their distinct traits and personalities that stay with you throughout the series they appear in.
One character who’s often seen as a waifu by many fans is Violet Evergarden. She’s a former soldier who’s trying to understand emotions and the meaning of love after the war. Through her work as an Auto Memory Doll—writing letters on behalf of others—she gradually begins to discover who she really is and what it means to truly feel.
In this book, the author shares a personal perspective on Violet Evergarden as a fictional character with a rare and beautiful kind of appeal—a waifu who touches hearts in her own quiet, unforgettable way.
