Welcome to the Solaris Blog! ヾ( ʚ̴̶̷ .̫ ʚ̴̶̷ )ﾉ”
What do you get when you cross a death game survivor with a bunny suit? A dangerously irresistible figure that’s equal parts elegance and edge.

If you’ve never heard of Shibou Yuugi de Meshi wo Kuu (Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table), you’re in for a wild ride. This darkly stylish light novel series blends survival game tension with a surprisingly grounded emotional core. The premise? In a dystopian world where only the beautiful are recruited into deadly televised competitions, seventeen-year-old Yuuki Sorimachi fights not for glory, but for groceries. Literally. The prize for surviving each round is enough money to eat. And for Yuuki, that’s reason enough to keep playing.

Yuuki isn’t your typical death game protagonist. She’s not driven by revenge or rebellion. Instead, she’s a quiet, calculating player with a ghost-like presence. At first, she enters the games with little purpose, drifting through the carnage with eerie detachment. But everything changes after she finds a reason to live: to win 99 consecutive games. Not for fame. Not for freedom. But because it gives her life structure, meaning, and a strange kind of peace.

What makes Yuuki compelling is her paradoxical nature. She’s ruthless in the arena, yet altruistic when it counts. She’ll risk herself to save others, even as she calculates the odds of survival with chilling precision. Her dual-colored eyes, blue and silver, symbolize this duality: the girl who kills to live, and the girl who lives to protect. She’s not a hero. She’s not a villain.

The series itself is a genre-bending mix of action, psychological drama and social commentary. If it sounds interesting to you, it has just recently started airing as part of the winter 2026 anime season. The art, especially in the light novels, leans into sleek, high-contrast aesthetics, perfectly suited to the figure we’re about to discuss.

Using a light novel art inspired visual, Kadokawa gives us this 1/7 scale gem. The figure was based on an illustration for a promotional event, and it was just too good.

It is a great blending of Yuuki’s stoic persona with a bishoujo design. It may be a cute bunny suit but there is still a reminder that Yuuki is dangerous. After all, dinner isn't free. The bunny suit goes beyond the typical leotard and ears. The added fabric at her hip give a unique visual and the spider web design shows that you have already been caught in her trap.

The subdued, glossy lower half of the leotard gives good contrast to the more textured, frilled upper half. The mix of midnight black with subtle violet/silver tones, hugging her slender frame give a mix of elegance and allure. Her signature heterochromatic eyes are rendered with exquisite detail, capturing both her icy resolve and hidden vulnerability.

The pose is reserved yet confident. Leaning forward with blades in hand evoke her composed demeanor even in the most chaotic situations.

The base is minimalist, yet genius. Given a chessboard pattern, it highlights the death game theme. In many ways, Yuuki may be rising to replace NGNL’s Shiro as queen of games.

Yuuki is currently available for pre-order and you can save 15% with an early bird discount!
