Anime coming July 2020! You can rent a girlfriend, but can you buy love? Reeling from a bad breakup, Kazuya rents the beautiful, polite Chizuru for a date. But rock bottom might be so much lower than he thought! Chizuru is much more than the pretty face and sweet demeanor he thought he’d bargained for…In today’s Japan, “rental” services can deliver an afternoon with a “friend,” a “parent,” even a fake girlfriend! After a staggering betrayal by his girlfriend, hapless freshman Kazuya gets just desperate enough to give it a try. But he quickly discovers how complicated it can be to “rent” an emotional connection, and his new “girlfriend,” who’s trying to keep her side hustle secret, will panic when she finds out her real life and Kazuya’s are intertwined in surprising ways! Family, school, and life all start to go wrong, too… It’s sweet but naïve boy meets cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com!
The worst has happened. Kazuya thought he could protect the secret during the trip to the Hawaiians resort by confessing to Mizuhara and making their relationship real, but that’s all fallen apart. He missed his chance, and worse yet, Mami revealed to his friends and family that Mizuhara is only a rental girlfriend. Kazuya and Mizuhara have always managed to keep their shared lie under wraps, but what will they do now that it’s out in the open?
