Eight Tsundere Lines to Win a Man’s Heart

Tsundere
The classic tsundere hair flick

Following my recent review of the so-wrong-yet-so-right tsuncest (yes I just made that up) PSP game OreImo, this article from Otome Sugoren seems timely. Of course, I do not personally read what appears to be the Japanese equivalent of Cosmopolitan and was merely linked to this particular article. Please don’t judge me.

So anyway, here are the top eight classic tsundere lines chosen by Otome Sugoren’s highly scientific surveys (lol) for your guilt-ridden perusal.

Tsundere
So tsundere that she is used as the textbook example

Number 1: “hima datta kara!”
The girl calls you up saying, “I had nothing else to do!”

Girls who call you for no particular reasons to grace you with their company because they are “free”. The way they stubbornly stick to their excuse is cute. Guys sense a hint of affection behind such statements and feel happy.

Tsundere
“I guess your present is okay…”

Number 2: “tekitou ni oitoite yo”
Presented with a gift, the girl says, “Just leave it somewhere” and receives the gift haphazardly, but her face looks very happy.

Although they try to act like they do not care about the gift, their grinning expressions make you feel at ease. Girls who try to maintain a facade contrary to their true feelings can melt a guy’s heart.

Tsundere
She doesn’t need your help

Number 3: “hontou wa jibun de dekirun dakedo”
The girl asks for your help but stresses, “I could’ve done it myself.”

For example, smart and confident girls who have problems with electronics may try to hide their shortcomings when asking for help. Girls who try to hide their weakness but fail can be seen as adorable by guys.

Tsundere
She’s just encouraging you

Number 4: “darashiganai otoko dane! “
The girl complains, “You are such a slob!” but still helps you out.

The senpai at your part-time job who scolds you for messing up but covers up your mistakes perfectly. No matter how much they complain, these girls still can’t help but lend you a hand in the end. Guys love the maternal instinct.

Tsundere
>:|

Number 5: “bakka jyanai no!”
“Are you stupid?” The girl curses at you but still accepts you for who you are.

You quit your job without consulting her and she asks if you are an idiot, but in the end consoles you and says, “If you really can’t find a job, I’ll support you.” No matter how angry they get, these girls stand by you in the end. Their affection gives guys peace of mind.

Tsundere
The forgotten dark history

Number 6: “anta, douse hima desho!”
The girl says, “You are free anyway, right?” and asks you out on a date.

The girl is trying to make an underhand remark about how you have no one else to go on dates with, but nevertheless it makes you smile. Guys enjoy the back-and-forth process in establishing an “unspoken understanding” with such girls.

Tsundere
It’s no big deal.

Number 7: “arigataku omoinasai yo!”
The girl hands you a present and says, “You had better be grateful” while avoiding your glance.

Girls who try to hide their embarrassment by doing this are unbearably cute. Their snide contradictory remarks accentuate the importance of their actions and make their love for you stand out even more prominently.

Tsundere
Has this line ever been truthful in the course of human history?

Number 8: “tsuide ni tsukutta dake dayo!”
The girl prepares a bento filled with love for you, but says, “I just happened to make some extra!”

Even though she claims it wasn’t meant for you, the bento is for some reason full of your favourite food. A homemade bento alone is already a powerful item for winning a guy’s heart, but its effects are made even more powerful by the fact that it is inexplicably sumptuous despite being made “incidentally”.

Tsundere
She is not blushing

Tellingly, most of the statements end with an exclamation mark. Ah… who doesn’t love a tsundere girl?

Now you know enough lines to write your own light novel! Just repeat each one 500 times and you are all set. If you need more inspirations, you can try this CD.

It is surprisingly difficult to find pictures of tsundere girls looking tsun.

According to Nico Nico Pedia, ξ゚⊿゚)ξ is the official emoticon for tsundere. It depicts a twin-tail girl making an unhappy face.

And to end on a wtf note.

Tsundere

    Now I want to hear your take on womanizing in real life! I think some of these are applicable to a tsundere guy :P

    What is this real life you speak of?

  7. Poro says:

    Dude, is real life by anyways associated with outside? I heard about that game. No lag. The gameplay systems is amazing. I heard that the graphics were unreal!

    I can only imagine from what deep recess of 4chan that image was salvaged…

  11. Danno says:

    The tsun- implies that the female is highly selective of her mating partners, and intelligent enough to employ façades. The dere- implies that she has selected us, the viewer, as her partner. It’s all so clear!

  12. Azure says:

    Well this valentines day would probably be miserably lacking of tsun…

    ξ゚⊿゚)ξ

  13. lambdadrive says:

    Real life as in… how you would attract a girl outside of the 2D world!

    I have been reading your blogs for a while now and I find your writing pretty insightful. So I thought it would be interesting to know your views in relationships!

  14. Danno says:

    Even though Darkmirage clearly possesses clear reasoning and a formidable intellect… and is well-read… I doubt he has first-hand experience.

  15. lambdadrive says:

    Don’t judge a book by its cover. The quietest guy in the room may be the greatest womanizer! For now, I can only sit and wait to find out :).

  16. Danno says:

    Zees is true.

    Called himself a hikikomori, though. Unless in jest.

  17. MkMiku says:
