'''Animesexual''', also known as '''mangasexual''', is an [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] identity and a form of [[Fictosexual|fictisexuality]] where one is exclusively or almost exclusively attracted to anime/manga characters. Many [[A-Spec|a-spec]] people only feel attraction towards people who they know could never possibly be in a relationship with, such as fictional characters. While it is normal to occasionally have a crush on fictional characters, if one is animesexual they might feel like it is difficult or impossible to be attracted towards people in real life. If the attraction is not exclusive, animesexual people may feel as though they are more frequently attracted to anime/manga characters than they are to people in real life. |

The term can be used to on its own or it can be used in combination with other terms. The romantic counterpart is [[animeromantic]]. |

The animesexual flag has an unknown creator. It is also unknown if the stripes have any specific meaning. |

The alternative animesexual flag was made by an anonymous wiki user on October 24, 2020. It was made in response to complaints about the original flag. The stripes have also been given meanings: light blue represents the parody and sports anime genres, blue represents the fantasy and mystery anime genres, grey represents manga and anime as a whole (including all genres not represented by the other four stripes), pink represents the romance and horror anime genres, and yellow represents the comedy and slice of life anime genres.[[File:Animesexual 3.png|thumb|Another alternate flag]]The third flag was made by a user on November 15th, 2020. It is based off of the colors on the other two flags, with an added purple. Grey represents manga/book spinoffs and [[genderless]] characters, light blue represents parody/sports genres and [[multigender]] characters, blue represents fantasy genres and [[masculine]] characters, purple represents [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] characters and mystery/horror genres, pink represents romance and [[feminine]] characters, yellow represents comedy genres and [[intersex]] characters, and white represents [[otherkin]]-like characters and all other genres. |

The fourth flag was made by a user going by Weniviere on November 18th, 2020. The two light blue stripes stand for manga/book spinoffs and genderless characters, two dark blue stripes stand for masculine characters and fantasy genres, purple stands for non-binary characters and mystery/horror genres, pink represents romance and feminine characters, yellow represents comedy genres and intersex characters, and grey represents otherkin-like characters. It is based off of the previous three flags. |
