About

Peak Fiction is a slang expression primarily used in anime and manga communities to comment on the quality of writing in a piece of media, both sincerely and ironically. The phrase has been used online at least since 2018 and has spawned a series of reaction memes such as Dies From Peak Fiction.

Origin

Online, the word "peak" has been used synonymously with "absolute best" or "superb." Some of the earliest examples of the expression "peak fiction" date back to anime communities in 2018. For example, on March 17th, 2018, an anonymous 4chan[1] user made a post in /a/ in which they used it to describe the latest episode of Dragon Ball Super anime (shown below, top). On September 12th, a 4chan[2] user commented that Civil War limited comic series was pick fiction in /co/ (shown below, bottom).
