Anime UK News feature: A Guide to the Odagiri Effect
My latest piece for Anime UK News is an in-depth guide to the “Odagiri Effect” – where TV shows and other piece of media gain a large number of women followers because the male actors and/or characters are sexually attractive.

Pictured above is Joe Odagiri, the actor after whom the effect is named after.
