@EiríkrÚtlendi Unless I'm missing something, this maru maru (〇〇) is not intended to be the maru maru (丸々), so the dictionary entry you link to doesn't give an answer...?

@Earthliŋ, ha! I honestly thought they were looking for the word まるまる. It never occurred to me that they might have just meant 〇〇 as the name of the placeholder. Cheers!

まる is a name of this circle symbol, and ○○ is read out loud as まるまる, なになに, etc. It is used to make a placeholder or to mask a part of a sentence/word. English equivalent is **, __, "blank", "blah" or "bleep". In this case, I think the author used it just to make the title look more interesting.

○ or × are often used as replacement characters for something that should be somewhat obvious to the reader but is not actually spelled out for some reason. One common example is using real life names of people or brands in fiction, e.g. マクドナルド→ マクド○ルド. The reasons could include trying to avoid notice of the person/company in question for possibly infringing use of their name or others.
However, in your example it seems to me rather a filler for a word (which are often two characters in Japanese), so possibly you are supposed to fill it in using your imagination.
