Japanese man wants to marry manga character

Earlier this month, a Japanese man launched a campaign to allow him to marry a manga character, Mikuru Asahina from the manga Haruhi Suzumiya.

Taichi Takashita posted on his website:

We are no longer interested in the three-dimensional world

As of now, his petition site has 172,026 signatures.

This just goes to show how the Japanese have this increasing compulsion to try to escape reality.

About Danalyn: Owner/author of both Sporadic Mind... and SavvyLancer, Danalyn hasn't really contributed much to this site. In fact, one would argue that she's pretty useless around here...but please don't hold it against her because she did design this bitchin' wordpress theme.
