A man named Taichi Takashita has started a campaign to force the Japanese government to legally recognize wedded unions between humans and comic book characters. More than 1,000 people have signed their names to this petition over the past week, and though the whole thing may have started as a joke, it’s clear that not everybody is treating it as such.
