Tech research company Gatebox Lab is interested in hiring recruits who have deep feelings for 2D characters. The company will even pay a stipend to those who have married one.

According to Nico Nico News, Gatebox Lab will pay 5,000 yen ($45) in support compensation to employees living conjugal lives with the characters they love.

The company has marriage registration forms on its website, and while the Japanese government will not recognize them, Gatebox Lab will!

Here is an example of Gatebox Labs marriage form, which asks the couple to recount how they met, recall memories theyve made, and tell when and where the marriage proposal happened. (Of course, same-sex marriages are a-okay.)

Thats not all. Employees can even get a day off for their 2D spouses birthday!

Nico Nico News adds that Gatebox Lab will also recognize marriages with 3D characters, non-human characters like elves or beasts, and science-fiction type characters.

For this program, the company will not recognize marriages with real people living in the three-dimensional world. Also, prospective applicants are not allowed to submit applications for multiple 2D wives or husbands. Sorry!

This looks like a tongue-in-cheek way for the company to drum up some free publicity, arouse the interest of potential hires, and give new employees a tiny bit more pay with an added day-off each year.

The 8 guys get locked in a room together and whoever survives gets the chick.

America voted for Trump, it needs more than just a time-out.

There's also the fact you get a free day off. The whole marrying a 2d character also has no legality behind it. So you could marry one for extra money and a day off and still be able to legally marry another person.
