You can't make this shit up.

Over the last few years, it’s become a trend for truly obsessive anime fans to start referring to their favorite female character as their wife, or waifu, thanks to the Japanese language’s almost complete lack of terminal consonants. Honestly, the whole phenomena is crazy, because how can you claim someone’s your spouse with no legal paperwork?

Seeking to make the spousal bond between husband and anime wife just a little more legitimate, one company is now offering marriage packs, complete with marriage certificates, for two popular anime lasses.


Curtain Damashi’s bread and butter is curtains decorated with anime characters that you can hang in your home (ostensibly with the characters facing inside, not staring out at your neighbors and making them feel awkward). Two of the company’s newest designs feature Kirino and Ruri, also known as Kuroneko, characters from teen comedy/incest tease Ore no Imoto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, or My Little Sister Can’t be this Cute.

In order to maximize the curtains’ waifu factor, each depicts the characters in a wedding gown.

I'm not going to make fun of people because that's loser-shaming/foreveralone-shaming/virgin-shaming/nerd-shaming.

But man...that is kind of pathetic...and I'm more upset that I didn't think of it. The amount of money this is going to make...sigh. I'm clearly not business minded enough.

What makes you think that they have anyone in their life that would visit their home?

It's one thing to be lonely. It's another try to marry a fictitious character.

Can I have two waifus marry each other? I would so totally have their marriage certificates displayed in my room to prove my OTPs are canon. :lol

I have so many ships I can use this for. :O

I wish this "waifu" thing would stop. I hate hearing people call a character, or a real woman their "waifu."

Wait a second! Dozens of guys marry the same girl? This is blasphemy!
If someone tries to marry my waifu I cut him or her.

I have too much faith in people. I would have used this as a mantrap, forced socialization courses, re-personalization, aversion therapy, the works. anyone who would sign up for this needs help, and they can be helped.

How is this not copyright infringement? Does it fall under parody? Or is this company flat-out collaborating with the content creators to feature their characters?
