Nijikon (二次コン) or nijigen konpurekkusu (二次元コンプレックス), from English "2D complex", is a Japanese term that appeared in the early 1980s used to describe the affective perception that two-dimensional anime, manga, and light novel characters are more attractive visually, physically or emotionally than people from the real world.
Nijikon 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.12 They are generally attracted to the behavior and exaggerated physical or facial features of the anime/manga art style, which are perceived to be "ideal" human features.

Kamishibai (Japanese: 紙芝居, "paper play") is a form of Japanese street theater and storytelling that was popular during the Depression of the 1930s and the post-war period in Japan until the advent of television during the twentieth century. Kamishibai was told by a kamishibaiya ("kamishibai narrator") who travelled to street corners with sets of illustrated boards that they placed in a miniature stage-like device and narrated the story by changing each image.1
Kamishibai has its earliest origins in Japanese Buddhist temples where Buddhist monks from the eighth century onward used emakimono ("picture scrolls") as pictorial aids for recounting their history of the monasteries, an early combination of picture and text to convey a story.2
