You don't understand it is not the guy it is the idea of Chizuru in a seductive position. Also why are you here

still pretty fd up, and why im here is because i have watched rent a girlfriend

okay I guess, than why post on this forum it is clear you don't like the show so, I don't know skidaddle, plus your not going to change anyone's minds posting anything here plus your reasoning is quite silly, Kazuya is very real he isn't especially good at anything except having a large heart, that is what makes it fascinating to see him progress and learn what he values for reference I'm a manga reader. Once again Kazuya isn't my favorite character but I understand him, and I think it is cute how much he cares for chizuru, I also like seeing him grow

Sir you are making massive assumptions. Also he is not wrong alot of humans are heartless monsters. Kazuya's only problems are that he has attachment issues, can be overly horny at times, and has a large heart

saying that kazuya is better than 75% human beings is the massive assumption in the first place dumbass. You can't make such a claim without proving it with statistics.

idk about your problems with humans and neither i care about it but, this world is not as small as your neighborhood.

I didn't say that was true, I'm just saying that alot of people are messed up. To me it seems like you need a big dose of reality check. You said that this guy had very little life experience but to me it is the opposite. People are pretty messed up and if kazuya is to messed up in your eyes because he is to horny at times then maybe you need to understand more about this world. Kazuya legitimately pays money to Chizuru for non other reason then to see her succeed. Sure he wants his love to reach her but more than anything he wants her to be happy. This is not my words this is stuff directly said in the Anime and Manga

Edit: Bud the number one Economic system in the world is Capitalism a system built on stepping on others to get ahead we will just say that cruelty of humans is not limited to my 'neighborhood'

I don’t get the hate. Yeah he’s a boring self insert protagonist but he hasn’t done anything appalling like Makoto from School Days or Shou Tucker from FMA.

Because he makes trouble for Chizuru? Well he pays her and he is just a typical 20 year old kid simping for his crush. He never forces her to agree to it.

Because he stays with Ruka despite not being in love with her? She knows he’s not in love with her and he only went out with her because she black maimed him into it.

I just don’t get all the hate.

because he is the biggest virgin to ever virgin... and he still gets more bitches than all the people who watch the show

his possessive, horrible reaction on his first rented date was just terrible. And he's just a bit of a pervert, which the show forces us to see, with a scene of him wanking....its just shit.

He's a terrible simp as well which just isn't fun to watch.

And his lack of backbone is 100% cringe.

Just a badly written, uncomfortable to watch simp. With zero reason to invest in as a character.

Bottom tier character.

ohh so it's normal for a human to fantasize lewd stuff when a girl(sumi S1 reference)licks a ice cream ??? kazuya is just a degenerate c*nt

It might be gross but plenty of men are perverts and get turned on by ridiculous things. As long as he doesn't act on his perversion without consent, I don't think it's such a problem.

in real life that's fine but as a character to watch, it's just not good.

I’m at chapter 261 of the manga so beware of spoilers.

I understand the hate behind Kazuya, he is a loser who keeps lying, crying like a baby and thirsting over girls like a horny rabbit.

That said, we have to recognize that he also have some very kind and reliable sides *spoiler ahead* like when he put his all in order to achieve Chizuru’s dream to appear in a movie for her grandma to see. (Some may debate that he helped her only because he was thirsting over her, but in the manga it is said more than once that he was helping her out because he truly believed in her as an actress and a person, so I don’t think he did all of that just to have something in exchange)

To be honest, I did find a lot of his behaviours annoying, like the constant liyng, crying and making people feel pity for him so he would get some attention. Reading the manga I even got to the point that I would skip the pages where he would just cry about Mizuhara because I found them so boring and annoying.

We would all like him to always be the honest, reliable and kind main character like in most romances, but I believe that the way Kazuya is characterized is meant for him to be a loser who doesn’t know how to even speak to girls properly, let alone getting in a relationship with one. (Sorry English is not my first language, I hope you get what I’m trying to say).

And this is exactly why I believe he is a pretty relatable character. We all like the cool, hero-like protagonists but we all know that in real life most of us are losers like Kazuya, who keep fantasizing over our crushes, crying over stupid things and (this is for males) feeling horny even in when you feel like you shouldn’t.

In conclusion, the reason why I feel Kazuya is so hated is because he is horny a loser with low self confidence and everyone, who’s watching a series to escape from the negatives of real life, would like to see a protagonist with positive traits and not someone who is the embodiment of the sorrows of the real world.

For anime watchers, I have to say that Kazuya gains a lot of points after the movie ark, so I would tell you to keep going, but I feel like this series is way too long and having to deal with this annoying loser for so much can prove a hard challenge (again, I started skipping the pages where he just cried like a bitch because they really started to get on my nerves).

He has some pretty good sides and I’m hoping on some good character development that will bring them to light so that he gains some confidence and stops being a lying crybaby who’s desperate for the attention of the people that pity him. I’m too far in the series to just drop it, so I’ll keep going hoping for the best.

Thanks for reading me, sorry again for my english, I hope the things I said make sense. It’s the first time I make a post about my thoughts on something, I hope you appreciate it. Much love <3

seems like you were abandoned by your parents

and YOUR statement applies on yourself only....and by saying he is better than 75% of the rest doesn't make the 75% population evil....he is just better in heart and that's it

well try to use your BRAIN before making a comment Or else you will also be left by people who is still with you...and I doubt if there is any

He's a walking bruh moment. He lets his ex talk shit about him in front of an entire group of friends and doesn't call her out on how she's a dirty little binge. The rental gf stands up for him and walks out and he doesn't go after her. Like mofo it doesn't matter if she's a rental or not, if your girl walks out then you go after her. Even his friends were begging him to go after her. I thought it wouldn't get any worse but ho ho boi I just had to go and read the manga.

I hate Kazuya because he’s such a pathetic protagonist. His only redeeming quality is his “love”. I don’t understand how anyone could like a worthless simp who can’t get laid so he pays a fake prostitute to date him…. That’s bad enough, but he becomes even more unbearable when he gets jealous of other dudes doing the same thing he’s doing… KAZUYA IS JEALOUS OVER A GIRL WHO DOES COMPENSATED DATING! Yeah, he’s the typical romcom protagonist from any given anime, but he has way more flaws than positive aspects. Maybe he’d be more bearable if he had a set of morals or an IQ that was above double digits. In typical harem fashion, he surrounds himself with girls but can’t simply choose 1 even though he’s worthy of none. TLDR: He’s an undeserving wuss/simp with low self esteem.

He isn't really that great of an MC, he has some clear character flaws, but not any that make him interesting or relatable in my opinion. He is kind of just your run of the mill pervy ecchi MC.

that being said, there are way worse ones out there. I dont think he's necessarily as bad as people make him out to be, but more than anything just completely unoriginal and forgettable.

I think people over-exaggerate. He isn't a perfect character. But at the same time, relatable? I mean no idea. Do I care about role models/relatable characters. No. Should they always be. I mean maybe but not always. I mean any situations can be a sign to 'you yourself' if they are suitable or not. If people can't that's on them then others as people.

If the show bothers people then don't watch it. Bottom Tier Tomozaki bothered me. I quit watching it. I watched it in dub just encase and I still didn't like it. I get what they are going for but it just didn't line up with what I think. So if it's for a particular audience the character development and story fell flat. It felt more awkward and more pointing a finger at 'converting people' then others. I don't mind otaku/raiju manga/anime I enjoy a few but it just didn't sit well with me at all.

The anime annoys me so much I just forget what it's actually like it's so terrible.

He isn't an ideal character. Nor is the oh the situations realistic I'm mean sure but many are fictional or 'what ifs'. We have seen enough oh the gyaru and nerd or this and that opposites before but Rent A Girlfriend does it and oh no.

I mean we literally see unconfident characters in job anime. Yet how do they get the job hmmm, well they have to have varied personalities. I mean skills are one thing but if we want to push every fictional thing in anime there is plenty to point fingers at.

I mean there is another Rental Girlfriend (https://myanimelist.net/manga/130186/Rental_Kanojo_Tsukita-san) manga (not Sumi) and it's consistent with the 'date by date' then the 'other drama and moments' that this Rent A Girlfriend series with an anime has the others is just rental girlfriend and date moments the manga. Others do their thing as well.

He is a bumbling idiot, an I assume introvert, he is awkward. He has friends but he also struggles to have a relationship hmm I wonder why many people in real life also do that hmmmmmmmmm. I wonder why we have very dramatic situations.

While I am not a fan of some story lines dragging on it's kind of expected I guess we can't have the goal answered yet got to have others on the side. For money and well elements they can come up with.

I think many extrovert people seem to forget how exaggerated (it is an anime after all) or accurate this anime is of character of his type.

I mean I don't take all the 'you should be this' side of things IRL as if 'that's the only direction and that's the only ideal character development'.

I don't believe that stuff at all. For some people sure it's necessary for everyone I mean it depends.

I don't believe in 'what is expected roles/you should be confident' I mean to get a way in this world 'sure' but otherwise in every situation. Why? Should we have to.

Let people do their own thing.

Know how many anime I get sick of clubs with oh the introverted character 'has to be there' like why. If they are up for it fine, but no we can't see them read a book because it's boring, or skip them entirely to only focus on the other characters, why not they don't have to be dragged into it yet they do 'because they are the main character can we not have side character focus'.

Oh we can't have moments like that because extroverted viewers get bored or it isn't much going on.

Neither is talking scenes, sure you get some context/situations but the same as any no dialogue/pantomiming as well. Actions are possible or any mundane situations about 'literally nothing' with cute girls doing cute things anime, while others do have depth to them.

But do people like this exist in real life yes. Are they supposed to be the best. I mean if you think your so good/are confident goo for you. If you aren't then well maybe similar to Kayuza.

I get anime has many audiences and yes it has many characters that are not confident (and may reflect some Japanese people, some western people, it may not other groups of people), besides we see the many 'how many hints can you get with the other friends or girls around you' but I mean they exist in Japan or the west whether we like it or not.

They have a place.

While I can get annoyed at him too I'm not as much, it depends on the situations of the series, some I predict, others I don't, some moments are silly, others serious and make sense. I mean it's not the same as every harem, it's like those that do try to point the moments out more then follow the tropes. I'm not saying it's unique it isn't.

Because I mean the series works. If we was the perfect character the series would be boring. If you want to watch a guy that gets the girls, sleeps around, or is just confident go watch that. Why complain about this series there is plenty of others. Is it because this one is popular.

I mean I find like even with some series covering other characters, either enjoyable to see the situations of those types of characters, or funny. As long as it's covered well of course and not disrespectfully.

As if people that 'over think things, do dirty stuff in their own space' and more don't exist. They don't. People reflect on themselves a lot. Well it isn't for them move on, find another anime.

I don't care I watch it because those moments don't literally bother me.

Bottom Tier the anime I couldn't sit through for it's many focuses too. But Rent A Girlfriend I find less annoying to watch.

You need to understand that kazuya was a character built to hate

It's completely intentional by the author, every single insane stunt that makes you want to toss your phone and every bad character trait is perfectly aligned with the scene to display the level of tactlessness the author wants readers to see and feel

How do you think he can continue a romance manga for 300 chapters and still be successful? Because the author knows exactly what he's doing, riding the controversy and hate to keep his manga from dying. The way he wrote kazuya was to be this disgusting person as people see. It's a way to keep readers reading and keep earning money while staying serialized

I think it is the Dolores Umbridge thing where if a repugnant character feels more realistic or the sort of unpleasant person you could reasonably meet in your daily life, it becomes much easier for you to hate said character. Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter is not the genocidal bigot that the actual main villain of the story, Voldemort is, but she is just a nasty person that is reminiscent of a mean teacher of a police officer abusing his authority. Your everyday, insufferable twat, a school bully. Because many people have had an unpleasant experiences with those sorts of bullies, then depictions of characters with these traits it elicits a greater emotional response than Wizard Hitler.

Kazuya, compared to Makoto or Shou Tucker, falls in line with this. Now, I never known a child abuser knowingly nor do I get involved in the sort of drama from School Days, though Kazuyas are easy enough to encounter at a distance. Holy shit, is this dude close to a pathological liar with the amount of lies he tells to what, save face?

If you have an encounter with someone who lies to an extent similar to Kazuya, then I imagine it would be easier for Kazuya to get on your nerves.

kazuya is trash, cuz he can't come clean and confess his feelings.
And according to the spoilers I got to know (thats why I didn’t watched S2 and further) was : he's such a trash that he imagines chizuru getting banged by someone other then himself and faps to it.
Got it? He's such a loser and trashy MC. So, I hate him and that why I didn’t watched S2 and same goes for S3.
My POV was hurt by this spoiler.

Actually, the thought appears in his head but he doesn't follow through with it out of respect for her. Similar to when he rejectes Ruka when she begs him to do the deed with her. At the start of the show he would have gone through with both things, but since he rejected them, that shows major character development. He might not be a very good guy overall, and he does start out as a trashy dude that just sees girls as ways to please himself, but the reason he's not the worst mc out there is because it's nice seeing him improve himself.
