A 13-year-old girl in Japan has achieved her dream of snagging a date with Godzilla.
Seira Watanabe, who lives in Hyogo Prefecture, has long been a fan of the fictional monster, collecting action figures and mastering its roar.

“My love is so great that I would like to marry Godzilla,” Watanabe said.

Watanabe gave the monster a hug and a smooch before asking for its hand in marriage. Unfortunately, Godzilla declined her proposal.

Another praised Watanabe, “Now THAT’S what I call a fangirl.”
“I want to see this Godzilla-loving girl at the year-end special again! She’s the best,” another requested.
