Illustrator and manga artist NAGANO's creation, "Chiikawa," burst onto the scene in 2020 and quickly swept the nation. After its TV anime adaptation, its unique charm captivated audiences, making it everyone's favorite adorable phenomenon.
Now, "Chiikawa" has teamed up with Japan's self-service ID photo booth chain, "Ki-Re-i," for a special collaboration! Fans can snap a "Chiikawa"-themed ID photo and receive the much-coveted "Weeding Certification." This announcement immediately unleashed a frenzy of excitement online!
This collaboration features three main characters: Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi, plus a group shot with all three alongside Momonga. You can pose with your favorite characters and, in addition to your ID photo, you'll receive an exclusive "Weeding Certification" design.
Here's a hilarious detail: the certification level on your card changes depending on the character you choose, making fans clamor to collect all the different versions! (Though, let's be real, Chiikawa hasn't actually passed the weeding certification yet, LOL.)
▼ Chiikawa version: Weeding Level 5 Certification
▼ Hachiware version: Weeding Level 5 Certification
▼ Usagi version: Weeding Level 3 Certification
▼ Group version (Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and Momonga): Weeding Level 5 Certification
Here's what it looks like in action – you'll get your very own "Weeding Certification."
Beyond the ID photo booths, there's also a dedicated sticker photo booth to fill your pictures with these adorable characters. Both events are running for a limited time from February 4th to March 31st. If you're traveling to Japan, you definitely need to get your hands on these!
