The world is getting weirder each day... -_-"

I know all of us have a favourite cartoon character, but how would you like to marry one? Taichi Takashita, a man from Japan, fell in love with a famous Japanese cartoon character Mikuru Asahina and wants to marry her.

The problem is that he is prohibited from doing so by law. So, Takashita is asking people to sign an online petition to change the law to allow marriages between humans and cartoon characters. Takashita is aiming for 1 million signatures to present to the government. So far, 1000 people have signed.

By the way, Japan does not even allow same-sex marriages, so in the case that the required number of signatures is actually collected, the single sex marriage legislature might still face a few precedent obstacles in the Japanese parlament.

When asked why marry a cartoon character, Takashita says he is more interested in two-dimension world than reality. Disenchantment with reality and obsession with virtual world seems to be a growing trend in Japan.
