Menhera Mug
メンヘラ (Menhera) is Japanese internet slang for somebody who has, likely suffers from mental illness or needs help for their mental illness. The term was seemingly popularized on 2Channel's (now 5Channel as of late 2017) mental health board Menherer (now Menhera) and was originally abbreviated as "Menhel", deriving from the word "mental health". It does not refer to any mental illness in specific but is moreso an ambiguous term of nuance. Although Menhera is intentionally different from previous slurs and used to avoid discrimination, there is still a stigma surrounding it. Being that Menhera are mentally unstable and their behavior can escalate very quickly: stalking, throwing tantrums, attention-seeking, testing their partner's loyalty and threatening self harm. In the late 2010s, Menhera began to emerge in the form of a fashion through the substyle 'Yami Kawaii', that would challenge Japanese society's views on mental health bluntly. Pastel medical accessories like syringes, pins with nooses + pills and vent art on oversized clothing on full display. A series of satire comics by Bisuko Ezaki titled "Wrist cut warrior Menherachan/メンヘラチャン" that originally started off as vent art became popularized through Yami Kawaii as well. The character has now become a staple in the fashion. However, controversy arose when in early 2019, Ezaki trademarked the word 'Menhera'. It has since been bastardized as only a 'sickly cute aesthetic' by westerners on Instagram.

this mug reminds me of my cat, it does nothing and cant pour me a nice cup of joe. It is horrible, it doesn't tell nor does it allow me sip on it. It stops me from drinking from it, its like the mug is trying to torture me.
love this mug! Goes perfect with the Morbius meal.
Had no idea my name had a definition!!
Bought for an inside joke. Perfect.
i love the schizophrenia mug its amazing
This cute mug reminded me of a quote from an obscure biography I found quite by accident in a tiny hole-in-the-wall 2nd hand shop in Portland, ME in 1987: 'The Life and Times of Lazarus of Bethany'. Quote: " We are all walking wounded held together by the scars of our forbearance and the charity of our sisters and brothers." Truer words have never been said.
Love it . Its me down to a T
unlike most mug customization, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Bravo!
i liked that the mug had my name on it and a funny definition, i will definitely buy some for my friends(with their names of course).
I bought it as sort of a gag gift for my son and his new girlfriend and they loved it
I haven't even bought it, it smells nice
nice quality, vivid image
What's funny is the saying that everyone searched for is the one that popped up on the cup. So all the weird gross sayings that people are commenting on are completely out of context to everyone seeing their comment.
I would buy a morbillion of these mugs.
Coffee is good with a banana (minus the Shimflins!)
