Korean otaku marries pillow

10:39 AM on 03.12.2010 // Aquagaze

This is a true thing that actually happened.
I translated this from yesterday's (Belgian) newspaper:

"A Korean has married a pillow. And not just a pillow: a dakimakura, a Japanese "hugging pillow" which is rather popluar with teenagers(!). To make things even stranger: the pillow is illustrated with his favorite anime character Fate Testarossa from a show called Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.
Appearantly, the 28-year old Lee Jin-gyu is obsessed with the pillow, and even dressed it in a wedding dress for the short ceremony, which took place in Tokyo.
"He takes it everywhere," a friend tells, "They go to the park together, or to the carnival, where he takes it on all the attractions" The pillow even gets to go to restaurants with him, where it gets its own meal."

What. The. Hell.

Well, I guess the Japanese don't have a monopoly on this kind of behavior, at least...

What.

......

WHAT.

I'm reminded of those old cereal commercials (I don't remember for which) in which a boy expressed his love for it to the point where his sister suggested "So why don't you marry it?"

Ser Knighted Himself

So who pays the dowry? The manufacturer of the pillow or the creator of the character.

Pretty sure he's not married by law, which makes this little article a sensationalist piece of non-news. IIRC the one guy who married Nene from Love Plus couldn't get married in Japan so he moved somewhere else, and even if the Japanese authorities had allowed that marriage, I imagine a foreigner looking to marry a piece of cloth would not be allowed to enter the country.
