AAAA SUMI OS SO ADORABLE (>///<) She's so innocent and so sweet it's giving me diabetes! But she's also so determined to improve herself. Definitely a girl to protect!

Ok... The biggest threat imaginable has been re-introduced into the story. Now that Kazuya has 3 other girls and Mami know of the existence of rental-girlfriends. This is bound to get a hell lot more complicated! Aahhh... If only Kazuya just shut his mouth up and not reveal the real name just as he did with Chizuru being Mizuhara. Mami would not have found out.

Now that Mami knows of this fact, she decided to rent up Chizuru huh... Fuck fuck fuck that bitch.

Dang can anyone get this girlfriend renting service even if they're an old man... REEEEEEE yes this is anime by no means does anything have to be realistic but hot dam each rental girlfriend really needs a bodyguard or something trailing them in secret in case anything goes wrong, which would make it safe but also weird for the rental couple aaaahhhh this is brightly colored fun anime but it's gotta make you a bit uncomfortable sometimes...!!!

also there's an over-reliance on blush, I hate when a character's blushing for 90% of the time, you gotta SAVE that shit for the moments that really matter man (an extreme nitpick I know), and ALSO the amount of kazuya sweat we get could fill a freaking swimming pool. And I want an alpha male character for some comic relief from this comically-atrocious attempt at humor... and man all the deception is painful, all the misunderstandings are supposed to be a part of the humor but it falls flat... can we have even a little bit of transparency here.

This may or not be a plot hole (not that this anime actually has any good plot to begin with), but in a world that has the service of renting girlfriends, you have to assume that not every couple you see is actually a couple. You have to consider the possibility that they are a rental. But mami, and others, go straight to assuming kazuya's got an actual girlfriend. Maybe think twice when rental girlfriends are thing and you happen to see a loser with a hot chick? Yeah I'm overanalyzing for an anime of this low a caliber, but come on you can give us a fun light hearted anime and also not include dumb character writing... like is kazuya's bucktoothed friend (forgot his name) really that weak of a character that he can't see mizuhara with another guy even though he knows full well that she's a rental like wtf

Mami and her bro tho let's have some yosuga no sora because why not

Despite all that I'm still (for the most part) having fun watching this tho. Mizuhara is like the anti-tsundere tsundere triple s tier waifu with a heart of gold. Give her a man she deserves like damn. Anyway, mainly just watching this cause I felt like watching a new popular anime from this year

From the English subs it seems Chizuru was expecting a guy, as Maya can be a name for a boy and a girl. Besides, the Rental Girlfriend service doesn't allow anything besides holding hands, so the company policy probably doesn't object to girls renting a girlfriend, because there is no intimate activities involved anyway. It's more like providing company, and playing whatever the client wants, as long as it's within the job policy.

Decent episode, btw, hard to dislike Sumi. Mami clearly has feelings for Kazuya, because she's hurt to see him with another girl. Still wondering who "you-know-who" could be.

Sumi's cute and all, but I was totally fixated on Mami-chan's appearance in this episode.

She obviously is in some sort of business or pact or something of the like with her brother and "you-know-who," which I speculate to be the reason for her loss in faith in love. We saw that she only wants to date whomever is convenient and that she has an uncanny leaning towards Kazuya now that she thinks that he's a player. It's sad, really, and it shows her warped view of love and relationships.

I'm very excited to see that Mami-chan found out about the whole rental girlfriend thing. Will it change her view of Kazuya? Will she lose interest, or will she be more inclined to manipulate him? I'm looking forward to the answers.

I'm curious too. Was she just looking for excitement, as there is a scene where she's sitting in a luxury car with someone, but she says she's bored? Was Kazuya a means of escape from some situation? Maybe she's stuck in some marriage arrangement, and dating someone else seemed like a way out? But why then break up with Kazuya and after that, realize she can't really let him go? She didn't plan for that, it seems.

Or is she simply a 'bad egg' and totally fake? I feel there is more to it, but we don't get any real answers. Either the mangaka himself isn't sure what to do with Mami, or he intended to just keep her around as a character to pop up every now and then, stir up things, and then hide in the shadows for a while.

As far as I understand, we only saw single guys on the show before, because all anime lesbians are cute sexy girls, lol?

oh wow ngl i actually liked this episode a bit more then the last few. Sumi's character is understandable and cute, she actually has a reason to be doing the job, although a bit weird as there are probably other alternatives to overcoming being shy and timid, that don't involve practically selling your self, but non the less she's got character.

I actually like Kazuya when he isn't constantly emptying 9mm rounds into his feat at any given point, and is actually being helpful, taking the initiative. Although it did feel like his interaction with mami weighed down to luck that i could of gone worse, i think when he's taking the lead he actually turns out decent.

I swear the only reason mami is still in this plot, is so she can spark drama in this story, and i'm 100% ok with that, cus rn drama in the plot is probably the only thing that's gonna keep me hook- oh there's only 1 episode left.

Chizuru actually nice in retrospect, good looking, confident and she's voiced by you Amamiya hehe.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Sumi best girl, or almost best girl. I wonder if Chizuru will go overseas at some point and that will have a big impact on Kazuya. Fuck Mami as well, I wonder what she's going to do next episode.

I am kind of understanding the purpose of Mami's character now. It's like Kazuya is forced to make decisions when Mami messes the status quo. Though i think the show still hasn't told us why exactly is Mami so obsessed with this guy. That scene of Mami in her home was kind of interesting considering we never get much info abt Mami except that she's his ex.

Maybe shes just a hoe, maybe there is something more to it and with one more episode to go for the end of s1, i am looking forward to how the next episode will be.

This show is dumb enough for me to keep up with it while exams are approaching and i am enjoying it so far. Lessgoo

Of course renting out another girl would backfire.., and it just had to be Mami who found out.

Omg lol. Kazuya screwed up big time by revealing Sumi's name. I guess he didn't really have much of choice in the situation though. But Mami is so evil and petty in her jealousy. She didn't want Kazuya in the first place. So why is she even bothering snooping around in her ex's romances?

Mami is like that ex that refuses to disappear, hovering around like a pesky fly (although figuratively that makes me the shit).

Rather fucking ironically, Kazuya is technically closer to getting together with her than ever before. She's obsessed that someone she left behind got on with his life and seems like he's better off without her, which drives her insane. But really you should never want someone like that back, more often than not it will end badly.

In any case, Sumi is a new character. But they've introduced her at a point now where she's not going to get much development. Maybe next season, who knows?
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Sumi is cute & all, but dating her seemed so hectic!
I think he should confess his feelings to Chizuru and see where it goes. It's better to get shot down than to drag things out.
I think Chizuru quitting the rental GF job is a positive thing & a sign to make a move!

After binge-watching so many episodes, I gotta say, if either Kazuya or Mizuhara were normal, this whole story wouldn't have progressed at all. I mean, sure, there are real women out there who splurge on men, but I just can't wrap my head around why Kazuya is so obsessed with Mizuhara. It's like right from the start, it's all about her looks. But what's really weird is how he was still hung up on Mami, and then BOOM, suddenly he's caught up with Mizuhara in a whirlwind of coincidences, and all thoughts of Mami just vanish into thin air.

In real life, a guy like Kazuya would've probably ended up with Ruka-chan or Sumi-chan by now, no doubt about it. But hey, this is anime world, anything goes…

OH MY DAYS x 3. So first of all our boi managed to help a ting and stood up 2 3 guys for her respect. Mami is actually a witch she is always everywhere. 2nd of all Mizu is about to move on since her career is finally taking off happy for her. This also means our boi is losing the love of his life in tough times. NOW THOUGH THAT MENEANCE MAMI KNOWS THE TRUTH THAT SHE IS A RENTAL GIRLFRIEND. When she was so close to finally escaping. This is genuinely peak times. Mami needs to die.
