Rent-a-Girlfriend Deets
Reiji “the GOAT” Miyajima authors and illustrates the Rent-a-Girlfriend manga. Weekly Shonen Magazine (Kodansha) has serialized the harem-esque rom-com since July 2017. Since then, Kodansha has bundled the manga into a mind-boggling 46 volumes. And I’m so confident that all those volumes will get adapted that I’d bet one of those sparkly new FAKKU doujins.
In 2020, Reiji-san launched a spin-off manga, Rent-A-(Really Shy!)-Girlfriend via Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket. Kodansha USA publishes the English version of both manga. TMS Entertainment has adapted Rent-a-Girlfriend into five TV anime seasons, all of which are available on Crunchyroll.
Synopsis
Most people have had a breakup that was scarring. But where the sensible among us turn to the bottle or a tub of ice cream and the director’s cut of Lord of the Rings, Kazuya Kinoshita turned to compensated dating. (Which is a vivid reminder that Japan is living in the 22nd century.) Yet despite his first rental date with a girl named Chizuru being the epitome of perfection, Kazuya feels displeased. To him, the experience was so perfect it was as fake as an Alibaba anime figure. So, he leaves a negative review on the beautiful Chizuru’s profile. However, how could he have known that an unprompted act of pettiness would end up trapping him and Chizuru in a prolonged pretend relationship? But the more the two pretend to love each other, the more actual love wiggles its way into their lives.
