The siscon fetish has a soaring popularity among the fans of 2D. Heck, I even touched on a bit of it in a previous post. I suspect it might be as well sought-after like other well-known themes such as Nekomimi and Megane. When such themes are a huge hit among otakus, they tend to take take the initiative, bringing things to the next level by borrowing the concept from 2D, and integrating the concept into 3D. Visualizing just isn’t enough to satisfy some needs.
For Nekomimi fetishes, it is unfortunate that humans are unable to grow real cat ears, and the poor otakus would have to settle for females who don headbands with those furry ears. As for Megane fetishes, it is realistic, as there are glasses in the real world. However, it is so realistic, many end up disappointed and feeling cheated. As opposed to the 2D world where the beauty of the ALL meganekkos’ exceed any unimaginable standard, only an extreme minority in the 3D world appear really attractive in glasses. The rest are either average or worse, invoking a nauseous sensation on sight.
Like the 2 themes mentioned above, Siscon is no exception. Stay on to find out why.

Ever wondered where the Imouto Complex theme in popular modern series such as Da Capo originated from? I have always been puzzled by this question, although the theme does not appeal to me at all, in any sense.
When I chanced upon this manga released by Mitsuru Adachi (also the author of the well-known baseball series, H2) in 1980, I realised that it might be the ancestor of the ever-popular theme among hordes of otakus. After all, I don’t particularly know of any series with a similar theme in the 1980s.
The name of the manga? Miyuki.
As I am feeling rather sluggish, I suggest you read the Wikipedia link above for more details, as my introduction would be merely a few lines.Basically, the story is about this guy, Wakamatsu Masato, who has a girlfriend named Miyuki and lives with his younger sister who also goes by the same name. Hence, there are 2 Miyukis. Sounds rather uninteresting right? Wait up, there’s a twist.
Masato and his sister are not blood-related, and hence theoretically speaking, it’s perfectly normal if they are a couple.
