| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That event will never be forgotten, lol. Fighting between men is scary, Grandma wants to get out of the hospital and that's not good news, at least Chizuru just wants to say thank you, Kazuya is real gentleman. Eehhhh ... That ticket brought bad luck, Chizuru didn't plan to commit suicide right? It seems like Kazuya fainted but the sinking isn't Chizuru? Next Onsen  |
| The flashback of wimpy-ass Kazuya with the sexiest toxic girl alive, Mami. It's clear as day that the girl is playing with his feelings of lust. Still in the beach mood, and Kazuya's grandma is STILL wimping at his attempts, while recovering and ready to be discharged...well, is it time to reveal of keep the truth hidden? (Glad that they kept the Pocky scene OUT from the anime) The same clique of friends may be friends, but the interests of Kazuya, good that his friend Kibe shone the truth of light against his very eyes. To announce the breakup to his friends first, at least he made it clear of his "manliness", to which Chizuru acknowledged in her true colors. I like Kibe this episode, because his confrontation with Chizuru, he spoke like a true friend and someone who's been with Kazuya, something like a childhood friend, and all those memories of him being stupidly stupid and not so popular with the ladies. He's a true respected wingman, I highly approve. With the cat out of the bag, the pretense between both is no longer needed, and the rental girlfriend status is nullified between each other. Chizuru's seasickness and unconscious dive into the ocean, truly shows where Kazuya's heart leans towards. She may be a rental girlfriend, but the potential is there for her to be a LEGIT girlfriend. Next episode, meeting with Grandma in the hot springs, how will that turn out? |

| That fight on the beach though... I mean, Kazuya tries to act tough here but looks like a fool to me. This beach episode still had a lot of fan service but Kazuya makes everything look very awkward with his insufferable personality. This idea in his head about climbing the stairs to adulthood made the episode kinda laughable. Looks like there's actually some slight background storytelling about Kibe. I actually find him more likable than Kazuya. |
 |
| One more week and another episode of KanoOkarishimasu.. The beach arc continues and now we have... the same Kazuya acting like a fool (actually his problems are because of him I guess) Meanwhile, Kibe show he is a true friend facing Chizuru about her feelings. Good episode altough Kazuya is really stressful Waiting for the next one! |
| Idc idc , man. Mami just hit different. I kinda stan. https://imgur.com/a/f34swId Kazu’s best friend is a genuine friend. Type of real ass people you really need in your life who aren’t afraid to tell you when you’re messing up and literally beat your ass onto the right path. Really liked this episode, you can tell Chizuru’s impressions of Kazu are starting to change both from spending time with him, and Kibe’s story about their childhood. Next week is gonna be quite funny I can already tell with him having to save Chizuru and then the arrangement he had with mami. I’m probably in the minority of people who don’t mind the MC. |
 |
| big up kibe in this ep man was sptting facts |
 |
| Hmm so thats how Kazuya and Mami met back then. I can see why Kazu fell for her so easily. The words that Kibe said as he punched him though sure was the optimal ones. Still at least its a good first step for Kazu. The talk between Kibe and Chizuru though sure was fun and rather frank. Still it shows just how much Kazu's friends look out for him. That dive of Kazu's sure was a dramatic way to end the ep while also simultaneously pushing Mami away. Looks like the fever finally got to Chizuru then. Overall an excellent ep that did well to progress the story while also slowly fleshing out the relationship between Kazu and Chizuru. Still not sure on what Mami's plan is though. |

| Kibe being a true bro this episode. Chizuru was feeling sick throughout entire episode, the movements of that boat must have accelerated it. Also kuzuya showing some balls and jumped straight after her to save her. Hot-zuru  Next ep's gonna be interesting especially with two grannies. |
 |
| That flashback definitely provided some necessary context for the Kazuya and Mami's prior relationship. No wonder the guy was so broken up about it - as far as I could tell, he was awkward but genuine and her actions were indistinguishable from genuine affection. Kazuya may be naive and weak-willed, but he isn't a complete moron. Kazuya also moves forward and has some manly moments this episode as well. He gets the gumption to admit the nature of his relationship with Chizuru, in front of his friends no less. He takes some pain from his friends, who are honestly looking out for him, but at least gets some validation from Chizuru. Eavesdropping is admittedly not something you should do, but I definitely enjoyed the story about his childhood. We also get to end on the manly moment of Kazuya jumping to save Chizuru (though from the preview I have my doubts about his real ability to help.) At any rate, I'm of the opinion that the reason Kazuya is so hated is because he isn't the type of main character people want to project themselves onto. Thank goodness for that, I say; we need some main characters that, like all of humanity, are "[made] a little lower than the angels." |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
He jumped to save her that was actually cute. |
| Bruh I'm still confused as why she fell off the ship tho |
  |
| Okay, after binging the first 4 eps I totally get why people feel Kazuya is so insufferable. Man that guy is a real pain to watch.. Tbh I kinda like Chizuru a bit. She's extremely clichéd, but alright ig. Even tho I hate such people, I kinda like seeing Mami on-screen lol. Shit's always gonna go down when she's around |
| can’t believe rent a girlfriend has made me cry. what a true bro |
| Find a wingman like Kibe-kun and you will be happy with your life. What a great man, a real wingman. Top wingman. Even Barney Stinson would be jealous. A real hero. The grandma is doing "classic" old people things again hehe...she is the best grandma. Falling off the ship was quite unexpected...but let's see what we will get next Friday! |
 |
| Kibe is the kind of guy the mc lucky to have as a friend. He beat some sense into the MC and even dare to put Mami in a tight spot with her wrong doing. He get a big thumb up from me. Also, grandma spent too much on gacha. 30,000 yen on a banner...why not stay f2p? lol I thought Ruka would appear in this ep, I'm hoping to her see Ruka next episode. ziovice said: Bruh I'm still confused as why she fell off the ship tho She had a fever the whole time. She even said she had cold. The boat rock as shown in the episode. So it's pretty obvious. |

| Kibe jumping straight into best bro tier after this episode, holy shit Kazuya, you can't ask for a better friend. Hurts to see that Kazuya needed a kiss from Mami giving him false hopes about them dating again to finally tell people about breaking up with Chizuru... and after that talk by Kibe to her I don't want to think how this bro would feel if he discovered the truth. I have to say I feel pretty impressed by seeing Kazuya jumping to the sea without doubting it a second in order to rescue Chizuru, completely ignoring Mami's call in the process. Man he's such a character, for the best and for the worst. |
 |
| idk that ending seemed like such a forced cliffhanger for no reason. But Kibe was really spitting some facts imo, i'm glad someone pointed the situation out with the 3 of them |
| excited for next week, it looks like we'll get the |
 |
| Kibe. Now that's a man who a girl can respect and develop feelings for. |

LaceyKuroki said: idk that ending seemed like such a forced cliffhanger for no reason. But Kibe was really spitting some facts imo, i'm glad someone pointed the situation out with the 3 of them Well with the build up from Kibe we get to see that when shit hits the fan MC is at his noblest self. Which is what a lot of people want to see consider how terrible he has been since the start of the show. Not to mention with all this going on he will probably forget about maimi for the time being. |
ziovice said: Bruh I'm still confused as why she fell off the ship tho She'd been complaining throughout the episode about not feeling too well. Add in a spot of seasickness and I assume she got close to the railing to maybe throw up? |

SurvivedEndless8 said: After hating Kazuya and Mami with so much passion through the first three episodes I binged the manga up to the latest chapter. Right here is when it actually starts getting good, so I'm actually excited for the series now. Great adaptation too, but I think the soundtrack makes Kazuya seem scummier than he actually is. Does Kibe get some screen-time in the manga too? Or is he just there for the sake of the story? Cuz, I'm starting to respect his character. |
| Kibe is the friend that you definitely need to search for in your life. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| kibe from just one episode is way more likeable than the male mc. i'm glad he's there watching over kazuya. he really must care about him. the way chizuru fell and kazuya didn't even think to save her. finally he's doing something for her. |
| Kazuya development report: He took not just the first step to being a decent human, but also a decent man by finally putting Mizuhara before Mami and also acting without hesitation to save her. Congrats Kazu! Kibe is the ideal best friend; he doesn't hold back when telling Kazu he's being an asshole & he looks out for him without needing or wanting to be thanked. I was so glad when he called Mami out for leading Kazuya on |
 |
| Thank you Kibe for punching Kazu on our behalf. He truly deserved it. The fall was very cliche. I saw it coming the moment they stepped on the boat. Thankfully, the best granny is coming to rescue next episode. Every scene with her is pure joy. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Kibe is an ideal best friend. That guy didn't pull any punches. The other episodes were hard to watch but this was a good episode tbh. Kazuya jumping to save Chizuru at the end with the cliffhanger. He finally redeemed himself. They better not show him being useless in saving tho, that would suck. |
 |
| Man, I don't know if reading the manga will hinder or increase my anticipation of this anime. These cliffhangers tho... |
| Didn't dislike the mc before this episode, but today I could even appreciate him. He made all the decisions he was supposed to lmao, I hope at least some people's opinion of him changes because like it or not, he is more realistic a character than most in terms of flaws. Ik it's frustrating to watch somebody not behave how you'd want them to behave in a show but it is what is is man, sometimes we can have a heavily flawed mc, but as long as he's good at heart and trying to do the right thing, he has my respect. Team Kazuya ikuzo |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| I can't believe Kazuya FINALLY decided to man up, for real, I was already sick of him lying all the time. Big props to Kibe though, you gotta appreciate friends like him irl. Good episode overall, we got to know a little bit of the backstory of both Kazuya and Mami. When Chizuru got the tickets to the ferry I really believed she was actually going to give Kazuya a chance but she still wanted to break up with him. I know, he's a simp but I think he deserves her. I love her so much<3  |
 |
| Kibe is the hero kazuya needs but doesn't deserve. This show is a fucking dumpster fire and i'm loving every second of it. |
 |
| ok, it was a good ep 8/10 omg I hate so much this mc |
 |
| It was a strong start and horny asf but then... things got annoying asf. Especially when the weak beta kept reiterating the same thing over and over again.. ffs.. And then it went full retard when mizu fell off the boat. Like I hope she dies.. if you don't feel good why the fuck would you walk to the edge of a fucking boat? this is beyond retarded but yeah first half was good. |
 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. |
| Finally, some god damn development. Jesus Chirst, I was losing my hope for this anime and this protagonist. Kibe is best bro. When he punched Kazuya it felt so good. I couldn't feel much better. Best scene of the entire anime. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Kazuya has shown a slightly better side of him in this episode! But still he's not likeable! Kibe on the other hand! Atleast Kazuya had the guts to say that he and Chizuru are "breaking up", that caused quite the stir, one I didn't expect! Was quite an entertaining episode! Chizuru is still cute as fuck, holy shit! That cliffhanger though!!! |
 |
| Kibe best boy this ep made me hate Kazuya a bit less. I still find him annoying and too much of a simp but maybe once he realizes Mami is playing him like a fiddle he'll get some development Mizuhara was clearly sick, I'm glad Kazuya didn't hesitate before diving to save her |
| This is my favorite dumpster fire anime of the season and I'm not even joking at this point. Kazuya is utter trash, Kibe is the MVP friend you truly deserves and Chizuru, well, she rakes just on loads of money. |
