リアコ
Significado: Having genuine romantic feelings for a fictional character or idol — short for リアルに恋してる.
リアコ (from リアルに恋してる, 'really in love') describes fans who have developed genuine romantic feelings for a character or idol, beyond casual fandom. It is used self-deprecatingly and humorously by fans to acknowledge the intensity of their attachment. The term differs from 推し (oshi) which implies supporting/favoring — リアコ specifically emphasizes romantic feelings.
Ejemplos

- リアコ勢にとってキャラの恋愛回はつらい。 对于真恋党来说角色的恋爱回很难受。Para los fans riako, los episodios con tramas románticas del personaje son duros de ver.리아코 세력에게 캐릭터 연애 회차는 괴로워.
- 二次元にリアコしてるから三次元に興味ない。 因为对二次元真恋了所以对三次元没兴趣。Como estoy enamorada de personajes 2D, no me interesan las personas reales.2차원에 리아코라서 3차원에는 관심이 없어.
