Ahodere is a term that is very popular on Japanese social media. The characters belonging to the Ahodere type have an oblivious feeling of love.

Meaning of Ahodere Type

The word Ahodere combines “aho”  and “dere.” The word “aho” (アホ), means “stupid,” and “deredere” (デレデレ) means “lovey-dovey.” Thus Ahodere defines the characters that behave stupidly when their loved ones are near. Unless they are adequately informed, they won’t go for any hints.

Conclusion

Ahodere characters are generally very clumsy. They don’t know the accurate condition of their love interest. The characters are typically unable to understand all the love hints. The accurate outcry of Love is the only way to make them feel the love. Because of the oblivious nature, the ahodere characters seldom surround themselves with implications without realizing it.
