The Iwate Nippo newspaper reports on Tuesday that the winning entry in a regional "Words to Propose Marriage" contest was actually a quote from Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist manga. The Iwate Town Board of Education in northeastern Japan made the realization after the top winner was chosen, and so it decided to re-judge Really Long Link the contest results on Tuesday.
The contest was held by the Ishigami-no-oka Museum of Art; the museum takes pride in the picturesque hilly locale as a "Lover's Sanctuary" to pledge one's love. The board of education announced the initial contest results on Monday.
However, when the results in the "Words to Propose" category were read on the radio at noon that same day, listeners called to point out the source of the top winning entry.
