Description
Harumi Fujiyoshi is a character from the second season of the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei anime series. She is a second-year high school student, recognizable by her glasses, black shoulder-length hair, and gray eyes. Her name is a pun on the word fujoshi, a Japanese term for female fans of yaoi, which is media depicting romantic relationships between male characters, and Harumi is the name of a former location for the Comic Market convention. This directly reflects her primary trait as a devoted fujoshi and the only one in her class.
Personality-wise, Fujiyoshi is notably comfortable with her hobby to the extent that her classmates are aware of it, yet she still experiences some shyness about showing others her own yaoi doujinshi (self-published works) manuscripts. A key aspect of her personality is her difficulty in distinguishing conventional thinking from her own personal opinions, a trait that even extends to her perceptions of other fujoshi. For example, she often draws very unconventional pairings of male characters, though she also enjoys popular ones and even some heterosexual pairings. Her role in the story is largely defined by this perspective, often imagining yaoi pairings involving her teacher, Nozomu Itoshiki, with other male characters. This hobby is her central motivation and a lens through which she views the world around her.
In terms of abilities, Fujiyoshi is a talented artist and a regular participant at Comic Market, where she sells her doujinshi that range across various genres including Gundam SEED and Pretty Cure. A distinctive and somewhat contradictory trait is her athleticism, which is surprisingly high for a fujoshi stereotype. This physical ability is explained as being directly forged by her passion; her stamina, strength, and speed have been developed by pushing herself to endure the long, grueling hours of walking, standing, and carrying heavy bags at large doujinshi events like Comic Market. Her devotion to acquiring yaoi doujinshi has thus conditioned her body, making her a fujoshi in both mind and physique. This makes her an accidental child with an unusual combination of artistic hobby and athletic skill.
