The backgrounds are pretty basic due to school, street, restaurant settings (-3). Thus, I want to give a +1 for the innovative story setup.

But, the term for “rental girlfriend” was first introduced to me through this manga back in the end of 2017.

*It is a classical harem and the story is still going smoothly with the same amount of blushes~ Since it is a normal romance comedy, I decided to give it an 8 in the past. Know what? He will continue on to learn from his experience and man up ) The sixth chapter is the moment when you can make your judgment about Kazuya being “Real” pathetic or “Not really” pathetic. Each new manga always tries to develop its core characters in order to have a story to tell!! For this particular manga. But, having read so many volumes of manga. Yes, in the beginning, Kazuya can be perceived as pathetic. The reason why six chapters instead of five is because it is the first time that we can see why this particular main male character’s (Kinoshita Kazuya) In fact, readers should decide after reading the first SIX chapters. (*After a year, this manga is still pretty decent, and the Mangaka is actually a genius in his own way.)Īfter reading the reviews on this page so far, I STRONGLY DISAGREE with the fact that you should reject this manga with first five chapters. Having read through 25 chapters of this manga, I think you should give this manga a shot. Slightly Ecchi/ Rental Girlfriend(s)/ RomCom If you are the type of guy who would punch your best friend in the face for telling you to get over your ex - who everyone (including you) knows is a 2-faced bitch - then you might enjoy this manga. Only the art counts towards this, really. Anyone with the least bit of self-esteem would find it impossible to relate to the MC in any way.Įnjoyment: 2/10. For a story and characters built around such an MC, how others managed to cope with his crap never fails to amaze me every chapter. Calling the MC a piece of shit would be over-complimenting him, this guy makes Yuuki Rito and the senpai from Don’t Bully Me, Nagatoro look like the manliest characters on Earth. The reason I gave this double the score I should have, is solely because of Kibe. Story cannot be good if the characters are not up to par. I would have given a 7 if male characters other than the MC did not look like corrugated sketches that were disposed of by the editor. Story: 4/10, I’m being generous here, since this has the Shounen tag and all, but overall nothing tasteful or worth noticing, and the story progresses in the most riduculous ways.Īrt: 6/10, this depends a lot on everyone’s taste, I think the girls are nicely drawn, details are good enough. My first ever review on MAL, I decided to let it be for this manga because I would feel pretty damn guilty if I had not. Unable to tell her the truth, Kazuya and Chizuru are forced into a fake relationship-acting as if they are truly lovers. At that very moment, Kazuya receives news of his grandmother's collapse and is forced to bring Chizuru along with him to the hospital.Īlthough 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. Angry at her client's disrespect towards her, Chizuru reveals her true nature: sassy and temperamental, the complete opposite of Kazuya's first impression. 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. At first, Chizuru Mizuhara seems to be the perfect girl with everything he could possibly ask for: great looks and a cute, caring personality. EditSynopsis 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.
