THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It took more than half the show but it's about damn time that Sumi finally showed up. The date between her and Kazuya was honestly awkward imo. Sumi was blushing more than any other girl in the show while Kazuya reacted the way he usually do with cute girls.

Actually now that I think about it, Sumi's face is pretty much red every time she even talks, looks, or interacts with Kazuya. Otherwise, I kinda face palmed this episode. Oh and Nami is still relevant. Wonder how they'll wrap this season up.

The last girl has arrived, how do I call Sumi-chan's character? Well, I hate this type. If Sumi-chan has big oppai maybe I will put Sumi-chan into my favorite list. Looks like Kazuya has really become a bad boy, can this be called a date ... idfc.

Why did Chizuru have to stop, and also why Mami appeared at the last moment.

The expressions of this episode were on point for all the characters.

We got Kazuya with the shocked face.



Not going to lie kind of don't want this series to end its a guilty pleasure of mine really like it for its quirks. Make the whole show very enjoyable burst out laughing a lot during this episode.

Also, the funny scene with Sumi when she grabs his arm.



Not going to lie done this a few times.

So they are gonna introduce the best girl in the last 2 episodes where she doesn't get enough screen time? Why is this anime so bad?

Bro this show is so fucking trashy, dudes literally just coming up to sumi lifting her skirt up, what type of bullshit.. plenty of mami today so 10/10 ep. Sumi is also really cute, but the mute personality is a pass for me.

Sumi is definitely the best, her shyness is so cute to watch xD
But well Mami is back at her "evil" role, we'll probably get a dramatic last episode... high chances for it to be cringe though like 80% of the anime, can't wait next week for this anime to be finished.

thought we would see mami back before the last episode.

i feel like chizuru will say she's actually dating kazuya but he accepts the job and doesn't mind it? hmm
seeing how she reacted thinking about grandma then maybe she won't reveal their relationship is transactional.

Good news!!! Sumi Chan is finally here!!
Bad news... Just for two episodes...

I feel confused about this series, beacuse although I´ve laughed with all its episodes, it fells like something is just missing.. (more Sumi´s time maybe) We´ve already close to the end and I dont know if this is going to close in a good way (but today episode has been funny, I admit it) so...just waiting for next one!

Easily my favorite character in the whole show, I’ve been reading the manga and have been waiting for her this whole time. Yes she only had like 10 lines but it was great. During her screen time, I was dying and coming back to life. Mami oh Mami, get out the show, please do, I don’t want you here hoe. Mami added drama which is one of the two things I like about her, the other being her looks. Even so, this is probably my favorite episode out of all of them. Just one more girl to go.....

Sumi is so adorable! She's so hardworking and trying to better herself, I can really admire that. I need more of this girl! If we don't get a second season, it will be one for me to read!

Mami was the last person Kazuya had to run into. Now Mami knows all about the Rent a Girlfriend site and who are registered there, including Chizuru! Next week gonna be spicy!

Atleast the show is aware of it's own problem!

Hmm if anything the rental girlfriend field sure has no shortage of applicants for its role. Still its nice to see Sumi has such a structured daily routine. Still given her personality its no wonder she struggles with the job. The Q&A format that was used when expanding Sumi's personality sure was a nice touch. Still Kazuya's observation of Sumi sure was spot on. Her lack of knowledge regarding social activity sure is a concern. Still it was cute seeing Sumi slowly warm up to Kazuya with the offering to taste her ice cream the cutest. Mami's re-entry sure spiced up their date. But man Mami's intrigue about the days events sure served to put her in a rather threatening position with regards to Kazuya. Still looks like the time of ending is fast approaching for Kazuya's relationship with Chizuru with Mami being the final trial. Overall a strong ep that while doing well in introducing Sumi also did well to expand upon Mami as well. Curious to see how this will end now that the secret is out though.

Wow, I actually liked this episode! Kazuya was actually a pretty cool dude this episode. and I understand why Sumi-chan has such a following!

I wonder what's gonna happen in the next episode with Mami and Chizuru (I could read the manga, but I'll wait the week).

I'm glad I finally got to see the 4th girl (Sumi). The date went as well as I expected it would be since Chizuru said she was timid, shy, and an introvert who wants to change. I don't get why people think something different would happen during her date with Kazuya. It was awkward, but I think both people improved, while Sumi improved a lot more. I think the reason why she improved so much was because of Kazuya taking the lead during the date and even protecting her from the 3 guys who were harassing her during the bowling scene. I'm wondering how the final episode will go since Mami knows that both Sumi and Chizuru are rentals. I wish this girl would fuck off already.

On the bright side, Chizuru is thinking of quitting the rent-a-girlfriend job in the future.

I'm just waiting for the confirmation of season 2 now. We have plenty of story hinted at and 30 minutes isn't even close to enough time to make an ending
We got a hint of Mami's story and I assume all the girls know of each other now.

Second, I see a lot of people felt this episode was cringe but I thought Sumi was super endearing. She is trying so hard! Third, Mami-chan knows! Things are about to blow up and I can't wait for it to happen! Season finale next week!

What can I say... it is very interesting!

I'm pretty sure they already had S2 in planning from the get go, so they're not going to just wrap it up. Obviously Ruka is going to be invoked to help somehow cover up the ordeal. Though I have my suspicions that we are witnessing a transition into Chizuru having to pretend to be Kazuya's girlfriend in "real life" as well, if not give up the entire career on the spot.

The only thing that's sure, is they're gonna have to seriously bend over backwards to satisfy Mami.

Sumi is awesome, I can't wait to see her development as a character in the future.

As for what we just saw at the end, I am really excited as well as anxious for what is going to go down in the season finale. I definitely have to read the manga after I finish watching this season, because it was definitely enjoyable despite some of its flaws.
Have a great day!

Probably the episode I enjoyed the most. Sumi was really adorable, she seems completely normal, except for her shyness of course. By the way, I think she blushed in 95% of scenes she was in.
Kazuya didn't make me wanna punch him in the face again, looks like he's improving, or I just got used to him.
Mami found out about Kazuya's schemes, took her long enough, she should've suspected him when she saw him with Chizuru.
Inteterested on how they'll finish this out.
One more to go lads!

Beyond the appearance of the lovely Sumi. I liked the push that was given to the plot this chapter. A necessary twist prompted by Mami-chan. I was starting to get fed up with the eternal disagreements between Kazuya and Chizuru. It is appreciated that with this episode the story begins to unfold. Does anyone know if there will be a second season?

Sumi-chan is finally here and I really want a second season now. Such a cutie. Kazuya and Sumi really fit together honesty. They both can learn a lot from each other. Of course Mami reapears aswell. You have no harem rom-com without some drama.

So Sumi-chan finally appears. She's cute, but is extremely shy around strangers. The date between Kazuya and Sumi was awkward at first, but they started to for some type of chemistry towards the end. It was nice that Kazuya took the lead while Sumi was trying her best to try everything while dating. Mami appears again and spots Kazuya dating Sumi and starts to get jealous that he's dating both Chizuru and Sumi at the same time. Mami finds out that Sumi is a rental girlfriend along with Chizuru, so she's looking to expose Chizuru and Kazuya's fake relationship.

OMG, this was one of my favorite episodes. We had Sumi's first appearance and I have to say that I liked the way they told us about her story in the begin of the episode, it was different from Ruka's turn. We also had Mami-chan discovering the truth about Kazuya and Mizuhara. I'm very excite for the next and last episode of this season. I want to see how Kazuya Will deal with Mami-chan knowing the truth.
