| Dammit! Just as Kazuya wanted to make it official for real with Ruka, fate told him NO! Here comes the revelation that Mami know about Chizuru being a rental gf of Kazuya, oh but what's this? Mami wanted Chizuru to drop the act with Kazuya? Hmmmn... Why might she want that? Perhaps... Because Mami is a jealous piece of shit who feel dissatisfied when pathetic dumbass like Kazuya gets to live a more cheerful life compared to her boring monotone life?! It's clear as day that Mami's life is so utterly boring that she dated Kazuya, the pathetic guy he is to spice her own lie up, but now that she's seeing how happy he is, it got to her nerves. Well, that fact alone is absolutely hilarious, nothing is more pathetic than being jealous of another pathetic person. Anyways, if Kazuya was infinitely smarter and more confident than he is, the quickest and most impactful way to solve the situation at the karaoke is quite simple...
These ^^^ events I've listed would have made me = personally utterly satisfied beyond belief. Would've given me an orgasm of satisfaction, but alas, Kazuya is neither smart nor is he confident. But I'd read a fanfic following this scenario if there is any tbh. Welp, the show is absolutely infuriating with Kazuya being one of the most insufferable MC in this show. It's honestly extremely difficult to watch but I ended up watching straight to finish. Nice. At the very least the show ended with a somewhat good note with Kazuya directly confessing his true love for Chizuru before awkwardly shifting his meaning to something else. Damn man. S2 is coming but by the time it does, I would've completely caught up to the latest chapter of Kanojo Okarishimasu's manga. What a shitshow it is and I'm glad I watched it. |
  |
| I'm a sucker for this shit. Reminds me of Nisekoi which I also enjoyed more than I should have. The wait for S2 begins. |
| So good to have a second season ^^ |
| Ruka-chan is maturing, she's now ready to go all out to get Kazuya but at the same time not being too much pushy and possessive like in the previous episodes. Ruka-chan is now my 2nd place best girl. lol Sumi-chan is still shy, but I'm not expecting immediate development from her since she appeared for two episodes only. lol Mami-chan is still problematic. Why she keeps on chasing Kazuya, she's the one who broke up with him in the first place? lol. I don't understand what's going on in her mind. She's just probably bored or her ego was struck because Kazuya found someone better than her. She can't accept the fact that Kazuya is happy, while she's so miserable. lol Best Girl Chizuru is so brilliant, kind, caring and understanding. But, she's not that honest to herself. After dating for a year, it isn't surprising that she started to like Kazuya. Welp, partly thanks to Mami-chan, she's now starting to realize that. And, ofc, after that confession! But, ugh, Kazuya suddenly chickened out. Welp, Season 2 was already announced so I'm just gonna wait for the real development in their relationship. I really enjoyed this show. It's so entertaining.  |

Bibimbapski said: The first image in this episode sums up the series pretty well: a trash can filled with tissues saturated with Kazuya's virgin jizz. I don't know about anybody else, but "masturbation as a coping mechanism" (to me, personally) was never funny. My gut hurts from finding out that a large number of people enjoy this and the manga based on this. I nearly cry from this crushing depression from this bullshit. And yeah, this world's been pretty much filled with bullshit, but this takes the cake. Now, because of Rent-A-GF's popularity; there will be more animu and mango filled with male leads who end up fantasizing, being delusional, and jizzing in their tissues instead of trying to form actual relationships and achieving their goals. Because that's where the money is; the helltons of people who "lost at life" will buy and support the next Reiji and works like these. There. I just needed to get this off my chest. |
 |
| Great anime , cant wait for 2nd season Final score 8/10 |
 |
| Jeez I wanted to punch Kazuya when he blurted out that he wanted Chizuru as her rental... here I was expecting he'd finally be the time to give in the big revelation about his feelings |
 |
| Eh a bit of a choppy end imo. I'd like to see less Ruka in the next season and more Sumi. Kind of a shame for the last ep we got a lot of cunty Mami but overall I thought it was a pretty good show |
| Yeah, kazuya has no character development at all. Nothing special about him. And everything so messed up. So I don’t care for season2. The onlly thing keep me on watching is the humor. And the rental thing sounds like prostitution. Imagine having date with multiple guys some may be old dudes (yeah I know that no sexual or kissing) but that sounds MESSED UP right? |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
| Oh brother. That's screwed up. I expected solid ending in this episode, yet all I got was Kazuya being Kazuya- LIKE, DUDE, YOU EVEN FINALLY SAID IT, AT LEAST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OR WALK AWAY TO AT LEAST PRETEND YOU HAVE A PAIR. LIKE, WHAT'S WITH THAT LAME-ASS WAY TO DODGE THE MATTER, ARE YOU WHAT, KAIKI DEISHUU WITH HIS "JUST KIDDING" AND STUFF? I apologize for that. I liked the episode overall tbh. The ChisuruXMami talk was tense. Chisuru is still best girl(and yes I decided it for myself from the very first episode) and Kazuya is Kazuya. Ruka gives me complicated vibes though, I kinda feel for Kazuya on that front. Good thing season 2 was announced. Maybe there we'll see some real development... "I want you as my rental girlfriend" my ass. |
[right]=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=  |
| wow what a climax that was , someone seems to really care about Kazuya unlike others that are just pure envious , also the thing with Ruka was kinda sad because he didnt finish what he was gonna say while Ruka understood what he was on about , but even if he did that relationship wouldnt work/last leaving Ruka heartbroken nice song choice we all love BunnyGirlSenpai op and finally i thought they would make Kazuya confess at some point but having seen some 12ep anime with a second season (which i learned that got announced an ep before) i thought they were gonna let him do it next season thought they did it but at the same time didnt , i dont blame him thats a normal reaction tbh we also saw Mizuhara's reaction , fucking , pure , cuteness anyway closing off having not read the manga or LN i wanna believe that the next season is gonna be at least as good as this one , much love to the studio <33 |
 |
| Can't believe he went all in and said how he feels out loud. Then plays it off and takes it back. This show is super frustrating...but i cant stop watching and NEED more :3 |
| This episode was not that good or funny but the series was pretty good overall, so I’m positive, I’ll wait the second season or maybe I’ll give a look to the manga. |
 |
| What a fucking ending lol. Kazuya can't follow through on his confession, which is very on brand. All in all, a very interesting anime. I liked it more than I thought I would, if only the fact that I came back every week to hate on Kazuya a little more. Maybe the side arcs with the other girls could have been cut, especially Sumi. She really only showed up as filler before the finale in the 11th episode, could have been saved for next season. Ruka was an interesting diversion, but the main drama of the anime was Mami lol. Either way, looking forward to season 2. |
| Watch Gunsmith Cats!!!! |
| How many great moment Kazuya had? I can count two: diving to save Chizuru, but in the end she gave him cpr and second thing telling his friend that he also had rental girlfriend, but in a strange way... Fist fight with friend was ultra lame and for a bad reason if you wanna name it as third thing. He may be the lamest protagonist of all anime I've watched, but well I don't care as I watch it for Chizuru mostly ;] I hoped it would be first anime when protagonists actually ends up with the main girl and they live happy ever after. I would give it a 10/10 if second season ends like that, but it probably won't. I am tired of multiple routes things and harems like this one where you have many girls going after one guy. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| A full season completed and some people still can't come to grips with the concept of a flawed protagonist. Self-Insert isekai has ruined us, hasn't it? It's completely valid to cringe at everything that Kazuya does- that's the point, he's supposed to be a cringeworthy scumbag (at least he is self aware now at the end though). It doesn't inherently make the show worse, in fact, it means the story is accomplishing its aim, telling the story it wants to tell. Still. there are plenty of other valid reasons to dislike the show. The soundtrack was lacking, beautiful moments of animation were interspersed with lower quality scenes with the same damn filter put in the corner. And if you didn't like the story, that's okay, I won't blame you for that. All in all though, I had a fun time, and I'll certainly watch season two when it airs. 7/10. |

| Interesting season finale. Not full fireworks maybe, but some tense moments. First telling Ruka he wants to make their relationship official, then backing out when he sees Mami and Chizuru walk past. No matter how much some may hate Ruka (and whether there are really reasons to hate her, or just a combination of misunderstanding and grudge, not realizing where she is coming from with her messed up childhood and life) she doesn't deserve being toyed with that much. She clearly truly likes him but just isn't too smart in how to show that. Still, it's her first time ever feeling these strong emotions, that's certain to make you get messed up inside. Speaking of messed up, I'm hoping someday we get some backstory on Mami. How did she end up being this devious, evil and then turn to perfect cheerleader smile over the blink of an eye, and being all bubbly and nice? Something must have happened to her either before she met Kazuya or when they were still dating, because her actions make no sense at all, unless she's just a crazy basket case, beyond redemption. The ending was quite tense too, but turned out as expected. Even if I hadn't read the manga, I would have known it would again be a near-confession. Despite some flaws in the characters, still looking forward to season 2. Any news of a release date, or is that still to be decided upon? |
| Chizura has so many similarities like mai sakurajima. |
Mami's passive-aggressiveness is something to behold. All things considered, the conclusion was anti-climatic. Kazuya still has not realised the value of keeping his mouth shut at appropriate moments. Then again, the more Chizuru on the screen, the better. So long for now. |
| not bad at overral but they should work more on MC character waiting to see what happen next:D |
| So... This show is absolute trash, but, in my perspective, it was really enjoyable trash. Someone give me the power to enter this anime and send Kazuya to the fucking hospital. Man, he was just a garbo protagonist, he pissed me off to the moon and back. BUT, he did manage to realize that Chizuru is the one for him (while fapping omegalul) as the time went by, at least i give him that. Though, him quiet, he is a poet. Chizuru on the other hand, goddamn, she is top tier waifu material, and i don't have to say anything else. I still wonder why she does the rental girlfrind business tho, really curious about that, hopefully we can know about it during the 2nd season. 7/10, yup, another one of my guilty pleasures along with HxEros |

I disagree, there have been many scenes throughout the anime where he has shown some character development. People just say that he doesn't because either they hate the show, hate how he acts, or both. |
| Japan really did it. They made the worst anime created since Pupa. I'm impressed. |

Nakshatra_Tp said: Guyz idk abt u all but i really enjoyed this Idiot MCs cringy actions is the real punch to this anime 😂 And kazuya is not that bad common guyz he just doing what his mind tell unlike us we still cant even speak when bad times comes atleast he brags out what his heart want...we shut our mouths thinking that will cringe all (sometimes) And abt RUKA there too he was playing good man as he can do what ever with her but he still not accepting her as his gf instead he still have love for that btch + new feelings for chizuru I agree the MC can be annoying most of the time but he pussied out on the confession (I understand its a cliche scenario since manga is on going) .Though he had the courage from previous episodes to state what was on his mind at the time. |

BoltonB07 said: I don't get how this episode has only 49% 5/5s. What a perfect way to set the anime for a season 2, I cannot wait for it! Maybe many voted before S2 was anounced, and thus felt the episode failed to deliver closure? |
| Dang, Mizuhara got taken aback there by that sudden confession, but man, she can clearly maintain a cool and straight face, until such time. Anyway, I guess this series isn't that bad at all.. apart from Kazuya. I vote for Mizuhara! 8/10 Now the waiting game begins for the 2nd season. |

| Kazuya's character is really frustrating! such a simp! whelp! we got S2...of more simping! 4/5. 7/10. |
 |
| Mami actually made things interesting this episode, wish she'd show up more since I have no interest in Kazuya's love life. |
| I thought that was a really good way to wrap up the first season. I’m anime only and from my perspective it was satisfying. I’m excited for s2, and I hope we get it by next summer, but it’ll probably take longer. I know everyone hates Kazuya, but I don’t mind him. Yeah he started off as an idiot and kinda holds some of those traits towards the end as well, but at the same time, he’s only in these situations because of the actions he did at the beginning of the show and these past actions are just following him around. If anything, I think Mami is the worst character (though she brings in a good amount of drama and entertainment for us). I’m hoping to see more character development in the next season since we’ve now had all of our introductions to the main cast. Whilst I love Mizuhara, I know Sumi is gonna wreck me too, the little cutie! |
| I am done with this anime dropped after watching 6 episodes. |
 |
Maybe reconsider watching episode 7 and the one featuring Sumi. You likely won't regret that. |
Grievingbow said: This anime was garbage so are the fans Nice comment to start the week with, stating an opinion as a fact. If you're having a bad day, I do hope you feel better now, getting this off your chest. |
| Can't give this anything higher than a 7 but I would watch a 2nd season for sure. MC being dumb is kind of the point otherwise it would end in just 3 episodes. |

| Continued this anime until the end just for Chizuru (TENSHI) and a little for Mami-chan ... and dam I’m not regretting! That scene with Mami-chan was too much for my heart CHIZURUUUU ( ; v ; ) plus Sumi-chan is angel no.2 sad they only showed her for two ep |
