[Crimson Ghost]

Lolicon (ロリコン?), also romanized as rorikon,[1] is a Japanese portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex".[2][3] In Japan, the term describes an attraction to girls,[4] or an individual with such an attraction.[5][6] Outside Japan, the term is less common and most often refers to a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are depicted in an erotic manner. The phrase is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's book Lolita, in which a middle-age man becomes sexually obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl.[7] The equivalent term for attraction to (or art pertaining to erotic portrayal of) young boys is shotacon.[8]



Yuri, a Japanese loanword referring to lesbian content in fiction, especially anime and manga.
