| Well, the show is back to its origins again by focusing much more on Kazuya and Mizuhara. It's a 'rental date' but still full of awkward moments and oogling from Kauzya. Their date actually had cute moments but Kazuya needs to keep his pants on. Dude looks like he was fighting his inner urges every minute. |

Only NOW nearly reaching the 300's is he showing glimpses of progress. I won't go into specific details why though, you enjoy this moment while you can and pray for an anime original ending. 218 must never see the light of day in animation form. That would kill the franchise in anime format. |

| Great episode, with some really cute moments! I like how the characters develop and their relationship too, and I really hope they get together one day. |
| A new episode has dropped. Kazuya wants a date with Chizuru wearing school uniforms. The entire episode was basically the rental date with Kazuya and Chizuru wearing school uniforms. I guess that's his fetish or something. Anyway, it's a rental of a girlfriend episode, so.... But still, I really wonder who's going to get those photos. Worse care scenario, the photos SOMEHOW find themselves to Mami. |
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. |

The best ending is one where the series stops at the movie arc. |

| It took bro a full year to cop a tit smh |
 |
| Not enough Mami or ruka. 1/10 episode. This loser kazuya books up chizuru for months at a time and didn’t even put in effort to plan what to do on the actual dates? Dude can’t even sit in a Ferris wheel across from a woman without having a panic attack. Bro you’re 21 years old. Dude can’t even be around a woman without ogling her. You’ve known chizuru like a year at this point, be an actual human being. And people get mad at mami/call her trash for leaving this loser. |
 |
| While Ruka's actions were a result of her anger towards Kazu's nature its good to see she capable of reflecting upon it. Nice to see Chizu go up in rank as well. Being able to earn more is a great thing. Hmm the high school role play package huh. Chizu's still able to rock that look easy. Still at least Kazu had plans this time. But Chizu being able to stay professional despite the situation really shows her skill. But despite everything the role of rental GF is indeed a field that offers a unique opportunity to learn and grow as a person. Though Kazu licked out on the photo booth one's at least he managed to get a memento from the date. |

| So apparently this episode got outsourced to Pine Jam which is surprising cause it didn't really look bad at all. |
 |
| Eh felt like a rehashed episode, nothing new.. feels like its on a loop lolz |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Indirect kiss Turned a kabedon into a grope. heh the preview, Ruka mad cuz seifuku is her gimmick |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| For some reason this episode feels like he just start renting for the first time, but it seems like a big chapter is coming up. |
 |
| Loved the Kaiji reference |
 |
| Whenever Kazuya gets overexcited about Chizuru, he alway turns into the biggest idiot lol. What’s he gonna ask for since he’s paying extra? Oh, it’s just Chizuru in a schoolgirl uniform. My guy reliving his youthful high school days lol. The doofus even got to engage in some hardcore hand holding AND share a churro. Score! Haha. But man, Kazuya’s sacred relics! Noooo! Well, at least he got the ferris wheel picture so there’s that. Chizuru really is a pro, but the moments where even she got embarrassed were actually kind of cute. Kazuya actually managed to act like a normal person at the end of that date lol. Anyways, I’m glad Chizuru’s gotten another part in a play, looking forward to seeing what happens with that. And ofc, as usual fuck Mami. This bitch really gonna go after Kazuya’s family? She needs to go! |
| seems like we're back to normal again. Kazuya & Chizuru is the main focus but goddamn Kazuya keep your pants on lmfao. there were cute moments but 95% was like we expected. Also man is scared to sit in a ferris wheel with a girl, starts ogling her and whatnot and gets all embarrassed while she does all the talking lol, you're 21, you've been renting her for 1+ year now and yet you're still embarrassed, thought he would've at least gotten used to it being around her smh. |

| Great episode! Seems Kazuya actually felt better when Ruka went that far talking to Mami last time. Mizuhara went up a rank on the rental girlfriend service! But the price also went up an extra thousand yen... He books her anyway of course and she meets him in school uniform! (As Kazuya requested). But it is too deadly of a combination for Kazuya! He holds out his hand but doesn't have the confidence to ask her to hold it so she takes it xD. Next he wants to share food with each other... He says he doesn't want one so buys her it and is waiting for her to ask if he wants a bite... They run into Sumii and Mizuhara makes Kazuya hide with her. Mizuhara chooses the couple option in the photo booth but it even asks them to hug... She acts as if she isn't bothered but she is embarassed from it lol. And then it asks them to kiss passionately! Nice dodge from Mizuhara using her hands there! They have to go quickly as she sees students in the uniform she is wearing... They go on the ferris wheel and luckily Mizuhara starts up a conversation... But he accidentally grabs her OPPAI when the carriage shakes! Of course Kazuya buys the photo! Looking forward to the next episode! |

| I really appreciate Chizuru taking pride in her work and being glad of people who improve as a result of those dates. Kazuya on the other hand, as usual, acting as a way for the author to project.

|
| The Rent A Girlfriend OST is very underrated and its the best part of the show. |
 |
| Kazuya has gone on how many rental dates at this point? You'd think he would get used to it at some point. |
| The episode was so fucking cringy I had to stop a couple times to try to forget. |
Second best girl. I love both tho. |
|
But Ruka is after Kazuya though... |
|
| Enjoyed the episode it brought me back to the more enjoyable parts of season 1. Despite Kazuya being a total weirdo about everything, Mizuhara was a champ in being a good "girlfriend." I did a small gasp when Kazuya touched the boob, then promptly said mmh hmm when Mizuhara slapped him. Yep that's some classic rom-com harem stuff. |
| This was mostly a fun date with Mizuhara in a school uniform and I gotta say, I loved it lol. Kazuya was rightfully on cloud 9 and also way more anxious lol, she puts off a different vibe but also keeps that Mizuhara style. Of course there were a few close calls with Sumi and those school girls but it was mostly a funny and wholesome time. I especially liked that final Farris Wheel bit, got a real talk with Mizuhara about how it is being a rental girlfriend and an accident boob grab which Kazuya somehow missed lol. And I’m glad Kazuya got his picture with Mizuhara, the goofy expressions he’s making in the pics is relatable for sure. |
| School uniform thing kinda weird to me, plenty of predicable scenes here too. That being said i'm always glad to see more Mizuhara |
| There were a lot of still shots, and poorly animated scenes. But surprisingly there aren't overused flashbacks, unlike previous episodes. They tried to fit in everything so the ending had to be removed. Although Kazuyas inner monologue about his perversion and Mizuharas dress gets annoying and repetitive. It was a bit hilarious with the awkward situations happening. |

| Honestly, this just felt like a filler episode. I thought that it was going to focus on the Mami drama, but it didnt sadly. And I dont see the point of the redhair girl anymore. |
| Another awesome episode. But boy was this episode a freaking rollercoaster of emotions. It really took Kazuya more than a year to come out with a date plan. That was a great date plan to be honest. It's every dude's dream to go out with their gf in highschool and our poor boy Kazuya couldn't get that so here we are on this highschool cosplay date. It weird how they both looked like they were really highschoolers. This was another very intense episode for me, there were comedic and cringe moments too but at times I found myself staring at screen holding my breath. But I think it's about time they stopped showing Kazuya all worked up just at the sight of Mizuhara, it happens literally everytime he sees her, I mean he's been seeing her for more than a year at this point, you would think something would change. Last episode I was complaining about the utter and complete lack of Kazuya and Mizuhara and this time we got a WHOLE episode dedicated to just them, I'm happy. As weird and cringe some people might find it to see Kazuya asking to hold hands, expecting Mizuhara to share her that stick thing whatever but I think it's nice Kazuya got to experience these things at last, one could argue though that it was superficial but not completely in my opinion, it was real for Kazuya and that's all that matters. The hug part was so intense lol and I didn't really expect Mizuahara to go through with it but but but look at this  YES YES YES YES. Quoting Mizuhara, "It's no big deal unless you get all worked up for it". And the image doesn't lie, hell yeah. But to be honest we can never know what was the reason for the blush, it could be because she was just hugged by a boy or it could be because she was hugged by Kazuya. If I remember it correctly, this blush is the same hig-intensity blush Mizuhara did at the end of Season 1 episode 12 after Kazuya's "confession", remember how she was all red and went like "baaka." I want to think this means something, I HOPE IT MEANS SOMETHING. Though it was funny to see how hard Mizuhara was trying to look all unbothered and cool with everything when clearly that wasn't the case. Her sheer amount of work in putting up a "I-don't-care poker face" was funny to watch. That last "kiss" pic came out so good man but too bad he didn't get to keep that one. He got another one though, good for him. The whole photo-booth part was really intense but the boob part in the ferris wheel oh boy, I instinctively held by breath, that's how intense it was. She sure is really professional though, going back to as if nothing happend after that scene was something impressive. The genuine conversation after that scene was really great to watch though and one of the best part of this epsiode. That was a good conversation with no awkwardness or embarassment or cringe or nervousness. Mizuhara telling Kazuya she got another play is just cherry on top for ending the date. Kazuya looked genuinely happy for her, it was good to see. Not a better sight than Kazuya being able to hold Mizuhara's hand casually without almost dying of nervousness, our boy has grown, hasn't he? Great fucking episode. 5/5. Next episode: Kiss and Girlfriend (*screaming noises*) |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Awkward and painful. Kazuya has like 0 testosterone. There's no reason for him not to be with Ruka, who actually likes him. I did laugh when he slipped in the ferris wheel and grabbed her chest. I know it's a cliche, but it makes me laugh. I hope Mizuhara doesn't end up with Kazuya. It's too unrealistic. Aesethyr said: This Kazuya is just becoming worst and worst as a simp. Man just upped his spending just to date Mizuhara. 😅 When Mizuhara said "I am just so happy when my clients have found a real GF after renting me for long" should have struck Kazuya to the core to finally settle for a real GF but then the thought just wont bump to his head. 😆 But then I still keep on watching this no matter how annoyed I get. 😅 Yep correct on all counts. |
 |
| Ruka sure went on a blazing fire against Mami, but it's not like Kazuya has feelings for her anymore, and thankfully things are back to normal. Though Mizuhara has been promoted leaves a sigh of relief that for 1000 yen/hr more, he's able to support her that comes with more benefits...such as requesting Mizuhara to dress in her school uniform, the dream of all youth hopefuls for a date. Kazuya's sure got a date plan ready, his (High School) Dream Date to satisfy his own pleasure of having a girlfriend with Mizuhara being the ideal partner that there's no point hiding from her. Except...if there's other people knowing about it like Sumi, it'd be a freaking disaster. From the food tasting to the photo booth (BTW love the Kaiji "Zawa Zawa" reference though), Kazuya's literally on Cloud Nine doing all the couple poses with Mizuhara, being the point of overthinking. Ending with the typical Ferris wheel ride, Mizuhara has been very level-headed and patient with Kazuya all the way, except that the simp's heart has been burning all the way. Though hearing about Mizuhara's experience of being a rental girfriend gives an idea of how girls like her are meant to be like while playing pretend girlfriend, motivates her to do her work to her very best, now with the theater job that's replacing her current work. As for Kazuya, earn more money to spend on her. |
 |
| Props for Kazuya trying to send it this episode, like with the outfits and him deciding where to go. That photo booth scene was something else, with them hugging it out and Mizuhara blushing. Even though he didn't get those pictures, I'm glad he got one in the end. Although the episode was good, and it was nice to see them going on a date again, it felt like they were repeating stuff, like when Kazuya was talking to Mizuhara at the Ferris wheel and then telling her that it must be rough being a rental girlfriend. It seems strange how he's still asking those kinds of questions and being like he is around Mizuhara after idk how much time them spending time together. |
| This is probably the worst, cringiest and most boring episode/pay date.... yet |
