'''Toonophilia''', also known as '''schediaphilia''', is the [[:Category:Paraphilias|paraphilia]] of being attracted to [[cartoon]] [[character]](s) ('''toons''') emotionally or [[sex]]ually.

In Japan, the sexual or affective attraction towards two-dimensional [[anime]], [[[manga]], and Japanese light novel characters is called '''Nijikon''' (二次コン) or '''nijigen konpurekkusu''' (二次元コンプレックス), from the English phrase "'''2D complex'''". Non-Japanese anime/manga fans also use the term. <br />
<br />
In China the term used is '''Zhǐ-Xìng-Liàn''' (紙性戀, lit. paper-philia).<br />
<br />
'''Animesexual''' (formerly '''animesexual''', '''mangasexual''', or '''eminaficticare''') is a 2012 [[queer]] sexual variant used by American [[LGBTQIA+]] members to describe these same Japanese characters.<ref>[https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Animatesexual ''Animatesexual''] page on the [https://lgbtqia.wiki/ LGBTQIA+ Wiki]. Retrieved March 15, 2024.</ref> Its romantic counterpart is '''animateromantic'''.<br />
<br />
== Non-related term(s) ==<br />
<br />
These terms are not to be confused with '''fictosexuality''', the [[sex|sexual attraction]] towards any [[Character|fictional character]]s (not just [[toon]]s). Romantic attraction towards these characters is called '''fictoromantic'''.<br />
