At first I wanted to understand the pain of the boy but already at the end of this is that he is a precocious boy, he despises himself, he is very hesitant and I do not know what else. I was about to drop until this episode,... But... ah, I don't know if to continue it.

Good Evening MAL, this is your boy Kazuya, and about like 30-45 minutes ago, I beat the fuck out of my dick so god damn hard that I can't even feel my left leg, my left leg has went totally numb. And, my dick has also went totally numb, to the point where it feels fucking weird when I go and take a piss.

best part about the masturbation scene was the unintentionally hilarious rock music they decided to play in the background during all of it in lieu of the situation. the kitschy stuff just kina works in really trying to portray that “AW HELL YEAH, IM READY” emotion

I’m a little pissed she never even check his pulse nor for a breath. What a horrible portrayal of CPR. That’s NOT how it’s done. I get the trope though.

I feel for Kazu but I also want to kick his a$$ for being such a dolt and acting all worthless. Clearly he’s much better than that. At least he’s finally realizing his feelings in his heart rather than his pants.

I’m surprised this manga was adapted so straight forward. Again I don’t get how they can be ok with this but interspecies reviewers gets dropped. Has Kazu-kun missed an episode where he didn’t spank the monkey at least once during each episode?

Seriously do most boys really rub one out that often??? I know how frequent it is for girls alone time but OMG boys, you would think more guys would be sore. Clearly the title sequences even implicitly focus on it with the token tissue paper.

Needless to say this episode rubbed me the right way or rather maybe it was just 🤞🏼me but it sure took a lot longer to watch! 😉

I can’t wait for next weeks episode.

Apparently Miyajima sensei. Well maybe his wife does it. How can a married with kids mangaka think boys normally do that. Girls possibly (I’m not saying I do 😉) quite often but boys???

Goddamned, seeing the plot really turned into a crazy cliche and so generic made me cringe. Seriously, he felt in love after such a long time, and his reaction like that? So cringe and painful for me to watched. Even that fantasy scene. Lmao. Crazy shit. The author must be wanted to make Kazuya as realistic as ever. But it just turned out into a mess. Sorry, i might feel so cheesy about this show. But thats my point. Its too over reacted, the storyline itself was too insane, i can't believe they still hold on the same lied again and again with the wrong motives. Seriously, how stupid the script it was to made every scenes felt long and span more. Even their characterization felt really unbeliavable, unlikeable, and a big nope.

Fortunately, the next episode one kinda had another girl coming up to this miserable show. I just hope her story kinda nice, or imma cursed myself.

SHE KISSED HIM (I know its CPR but still)!
She is starting to LOWKEY catch feelings for Kazuya and I am so excited.
I am so glad the whole thing with Mami is over literally she is straight trash.
Kazuya even tried to masturbate to her (I was hella uncomfortable) and he couldn't stop thinking about Mizuhara YESS.
Those grandmas are the funniest characters really trying to set them two up.
THEIR ROMANCE IS GROWING AND I AM WAITING.

This is weird,I like the manga,I mean,I REALLY like the manga,and so far this has been a decent adaption,but it seems to me like its going really,really slow.I dunno,maybe I'll have to go back and re-read the manga.
Though Ruka's nearly here,so maybe it'll pick up pace now.
Also,certainly wasn't expecting that fap scene.Damn,Kudos for animating that bit :)

Kazuya fans making the argument that “if you do not like kazuya’s character you are unrealistic and only like fantasy, perfect and cool characters”. Firstly, just because you don't like a character doesn't mean you fit a certain label. If you don't like a character, you don't like them, it is what it is. Personally, I don't particularly like his character because he's ignorant, selfish, outrageously awkward and makes bad decisions. Despite this, I am willing to give his character a chance. But then you have people in the comments sucking up to him and criticizing people who don't like his character. It just makes us dislike his even character more.

Secondly, it seems like they are making him out to be one of the best main characters ever who is soooo relatable and realistic. Just because a character is realistic does not mean we have to like them. Look at the likes of subaru (re; zero) and 8man (Oregairu). They are REALISTIC characters and are still likable. But then you have kazuya. You can be a realistic character and be unlikable. Reaslitic ≠ Likable or Good. The exaggeration of how good Kazuya's character is just annoying and serves no purpose. After reading the comments it makes me realize how bad a fan base this anime has and we are only 5 episodes in! The fanbase just has a load of people who exaggerate how good the anime is because its 'Realistic'. Realise how I am using the word ‘Realisitic’ so much because that’s the only thing people use to defend his character. I don't even hate the series and I really want it to do well. But its people like this who spoil it for you.

Thirdly, I don’t see the realism in his character. I saw a comment that said “The people complaining don’t understand that if they face the same situation, they will also act like him. They just cannot accept it ”. I cannot help but to laugh at this comment. Who in real life faces a situation where they rent a girlfriend and pay her for her services? A normal person would know that you can’t buy love with money (bear in mind he’s 20 years old). What person in real life is so awkward that he can’t even hold a conversation with his own friends without getting flustered and nervous? I’ve seen awkward people before and I’m a bit awkward myself. But I’ve never seen someone awkward to his extent. The only realistic part of his character is that he is a simp and a push over. However, I am not too bothered by this side of his character because I understand everyone has flaws. Hopefully, he improves himself as a character by the end of the series. So yes, I don’t understand because your point is complete nonsense. You can’t assume someone’s personality based on their like or dislike for a character. Do you know me? How would you know if I would act in the same way?



Well said.

It amazes me the length others would go to defend this MC, trying to justify his actions and making him out to be the victim. Just because one may understand where his coming from and why his like that (apparently suffering low self-esteem from his family & friends constantly putting him down and his ex dumping him) doesn't necessarily mean they have to condone whatever he does. Whether or not, he finally gets his act together, only time will tell.

Other than that, the ex is such a trashy person. Her character seems to serve no purpose than going around stirring shit up for kicks and giggles. The only way she can be redeemed is getting truck-kun.

Thankfully, the rental GF is the one that's likeable out of the main cast. She's pretty much carrying the show.



Its a very common thing that people will use the arguments of “realism” to defend a bad character. I can only assume that’s because they have shitty good-for-nothing friends or they see their own pathetic selves in Kazuya

The shonen persona in this anime was transfered from MC-kun to his grandmother.

After not only a beach episode, but a beach arc, please welcome the onsen episode ! fanservice overloads.

And that cringe feeling when watching an episode finally disappeared ! just in time for the wank scene haha (wth was that)

Hot take: Kazuya’s grandma sucks. Yeah she can be fun to watch, but she is toxic as hell and is probably the reason why Kazuya is the way he is. Not to mention the scene with Chizuru in the bath was creepy

Yeah Kazuya is pretty spineless, but when your own family is ripping on you every chance she gets I cant fault him too much

fapping can be really hard sth....especially if your mind isn't clean.

Well the grandmas are still the best. They are simply the best. They are having more fun for sure...coincidences...coincidences everywhere. Probably a little too many


It ain't that much of a coincidence for asians man. Grandparents are usually like that if they are friends. Much more so if they knew both their grand kids were dating. This is assuming of course that the family is not the close minded type.

i mean, maybe he was just touching his own boobs to better imagine how touching hers would feel...ofc it's not even similar (since her's are bigger and softer) ... but everything helps when trying to visualize stuff :o

Good episode, mostly because of progressing relationship between those two.

Also, I agree with the guy above, seeing him dying after literally pulling both of them out of the water and crawling along the shore just feels... Not realistic.

And an episode ends with a cliffhanger which basically screams: " YEAH, LET THEM SLEEP CLOSE TO EACH OTHER! THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY GO WRONG!" and stuff. I'm still on hype for the next episode though.

Very little of this anime is predictable, but what one can predict is the important plot points. Chizuru is a tsundere and I bet that Kazuya and her are going to get together in the end and all the other girls are going to fuck off unless Rent-a-Girlfriend puts us on a rollercoaster ride like Domestic na Kanojo.

That was definitely more than simple shirt holding. If you look at the scene closely you can see how his fingers are fumbling "something".

Oh yea, that rollercoaster, lol. Ye atm it kinda feels Chizuru is the best grill, but the red haired girl has still to make her appearance, and from what I've seen in the op, she has potential. As far as I know the manga has like 600 chapters, so I think it will most probably go the rollercoaster route, like there's a lot of plot, or should I say "plot"? kappa

This episode was really nice, fleshing out characters' feelings and resolving feelings towards mami. The fan service completely ruined it though. Both the ending thing but real (why was it so long too) and the hot springs bath were unnecessary and added too much discomfort.
