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. ...

Year 2024 and 322 chapters in:
- Stunning art. Sweet romcom.
- Starts of strong but after 120ish chapters it reeeeally slows down in the relationship progression. If it had kept a decent pace I would score it way higher.

1 year later and 63 chapters later:
- I cannot imagine spending money on a manga, which chapters barely moves anything ahead. I am reading this for free however, so I can consider it a VERY slow burn romance. Even with this consideration in mind, the pacing of the manga is just horrendous. Fx Komi Can't Communicate is also a slow burn romance, that dragged on. But at ...

Honestly, I applaud anyone that could get through more than I could. I have faith that the ML develops at some point (perhaps its blind faith) but sitting through this is torture. Male lead is so creepy and pervy- wildly manipulative and the entire plot is essentially just him trying to take advantage and getting the wrong ideas about a girl thats just trying to do a job. The only redeeming quality is the FL. She's adorable in and out of her rental girlfriend style and her character seems very easy to like. I just can't get past this absolute problem of a male lead.
