Even if during the whole episode, Kazuya was having a hard time forgetting his pulsions, which I understand can be cringe and afraid a lot of people, I keep watching this anime because, deeply, what he wants is the best for Mizuhara, so, in depth, he's a good person, and I like how supportive he is regarding Mizuhara.

There were some cutes scene during this episode, even if it was a little bit too focus on Kazuya fightning himself which ruins a little these sweet moments.

Mizuhara have been very calm and professionnal during the date, but I like the fact that at the end of the date, she talk about her actress dream, because she knows that Kazuya mind about that. This show that Mizuhara don't see Kazuya just as a client, but she also keep in mind that she knows that he wants to support her and she appreciates this support.

I really like this kind of scenes and that's why I don't understand why there is so much hate toward this anime.

People who don't like it should just stop watching it, instead of keeping watching it to just critic it.

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.

wait you're telling me that this can get even worse?

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.

This anime/manga isn't going anywhere. It feels like the author is just milking its popularity. On top of that, I know criticisms towards the MC are tiring but I cannot understand how anyone puts up with him. Him having a harem isn't believable even for anime standards and Mizuhara is so out of his league. I hope he ends up with Ruka to be honest, it just makes more sense but with the way the story is going, it seems like the author is dead-set on a Kazuya and Mizuhara ending.

Was a fun episode. lssue was I feel like we've already had this kind of episode in season one. But I guess this episode was a little different because he was more "Greedy". Very shippable episode tbh

Ok I got a bone to pick with the rent a girlfriend army. RENT A GF SUCKS ASSS!!!! Come at me you rent a gf lovers. Kazuya is the worst Mc of all time. Man jerks off to his ex, rents girlfriends and has to get a job so he can keep renting Chizuru, blushes over every fuckin thing, can’t confess, doesn’t know how to talk to any girl, doesn’t learn shit, doesn’t have a brain, a terrible friend (to kibe). This list can go for ever. Y’all rent a girlfriend lover prob have only 4 brain cells. Also don’t even think about roasting my favorites cause that just mean you think rent a gf sucks too. Fuck you, have a great rest of your Beautiful day.

So far, season two brings into anime all the greatest moments in the manga. Ruka's stay overnight, the drinking party, the uniform-date and now we're gonna see Ruka's meltdown next week haha...

I cannot believe we had to wait two years for this season, though. The manga is still so farther ahead... it's a popular story - they could expedient it a little.

I actually enjoyed this episode after getting somewhat bored with Kazuya's constant crying in the previous one.

I thought it was significant Chizuru mentioned that she was being too loose with her Acting mode turned off. It was also nice to see how happy the MC was for her at the end and they looked comfortable together as they headed home.

All that being said, it appears that the Manga readers think that my optimism in the series taking a turn for the better is misplaced.

I don't know why peple say this was a cringe episode, sure it has cringe moments like making focus on Kazuya's crocth (that was probably the worse moment of the episode), but it wasn't that bad. I actually laughed at how cliche it was when he grabbed Chizuru's breast. Nothing out of normal episode, it was just your normal rental date here.

Oh wow, I'm not even a fan of the series, I have the manga in 2/10 even, but I always love to see how people hate this series so much that they go of their way to insult fans of this series for being, well, a fan of a series, I'll always wonder what is so wrong with liking a series even if it is a trashy one. Besides, where is the Rent a Girlfriend army? I barely see fans of the series since they can't say they like the series without being made fun of, all I see is hate whenever the series is talked about or not, so yeah, I actually wonder where are the fans of this series.

Also, Kazuya is definitely not the worst MC of all time, there are far worst out there, but yeah, he is reeally bad, not really going to defend him.

Finally the question that I wanted to be asked for so long was finally answered when Kazuya asks Chizuru about what happens when she gets hired for some creepy pervert for a date. I thought we were going to go down a road of reveals of showing how despite how unrealistic this dating service is, that all the technicalities were all covered. Like maybe how each girl would have a panic button on her, or how very thorough background checks would be performed on anyone signing up for the platform, having all your personal data stored on your profile so you wouldn't even dream of trying to abuse one of the girls- similar to Uber drivers are probably safer off than taxi drivers since instead of picking just anyone off the streets via nothing more than a phone call, Uber has a profile of each rider so that they will be much less inclined to try anything. Or what I really was hoping for, that each girl actually has an agent shadowing them at all times from a distance ensuring their safety.

But more importantly to add on to the possible conversation other than those technicalities, I was hoping Chizuru would open up to say that she did actually have significant incidents in the past where people actually tried to take advantage of her. Perhaps she would go on to say that despite having rather traumatic events happen to her, she would say that was still the best way to make money for her in order to be able to pursue her dreams. She would keep pressing on throughout any potential harassment with her dream of a career in acting at her focus.

Instead though she kind of just shrugs it off, stating that she actually never once had such an incident before. That's good and all, but there would've been room to delve much deeper if that hadn't been the case. But of course it's just wrong to expect anything truly substantial from this show. Guess we'll just have to be barely satisfied with Chizuru being an s-tier waifu as usual, with the gigachad Kazuya non-stop blushing and sweating profusely every second he's around her.

He ain't gonna change anytime soon trust me, in fact THIS is Kazuya at his peak in the manga.

He will actually grow to become even WORSE and more incel-like after this for a good 100+ chaps.

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.


i kinda hope they adapt it..

I'll be honest I also kind of want to see the rage the anime only fans would get if they show that scene uncut.

Oh boy another classic date between a beautiful (highschool cosplaying) Mizuhara and the dilly-dallying (oh my god his head is about to blow) Kazuya.

It was an okay date minus an ill-fated photo collage that our boy did not get and Kazuya holding Chizuru's oppai, how nice.

But hey glad that Kazuya is genuinely supporting when Chizuru is about to get a new role. Also my girl, what are those emotions you're showing here and there?!!

Is Chizuru only playing her role in this date?

How can this Kazuya guy be this awkward btw, he even already knows Chizuru for quite a while. Sure, Japan is a little more conservative than western countries but the way he reacts to sharing food, hugging or sitting next to each other is a bit over the top...

Then again, I may just not understand east-asian culture well enough...

I think I am losing interest in this anime. It is still ok to watch to kill time, but I dislike the girls, Chizuru is likeable, at least not so rotten as real girls, but I dislike girls who are only about money/sell herself for money...
on the other side it is good that this anime shows sad true about how bad girls are in current times... finding a normal, modest and pretty girl is harder than winning on lottery, because all are already taken or hidden ;d

Makoto from School Days is far worse than whatever Kazuya can ever hope to be, besides from Makoto's father who also have a series of visual novels and he is also even worse than Makoto. There are other characters that I definitely dislike a lot so hard to even drop the series like Izayoi from Mondaiji, but this second one I would say it is more a taste of mine since apaprently a lot of people like him for whatever reason.

Yes, because he is an absolute shithead too, so I don't really see any kind of appeal to Izayoi.
