Rent-A-Girlfriend truly is a generational manga – Fans mock their beloved rom-com over main characters not becoming a couple

Despite captivating audiences for seven years, Rent-A-Girlfriend’s premise of a young man renting a girlfriend to impress others remains unique and attention-grabbing. This has garnered a large fanbase with dedicated supporters. However, as time has passed, some audience members are becoming disillusioned with the stagnant nature of the relationship between Kazuya Kinoshita and Chizuru Mizuhara.

In contrast to the speedy release of popular romantic comedies like Uzaki-chan Wants to Hangout!, Komi-san Can’t Communicate, Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, and My Dress-Up Darling, Rent-A-Girlfriend takes a unique approach.

Many of its supporters view it as a pioneering force in the world of manga, asserting that it defies traditional romantic conventions and surprises its audience with unpredictable outcomes, causing a sense of disarray.
