A Korean otaku has married his Fate Testarossa dakimakura, with Korean media dutifully covering both his dating activities with the anime-inspired pillow, and the ceremony where the couple became man and pillowcase.
Fate Testarossa is of course already well known as the character perpetually vying with Nanoha for the position of most popular magical girl in Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

I refuse to give my fate-chan to this guy…
wait until the androids get released…
Well..Jus let him hav his fun.
I feel bad for the pillow. Not only because it’s Fate, but to a guy like that. God, I wish I could bash this loser right in the face. Everybody knows Fate belongs to Nanoha.
