Kanojo, Okarishimasu

Kazuya Kinoshita is a 20-year-old college student who has a wonderful girlfriend: the bright and sunny Mami Nanami. But suddenly, he doesn't. Without warning, Mami breaks up with him, leaving him utterly heartbroken and lonely. Seeking to soothe the pain, he hires a rental girlfriend through an online app. His partner is Chizuru Mizuhara, who through her unparalleled beauty and cute demeanor, manages to gain Kazuya's affection.

But after reading similar experiences other customers had had with Chizuru, Kazuya believes her warm smile and caring personality were all just an act to toy with his heart, and he rates her poorly. Aggravated, Chizuru lambastes him for his shameless hypocrisy, revealing her true pert and hot-tempered self. This one-sided exchange is cut short, however, when Kazuya finds out that his grandmother has collapsed.

They dash toward the hospital and find Kazuya's grandmother already in good condition. Baffled by Chizuru's presence, she asks who this girl might be. On impulse, Kazuya promptly declares that they are lovers, forcing Chizuru to play the part. But with Kazuya still hung up on his previous relationship with Mami, how long can this difficult client and reluctant rental girlfriend keep up their act?

If you can't take cringy things do a 180 and go watch ANYTHING else, if not keep reading.

This is a anime that is more simply a car accident that is wildly burning, you know it is bad, but, you won't stop watching it.
It has some good moments and the protagonist with all his defects still make some sense in some parts of the season.
All girls are very much interesting to say the least, because I've thought that this anime had some superficial people but not so much, everyone has their motivations and reasonings to do what they do, even the scummiest ones.
It is an anime ... that takes an interesting take on love and doing what you need to forget things, move on, interact with new people and the betterment of oneself.

Even though the main character IS kinda of an annoyance at VARIOUS moments of the anime.

Mixed Feelings

A lot of slice of life anime/mangas do drag out their love stories, it seems to be a tale old as time thing. However this one feels stupid long and with a MC who is one of the most unbearable ones with no real redeeming qualities about him. Which makes me lost on why so many girls in the show consider him a catch.

He does good things for people sure but thats not enough I feel like for any girl. Otherwise they'd all end up in the 1 month gf calendar like Mami. Either way I can already tell this anime/manga is dragged out ... to stupid levels, I watched another called Married Couple but Not Lovers; I feel like that one does development and progress a lot better than this does. Heck it even got me to read the manga because I was so invested into it.

I made it to near end of Season 2 and just quit when I learned he doesn't ever fully say anything until chapter 200s like wtf.
In a nutshell it feels like TWD milked anime/manga edition of slice of life with this.

Its not terrible but its not worth continuing for so long either.

Please don't waste your time on a show like this; it's just so bad with so much stalling. There is no anime or show in the world with such a stupid pace. Not gonna lie, the 1st and 3rd seasons are good, the 2nd is okay, and the 4th will be good, but after the 4th, it will go back to square one with nothing happening.

The main character is written so poorly the the dumbest mc ever, and the writers just seem to be focused on being horny.

There is no character development even after 340 chapters in the manga; it is so stupid and a ... waste of time. The writing is about milking a cow and wasting your time.
