I wonder how long this relationship will continue. Vacation to the beach seems interesting, finally able to see a swimsuit. Kazuya and Chizuru are together in the toilet, hhmmm ... What the hell is that last scene, kiss? How about the ED?

Beach episode...well, that came early.

The 1st half just goes to show that beneath that sweet facade, Kazuya just can't shake his manipulative ex-girlfriend Mami off, even if she has good body proportions. He's just becoming more of a wimp on top of his useless personality.

So it becomes this way: rental girlfriend vs. ex-girlfriend, Round 2. Kazuya's temptations vs. Chizuru's interference. Of course, Kazuya's clique knows who Chizuru looks like, but her attempts to deride them works as usual.

Of course, Chizuru is back to receiving Kazuya's less-esteemed antics, and his friends are envious that he has gotten two steps ahead of them. But yeah, can't deny that Chizuru looks dashing even with her swimsuit get-up.

As if Mami's "attack" on Kazuya isn't over, to solidify the controversy even further, a behind-the-scenes raunchy kiss from the sinister girl to the unnoticeable Kazuya.

This drama is just getting leaps and leaps troublesome....and we're only just at the beginning of this rough journey.

Obligatory beach episode because why not...

Kazuya had his eyes on Mami's ass. He's got those thirsty thoughts like the fool he is. Btw, Mami's swimsuit is pretty much the same as they advertised from one of the key visuals. Hilarious really.

Woahh, the scene on the beach is really great!

Chizuru looks very kawaii with her bikini, haha, Mami is a little jealous when she sees Chizuru's chest,

Mami kissed Kazuya ?! I have no idea what I want to say anymore!

One more episode of Kanojo Okarishimasu and now is time to a beach episode!..

I have to say it: Kazuya is making a big mistake with Mami, and this situation makes Chizuru feel ...jealous, angry or just wanna to save him? Really interesting episode and good ChizuruxKazuya moment

Just waiting to see how will this rent-grilfriend vs ex-girlfriend situation end!!

Really good series so far!!

Beach episode so soon but hey both Mami and Chizuru looks hot so this was appreciated.

Kazuya's just lmao don't even know what to call him tbh. Come one man get a grip, don't lust over a girl that ditched you and made a fool out of you.

Idk why, but I kinda stan mami. Idk why I’m attracted to toxic women. She’s definitely not the best for Kazu, but I understand how he feels and why he keeps chasing her. We’ve all simped before.

I actually may be one or the few people who really like the story/characters. I just take it one chapter/ep at a time and don’t really ship anyone, much easier to digest that way.

He is far too forgiving. Sure I get, he may still have feelings for Mami since the relationship wasn't that long ago, but holy shit. After seeing her bitch ass attitude up close last week, to then stand up against her like he should've back then, only to call her an 'angel' for not hating him wtf.

Man,both Chizuru and Mami-chan are such a great characters. If only Kazuya could tone down with the cringy ex-girlfriend simping it would even better...
well that's just my opinion.....

Luckily not all of us get a little arsenic angel to grace actively sabotage our lives. Hopefully we'll get a better understanding of Mami's character in the next episode, since something clearly seems to be fueling her rage.

I wonder where Ichinose hid her glasses (and pants and shirt) when she transformed into Chizuru. Her attire didn't leave any place for them to hide...perhaps our rental girlfriend is also a magical girl-friend.

Kazuya still continues to struggle with life, but I find the fact that he can be honest with Chizuru to be the best indicator of relationship potential. It will be an uphill battle for him, but I wish him the best.

I think she just left them in the bathroom. AFAIK no-one else went in there after she came out, so she could have doubled back to get everything.

Probably overthinking this though. :D

Mami sure is pulling out all the stops in order to temp Kazuya once more. Despite the mood being turned sour by Mami's actions its nice to see Chizuru still be so understanding of Kazuya. Its curious in that Mami seems to have two distinct personalities though. The visit to the beach sure proved to be quite interesting for all parties though. Chizuru's quick change sure saved Kazuya's bacon though. Overall an excellent ep that did well in expanding upon Mami's character while also improving upon Kazuya and Chizuru's as well. Looks like Mami has began the first phase of her plan. Pretty catchy ending theme.

I know people have been saying the main character is really annoying and stupid, but still.....I never thought it could be this bad. He really got on my nerves this episode

Chizuru is the best girl so far, But I hope for the orange hair girl, She is absolutely adorable

well this episode, is crazy. the spider webs that the characters keep getting caught in is unbelievable.....between mami getting baited into thinking they are dating to Kazuya thinking that Ichinose cares for him, and to top it all off Ichinose goes out of her way to stay at the beach and go along with this big fat facade. I m middling because I really think Ichinose does care for MC tho she is probly to Tsundere to admit it. Unless she does this for all her customers which I doubt.

also that last scene where she said she "trust's him" ........... ouch

Good episode, but holy shit Mami is infuriating.

"Maya will never be born" YOU BROKE UP WITH HIM THOOOOOOO

And the virgin Kazuya is of course falling for it. Which is frustrating in its own way, but it absolutely makes sense.

That seems like the only thing she could have done. Still, leaving something like your glasses behind in a public restroom is something I couldn't ever do (though maybe people have more respect for random abandoned property in Japan.) It's really too bad that Chizuru doesn't wear glasses, since she definitely looks fantastic with them.

This shit is getting harder and harder to watch by the episode, Kazu is legit so spineless and Mami is the definition of toxic and I don’t even understand her motives. She breaks up with him but she is getting mad when he gets a new girlfriend? this is just laughable.

Yep; absolutely true. It's a power/control thing. The whole concept of the friendzone is a "lite" version of what Mami's doing.

The plot is just SO dry, so so so dry. It's hurting my brain, if not for Chizuru and boobies I would've dropped this anime long ago, I never dropped an anime before and this would've been the first one. I just hate it, every time Trashzuya-kun speaks I just want to punch his face. Not because he is a simp, not because he is the most pathetic virgin ever, not because his face is stupid, but because how idiotic his choices are.

"Mami-chan is showing my her boobs, let me tell her about Chizuru and how she's a rental girlfriend and then fucking up my social life by exposing what a sad and pathetic simp I am"

You thought the MC from School Days was the worst? HAH! You are clearly in the wrong. Just a little, just a little development is all I asked from the MC, every episode he just keeps pissing me off. He can't stand up for his rental gf, how can he stand up for his real gf? Can he stand up at all? Impotent fuck. I hate him, I just honestly hate him.

This anime is the definition of how ONE character can ruin the whole fuckin anime.

Episode was ok, but I wasn't impressed by the ED visuals (it looked like the beginning was basically depicting Kazuya jerking off, which I didn't particularly want to see).

That aside, it looks like next episode we'll see the scene where
so I'm excited to see how that goes :)

Teenager or not, it doesn't even matter. He just sucks badly. Being a teenager isn't an excuse for autism. This dude almost revealed his raging virgin instincts to Mami-chan. Why you ask? Because she showed her boobs, that's all. He is probably the worst MC I've ever seen, his existence makes me sad.

He's either 18 or 19 since he's in his first year of university. So technically, he is a teenager, but he's acting about 4 or 5 years too young for his age.

Poor Kazuya-san. He never was noticed, never had moment to shine, now that he is getting some attention (even for the weird reasons) it can't be helped that he is unable to handle this situation any better.

Still, he is kinda trash. He is such a virgin that his impulses and needs gets over his reasoning and logic. Hope he survives.

I'm sorry. I know I'm watching a work of fiction and that II have to allow my imagination to fly, but I cannot find a way to envision that a woman as beautiful and generous as Chizuru could ever develop anything but feelings of pity or contempt for a sad sack of bird excrement like Kazuya. heck, I dislike Mami like any sane person would do, but I cannot understand why she even she would date a meh looking fool like him
