Rent-A-Girlfriend
Authors: MIYAJIMA Reiji
Status: OnGoing
After being dumped by his girlfriend and left emotionally devastated, college student Kazuya Kinoshita tries to fill the emptiness in his heart by using a mobile app to rent a girlfriend. Chizuru Mizuhara, his rental girlfriend, initially seems perfect—she has great looks and a sweet, caring personality. However, after their first date, Kazuya reads mixed reviews on her profile, and still reeling from his past breakup, he suspects that Chizuru is just toying with men's emotions. Frustrated, he leaves her a negative rating. Furious at his disrespect, Chizuru drops her act and reveals her true personality—bold, sharp-tongued, and far from the gentle persona she initially portrayed. At that moment, Kazuya gets a call informing him that his grandmother has collapsed, and he rushes to the hospital, taking Chizuru with him. Although his grandmother’s condition turns out to be minor, she is overjoyed to see that Kazuya has finally found a serious girlfriend, something she had always hoped for. Unable to reveal the truth, Kazuya and Chizuru find themselves stuck in a fake relationship, pretending to be a real couple.
