Amazing! But this is already realer than the satire suggests. Amazing article on rental friends in Japan: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2017/11/paying-fo... And the curiously gender-specific invisible girlfriend: https://invisiblegirlfriend.com/

That article on rental friends makes me so mad. I'd rather know that my dad wasn't around than be completely lied to like that. Jeez.

Once again, Japan delivers on soul-crushing social dynamics.

Sometimes I fear that Japan is merely a reflection of what lies ahead for a whole lot of humanity once the global population/ urbanization density becomes high enough.

There's apparently an Invisible Boyfriend site, too. It's linked at the bottom. I have to suspect it gets less traffic, though.
