Well I know I'll post this because today is Monday before Halloween Day but since other part of the world are already celebrating Halloween ahead of the US/North America (depend on the countries if it observed in there). I'll say it: Happy Halloween everybody!!!

Rent-a-Girlfriend one feels kind of low-effort.

“Halloween 2023: Double America Search”

Uh, this should be Double Candy Research. We're not searching for America in the game.
It's actually "ダブルアメリサーチ" which means Double Ame(candy) Research. No America's involved.

There should be a joke about everything regarding RaG being low-effort. Rolling Eyes

On the other hand, what's with male seiyuu doing female Halloween cosplay?

I saw that Yowayowa Sensei artwork then started reading the manga immediately. All I have to say is "Lawd! I love the sensei.". It's the best visual.

I really enjoyed looking at the Halloween drawings. They were so cute! Smile I also had a look at mdo7's thing on celebrations of Halloween outside of the US. I saw that Canada,Ireland and Scotland were pretty similar to what we do here in America. I'm also glad to see that Halloween's catching on in places like Japan and Australia. What shocked me was that there was an informal Halloween celebration in Castlemaine,a town in Victoria in Australia in 1858. It had been brought there by Scottish miners who came there during the gold rush.
Now,I did a post once on Halloween in Australia in the Community section if anyone wants to read it. It's very interesting. Since both Australia and America had similar groups like the Irish and Scottish settling there,it amazed me that the US took to Halloween while Australia took years to accept it. Again,it's a harmless,fun holiday,so please enjoy it. We do here in America,so why should other places have something just as fun?
