Megane



Megane (Japanese, literally "wearer of glasses") is a Japanese nickname - and Anime Fan Speak - for guys with glasses.

The anime-fan term is usually restricted to attractive characters where the glasses serve as a fetish object. They come in several standard types:


 * For sweet, shy guys with glasses who inspire Moe feelings of protectiveness, see Megane. (For sweet, shy girls with glasses who inspire Moe feelings of protectiveness, see Meganekko.)
 * For guys whose glasses indicate that they are studious, aloof, or stoic, see Stoic Spectacles.
 * For cruel lovers (mostly men) with glasses who inspire kinky masochistic fetishes, see Kichiku Megane (troped here as Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend).
 * For glasses explicitly treated as a fetish object, see Sexy Spectacles.

Despite the fact that some North American fans think that this is a fanspeak term, "Megane" has been used in manga and anime to describe males who wear glasses at least since Rumiko Takahashi wrote Urusei Yatsura back in the early 1980s.
