| easily the best episode of this season. we were made to face kazuya's real feelings towards chizuru, most of us knew them all along but now it is laid bare for the viewers who are a little slow to catch on. it was my deepest wish for chizuru to get comfortable enough and trust kazuya enough to hug him and have a breakdown all since that episode when her obachan was diagnosed and it finally came true. that scene got me a little teary-eyed but also made me incredibly happy because of the progress they've made. you don't get vulnerable like that in front of just anyone especially not a woman like chizuru. in my books this is tremendous progress. kazuya is just overthinking about that night. he needs to understand that what happened made chizuru feel good, she was holding it in for too long and finally letting everything go must have felt real good which is why she doesn't wanna talk about that night again. also you can see how her smile seemed so much more genuine and cheerful than usual in the post-credit. i'm really happy at the progress they both have made throughout this season. also that ideal girlfriend speech was practically a confession to chizuru and kazuya doesn't even realise that. chizuru realised it most probably which is why she got so red. this single episode elevated my whole season 3 experience by a lot. previous episodes were great but this was on a whole different level. loved every minute of it. kazuya shined a lot in this episode. his inner monologue when they were lightning fireworks in silence post the little sob incident and then his ideal girlfriend speech and then his speech about his real and true feelings for chizuru were so very well done. the VA did a great job in portraying kazuya's emotions and what he was feeling while he was speaking or thinking and the lines themselves fit perfectly. i don't know how anyone can belittle this man who loves so passionately, it is more than love, what he feels for chizuru is rare to find these days. even after so many distractions he has eyes only for one woman. man just needs to work on his personal development- confidence, self-esteem and other stuff and then no one can stop this man from getting chizuru. 15/10 episode. this episode made my day. now my year could be made if i just see a season 4 announcement ;) overall 10/10. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I'm sad that Mami-chan didn't get enough screentime this season but wasn't that Kazuya's grandmother in the end, what was she doing with Mami-chan? |

| Normally, I don't like when KanoKari tries to be serious, but this time I liked it. Second half of the episode was also very nice, thanks again to... Yaemori. She almost carried the whole season on her shoulders. Well, without further ado, Yaemori's appreciation gallery.  |

| Best season ever had one of the best dramatic scenes ever, Mizuhara letting go of her act and crying her heart out brought me to tears as well. 10/10 for the finale. |
| Wow pls end this already. Why do we need another season? Pls write a good ending for this series, it would have been the perfect opportunity. |

| Was going to watch this earlier today, but then I thought: you know what, this might actually be good; let's save it for later, watch it after my shift at work, to have something to look forward to. And what we got was.... yeah, not bad. Still can't give it that thumbs-up score of a 7, but I for one would gladly pat it on the back for actually trying. If this season 3 of rent-a-girlfriend were a person, I'd put my hand on their shoulder and say: "you did quite alright son." If more seasons of this are pumped out in the future, I'm assuming it's just going to get repetitive or straight up go to sh*t, with this movie arc being this series one redeeming factor. And if it does go to sh*t (which overall it is already) as it probably will, let's just be thankful for what we got: one season where we weren't constantly cringing in pain, watching it because it was so bad that it was good, watching a dumpster fire that you just can't look away from..... but instead something that maybe made you smile, or even shed a tear. 6.3/10 edit: only real downside is that we got pretty much no Mami-chan |

| So yea was a good season just I think I've hit my point where I cant take any more of the main character there were multiple points when I thought just fucking hug her for fuck sake you useless piece of garbage if a girl cries on you like that she wants to be hugged, urg its just really frustrating to watch now, its gone beyond him being cringe to the point I think they need to invent a new word or something. Urg not like me to rant lol. anyway I'm done enjoy the future seasons all those who continue. |
 |
| I gave this garbage 2/10 because there are only few animes with this score in my list. |
 |
| Chizuru crying was definitely the best moment of this episode and then it got ruined by the next scene Trash Kazuya whining in his room. bruhh it's like he goes one step foward and then goes backwards three step. How dare the author giving us one hope that things will goes the right direction for this one season. we all know what's coming, it's everyone on Twitter a while ago, if you know you know. 6/10 just for Chizuru storyline. I ABSOLUTELY HATE HUMAN GARBAGE KAZUYA. don't know if i want to continue another season, but maybe i will watch just for that "scene". |

| Wow look nothing really changed even after this surprisingly good movie arc! Who would've thought??? Kazuya really needs to stop overthink things for his own sake, but I guess that's why this series has gone on for so long |

Would've been a 10/10 season, but Mami just decided to show up didn't she..
On their date, under the night sky, Kazuya sees Chizuru tear up while holding sparklers. He ponders their rental dynamic and his own limitations. Memories flood in, prompting Kazuya to express his ideal girlfriend's traits: beauty, kindness, and honesty. He cherishes her vulnerability, even amid strength. Chizuru's tears flow, finding comfort in Kazuya's arms, her grandmother on her mind. Kazuya continues, entranced by her smile and charm, reiterating his admiration for her beauty, kindness, and sincerity.
Kazuya surprised everyone by speaking to her openly and sincerely. This is the right way to support someone in mourning: just be there for them, rather than attempting to uplift their spirits, as that's not how the grieving process works. His words deeply affected her, and as soon as he finished speaking, she felt a newfound trust in him and let her tears flow, mourning both her grandma and grandpa. It was a powerful moment. It felt oddly gratifying to hear Kazuya reaffirm his love for Chizuru, even though he expresses it almost every episode. Nevertheless, Chizuru continues to maintain her strong facade. As always, Kazuya tends to overanalyze things. Nonetheless, it's a relief that Chizuru has come to realize that it's healthier to express her emotions rather than bottle them up. I couldn't shake the feeling that the movie premiere was somewhat underwhelming. Yet, considering the intensity of the preceding episodes, it was probably a wise decision not to add more drama to the event.
Best season of Kanojo, Okarishimasu imo. It only gets worse from here though..

it doesn't the next season mami drops a 10/10 villain performance and they .....( no spoilers )but I promise next season is better
| @daveedgzy06 Yeah, if they maintain this rate of adaptation (like 6 chapters per episode), we'll eventually reach the infamous pool scene. |
 |
| looking forward to the next season! |
 |
| utter waste of time! |
| The QR code on Yaemori's t-shirt is a real one lol it's the QR code of her seiyuu's TikTok |

That was a great ending. Gladfully, Ruka did not ruin anything in this episode. Oh! Mami, you're still alive.
I scanned the QR code on Mini's t-shirt and it turned out to be Serizawa Yuu's Instagram. lol

| It was definitely one of the 3rd seasons of all time |
| Mami-chan dipping for an entire season only to show up right at the end ready to stir the pot is so her. |
 |
| BEST ARC OF KANOJO OKARISHIMASU |
| i can't- mizuhara sobbing made me incredibly sad. also i knew we'd see mami chan sometime this season, thank god she was only in the credits of the last episode. |
         |
| the story focuses on my girl Chizuru. then there is Mini the new character who supports my boy Kazuya. Love this chara. and Ruka the girlfriend, a character who seems quite romantic with Kazuya at some moments. she's also a little crazy. then is Sumi, she is still a rental girlfriend but she is quite a good character, typically shy and brave enough to make Kazuya nosebleed. and finally Mami, there are rarely or even no important scenes in this third season, even though her character is quite popular, nooo, but next season who knows? |

bro I habe vor kurzen alle chapter durchgelesen es hat mich ao enttäuscht, weil das immer hin- und her ist. 6 Stunden hat es gedauert...
mizuhara muss mal jetzt seine gefühle Wahrnehmen
PURE Enttäuschtung ich dachte es gebe ein ende... bei chapter 300
¿Wann kommt chapter 301?
| @MaximoSilva Ich lese es auf Englisch |
 |
| Oh this season was truly surprising. Glad to see my boy Kazuya acting in favor or Chizuru. Their moment before the date conclusion was amazing and emotional. In the end, all the girls show up for a brief peek at their routines and... Mami! Heh can't wait for the next season... |
 |
| Great season! It’s gonna be a long wait now :( I don’t understand why so many people go out of their way to watch 3 seasons of a show they hate and spend even more time to comment on every single episode. Why not watch something you like instead? I know MC is annoyingly spineless but it’s the whole premise of the show. If Kazuya was a confident and assertive young man, he would not have rented a girlfriend and the show would be over immediately. Also Mami-chan has not talked to MC for like a year but somehow is still interested in him? |
| Last two episodes were a let down and I had to lower my score form 10/10 to 9/10 first 9-10 episodes deserve a 10, but the thing that he didn't hug her, the thing that she don't take the lead knowing him and her feelings already and after how much he done for her not only the movie but previous episodes, like saving her life.. I rly dislike all that.. any normal girl would be dating a guy after what happened.. but then also he should rly break up with Ruka few episodes ago.. Maybe fourth season will finally get a 10 from me... Yaemori is the MVP of this season, maybe he should date her ;d I don't get that situation with Kibe, Mami and Nagomi... |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| How glad I am this season is over. |
| A true masterpiece as always. |
 |
| a perfect ending to end the season. this season was great. waiting for season 4. |
My Candies:     |
| That crying scene was pretty good. Could have gone a bit easy on the tears animation; kind of took me out a bit. I'm surprised Mami didn't step in earlier and ruin the movie or somethin'. Seems exactly like something she would do. Though we do have the next season for that. Speaking of which, wouldn't it have been dope if the QR code on Yaemori's shirt led to a Twitter announcement of S4? Might have given it extra points just for that. |
