The New York Times: Love in 2-D
“Nisan is part of a thriving subculture of men and women in Japan who indulge in real relationships with imaginary characters.These 2-D lovers, as they are called… have real romantic feelings for their toys. The less extreme might have a hidden collection of figurines based on anime characters that they go on “dates” with during off hours. A more serious 2-D lover, like Nisan, actually believes that a lumpy pillow with a drawing of a prepubescent anime character on it is his girlfriend.”
