I found Kanojo, Okarishimasu, one day when I was scrolling through Manga rock looking for a new romance manga to read. After reading a few chapters, I was hooked. Mainly because it explored an idea in which I have not even thought before reading this manga. The idea of having a "rental girlfriend". Therefore when I began reading this manga, I found it quite interesting.

Likes: I quite liked the development of the main character's personality and his thoughts throughout the manga. In addition, I also quite like his "rental girlfriend"'s personality which is completely opposite to him, highlighting their specific traits and characteristics making ... it very enjoyable to read. The main characters simply acted as a foil for each other which I found the writer doing it very effectively.

Dislikes: Although there are many good ideas and concepts in this manga, I sometimes found this manga's storyline to be very generic. This is mainly because of the generic and unoriginal side characters. Although the main characters are great, the side characters I find, lack development and unique characteristics thus making the manga to seem to lack originality.

Conclusion: There is no doubt this is a good manga with an interesting concept/idea and a great main character development. However, it would be better with the side character's development being more emphasized and allowing them to have unique, never seen before, characteristics as right now the plot is leaning towards a quite cliche romance manga.
Nevertheless, if you have spare time and looking for a good romance manga to read, I would recommend definitely.

Here's my story:

One day I decided to watch Domestic Girlfriend the anime as it was on Crunchyroll and I just got hooked. Due to the fact it was still airing weekly at that time, I decided to move onto the manga.

And my god was it worth it.

I think I caught up to the most recent chapter at that time in just about 2 days because it was so addictive. Even though the story does drag out to the point where I felt like I was wasting time reading it, but the writer still manages to surprise at certain points after the first 100 chapters. ... I just love how the writer explores the theme of forbidden romance, especially for the first 100 chapter, I literally cried rivers and rivers of this manga. It was so emotional, it literally caused me to question life itself.

However, after those chapters, it deviated from that theme and moved on, touching on it at certain points. Not saying I don't enjoy the rest, but if you are going to read a manga based purely on this theme and nothing else, definitely read the first 100 chapters. After that, you can decide for yourself.

I thoroughly and truly enjoyed it as I normally watch animes rather than reading mangas.

Side note: Definitely read the manga before watching the anime as the anime misses quite a lot of content the manga has.
