| This episode didn't quite have the spice of the past episodes...not sure exactly why, though I will say I felt the same about the second episode, so I don't think it's necessarily a death knell for my future enjoyment. Bibimbapski said: His personality doesn't match up either. He's such a show off and is easily manipulated but goes on a rant on how much of a fucking piece of shit he is. I'm personally not convinced that this is evidence of personality mismatch. Generally, those that show-off do so precisely because they aren't confident. Kazuya's weakness does seem to be a little over the top, and I certainly don't think you need to like him as a character, but I wouldn't call him inconsistent just because he shows different faces to different people. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| I liked that episode. I'm starting to like this show. Less screen time for lame MC is better. New character is re-energizing. Mizuhara is fantastic.  Bibimbapski said: I hate those moments when Kauzya's like "Oh I bet you hate me because I'm such a loser. I'm worthless." Yeah that's extremely cringeworthy and unattractive. |

| Looks like the next episode's gonna be annoying asf. Gosh that Ruka chick should just disappear already. |
 |
| kazuya's friends are gross which guys IRL keep making remarks about how hot their friend's girlfriend is - INFRONT OF HER???? ruka is cute but i can't wait for sumi's appearance alr! also why is she meddling into their affairs? what's it to her even if chizuru is a rental girlfriend? talk about nosy. cute but completely annoying when she asked them to kiss to prove it to her. even worse than mami, at least mami has a clear motivation/some relationship to kazu this girl comes out of nowhere & demands things from them. WORST girl. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Really hate Kazuya self loathing / pitying stuff moreover when he's saying it in front of people (in this case Chizuru) it looks like he just want to get pity or sympathy not to self reflect, if he want to self reflect about his shortcoming, atleast dont say it out loud and act better. Not really understand either the scene in his campus where Kazuya and Chizuru declare they prolong their dating, its not only keeping the lie and misunderstanding, now not only his circle know they dating, the whole class now know it too (maybe not whole but at least someone who doesnt know now the know), and maybe more people will also misunderstood their relation or even worst maybe someone from the class will found out they faking their relationship. I really want to understand MC action, but the more i try the more bad his image to me. |
| Ruka is cute, but she seems a bit immature. I still prefer Chizuru coz she's mature, strong, kind, righteous and helping Kazuya with his growth. But how did Ruka know that Chizuru is a rental girlfriend? Unless, Ruka herself is also a rental girlfriend. I like that Kazuya is being more honest about his true feelings and starting to move on from his rubbish ex-gf Mami. Don't look anywhere else, Kazuya. Right Girl Chizuru is right in front of you! I thought Kazuya will blush or something after drinking the water Chizuru gave and wil think that it's an indirect kiss. But, that fake kiss surely startled Kazuya!  |
| F*cking FINALLY we get one of the other two girls. It seems so late to start introducing them. It seems like they’re betting on a second season which is a risky move. There’s every chance they won’t get one, but I respect them if they feel this is best for the show’s pacing |
| Kazuya and Chizuru is acting kind of similar right now with how they are both hiding their feelings for each other. And Yui *cough* I mean Ruka has finally appeared and if we know Yui hehe which we do Ruka is going to get cucked. I really enjoyed that episode, though I want them to just get together already this ain't that kind of anime. This is trash and so am I. |
 |
| That was a fun episode. I genuinely laughed at some scenes and I really think Ruka is cute. And not to mention Nao Touyama's is her VA, what a treat. Is she still in High School? Because I think she's still wearing a uniform in some scenes. And that "fake" kiss scene lol. I'm curious on how Ruka found out that Mizuhara is a Rental Girlfriend. Well time to find out in next week's episode I guess. |

Sekirodiealotoft said: Bibimbapski said: Wtf are you saying, he's always acting like a fake chad in front his ex-girlfriend and friends. Sorry your feelings were hurt because Kazuya is a shit character but not everyone likes him. He hasn't improved at all. He's still the same. He's constantly self-pitying but does nothing to progress. My feelings ain't hurt. I just like watching you people complain about kazuya and come up with arbitrary about how "shit" he is when he barely whined in this episode He whines about himself in every episode. He did it in this episode too. I have nothing against people who like him but damn you're really out here defending this loser. |

| 臭い- |
| I am almost sure that Ruka is a rental girlfriend. These boys are pathetic, they keep staring at girls' asses and boobs with no discretion at all. Like come on, you're not in middle school anymore. I mean it's one thing to look at someone's body and another to keep your eyes glued there without considering you're coming off as a pervert. I swear Kazuya and his friends think about how desperate they are for sex 24/7 |
| I am glad, Chizuru acted much mature and kept her idealism as a pro rent girlfriend. I might feel that she just wanted to get a fast confession from Kazuya. But, this series might post-poned the event of it first due to the certain of generic reason. Obviously, the series needed to get Kazuya developed much until he got a strong impression of a nice male mc. For now, he got the turn point to changed Chizuru heart. He needed to surpassed another burden into his miserable low-life. Adding Ruka in the show, made Kazuya just gone crazy again like shit. Its like they just served the right people into the right time. Hold on, dude, hold on! Because i smelt such acunning way from Ruka! Its about the competition for a good ratings that she got jealous? Or she just got orderred by other people? Somehow this trash turned my curiosity into a good mode again! But still, Kazuya's reaction was too stupid to handle. And Chizuru just kept denying her own feeling, make the clicheness felt very under pressure already. Ruka's fact that she was an underage teenager was not a satisfying issued for me. Because she just met with Kazuya by such a stupid coincidence like that! So, lets just skipped the unnecessarity, and move on to knowing the real intentions of that ribbon chick, Ruka! |

| I think this need to be mentioned here as this manga scene was skipped in this episode: Dunno why they removed this scene as it showed her motivation and it also made her at least bit more relatable. Also, as for Ruka, she has her reasons. I wouldn't say the anime is rushed, for what it's worth it's actually pretty true to original source so far. |
 Ruka appeared the anime at last!! Her voice feel more Yui than Chitoge. Can't use that high energy on Ruka chara. |
 |
| My god Kazuya, you're so pathetic. Ruka's cute as well but not as much as Mizuhara. Mizuhara's a goddess. |
 |
| Sorry to y'all but other thing than the animation and the character desings, this show isn't worth watching at all. At least not for me, In my opinion all of them act like fkin stupids, every single character from here. Even tho some of them have good traits, it doesn't fit this type of anime. |
 |
| Probably the most enjoyable episode so far. OMG, rock climbing! That's my sport! My rock climbing gym has been closed since the pandemic started, so I really, REALLY miss rock climbing. Ruka seems like a nice and fun girl, or maybe it's because I always like Touyama Nao's characters. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| By common sense, a stronger supposition about Ruka knowing Chizuru's secret is because she is also a rental girlfriend lol But the interesting part is that she is glaring at their false relationship for some reason :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Damn Kazuya keep continue being dumb dumb.... I'm gonna guess Ruka is also Rental Girlfriend |
 |
| did you notice that in the ed ruka goes for the kiss not mizuhara |
 |
Ashhk said: It's so obvious that she's a rental girlfriend too and that she's going to fall in love with him even if he has nothing attractive and that he's horrible...xD At least it's good to see a new character for the story and stop the infinite same development with Chizuru You hit the nail on the head, I presume. Kudos to them if they subvert this ancient trope. |
| uh oh! |
Meio1 said: did you notice that in the ed ruka goes for the kiss not mizuhara Good catch, the ending changes depending on the girl. |
| It's too obvious that the other girl is also a rental kanojo xdd |
| Good lord that episode was so fucking predictable from start to finish :s Also how hard can it be to figure out that the new girl is 99% certainly also a rental girlfriend, seriously. You'd at least figure Chizuru ought to be able to put two and two together |
  |
 Watta way to introduce Ruka.........and yep she also in the same trade as Mizuhara. Ok, so Kazuya want to still continue his fake relationship with Mizuhara...even thought doing so will make him go broke. |
| What is going on? I want to predict Ruka will end up being best girl, but this chapter is an actual cliffhanger. Why Kuri has a girlfriend that actually knows Chizuru is a rental? It´s because she is also a rental? The easy answer would be yes, but then why Kuri told Kazuya to "read between lines" (he wanted to take her home) when the Terms and Conditions say that rental girlfriends can´t enter client´s houses? That means she actually isn´t a rental? I have so many questions... |
| Buenos Aires, Argentina Check my latest web novel on Our Greatest Comeback🦊⛩️ and please drop a like or comment if you liked it! |
| Kazuya bumping into Ruka just to find out Ruka is Kuri's gf Ahahahahah. |
 |
| Another fine episode but it’s hard to watch it and not feel embarrassed even a bit xD |
 |
| woaa mizuhara accepted on being his girlfriend for longer. is ruka a rental too maybe and saw her in the agency so that's why she knows? if not, why is she so worked up about it? i love touyama's voice sm. |
| why dafuq is she blaming them when it's obvious ... geeeeeez, this is getting dumb lol agreed with what some people said above, as much as Mami is annoying, she can't be any more fake than this one, might as well keep the story with just the 3 of them :v |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Slowing realising everyone in this show is absolute fucking trash. Nobody comes out of this situation with a shread of dignity. |
| HAHAHAHAHA I thought that Kuri (that friend with glasses) also rented Mizuhara just after her session with Kazuya. ... But it didn't happen. Feels good that what I thought it would happen turned out to be false for once (even though always the worst happens in this serie) also seems like goodbye Mami's screentime, you were the best character at the moment lol And this ending is a pain to watch and we have to for every single episode (but the song is a pleasure to listen to) |
| bonjour |
| Nao Toyama fits the Ruka role so well it feels natural. Also, Kazuya hurts to watch sometimes I feel the awkwardness coming through the screen. |
 |
| I'm loving this Anime so far. It pains me to see how people are calling this Anime Trash!!! I just can't understand! Well, this Episode was Super Awesome....Mizuhara really got nerves of steel...That kiss scene was cute.......... btw I can easily tell that Ruka is also a Rental Girlfriend.....isn't that obvious? |
 |
| But in the end, TOUYAMA NAO always plays VA role of the girl next to the main female lead, NISEKOI (& similar anime) being an excpetion. Just saying. :) As a voice actor, she has an adorable voice. |
| Mizuhara's climbing probably awakened my new fetish. It is kind of odd how the new girl manage to discern that Mizuhara is a rental girlfriend. Unless... |
| How did she know that she's a rental girlfriend? Because she also is lmao xD Pretty decent episode, a little more of the same Kazuya but Chizuru was pretty cold in this episode i guess. Gotta be the next episode then. I really want to see more of Kazuya evolving, but it's been hard, most of the moments he talks is more of the same "i am so bad, date me", would be great to see him pass this phase. It felt a little disappointing the whole sleeping scene, i was really expecting something more. But i hope that Ruka came to change everything! |
