Seaniem4a said: How is this show nearly over? Everything seems so left open, I couldn't end next episode! Sumi was cool, btw Plenty of interesting manga chapters left. Really looking forward to seeing some later chapters appear in a season 2 of this anime. |
| Not a fan of releasing a new "important" character an episode from the end when the last episode doesn't even seem like it will have her that much involved. She was cute though. The show's been pretty simplistic and cringe, but I've actually liked it so far. Let's see how it ends! |
 |
| Hold on a minute... Job Gear? Is that a Top Gear reference? In MY anime? HAMMOND!!!!!! |
| Watch Gunsmith Cats!!!! |
| Sumi sure is cute, but can't really compete with Chizuru or Ruka. Speaking of which, where is my Ruka? Whole episode without best girl... I totally forgot Mami existed. I hope she returns back to non-existence soon. No need for her meddling. |
| Sumi-chan is probably the cutest girl in the cast, too bad that she was introduced too late lol. Mami is back to cause more trouble, that cliffhanger killed me, ahhhhh. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |

| oh no! Mami-chan is for sure a bad news! Sumi so shy! that kind of shyness is so absurd that being a Rental Girlfriend is out of the question or not even qualified! 4/5. |

| Seeing how Sumi licking an ice-cream turns him on, Mami is the only true best girl for Kazuya. Also I don't get Sumi, she can barely even talk why is she working as a rental girlfriend, specially given that it would be mostly creeps who would rent girls. There are so many other part-time jobs she could have chosen. Looking forward to the next episode, I hope Mami makes things interesting. |
 |
| AAAA SUMI OS SO ADORABLE (>///<) She's so innocent and so sweet it's giving me diabetes! But she's also so determined to improve herself. Definitely a girl to protect! Ok... The biggest threat imaginable has been re-introduced into the story. Now that Kazuya has 3 other girls and Mami know of the existence of rental-girlfriends. This is bound to get a hell lot more complicated! Aahhh... If only Kazuya just shut his mouth up and not reveal the real name just as he did with Chizuru being Mizuhara. Mami would not have found out. Now that Mami knows of this fact, she decided to rent up Chizuru huh... Fuck fuck fuck that bitch. |
  |
| late again but oh man this sucks , the date practice was nice and Sumi looks nice though what happened was only bound to happen , glad that S2 got already announched onto the last it is |
 |
| sumi is sooooo cute im going to cry! ugh i wish she was introduced sooner :( |

| Dang can anyone get this girlfriend renting service even if they're an old man... REEEEEEE yes this is anime by no means does anything have to be realistic but hot dam each rental girlfriend really needs a bodyguard or something trailing them in secret in case anything goes wrong, which would make it safe but also weird for the rental couple aaaahhhh this is brightly colored fun anime but it's gotta make you a bit uncomfortable sometimes...!!! also there's an over-reliance on blush, I hate when a character's blushing for 90% of the time, you gotta SAVE that shit for the moments that really matter man (an extreme nitpick I know), and ALSO the amount of kazuya sweat we get could fill a freaking swimming pool. And I want an alpha male character for some comic relief from this comically-atrocious attempt at humor... and man all the deception is painful, all the misunderstandings are supposed to be a part of the humor but it falls flat... can we have even a little bit of transparency here. This may or not be a plot hole (not that this anime actually has any good plot to begin with), but in a world that has the service of renting girlfriends, you have to assume that not every couple you see is actually a couple. You have to consider the possibility that they are a rental. But mami, and others, go straight to assuming kazuya's got an actual girlfriend. Maybe think twice when rental girlfriends are thing and you happen to see a loser with a hot chick? Yeah I'm overanalyzing for an anime of this low a caliber, but come on you can give us a fun light hearted anime and also not include dumb character writing... like is kazuya's bucktoothed friend (forgot his name) really that weak of a character that he can't see mizuhara with another guy even though he knows full well that she's a rental like wtf Mami and her bro tho let's have some yosuga no sora because why not Despite all that I'm still (for the most part) having fun watching this tho. Mizuhara is like the anti-tsundere tsundere triple s tier waifu with a heart of gold. Give her a man she deserves like damn. Anyway, mainly just watching this cause I felt like watching a new popular anime from this year |

Besides, the Rental Girlfriend service doesn't allow anything besides holding hands, so the company policy probably doesn't object to girls renting a girlfriend, because there is no intimate activities involved anyway. It's more like providing company, and playing whatever the client wants, as long as it's within the job policy. Decent episode, btw, hard to dislike Sumi. Mami clearly has feelings for Kazuya, because she's hurt to see him with another girl. Still wondering who "you-know-who" could be. |
| Sumi's cute and all, but I was totally fixated on Mami-chan's appearance in this episode. She obviously is in some sort of business or pact or something of the like with her brother and "you-know-who," which I speculate to be the reason for her loss in faith in love. We saw that she only wants to date whomever is convenient and that she has an uncanny leaning towards Kazuya now that she thinks that he's a player. It's sad, really, and it shows her warped view of love and relationships. I'm very excited to see that Mami-chan found out about the whole rental girlfriend thing. Will it change her view of Kazuya? Will she lose interest, or will she be more inclined to manipulate him? I'm looking forward to the answers. |

Will she lose interest, or will she be more inclined to manipulate him? I'm looking forward to the answers. I'm curious too. Was she just looking for excitement, as there is a scene where she's sitting in a luxury car with someone, but she says she's bored? Was Kazuya a means of escape from some situation? Maybe she's stuck in some marriage arrangement, and dating someone else seemed like a way out? But why then break up with Kazuya and after that, realize she can't really let him go? She didn't plan for that, it seems. Or is she simply a 'bad egg' and totally fake? I feel there is more to it, but we don't get any real answers. Either the mangaka himself isn't sure what to do with Mami, or he intended to just keep her around as a character to pop up every now and then, stir up things, and then hide in the shadows for a while. |

| oh wow ngl i actually liked this episode a bit more then the last few. Sumi's character is understandable and cute, she actually has a reason to be doing the job, although a bit weird as there are probably other alternatives to overcoming being shy and timid, that don't involve practically selling your self, but non the less she's got character. I actually like Kazuya when he isn't constantly emptying 9mm rounds into his feat at any given point, and is actually being helpful, taking the initiative. Although it did feel like his interaction with mami weighed down to luck that i could of gone worse, i think when he's taking the lead he actually turns out decent. I swear the only reason mami is still in this plot, is so she can spark drama in this story, and i'm 100% ok with that, cus rn drama in the plot is probably the only thing that's gonna keep me hook- oh there's only 1 episode left. |
 "yabe." |
| Shit gonna happen next one. I FMmatron said: Ikr finally, Chizuru could be good if the setting was diff.A bit late, but with Sumi we finally got a decent girl 🙏🏻 |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Best girl Mami is back!!! :D I have now decided that I am part of the Kazuya X Mami ship. They both treat others terrible, perfect for each other! And Mami is the hottest of the 4 in my opinion. |
| Sumi really shook up my best girl for this show, her "date" with Kazuya was really adorable and LESGO Mami found out the truth! |
| mami-chan...i got kinda pissed when she showed up again...bet we all did to be honest |
| Sumi best girl, or almost best girl. I wonder if Chizuru will go overseas at some point and that will have a big impact on Kazuya. Fuck Mami as well, I wonder what she's going to do next episode. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Sumi-chan is so cute! Despite very few dialogue! Even voiced by Takahashi, Rie!! Damn, it's almost over! But we all know what comes next! Let's do this! |
| Of course renting out another girl would backfire.., and it just had to be Mami who found out. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Mami is like that ex that refuses to disappear, hovering around like a pesky fly (although figuratively that makes me the shit). Rather fucking ironically, Kazuya is technically closer to getting together with her than ever before. She's obsessed that someone she left behind got on with his life and seems like he's better off without her, which drives her insane. But really you should never want someone like that back, more often than not it will end badly. In any case, Sumi is a new character. But they've introduced her at a point now where she's not going to get much development. Maybe next season, who knows? |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Goodness, Rental Komi-San backed by Rie is just way too powerful. Could have been best girl if Chizuru didn't exist. |
 |
| PROTECC SUMI AT ALL COSTS AAAAAAAAA. That matane AAAAAA cuteness meter off the charts |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| So Sumi is clearly a horrible rental girlfriend with her social anxiety. But I'm actually more interested in Mami now, thanks to Sumi she found Chizuru online, oh boy! |
| Sumi is cute & all, but dating her seemed so hectic! I think he should confess his feelings to Chizuru and see where it goes. It's better to get shot down than to drag things out. I think Chizuru quitting the rental GF job is a positive thing & a sign to make a move! |
| The date was super cute. As usual Mami-chan sucks. Only becomes interested in MC after seeing him with other girls. Sigh |
 |
| Its so cute how Sumi-chan did everything to try to stop Mami-chan its like she instinctively knew she was bad news from the start. |
 |
| After binge-watching so many episodes, I gotta say, if either Kazuya or Mizuhara were normal, this whole story wouldn't have progressed at all. I mean, sure, there are real women out there who splurge on men, but I just can't wrap my head around why Kazuya is so obsessed with Mizuhara. It's like right from the start, it's all about her looks. But what's really weird is how he was still hung up on Mami, and then BOOM, suddenly he's caught up with Mizuhara in a whirlwind of coincidences, and all thoughts of Mami just vanish into thin air. In real life, a guy like Kazuya would've probably ended up with Ruka-chan or Sumi-chan by now, no doubt about it. But hey, this is anime world, anything goes… |
