This is a polished version of hajimate no gal. all of these characters are terrible to themselves and each other. i'm out.


Naaah, only Mami is a legit shit character in this story so far. (although she didn't pop up in the manga for ages now but I expect her to return anytime and stir shit up like the bitch she is xD)


Ikr how could they do Komachi like but, she quite terrible. this is one of the few anime's where I have actually read the manga, wont spoil anything but Mami is certainly someone to be afraid of she gives no fucks.

on another note, I m glad with the anime going easy on Kazuya. Believe it or not he is much worse in the start of the manga, but probly if they did the anime in that way most people would rage quit from cringe or server rage of how terrible Kazuya is.

This is the first show I want MC to go BAD END right away.
What he is jerking for when he got no balls?
Just let him meet truck-kun.
Or make Director's Cut version with Kuzuya cut (puns intended).

Just pure disappointment in MC. Chizuru stood up to him and he couldn't even follow her and then ends up with the blonde. Bruh...

Mami is a tease and Ichinose remains best girl. Kazuya def needs to move on but seems like the season will revolve around him still liking Mami. Team Ichinose without a doubt. Can't wait to see how much it stays in line with manga.

Also, beach episode on only episode 3 o.o

So i take a drink of my water every time something cringe happens.
This episode was good for 2L :) Stay Hydrated.
I am really enjoying this show tho. Some pretty funny and cringy moments make for a good time. And the awkward scenes BOI they are nice.
---------------------------------------------------
Now about the episode:

Mizuhara: Just say we broke up
Kazuya: I can't, pls 1 more time.
Mizuhara: Sayonara, go F yourself

Kazuya's Gran: Lemme guess you guys broke up
*Kazuya about to confirm*
Mizuhara: I was just busy making some food :)
-----------------------------------------------------
I dont really like Mami-Chan as a character but i do appreciate the fact that she isn't just a generic ex love interest that suddenly rivals the new one. She just wants to play with Kazuya and his feelings to annoy Mizuhara.

Imagine a world where a fully grown 20 y/o would behave like 12-14y/olds around anything intercourse related without any self-esteem, dignity and self control, and imagine ud have 2 watch this without cringing.. oh.. Kanojo Okarishimasu.. oh... what looked initially intriguing and somewhat promising(purely theoretically based on a plot premise and the possible growth) is turning slowly in to a rly hard 2 watch cringefest...
Like, who would defend his ex whos publicly assaulting him with harsh yet private data? Disgusting, the expected reaction would be to just retaliate the ex verbally, leave the so called "party" or "festivity" with Chizuru, and just thank her for stepping in, like, from such point onwards, it could go to either romantic route where she starts warming up to him, or the romcom route where she tells him to figure out the break up asap. But this "timely reconciliation with ex" for "the night" which is 99% her devious trap to even further worsen his life... Only complete degenerate reconciles with his ex under such circumstances. Is this yet another title with a brain of fly male mc? smh, it starts to look like it... and i had uplifted hopes for a 2nd episode as a good guide for a healthy plot... I wonder what will b the % of droppings for this title by the end of it airing.

I really like this anime so far. I thought this anime would be trash at first. Yeah it seems very predictable but it's fun to watch and both Kazu and Chizu are lovely mains. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be every single girl on the block falling for the MC (and doing fanservice) kind of story.

Also for Mami: Begone!

Oh, well, that Kazuya behaviour really annoyed me, how related their life as me! But, goddamned, his love life drama gone beyond its limiter with so much lucky encounters he met. The falsehood relations with Chizuru continued and, yeah, its got worsening by meeting with sadistic jealousy girl habit, Mami-chan. Her playful action toward Kazuya really irritating. But, like every boy met girls, his lust couldn't be hold long enough. Oh, man, the relatable aspect these show had to real life make these dumpster full of clicheness plotting looks too promising than i've ever imagined. How long Kazuya kept his lies?

I haven't cringed while watching an anime in a while, not too fond of the feeling lol.

Wow, Mami has a pretty sucky personality so far, talking like that about someone else while they are there is a real dick thing to do. I wonder if she gets any better? Or at the very least, becomes a bit more likable.

And Kazuya's not really doing any better, buddy should have really should've sided with Mizuhara when she was standing up for him. I'm hoping that he either becomes more likable or more tolerable as the series continues.

Mizuhara on the other hand is probably the best character so far imo. I hope that Kazuya comes to appreciate her more and what she's doing for him.

Also, both Kazuya and Mizuhara were both so close from getting out of their situation with his grandma. So so close.

All and all, wasn't 'that' bad of an episode, and I'm interested in how this next beach episode will turn out.

Kazu keeps making mistake after mistake, digging himself into a deeper hole. He's lucky Mizuhara is such an angel.

Man this Mami chick is a total bitch. She clearly wants Mizuhara to take a hike, either from jealousy or just wanting to ruin Kazu's life even more. Can't believe he didn't leave with Mizuhara, especially after she stuck up for him. And then he walks Mami home with his arm around her? Really dude? Don't fall for this chick's tricks.

I'm still really enjoying this show though. I like the premise and I'm hoping Kazu wises up.

The premise had me interested in this anime. But after watching the first two episodes, the protag is way too much of a turn off factor in this anime for me. And that's a shame as well. Because the people behind this project have really worked hard and the animation is top tier considering the fact that its a romance harem series. But the protag is such a pussy that it gets annoying. This episode killed the anime for me. Sorry.

2 episodes in and I'm finding it hard to sit through this. The animation is great, the OP is decent, the girls look GREAT. But why is the MC such a pitiful beta male? I don't even feel bad for him, watching this I just wish someone would choke him out. Chizuru did her best to defend him, even though she didn't have to, when his ex was openly shit talking him to his face, and he then brushes it off and sides with his ex. Disgusting. I'm going to give it one more week and if I'm still experiencing these levels of cringe rather than enjoying it, this is def getting dropped.

Good episode.

Dislike Mami already, too conniving and disrespectful for my tastes.
Chizuru is best girl hands down so far, love her, adorable reactions and the fact that she decides to help Kazuya with all the crap he drags her into and she even stood up for him.

Kazuya does come off as wimp for now, I dislike the fact that he couldn't even support Chizuru who stood up for him. In fact, it should've hit him harder since Chizuru was standing up for him despite being his 'rental' girlfriend.
It's not necessarily a bad thing for a character to be portrayed like this and then develop later. If this were Shounen I'd be all up for waiting for that glorious character growth moment but given the genre of this show, I'm skeptical on how long it'll take for him to change or if it'll even happen any time soon.

I'll stick around though, I do find the show funny and some of the jokes and reactions are hilarious.

Kazuya is a simp and will do anything for his ex-girlfriend. That's the show. But, ironically, it's Chizuru's fault for why she's stuck with Kazuya. Kazuya was about to tell the truth, and his grandmother was understanding, but Chizuru came in.

I see the potential route this show will take. 1/2 of every episode focused on sex scenes and Kazuya being overly horny because the plot demands it. It's worse than a gary stu isekai protagonist because they know when to shut their mouths and keep it to themselves. The tissue scenes and chin-chin references in the show don't help the rating go up, only to waste time for a shallow story.

I'll stay watching though because I'm single and crave more self-masochism of my feelings. :P

Edit:

Lemme say this: KAZUYA YOU SON OF A....... you ignored Chizuru, standing up to you, for your sleazy, thotty ex. Mami is no good, but for Kazuya, who enjoys girls for sex only, they make a good match. Chizuru, find someone else in your own class.

Nah, Yesterday wo Utatte fools you into believing the show has plot, when it does not. All throughout the show you're fooled. This show tells you from the start, so there's hope for the show's plot to get better. Don't drop this.

I would say, just give him more time.
I think the manga does a better job at making him worried about their relationship. Making him regret some decisions, making him thinking that he is pushing his luck and can't continue like that, etc. It definitely has an heavier atmosphere.
He will eventually become better and less irritating, but his base character won't change that much.

I haven't been so annoyed at a main character in such a long time.

I dont know what the culture is in Japan but if someone blocks a person you wouldnt just go up and talk to the person like nothing happened? That is the stupidest thing i ever seen.

The idea of a rental girlfriend anime is so interesting, i was so excited to watch this. But now im just filled with annoyance.

The flow of the anime and structures of the relationships in the show was shaky at best. The motivations of Chizuru to continue pretending to lie for Kazuya are weak. Top it all off with one of the most uselessly annoying main characters just completely throws me off.

But whatever, they have built up the characters and we have a better understanding of how they will act in further episodes. I believe at this point the show can only get better, unless if they full on disregard the character development for the show.

despite how furstrating this is to watch i still find it fun and it helps that the girls are super cute but holy crap is this MC some serious loser scum he has all the setups to lead to a school days ending for real,not to mention how Chizuru still manages to put up with all his shit even after the breach of contract but ya know since it's a harem there has to be some reason no mater how weak is it is for her stick around because they should've been done long ago.
i'd be shocked if he comes out growing as a better person at the end of this lol

and his Crazy Ex has shown up being a total Bitch hopefully she has some redeeming quality because i ant sure what her angle is here right now

still got 2 other girls to show up

I like Mizuhara with her glasses and pigtails, I'm a sucker for megane or glass girl characters. I think she's prettier with the glasses and more charming.

His friends are such virgin incels. Just because a person is hot doesn't mean they're good at sex. You'd be surprised by how bad at sex some hot people are. Good looks/appearance does not equal great sex. However that bit where they thought she was trying to ring him in a cult was pretty funny. That happens a lot in both Japan and South Korea, they will get their most beautiful members to get you to join. They will come to your house and bang at your door and they are fucking scary. This has happened to my family, friends and including myself.

I know this anime is all about romantic comedy hijinks and it's mean to be ridiculous but Jesus Christ, Kazuya has no fucking backbone. Just tell your grandma that you broke up and go out and date again, find someone else. Anyway, he couldn't stand up to his grandma, his friends or his ex-girlfriend who is manipulating him long after they've broken up. Wtf is happening? How can someone be this spineless? I'm beginning to think he's either a victim of narcissistic people or he's just a plain idiot. Mizuhara was defending him but he couldn't event stand up for himself.

Coming from a rocky (and unlikable) start last week, this episode is good and fun enough to make me want to watch this all the way through the end.

First of all, the OP's great. I like how it transitioned from the intro scene, and its catchy as all hell!
One of the best opening themes this season.

Anyways from what I got this episode...I think my manhwa days are catching up to me, that's just sweet. Kazuya needs to man up like seriously, I barely made it out last episode because of his character, but I'm sure he's gonna grow (right?). Mami uhm....will be THAT girl, yep certainly one of my memories from reading manhwa. Chizuru for sure's gonna be one of my favorites, and to stand up for our boy against that obvious insult definitely gives her some likeable points.

This show is getting great so far, I am liking what I'm seeing here. With this quality, I'm gonna keep myself from reading the manga until the show ends. I'm enjoying it so far, let's see what happens next week. And for that my first forum post...

When Kazuya said "Your gonna be homeless for a while" to his pp, that was funny.

Anyway, it's still a really enjoyable show even though Kazuya is a piece of shit but, that makes room for his character development. Plus the other characters are great especially Chizuru. Though I can't really tell what the hell Mami is doing, I guess we will find out soon.

Great funny episode.
