While I’m not really fond of having any 2D girls becoming my wife, I wouldn’t really mind if my wife actually looked like the gorgeous ちゃまろさん who cosplayed Mari Illustrious:

Same here! I would prefer someone who looks like Chamaro-san to be my waifu instead~
Wait! Why am I settling for a look-alike if I can have the original? LOL XD
