A 54 card mascot deck inspired by Otaku moe culture

 
Diamonds | Hearts | Spades | Clubs

These four terms are all part of the otaku "moe" phenomenon that has been growing in popularity these past few years, and in particular are called "gap-moe" traits.

Moe is a hard word to define, but it embodies the feeling of attraction or cuteness in a character or even a person.

Gap-moe is a particular type of moe which derives its value from a "gap" in the character's personality. The 4 examples here are considered a type of gap-moe because of the stark contrast between the dere side and their other half.

Dere|Deck is more than just a playing card deck. It is the beginning of a move towards moe in the west. Each suit is represented by a personification of a dere type (tsundere, kuudere, yandere, dandere) in the form of these girls.

The Cards

The deck consists of 54 cards - 4 suits of 13 and 2 jokers. The 3 face cards of each suit are full detailed illustrations of each girl representing the suit. For example in the Tsundere suit, the K, Q, J shows a custom tsun-tsun, tsundere, and dere-dere illustration of the girl in that order. The Ace card has a special design and the 2-10 will show her expression and body pose ranging from tsun-tsun to dere-dere.

Our amazing artists!

We have many artists to thank for their crucial help, but these 4 are playing a key role in developing the artwork and designs for the four girls. Each artist has taken on the role of one girl, one type of dere, and will be illustrating that suit.
