| I'm confused, I've seen the main girl in another anime I'm sure of it. She just seems way too familiar instead of a new character. Maybe it's a generic anime face idk. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| i thought i was gonna hate this after the blondie B* but the main girl is adorbs :D |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |

Argument of it being manga and not real life doesn't stand because manga is set in realistic world, as in without fantasy/scifi elements. |
| Is there a reason there is no average score for this anime yet despite having already aired? |

| We’re off to a good start, we’ll see how it progresses. |

| A pretty funny first episode with likeable characters, decent worldbuilding and adeptly choreographed pacing; this will probably be fun |

| I like the premise and all, but in the long run I might wanna prefer to check out the manga. And the reason for that is the annoying background music. |
| I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of this anime, I’m looking forward to the rest! |

| Seems decent enough to follow, but for the life of me I can't stand the fact that every romcom does this "beauty in an 'ugly' form"-thing that this, too, seems to be going for. The exact same haircut and glasses, even. If you absolutely have to go that route, at least come up with a better mask for her beauty than braids and lenses. |
| uh oh! |
| What a fucking simp cringelord cucked by a 6" tall + dégradé I should have seen it coming when looking at the synopsis. It's actually hilarious to laugh at this guy, I have no complaints, I just hope there are strong BROS in this show and not just waifu pandering, 5toubon and DomeKano shippers can off themselves already and not transformed this into a "who's best girl" shitfest. Is there any other reason to watch this show than the seiyus honestly ? They just put their best actresses in the industry I couldn't miss that, gimme some Aqua some Shimarin some Mash and some Madoka, gimme more, cannot unhear Aqua in Chizuru mostly. |
That's the bait right there, just seiyuu's. Like hell am I gonna miss some Aqua, Megumin action. |

RegulusX said: Ahh. What a nice change of pace. Lol they really add the horny thoughts of Kazuya. That bed scene the heck. So Grandma Sayuri and Grandama Kinoshita was bestfriend. What a twist. Horie and Amamiya did a good job for voicing the main characters. Man. Chizuru is way too gorgeous. Anyway, I like the animation and characters designs. Soundtracks was not too good. Overall, it was a decent episode. Fun and awkwardly enjoyable. Next episode we'll have more twist to come. Character Introduced: Chizuru, Kazuya, Sayuri, Nagomi, Kuribayashi, Mami, Kibe  P.S.: Man. Stark really beat me P.P.S.: Fact: Ichinose is better than Mizuhura yeah great change of pace, useless characters and MC thats dumb as a brick only MAL’s masochists enjoys this shit |
| I did have some expectations, being like "Yeah this seems to have some potential let's have a look". But wow it surpassed my expectations and by far: I'm now super hyped. I found the whole episode really enjoyable, even scenes that I would've considered as too much and "forced" in some other anime (like the one under the blanket) were straight forward and were really fun more than fan-service looking. I found the pace of the episode to be really good. I did not get bored at all and we ended up with an episode that could even be a standalone : a mark of quality. The art direction seems really decent (aside of the soundtracks, but I'm not expecting much from for this type of anime), the art & animations are enjoyable. I'm really waiting for the next episodes. My only fear is now that the show falls into the usual flaws of the genre by becoming a standard harem with an uninteresting MC surrounded for unknown reasons by nice gurls :v |
 |
| wow this might be the worst thing ever made |
| Oh, this thing got adapted huh? I remember hate-reading this years ago. Got to like chapt. 90 (the latest chapter that was translated at the time). Some of the comedy was legit funny, the drama was decently written and the art was really good, but I just couldn't help but absolutely loathe both main characters. I only remember very few things of the plot, so I couldn't spoil it to anime only people even if I wanted to. But I do remember that I hated the MC for being a spineless wimp and the the main heroine for being a lying, greedy b. Maybe I catch up with the manga to see if they have become any less insufferable. I don't think I'll watch this, this was cringe enough just rushing through the pages, I don't think I can handle the second-hand embarrassment of actually watching this animated.

The manga will go through a lot of effort (and completely fail, as far as I'm concerned) to somehow make the two main characters likable and pair them together. There are going to be other female characters (aka waifus), but they are obviously not getting anywhere, the MC is cuck for Chizuru only. No other main male characters. I don't consider any of this spoiler, a single click on the manga's character page will tell you the no other main males part, and the manga is advertising the main pair form like page one. |

| Disappointed in the amount of ecchi🤢 that's what I personally found to be the worst part.. the rest was rather cute and funny. I might check out the next ep, but ugh, putting the characters into funny sex positions while fully clothed and talking to their grandma was not for me.. |
  |
| I'm usually not that good with these kinds of shows and the first episode was full of cringe, but the base premise is kind of interesting and the MCs are alright. High production value too Not sure why there's so many posters whinging about the MC, he is definitely a dumb romcom MC but at least looks and acts social enough and seems more bearable than loads and loads of others in his brethren. |
| Kazuya had it though ^^; The girlfriend is a cutie, until she revealed her true colors that is. Coincidence enough, that the "girlfriend" frequents the same school as him? And the timing of his comment with the friends was so bad it hurts just to watch Chizuru there XD Nice start! And next episode will be a brawl between Girlfriend vs. Ex-Girlfriend? Drama coming! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Mmmmmmmmmmmm, what |
| Kazuya is a simp, lol, but I somewhat empathize with what he is going through. For some reason, sassy Chizuru > the formal, fake self she is during dates. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Agggh it's so awkward it's so cringe it's so inauthentic I was curling up in my chair during the entirety of the episode even though the characters are interesting, even though the plot is original, i can't |

Except for the source they decided to adapt........... Oh well, at least it'll be somewhat worth watching solely for the animation and seeiyus |

| Looks fun. The female lead has spirit. A fine contrast to her rental girlfriend persona. |
| Well, I did not expect this show to be this good! I originally wasn't going to pick this up, mainly based on the title "Rent-a-Girlfriend" and the bad harem like cover picture made this show look pretty trashy and generic. I only decided to give this a go after seeing a gif from the series and I'm glad I did! So far, this show is actually good! |
| What a start! It was insane, so much destruction for Kazuya in just a single episode xD Now the interesting part begins. From what i understood he's 20 y.o and went to University, so yeah i do get why his family is like that xD The first episode is one of the best overall from this season! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Man, the cringe was real in this episode. Don't remember the last time an anime made me cringe that much. I also had a couple of chuckles too sooo... I guess that's good for now? |
 |
| Chizuru is so cute. Although I want to know something about this industry in this anime, the plot development seems to be a romance anime. I heard that Kazuya's character was very bad, and it is true. It is expected that Kazuya will grow up later. Chizuru is very dedicated (after all, there is scoring mechanism, and for her a frequent visitor is a cash machine). Kazuya's grandmother do keep up with the times. Even when she was hospitalized she asked if there was WiFi. And she is also open-minded (asked the two if they……). Kazuya's transformation is estimated to be a few episodes later. Just focusing on Chizuru in the previous episodes is OK…… |

| bruh he's super-rich 5000 yen an hour is like what 50USD |
| When I read the synopsis for this anime, I thought to myself "wth, this sounds like next level cringe". Regardless, I though I could give the first episode a chance, just as I do with most seasonals. Well, it is cringe as I expected, can't deny, but it's also funny as hell, and this first episode was wonderfully executed. No, seriously. Even if all other areas fail, at least the direction (and at least for this first episode) was worth it. There are many other animes who fail at even that, so I felt obliged to make this clear here. The first episode managed to convey a feel for the series and managed to get me hooked, which is exactly what first episodes are designed for. |
Awkward episode but entertaining. I love the bombshell geek look with huge glasses and ponytails, never fails. MC is typical otaku loser, I don't know how this will play out but it doesn't look pretty. |
 |
| Nice and funny ;d but the story is not original, once I read manga with similar set up, but the girl job was different. |
| (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 ;) |
