Japanese man petitions to marry comic-book character Anonymous Fri Oct 31 01:36:30 2008 No.1535749 [Reply] [Original]

>A Japanese man has enlisted hundreds of people in a campaign to allow marriages between humans and cartoon characters, saying he feels more at ease in the "two-dimensional world."

>Comic books are immensely popular in Japan, with some fictional characters becoming celebrities or even sex symbols. Marriage is meanwhile on the decline as many young Japanese find it difficult to find life partners.

>Taichi Takashita launched an online petition aiming for one million signatures to present to the government to establish a law on marriages with cartoon characters.

>Within a week he has gathered more than 1000 signatures through the Internet.

>"I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world," he wrote.
