It’s not hated by “The community”. It’s controversial with a loud segment hating it but plenty others liking it. It’s still at 7/10 despite some serious down voting.

It’s no Oscar winner but plenty of people want to see how things turn out so I suspect it’s selling/streaming just fine. No one is expecting it to be the next JJK or Hells Paradise. I didn’t love it but I enjoyed the ride and will watch season 3. Someone probably has sales or broadcast #s out there that shows it making a profit. Despite all the cringe 😬

I’d say it’s more of a show that people love to hate. If you ever look through the Crunchyroll comments it’s 90% “Jesus Christ that was cringy I hate this…well see you next week”

Exacly because of the hate everyone says it's the worse thing they seen that is cringe and unreal yet they aways end up watching and reading everything they post and taking about it which gets attention from people that want to see if it truly is that bad and end up watching up

Because the might of the Rent-a-Nation is infinite. RISE THE FUCK UP RENT-A-BROS!!!!



Jokes aside, I’m still surprised at how much people underestimate this series’ success. I mean, I’ve seen some people argue that the popularity of the show is mostly due to hate watchers, which I disagree with, but even so, that wouldn’t explain the massive success of the manga. As weird as hate watchers may be, I guarantee the majority of them aren’t weird enough to consistently buy the physical volumes for a manga that they hate.

So nah. Rent-a-Girlfriend is just popular. Very popular. Cry about it if you want to, but it sure as hell isn’t gonna change anything. If anything, it’ll only provide MORE ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE GLORIOUS RENT-A-NATION!!! PRAISE BE TO KAZUYA!!!

I was being sarcastic with you. You made an incredibly stupid post. You asked a question that requested explanation and then proceeded to give a superficial answer from the opposing side. Your post literally served no purpose.

I mean it’s honestly not horrible. I guess the premise is pretty stupid. But it’s pretty funny and it has some likeable characters.

It even has a yellow trash bag which talks with the main character.

Pretty much this. It's entertaining AF and has high production value as well. Though people will ignore this fact and will say : BuT ItS CrINGE HOw cAN IT GeT ANOTHEr SEason, it'S ImPossible. Kazuyya is not a great MC at all, but what's the most cringe in reality , is people desperately trying to stay relevant and validate their comical life filled with cartoons by joining a hate-wagon with no semblance of thought put into the decision.

you forgot one thing Japan is cuck nation and this story had few Cuck scenes so ofc this popular lol. Look how many NTR selling in Japan. This show started with mc thinking about his ex gf having sex with another guy, that's what we call cuck mc

Yea I don’t understand it I stopped watching halfway through season 1. Based on the premise alone, I just can’t understand/relate to the story of a man being so stupid that he pays a woman to spend time with him. I guess there are probably a couple people in the world that have payed a woman money to fake a relationship with them but an entire show based around the most pathetic dude to ever exist has never been on my radar. It really came as a surprise to find out they are making a season 3 (I’m assuming they made a season 2 at some point?)

Sales drive everything, it doesn’t matter how much people whine on internet forums as long as it’s lucrative. Plus a lot of people end up hate-watching it anyway (myself included).

People take this way too seriously. Do you watch Tom & Jerry hoping that the cat eventually learns from his mistakes and catches the mouse? Rental Girlfriend is about cringe misunderstandings getting amplified to peak hilarity.

Honestly, up to this arc that they will adapt in S3, it really isn't THAT bad. It's after this where the manga really starts to get shit.
