What a loser!!! How does he make love to his new wife? Does he wrap his game console around his manhood? And what is he going to do when and if the game crashes, gets stolen, or accidentally washes it with his laundry, losing her forever?
god doesn’t exist fag
@MalcolmElisha

Dress in all black and mourn, perhaps?
if i could marry a cartoon i would marry either link out of zelda, izzy sparks out of guitar hero or ace out of one piece. i see this dudes point of view.
lets all hack her
muahaha…
i wonder how the night of marriage was… poor nintendo ds..
cant seem to find a guy who isnt a coward
@Otakucrema
I AGREE with you 100%.comon,i bet he isnt that dumb to marry someone in the VIRTUAL world.poor guy…..
Oh the possibilities! Totally ganna get married to a manga character. Toujou your strawberries have taunted me for long enough! To the chapel!
Guess He will try to make kids too ^^
And he shares her with all of us..
Someone tell him, that his “wife” is just some… code. This guy is abnormal. Or he prefers masturbation, than a real fleshy woman. Or he is just gay.
It was an advertisement for the game actually.
well done boy! Make some kids!
0:23 desu
WTF
Or just create another virtual wife.
marrying a virtual girl?!
that’s just too much…
something’s wrong with this man!
I wonder how the artist whom created her feels haha
@InF3XioN
well, he did marry a woman, in a way, so I don’t think he’s gay.
I don’t mean to be the “jerk” here, but I do hope he realizes that a lot of people play that game and “date” Nene Anegasaki. That means she would be cheating on him with who knows how many other guys. I think it’s ok to say that you like a character from a video game, anime, or manga, but to go as far as to marrying them… that’s taking stuff to the extreme!
its in times like these i fear for humanity and what we have become
This is nothing. I saw a program about people having relationships with weird things and one woman had married a wooden fence.
A WOODEN FENCE!
At least this guy can play Ouendan as a last resort to spice things up when the boredom inevitably sets in…
