The manga-inspired origins of TikTok and X (Twitter) trending

The trend of ‘Look between X and B’ has taken TikTok by storm, where users are prompted to find an abbreviation, such as CV, between specific letters on their keyboard. This viral trend originated in conversations related to the manga universe and has since spread across various social media platforms.

According to Know Your Meme, the trend started on 4chan in 2021 with a viral post featuring a manga character where users were asked to ‘look between the T and O on your keyboard’ to reveal the character’s name. This humorous concept has evolved to include searching for names of anime characters and even celebrities by referencing specific letters on the keyboard.

For example, users may be prompted to ‘look between the P and S’ to find the letter A, associated with fear. The trend has now made its way to platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok where users continue to engage with their followers by using this keyboard-based guessing game to reveal names or phrases.

Overall, the ‘Look between X and B’ trend showcases the creative and playful nature of internet culture, where users find new and innovative ways to engage with content and spark conversation through interactive challenges.
