    Not What I Expected

    Plot: this is where this anime lacks. This season seamed a sort of an introduction that leads the characters to find their feelings. The point around witch this story spins is very weak.

    Animation: The best part along the drawings. Very well done and smooth. A lot of compliments!

    Drawings: The best part along the animation! They are very well done, defined and easy to follow. Moreover the choice of the colour is stunning (or at least I found it very amusing). Tons of compliments!

    Conclusions: the technical side of this anime is literally high level but it really lacks in the plot with a lot of back and forth and some absurd or nonsense scenes. Chizuru is the only grown up here. I expected more moral stuff about using girls as rental or something like that, but at the and girls are quite depicted as objects.

    A wonderful anime

    "Absolutely loved Rent-a-Girlfriend!

    The characters are so full of life, and the emotional rollercoaster kept me hooked till the very end. The mix of romance, comedy, and drama is just perfect. Every season made me feel something new, and I can't wait for Season 4!

    Highly recommended for anyone who loves emotional yet funny romantic anime."I didn't like the first 4 or 5 episodes, but The next episodes are so good. I like the anime so much that I can't explain it. I want season 4 of this. In the end, I just want to say that anime is amazing, and I love it. Best Anime !!!! Amazing story, lovable characters, perfect mix of romance and comedy. Waiting eagerly for Season 4 !!

    Funny Anime But The End Was Not Clear

    The was Really Not Clear And Up To The Mark Would Need 2nd Season fot it
    8alexmccaskill-53690

    Really great, but underlyingly sad.

    I think the anime itself is awesome, but the fact that Japan actually has these is very sad. Japan isn't exactly the best place in the world, along with the birth rates it just makes me kinda sad.

    MC is annoying af

    The MC is dog. He was given so many opportunities to get the hot chick. But he crumbles up like a little baby. But it was still a good anime lmao. Apart from the MC.
