Character dictionary

Expressions used by cute, cheerful female junior high and high school students. Often found in young girls' manga and anime with a school/academy setting, love themes etc. Girly expressions such as 「～da wa」 and 「～wa yo」 are used much more than they are by female students in real life. An abundance of lingering, sentence-ending expressions such as 「～no ni」 (even though～) and 「～kamo」 (maybe～) are characteristic of this character's speech. On the pronunciation side, the frequent use of long vowel sounds and the n syllable, plus distinctive characters such as 「～」,「っ」,「♡」 and 「!」 in manga are typical of the girl's tone.
