***"Deretsun"*** (*JP*Japanese: デレツン

Romaji: Deretsun) is a term for a *tsundere* whose *dere* side is their default mood. They are sweet, kind and loving, but have a hidden irritable side that comes out around their love interest.

## Meaning of the Name

*Deretsun* (デレツン) comes from the words "deredere" (デレデレ), meaning "lovey-dovey", and "tsuntsun" (ツンツン), a mimetic word for "irritable" or "grumpy".

### Origin

The first instance of "deretsun" can be found in episode 10 of the 2007 anime series *Lucky☆Star* (*JP*Japanese: らき☆すた

Romaji: Raki☆Suta) during the "Lucky Channel" segment at the end of the episode. In the segment, the character Kagami Hiiragi is introduced as a "tsundere" by Akira Kogami to which another character Minoru Shiraishi retorts that she isn't, prompting the question "then what term is she?". After thinking for a bit, Minoru questionably suggests "deretsun" as a possible term to describe Kagami.

## History

The term was used in the 2016 light novel series *Would You Like To Sign a Lovers Contract? -The Deretsun Young Lady and Me the Company Slave-* (*JP*Japanese: 恋人契約しませんか？－デレツンお嬢様と社畜の俺－

Romaji: Koibito Keiyaku Shimasen Ka? -Deretsun Ojousama to Shachiku no Ore-).

### Alternate Name

*Deretsun* is also sometimes unofficially referred to as "Tsundere Type B" in the Western community.

## Personality

*Derestun* are the exact opposite of *tsundere*. Most of the time they are sweet, kind, happy, and loving like a *deredere*. They are friendly with others and get along well with most people, but when they are around their love interest, they will sometimes act a little brash and rude. This happens because their love interest triggers their more irritable side.

Like a *tsundere*, *deretsun* characters become overwhelmed by their love interest and lash out because of it. However, they do not act this way towards others since they do not have feelings towards them.

## Similar Japanese Archetypes
