LOL, more like a very below average girl dumb him and completely tramatised his entire life and train of though. In being dumbed by this very below average girl, he is seaking consult from something that isn't really there to comfert him by. Making this excuse, he seek for everyone to be able to be able to marry this Mikuru Asahina, instead of the feeling of being rejected by another very below average girl.

Beside of making fun of him, i think the marrage won't last that long. Because it is no more than an excuse to be able the feeling of someone is there for you no matter what happens. Like an inmaginary friend, child create them in order to excape of not having someone to be able to understand. I believe that when tough time comes to him (money/debt/childern), he will come to his scence that there is really no one there to come for his confert.

Otaku culture is not considered normal in Japan, people. But it's not surprising that many Japanese want to escape, considering the cultural reality they have created for themselves. The extremes of self-sacrifice & overwork that they put themselves through (starting at Junior High and then continuing for the rest of their lives) are causing their society to unravel, in my opinion.

I'd like to follow up more on this article, Certainly in Japan people is more open minded, due not taking influences from the outside world in the past, It's why they aren't afraid to come up with these interesting stuff.

If they want to push to the limit their fantasies making it somehow a goal - That's fine.

The way I see it, it's nothing bad at all if someone wants to 'love' an entity that only exists in the realm of pen and paper. I for one have gone through that stage before when I was young. BUT. People should not try and confuse this with reality simply because it deals with two ideas that have more differences than similarities: the fallacy of false analogy as it is philosophically called. Loving something that is merely a digitalized sketch and therefore cannot provide any love in return is nothing but mere fanboyism, the way I see it. So sure, go ahead and love anime characters. I admit I do it to. But legalize marriage? Uh, sorry that's quite unethical and unorthodox.

He should just get someone to cosplay as that character and marry her. (But then it's impossible for them to marry)

makes perfect sense, now we have gay marriage, here's a manga marriage, next, perhaps somebody want to marry an animal. just let people do what they want.... isn't that what free societies are about...
