This is why we need more anime set at University, watching anime characters get drunk is rare but always funny and creates such entertaining situations.

You know the usual "you like Kanojo Okarishimasu? What a loser" type of comment. Nothing more than a bunch of haters that don't let others enjoy a series they don't like.

You have Megami-ryō no Ryōbo-kun in your favorites, stop talking


And who are you to say "stop talking" to me? lmao.

And please, try to address my comment next time, tell me what is wrong if someone enjoys a shitty series? You have to make fun of someone if they like that series?

Literally nothing is enjoyable about that show, ppl who enjoy it are no older than 13, the characters are badly written, even the ecchi moments are trash. Speaking of ecchi moments, they probably enjoy the show because of those, pathetic.

Are we talking about Kanojo Okarishimasu? I have to agree that the series is trashy, specially the manga which at this point is complete trash. But again, there is nothing wrong with enjoying a shitty series and no one needs to go to the point of making fun of others because they like said shitty series.

Obviously we are talking about rent a girlfriend, plus when did I make fun of him? He has not seen enough anime so he thinks rent a girlfriend is actually good, that's why I told him to start his second anime. If you look at his list, he has only completed 1 anime.

Easy, you think he haven't seen enough anime but if you look at his profile you can perfectly see that he basically doesn't update his list, that's easily the reason of why he doesn't have much things in completed or even in watching which is weird tbh.

how can someone who watched almost 2k anime think that rent a girlfriend is good, I'm baffled. well anyways I'm not making fun of him, it's weird that someone actually likes that garbage of a show, Im not going to force anyone into disliking it obviously, it was just weird to me.

If you took a drink every time Kazuya overthought something or overreacted to something you'd get more drunk then he was this episode.

"Look at Chizuru suffering through hell"

My guy, she is slightly uncomfortable around drunk guys she doesn't know. This ain't some grand catastrophe

Weirdos do not define the quality of a show. Otherwise shows like Kaguya Sama and Spy x Family would be considered poorly written.

I don't get the rules of this game, why he had to keep on losing every time?
"Takenoko Takenoko Nyoki Ki

One rather rowdy game is Takenoko Takenoko Nyoki Ki. In Japanese ‘takenoko’ means bamboo, and ‘nyoki’ is the sound bamboo shoots make when they sprout; ‘ki’ means tree. This game is best played with a group of bigger than five.

How it works is each person has to say a number in ascending order between one and one less than the amount of people in the group followed by ‘nyoki’, for example if there are eight people in the group you start with ‘ichi nyoki’ (one nyoki) and go up to ‘nana nyoki’ (seven nyoki). You can jump in with the next number anytime, but if you say the same number at the same time as someone else you’re both eliminated and have to drink. If you don’t manage to say a number at all you’re out too."


If this is the one.. They should just wait till number 5 was on and if no one else screw up then Kazuya could blew it with the sixth person saying the numbe 6r, so Chizuru would just be the last and never had to drink, and Kazu would not lose everytime...

well at least we know he got golden toilet :D

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

You are confusing weird with poorly written character. Weird =/= negative trait, otherwise genres such as comedy would never work. That's not logical.

You don't get my point, them being weird alone would not make them bad, but they are poorly written, so thats what makes them trash. and u had no problem seeing that virgin masturbate to his ex? you need to rethink your life choices man

You claimed that weirdness is a negative trait. I am saying it's not. You used an example of him masturbating to suggest that he's poorly written. I am saying that's not what makes him poorly written.

so you think him masturbating to his ex bitch was good? and there are levels to weirdness, just a lil bit weird is fine, but he's on another fucking level, I have never seen character as down bad as him, he is also VERY poorly written, and that's a fact.

The portrayal of him masturbating to his ex by itself does not define how well written he is, thus it neither makes his character good nor bad in terms of writing quality.

Your whole argument is basically "I don't like seeing character A do X (or character A does weird things), therefore character A is poorly written". That's a flawed argument because preferences have nothing to do with writing quality.

Personality flaw is irrelevant to me; anti-heroes in any show have personality flaws. They in no way indicate the quality of a writing (nor of my enjoyment of a series), thus I do not care about such trivial things. Him having a personality flaw does not matter to me whatsoever, otherwise I'd stick only to superhero shows that teach the audience good moral values.

You have in no way justified him being poorly written because you are incapable of doing so.

Here, I copied facts from google since I'm too lazy to write an entire essay.

This is one of the few animes that was actually physically difficult to watch. It wasn’t because it was necessarily bad, but it is one of the cringiest ones I’ve ever watched. The main character is Kazuya who is immediately dumped by his girlfriend Mami at the onset of the show. Driven by despair, Kazuya finds an app that allows you to rent a girlfriend for a date. He ends up getting Chizuru and the two have what seems like a perfect date. Of course, Chizuru was just doing her routine, it is her job after all, and Kazuya initially gets upset after seeing reviews of others describing similar dates. He books her again, ostensibly to tell her off, but during their date his grandma is apparently in the hospital and they both go to see her. The main drama gets setup here with both parties lying that they’re really dating, Chizuru’s grandma is an in-patient there too and doesn’t know about her job, and awkwardness ensues. Things are further complicated by the fact that both of them not only go to the same school, but live next to each other. Similar events occur with more and more lies causing Kazuya to keep renting Chizuru to save face. Mami also grows jealous of Kazuya now and schemes to break up the fake relationship. Apparently, as the series goes on more girls are added and it becomes harem-esque but he keeps renting Chizuru during all of it.

I personally cannot deal with cringe. I don’t know if it’s because I’m too empathetic or what but watching it makes me physically uncomfortable. Kazuya keeps making poor decisions after poor decisions and ends up in so many awkward positions, and is just an awkward person in general, that I struggled to keep watching how things would turn out. Kazuya is also made very horny, to the point that we see a few of his lewd visions and implies masturbation, so that’s also a thing (oh and of course sexualized shots of the girls). This is a trash anime to be sure, though your mileage may vary on if this is the kind of trash for you.

Is it trash? YES

The main character is Kazuya who is immediately dumped by his girlfriend Mami at the onset of the show. Driven by despair, Kazuya finds an app that allows you to rent a girlfriend for a date. He ends up getting Chizuru and the two have what seems like a perfect date. Of course, Chizuru was just doing her routine, it is her job after all, and Kazuya initially gets upset after seeing reviews of others describing similar dates. He books her again, ostensibly to tell her off, but during their date his grandma is apparently in the hospital and they both go to see her. The main drama gets setup here with both parties lying that they’re really dating, Chizuru’s grandma is an in-patient there too and doesn’t know about her job, and awkwardness ensues. Things are further complicated by the fact that both of them not only go to the same school, but live next to each other. Similar events occur with more and more lies causing Kazuya to keep renting Chizuru to save face. Mami also grows jealous of Kazuya now and schemes to break up the fake relationship. Apparently, as the series goes on more girls are added and it becomes harem-esque but he keeps renting Chizuru during all of it.

I personally cannot deal with cringe. I don’t know if it’s because I’m too empathetic or what but watching it makes me physically uncomfortable. Kazuya keeps making poor decisions after poor decisions and ends up in so many awkward positions, and is just an awkward person in general, that I struggled to keep watching how things would turn out. Kazuya is also made very horny, to the point that we see a few of his lewd visions and implies masturbation, so that’s also a thing (oh and of course sexualized shots of the girls). This is a trash anime to be sure, though your mileage may vary on if this is the kind of trash for you.

Is it trash? YES


No part of this post explains why Kazuya, or the story, is poorly written. The first paragraph is a synopsis. The second paragraph explains that the reviewer is uncomfortable watching the show. That's it, nothing else. There is no insightful analysis whatsoever on the author's development of the characters and his style of writing, nor of the producer's audio and visual techniques in portraying a theme.

Moreover, it's as if the reviewer did not understand that the author's main plot premise is to put the characters in awkward, tense situations via their decisions, thus making the audience "physically uncomfortable". My guess is that the reviewer does not even comprehend the point of the story.

Why would I waste my time listing things that make him a poorly written character? I told you to tell me just ONE good thing about him but u did not, simply because you cant.


You basically want me to describe to you one good personality trait he has which misses the point entirely. To reiterate, it is not about personality traits; they do not matter in a quality of a story nor of my enjoyment of a series.

Please explain why he's poorly written.

The story is obviously poorly writte, a harem anime with a dogshit mc will always be poorly written, one day the author woke up and decided to come up with the most retarded shit I have ever seen.
A mc that wants to have sex with every single female he sees but only loves one? yep that's the mc of rent a shit.
Rental girlfriends who somehow started to like a nolife dumbass like him? yea that's a very good story, right?
the author gave useless rental girlfriends more screentime than the girl who the mc actually loves, WOW WHAT GREAT WRITING SKILLS.
Here I will link you an yt explaining why the show is bad, and bad means poorly written, does not it?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bPPeN6TkttY
Those 3 reasons as to why he is poorly written should be enough, the other characters are retards too, obviously. And the point of the show is to put the characters in awkward situations? That's literally so garbage, it gets repetitive as FUCK, not to mention the mc being a PUSSY and not revealing his feelings to the girl he has a crush on (I forgot both his and her name, that's how shit they are).
iirc the manga has more than 250 chapters, STILL NO PROGRESSION, the author is milking the shit out of the series, how can't you end a ROM-COM within 200 chapters? the mc still has not told his feelings toward *her* and Im 100% sure the ending of the series will be him confessing, in 5-10 years, that is.
