A love story of a Japanese man with a cockroach has gone viral. Yes you heard it right. A Japanese man has confessed to “dating” a cockroach for almost a year and says he had a very serious romantic relationship.
25-year-old man named Yuta Shinohara claimed he dated Lisa, a cockroach from Africa for a year. Yuta explained to Asian YouTube channel Asian Boss, how he bought the cockroach – lovingly named Lisa – from Africa and even had sex dreams about her. Yuta, who is an entomophagist (someone who eats insects for food) claims that he was 100 per cent serious with her.
Although the relationship was platonic, Yuma admitted to often fantasising about bedding Lisa – either with himself insect-sized or with her human-sized. But the relationship is not the only thing which shocked people. Sadly Lisa died after a year, which left Yuma a little devasted. After which, Yuta, decided to eat her in order to make Lisa a part of his body forever, so that she lives on in his heart. Yuta is known for organizing several insects eating food trials around Japan. He himself practices eating insects as a regular diet as an alternative to meat for environmental reasons.
