Synopsis

Dumped by his girlfriend, emotionally shattered college student Kazuya Kinoshita attempts to appease the void in his heart through a rental girlfriend from a mobile app. At first, Chizuru Mizuhara seems to be the perfect girl with everything he could possibly ask for: great looks and a cute, caring personality.

Upon seeing mixed opinions on her profile after their first date, and still tormented by his previous relationship, Kazuya believes that Chizuru is just playing around with the hearts of men and leaves her a negative rating. Angry at her client's disrespect towards her, Chizuru reveals her true nature: sassy and temperamental, the complete opposite of Kazuya's first impression. At that very moment, Kazuya receives news of his grandmother's collapse and is forced to bring Chizuru along with him to the hospital.

Although it turns out to be nothing serious, his grandmother is ecstatic that Kazuya has finally found a serious girlfriend, which had always been her wish. Unable to tell her the truth, Kazuya and Chizuru are forced into a fake relationship—acting as if they are truly lovers.

I want to make a case for the protagonist, Kazuya Kinoshita.
I analyzed his character and I wanted to share it with you guys:

Kazuya is a heavily misunderstood protagonist. Hes actually peak writing. IMO hes the best written anime/manga, and he is above Joe Yabuki, Reinhard, Johan Liebert etc etc. Yk, in most cases I do agree that writing is subjective, but not with Kazuya. Kazuya is objectively the best written anime/manga character, and possibly even the best written character in all of fiction.

Development:

One critique I hear many people say is that when he gets development, he just returns to his former self really quickly. ...

Preliminary (296/? eps)
There is tons of other reviews that will lend insight into whether this is for you or not. My best way for you to decide is: "Would you watch a train wreck happen every week?" This manga feels exactly like that for me. If you see an ambulance or a crash and are hyper focused on that while you driving, this manga is for you. It is a mess through and through with the MC. I was drawn by the premise, and truly stayed to watch the mess unfold. The MC hate is very justifiable, but for some reason I just cannot look away from ...

"Rent-a-Girlfriend? More Like Rent-a-Waste-of-Time"

If you ever wondered what it’s like to watch a 20-minute anime episode that feels like 3 hours of emotional constipation, Rent-a-Girlfriend is the masterclass in mediocrity you've been dreading. This series takes all the worst tropes of romantic comedy — indecisive protagonist, repetitive misunderstandings, paper-thin side characters — and stretches them thinner than Kazuya’s self-respect (which, to be clear, is buried somewhere below sea level).

Let’s talk about Kazuya, the human embodiment of secondhand embarrassment. Watching him stumble through life with the emotional maturity of a damp napkin is less endearing and more infuriating. Every time you think he might grow a ...
