A photograph showing a dakimakura of Yui Yuigahamaone of the main characters of the franchise “Oregairu: My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU“, abandoned in the trash, went viral on social media.

Oregairu

Yui Yuigahama is known for her cheerful personality and her constant desire to help others, which has made her one of the "helpless" in the story. Her participation in the series' love triangle, where she competes for Hachiman Hikigaya's affection against Yukino Yukinoshita, caught the attention of many, causing her popularity to endure even after the series ended.

The reaction from internet users was immediate and the comments were both humorous and critical:

  • «She broke up with him. sad day».
  • «Soak in fabric disinfectant and you'll have a new friend».
  • «My mother saw it and threw it away».
  • «Don't put the black light on that thing».
  • «He chose Yukino, that's why haha».
  • «I need to talk to the guy who played».
  • «Whatever this story is, don't touch that pillow».
  • «She is where she belongs».
  • «Looks like the guy has a real girlfriend».
  • «The story is that all that trash comes from an apartment they are vacating».
  • «Damn, he probably caught her sleeping with another otaku».
  • «She's a little used to it like most women, but she's still good.».
  • «Wife/mother found it or threw it away before wife/mother found it».
  • «I can adopt her and make her my wife! Someone needs to save her!».
  • «That anime girl is whatever, she probably cheated».
  • «He found someone he can really cuddle with at night».
  • «Someone else's trash is someone else's treasure (It's my treasure, I'm carrying it)».
  • «The story is that they found out who was the best girl».

This phenomenon on social media not only highlights fans’ devotion to the characters of “Oregairu”but also anime culture and the sense of humor found in online communities. Yui's now-discarded image has reignited debates about the best girl in the series, showing how characters can leave a lasting impression on fans' hearts.
