"Sunao Surreal" (JP) is a term for a character who expresses their love and affection honestly and straightforwardly, but is seen as surreal because of their eccentric and slightly strange behavior. They are someone who loves their partner wholeheartedly and are always honest with their feelings towards them, but behaves in an odd or unconventional way which makes them seem surreal. Their blend of honestly loving their lover and surreal behavior is part of their unique charm.
Etymology
Meaning of the Term
Sunao surreal (素直シュール) comes from the words "sunao" (素直), meaning "honest" or "straightforward (upfront about one's feelings)", and "shuuru" (シュール), meaning "surreal (strange; not seeming real; like a dream)". The word "sunao" (素直) itself comes from the word "su" (素), meaning "real feelings" and "nao" (直), meaning "direct or bluntly (being straight to the point)".[1][2]
- Sunao = Honestly expressing feelings of love
- Surreal = Eccentric or unusual behavior
Origin
The archetype was created as a derivative of sunao cool on the Japanese Internet in 2006.[3][4]

- ↑ What is Sunao Surreal. Pixiv Encyclopedia (2010/07/05). “As the name suggests, this tag can be attached to illustrations depicting "honest and surreal" girls. It is said to have been created as a derivative of the new genre of "sunao cool". Some call them "the three honest sisters" together with "honest cool" and "honest heat", but this is not very common. Incidentally, the order of their birth is: "Sunao Cool" → "Sunao Surreal" → "Sunao Heat". Perhaps based on this, they often adore "Sunao Cool" as if she were their older sister, and love "Sunao Heat" as if she were their younger sister. Perhaps because her first line was "I like rice... Now that I think of it, I love you." She has an obsession with rice and even shows odd behavior such as eating raw rice as it is. But it seems that everything, including that, is the charm of honest surrealism.”
