    I have no idea if this is real or what.

    Just saw it over the internet ...




    A Korean man named Lee Jin-gyu fell in love with a life-sized Japanese body pillow called a "dakimakura". The pillow has the image of a cartoon character named Fate Testarossa on it, from an anime called Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

    The 28-year-old man takes his pillow with him everywhere and eventually got married to it. Read more about Lee in this story.

    This is actually part of a broader cultural phenomenon. There is a growing subculture of men in Japan who engage in romantic relationships with pillows that have cartoons on them. People who have difficulty with romantic relationships with real (3-dimensional) people instead find themselves attracted to 2-dimensional anime characters. You can learn more about this phenomenon in this New York Times piece.
