Manaka Takane heads to Atami for romantic vacation with virtual dating game fan
We came across this story of a “super fan” and his love for schoolgirl Manaka Takane.
Of course, Manaka Takane is a character from the Love Plus virtual dating game by Konami.
And she and a special fan went on a trip for the summer.
They chose as their date destination Atami, the hot spring resort in Shizuoka that is one of the location of Love Plus — and already a well-known spot for otaku to go in search of 2D girls come to life.
Twitter user Menokomakiri took Manaka with him to Atami — or least a full-body suit of the 2D character.
「ねぇ、こっちこっちー!」
「暑い、、、マナちゃんは元気だなあ。。」

ホテル大野屋にて。
「あれっ?おいしい…」
「はい、あーん♪」

Things end with a cute pillow fight before the happy couple retire for the night.
Well, this isn’t a case of a virtual character come to life in some Frankenstein-esque experiment. Either Menokomakiri or a very cosplay-willing friend dressed up as Manaka and posed for a series of sweet — or is it creepy? — shots of their romantic getaway.
