Annri Sakaguchi, a figure often described as a controversial second-generation celebrity in Japan, has seen her latest public romance quickly unravel. She recently announced a relationship with streamer "Paruparu," but the public display of affection lasted a mere four days before significant strain emerged.

The couple had been open about their relationship, with Sakaguchi announcing on social media, "Paru-chan and I are dating, he's 170kg." They even shared intimate moments on camera, including a kiss. However, the public romance quickly hit a snag, with Paruparu expressing dissatisfaction with the dynamic.

I'm going to break down like this.

Paruparu, 31, who weighs 170 kilograms, voiced his feelings during a livestream, stating he felt more like Sakaguchi's caregiver than her boyfriend. He cited a lack of personal time and a desire to pursue his own interests, such as watching anime, as reasons for his distress. He admitted, "I'm going to break down like this."

The situation escalated when Paruparu suggested a "two-day cooling-off period" and a temporary separation. Online reactions have been largely skeptical, with many predicting a swift end to the relationship and some suggesting the pairing was a publicity stunt for online traffic.

Let's cool down for two days, let's not see each other for these two days.
