| Somehow Sumi, the girl with the least amount of speaking lines among the main cast became relevant again. Episode is filled with shenanigans but it was annoying to hear all of Kazuya's thoughts every second. This felt somewhat like a 'date' I guess? Not impressed from what I saw but hey, Sumi is happy. I'm also seeing some power ranger gimmicks being thrown into this epsiode. |

| this episode was really entertaining! Kazuya learned from Sumi that saying your feelings to another person is the best BirthPres, but, well... not in his case though lol that plum (idk how to say Umeboshi in English) is really sour like his feeling, so he did a nice job... until he like mentioned in the letter "I swear to God I didn't do it with Ruka-chan!" bro, you Don't write those kinda things... YOU SAY THEM IN THE MOST SERIOUS VOICE YOU CAN MAKE! (at least that's what I'll do though) しらんけど Anyway, that was a really good episode, Sumi is cute as HELL! But oh! what a coincidence! MIZUHARA is the Renta-Hero Pink! I thought from that point that the best present for Chizuru is to take her to a Stage where an actual actors who are well known in the industry are playing there, and to give her more hope that she can succeed as an actress! I just love how kazuya manages between all the 3 girls in his life... hm? Mami? what is that? is it Tasty? 9/10 |
| Great episode! Sumi appears again! It's sad that the manga based on her (Kanojo Hitorishimasu has gone on hiatus though...) Any Sumi is great to see after all! (Don't have much else to say apart from praise Sumi this time for some reason xD) Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Why Sumi is sooooo cute. Sumi-chan x Komi-san when?????? |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Even though their date was a bit lackluster, it was great seeing Komi Sumi again. Anyways, Kazuya following Chizuru back to her room while holding the trash was the real highlight of this episode. |
 |
| This episode made me love kanokari season 2 even more especially since it came after the ruka episode which was worse than average. With the return of cumi my lust for her returned and now I want to fap to her even more than before. Also the abscense of every other major character besides kazuya made the experience even better. Thanks for that episode I appreciate these episodes to the fullest. |

| Today on Rent-A-Girlfriend: Sumi Can't Communicate or Sumi-san wa, Comyushou desu. Sumi is best girl. Anyway, it's a episode of rent-a-girlfriend, so... yeah. We can sh*t on Rent-A-Girlfriend all we want, but we gotta admit that the animation holds up compared to some other anime airing this season.   |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
DrBalls said: I'll never understand what the point of other girls is in this series. Kazuya clearly loves Chizuru, so what do the other 3 offer to the series? Sure, if Kazuya didn't love Chizuru, and we had an actual harem with no clear winner, then yeah it would make sense to have more girls. But again that isn't the case here. It just seems like a way for the author to prolong the series as much as possible to make more money. It's understandable, but from a viewers pov, it's also completely pointless and tiresome to watch. Especially in episodes that feature Sumi, the long pauses are unbearable. Um, I never thought about it that way since I thought this was a harem. But since you mentioned it, I just realized that you're right. Since this isn't a harem, and Kazuya already made his choice, Chizuru, having the other girls just bloat up the story until its conclusion when they get completely massacred when Kazuya doesn't choose them. With that thought, it makes Kazuya seem even more horrible than cringe since he's leading them on, just to hurt them later, especially in the case of Ruka. |

| Sumi chan finally getting some screen time after all this time, nice |
 |
| Sumi is so cute and also she wants to help him to find a gift for Mizuhara birthday. This episode was a lot of thoughts of Kazuya a little too much xD.Mizuhara was happy to receive umeboshi haha. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Episodes without Mami and ruka are so ass, man. I did appreciate seeing Sumi take some initiative and actually help out Kazuya. Could not have imagined her doing that last season. Also thought it was cute how she took note of kazuya’s birthday and I’m sure she’ll have him a nice gift after seeing how thoughtful he can be for others. |
 |
| Even in casual clothing Chizuru's still cute. Despite what she thinks Ruka's words back then did hurt her quite a bit. Its nice to see Sumi again. As cute as ever too. But its nice to see how show some initiative when she was trying to help Kazu in finding the perfect present. Chizuru taking the time to bring joy to kids despite her hectic schedule really shows well her determination and kindness. Still Sumi finding the courage to ask for Kazu's birthday was a great first step for her bravo girl. My that was such a indirect method of getting that present to Chizuru. But in the end im glad that Kazu did end up picking something for her. A little simple but as Sumi said its the sentiment that counts. |

| So indeed, Kazuya's risque night with Ruka got found out by Mizuhara, shouldn't be a surprise there. And she is the type not to hear excuses, which leaves Kazuya egged. But there is a catch: her birthday, and knowing what she wants is a tough job. So, thankfully there's Best Girl Sumi to come help him. Sumi is ostensibly dressed for the occasion, and though she is still blushing, she's not the unconfident girl we've seen her throughout Season 1, which is a vast improvement. Kazuya is just shameless trying to ask Sumi, but it's the only way, and despite being a rental girlfriend, she's doing all she can to help the helpless MC. Sumi is being Komi this episode to lead Kazuya along...to a kids show, and lo and behold, Mizuhara has to be there as well. I just love the small jabs they're giving themselves, like "Rent-a-Fighter", haha WTH? Sumi is as close to being the perfect girlfriend, but sad that she's no more than just a tool for help. Sumi would feel so wasted for someone like him, even getting to know the simpleton's birthday. Instead, Kazuya's birthday gift to Mizuhara: a box of pickled plums, plus a sincere note of apology. Already missing Sumi too soon and gone... |
 |
| Not that I'm asking for any realism in a show that has rentable girlfriends, but Chizuru should be able to decline or accept any customer she chooses, not just "work for hire". An uber driver can decline a request to be picked up. Chizuru should be able to see Kazuya's request to hire her, and swipe left. Poor Sumi though, she was still blowing on her cappuccino or whatever to cool it down, not even having taken a sip of it yet, and Kazuya is already urging them to go on to the next spot. :( Also was it just me or could you count the number of shots where characters AREN'T blushing on one hand? I mean it's nothing new, but man the effect blush usually gives has certainly lost its effect by now All things considered, I think Kazuya silently delivering his gift and message to Chizuru was a step in the right direction. Inb4 he takes 2 steps back by the next episode probably as usual |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| We get a Sumi episode since Chizuru is interested in speaking to Kazuya after finding out that Ruka stayed at his place. Kazuya decides to rent Sumi after running into her while deciding on what to get for Chizuru's birthday. Sumi suggest that presents should be sentimental which lead to Kazuya silently giving Chizuru a box of sweets at her door step. |
 |
| Sumi is so cute in this episode! Kind of feels like a Komi-san episode, like she also write texts instead of just saying out. The last birthday present scene is really nice. |
 |
| Sumi best girl as always. It's a damn shame she appears so little. |
 |
| Bearable episode for some reason and that's something really unusual in this series. Though can't help but again scratch my head how these girls developed even the slightest speck of feelings for this loser, like even for anime standards it isn't believable. |
 |
| Not gonna like I actually really liked this episode a lot. There wasn’t as much nonsense as previous weeks honestly. Also Sumi being there makes it 10x better and we had tons of cute Sumi scenes again, who doesn’t love that. Probably the best episode this season so far. |
| Sumi was adorable not gonna lie Actually a solid episode? Unbeliavable. It was quite cute both with the Sumi scenes and with Kazuya getting a gift for Chizuru.

| it was just great best |

TheKingTaika said: I know a lot of people are gonna hate on this and every other episode coz it’s rent a girlfriend but in reality it’s entertaining and that entertainment factor just increases every episode. Although hearing kazuya a thoughts every second wasn’t great he is the main character so it’s gonna focus on him and his point of view. Solid 8/10 episode Also sumi was cute af in this episode This show is so entertaining, why people are hating it, I don't understand. 10 seconds into this episode I already started laughing, it's just good stuff and production values are also high. |
| Kazuya "But I kept it in my pants with Ruka," bro you jacked off in the shower thinking about Ruka. You are such a manipulative liar. Quite girl has returned and she is by far the best character in this show. You know why, because she has barely any lines so she can't say anything stupid. However she seems to like Kazuya probably because she is innocent and he is her first love. |
| I’m with a lot of others in rejoicing for a Sumi focused episode, damn this was so good, Sumi isn’t necessarily my favorite but she’s on the way there if we get more Sumi greatness like this. She was incredibly cute the whole date, definitely kinda reminds me of Komi-san with how she barely talks, but it just makes her all the cuter lol, I got a lot of screenshots needless to say thanks to all her expressions. Of course the point tho was to find out what Mizuhara would want for her birthday, which let to seeing her perform in a live hero show for kids, I really do love seeing her act just like Kazuya. And wow, loved that moment when Sumi stopped Kazuya and asked what his birthday is, incredibly cute paired with her reaction afterward. And I loved the final bit where Mizhara found her present outside, it was wholesome like I expected. This was one of those episodes where I’m reminded why I love this show, I just absolutely disagree with all the hate for it, this is without a doubt one of the funnest shows to watch and a favorite Romcom of mine for sure. |
| I LOVE SUMI. SUMI IS THE BEST. |

It's easy what they have to offer, actually having other character interactions. This would be so fucking boring with only Chizuru and Kazuya, and I know because it has happened in the manga. You can just put girls to have more cute girls for the sake of whatever even, like, touch any popular romcom where the pairing is clear since the beggining, that doesn't stop them from having more girls in love or not in love of the MC. |
| This idiot seriously couldn't come up with a freaking gift other than freaking plums... something that actually has to do with acting maybe like even a notebook so she could remember him every now and again.. seriously not the brightest guy around but i think we know this. Anyways sumi super cute and ruka still worst girl imo hahahahaha! Hopefully we get some more quality time with best girl chizu next week! |
