Chizuru Date Cost Sparks Debate Among Fans

The amount of money Kazuya used to buy time with Chizuru has gone viral again in Japan. The figure caught attention for being higher than many expected and sparked a major discussion on social media.

Chizuru Date Cost Sparks Debate Among Fans

In the anime Kanojo Okarishimasu, the “rental girlfriend” service is presented in great detail, showing that each date comes with separate charges. Although this became a topic of discussion some time ago, it resurfaced again at the end of May. The total cost of one outing comes close to 30,000 yen, which surprised many viewers (US$6.60 approximately converted from R$946 reference omitted? Actually keep original value? Let’s keep as provided). (R$ 946).

Among the expenses shown are the hourly fee, girl selection fee, transportation costs, and even refreshments such as afternoon tea. Adding everything together, the final amount reaches approximately 22,960 yen, leading to debates about how “realistic” or “exaggerated” this would be within the context of the series.

On social media, many fans reacted with both humor and criticism. Some felt that Chizuru’s price was too high for a date without any real romantic involvement, while others argued that the service makes sense within the anime’s premise. There were also comparisons with other paid services in Japan, which generated even more discussion.

And there’s more: this was what Kazuya paid for just one date, but he has already spent a lot more on Chizuru through many other dates!

Let’s take a look at some reactions:

• “It would’ve been better to get a real girlfriend. It’s more cost-effective.”
• “Is it really worth spending 30,000 yen on this? 😇”
• “With that money, I could go to Yoshiwara twice. Let’s stop these dates that are just for keeping up appearances lol.”

• “You’re seriously underestimating the price of Afternoon Tea. If it doesn’t cost at least 9,000 yen, I don’t even consider it real Afternoon Tea.”
• “You guys don’t get it.”
• “Kazuya doesn’t even need to go to adult places because Ruka, that busty high school girl, is constantly hitting on him. All he’d have to do is call her on LINE and confess, and he’d immediately be winning with a super attractive busty high school girl.”
• “Actually, the Afternoon Tea price is pretty cheap.”
• “The protagonist makes me sick just because he thinks he can control women with money. He’s a guy raised in a wealthy family with no understanding of the real world, buying the time of young women with cash. From a woman’s perspective, that’s garbage.”
• “More expensive than some cheap adult establishments lol. Now that’s exploitation.”
• “I’ve spent 90,000 yen a month on my favorite idol. And it was at a maid café, on top of that.”
• “With 30,000 yen you could do all sorts of things. But this guy spends it all pretending to be on a date and that’s it. It’s unbelievably sad…”
• “The more accurate comparison wouldn’t be adult services, but hostess clubs.”
• “But if you think about it, if half the basic fee goes to the company, then out of the 12,000 yen for two hours, only 6,000 yen goes to the shop. The rest goes to the woman. That doesn’t seem so bad. You’d spend a decent amount on a normal date anyway. If someone who isn’t successful in romance gets to enjoy the experience of a date, maybe it’s actually worth the money.”
• “I think a luxurious day trip with that money would be far more enjoyable than spending two hours with someone pretending to be your girlfriend.”
• “More than anything, if his parents saw how much he’s spending on this, they’d cry.”
• “Well, if the goal was purely physical satisfaction, it would definitely be better to go to a specialized establishment.”
