Have you ever wanted to hang out next to a life-size Chizuru from Rent-a-Girlfriend? If so, you’ll sort of get your chance with a massive new acrylic image of the character, who is up for grabs for anyone lucky enough to win the grand prize of a new campaign that includes a bunch of Rent-a-Girlfriend merch.
The oversized acrylic board measures out at 140cm, and can be placed in one’s bed or propped up on a massive desk or table for that classic side-sleeping stare. The only way would-be winners can score the life-size Chizuru acrylic involves purchasing 10 entries to the campaign’s general lottery, priced at ¥880 (about US$8) a pop. There are no discounts for buying in bulk, so the chance comes at a pricey ¥8,800 (US$80).
On the bright side, the grand prize of the life-size Chizuru doll is a double chance prize on top of the other prizes, so there’s a chance one could win two grand prizes for their trouble (and expense). In addition to the two Chizuru stands up for grabs, other prizes include everything from towels to smaller acrylic stands, stickers, and smartphone keychains.
Crunchyroll streams the Rent-a-Girlfriend anime and sums it up:
Kinoshita Kazuya is a 20-year-old failure of a college student. He managed to kiss his girlfriend once, but was dumped after a month. “Ugh… Damn it. I never want to go through that again.”
Completely spiteful, Kazuya uses a certain method to date a girl. He goes to their meeting place and suddenly hears, “You’re Kazuya-kun, right?” A beautiful girl brushing her long, black hair behind her ear was there, smiling at him. Her name was Mizuhara Chizuru. Something real is born after just a single rental! A reckless rom-com filled with love and excitement is about to begin!
