presented by Hakoiri Musume captures not only her charming appearance, but also
the essence of a character that has captured hearts since her debut.
Chizuru's popularity is not only reflected in the figure
collecting fever, but also in the fervor of the followers who have closely

left a lasting mark on otaku culture.
The figure stands approximately 230mm tall, offering a
detailed and captivating representation of the character. Priced at 26,400
yen (around $180), fans have the opportunity to purchase it directly through

Ultimately, the duality between Chizuru's popularity and
criticism of the manga's direction underscores the complexity of the
