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.

    I heard about this one myself. Odd indeed. I can only imagine the uproar from the Fanatical Anime Hordes over who has the right to marry what Manga character or worse..whom the Manga character loves more…

    I don't even want to get into the mechanics of how in the world he would do it if he could…
