2ch netizens have been touched by drawings from a Chinese netizen who adds his 2D girlfriend to pictures of his life.
Japanese netizens have been amazed at the pictures, which show a very different side to the way that they usually perceive their Chinese counterparts; their comments are generally full of praise at how tasteful and skillful these “moving” pictures are.

2D Girlfriend Trends Online
Hanging out with his “girlfriend” at Săng-huŏng-chék-háe̤ng, (a tourist spot in Fuzhou), she stays with him even though her “boyfriend” is buying clothes… But these pictures of a “lovers'” date published on Weibo by a manga/anime fan are not the usual kind — they are of a 2-D lover. The guy’s “lover” has been drawn in by hand, and they are so cute that they have captured the hearts of a lot of internet users, the Chinese newspaper People’s Daily reports.
Comments from 2ch.net:
アンクルホールド(東京都):
She’s so white.
リバースネックブリーカー(チベット自治区):
Surprisingly white.
ボマイェ(愛知県):
These are really tasteful.
キングコングラリアット(家):
Very classy.
稲妻レッグラリアット(愛知県):
These are of a much higher quality than the ones by disgusting Japanese otaku.
アイアンフィンガーフロムヘル(茨城県):
These pictures are really well drawn, aren’t they?
ダイビングフットスタンプ(やわらか銀行):
Hey, she’s pretty cute.
アイアンフィンガーフロムヘル(三重県):
Well, these are more sophisticated than those disgusting otaku who just put a cake in front of their computer displays every year cos that’s all they know how to do.
メンマ(山口県):
I like these.
ショルダーアームブリーカー(東日本):
Umm, looks kinda ghostly…
ダイビングヘッドバット(中部地方):
So Chinese otaku like these kinds of pictures too?
ダイビングエルボードロップ(奈良県):
The ideal for Chinese guys is also a girl with black hair who’s kind and gentle huh?
Brown hair is the colour of shit. I really don’t get it.
キングコングラリアット(dion軍):
Chinese women are pretty strong-minded so the guys fall for gentle girls.
It must be strange for fist-fights between men and women to be the norm.
マシンガンチョップ(家):
Kinda feels like we could be friends with the Chinese…
ドラゴンスクリュー(沖縄県):
It’s lovely that they seem happy.
張り手(山梨県):
These are kind of touching.
ウエスタンラリアット(dion軍):
So he imagines the place before taking the picture and then draws her in? That’s high-level stuff.
レインメーカー(埼玉県):
This makes me sad.
ビッグブーツ(北海道):
I’m moved by how original these are.
ドラゴンスープレックス(北海道):
The artistic sense here is the same as a Japanese person.
Real Chinese women are pretty much the complete opposite of this.
マスク剥ぎ(埼玉県):
So they’re finally catching up with Japan?
ショルダーアームブリーカー(東京都):
The Chinese are starting to understand moe!
I’m looking forward to what’s to come.
キングコングニードロップ(神奈川県):
It’s really great that he didn’t draw her in full colour and put in captions.
ダイビングフットスタンプ(福岡県):
So those guys have already come this far, huh…
