Love knows no limit? Japanese man dates cockroach for a year, claims ‘it’ is his first love

This Japanese 25-year finds his ‘love-bug’ in literally a bug, cockroach to be precise. Call it love or ‘downright-creepy’, a Japanese man has confessed to "dating" a cockroach for almost a year also obsessing about having physical intimacy with it, Lisa. Yuma Shinohara (25) also claims that the bug was hotter than any other human girl in the world, called it the love of his life. In an interview to a Japanese media. Yuma Shinohara (25) called the bug his "first love" and says he was able to communicate with his beloved Lisa, as he lovingly named her.

According to Metro, Yuma explained to Asian YouTube channel Asian Boss he’d bought Lisa from Africa.

Although the relationship with Lisa was of course, platonic, Yuma admitted to often fantasising about bedding Lisa as he shrunk himself to an insect-size.

Lisa is however, reported to have died after a year after he brought her from Africa.

"The day she passed away was difficult, but I knew it had to come since she was a cockroach with a short lifespan.”

And, as the entomophagist Yuma is, he decided to eat the what he called ‘the love of his life’.

"I did it with reverence’’, Yuma adds.

"So now Lisa lives in my heart and continues living as part of my body."

Yuma said that no human girl was as “hot” as Lisa and that they were "100% serious" about each other.
