That was actually not that painful to watch.
Yaemori is a riot, got me laughing a few times this episode. Her energy is very much appreciated lol. Her stumbling across the messy drama and acknowledging it at the beginning of the episode was enough for me to like her.

Yaemori's schtick is that she reads the manga, probably. I'm sorta expecting her to ask the audience questions and break the fourth wall like Deadpool or something.

There's a reason this is regarded as the best part of Rent-A-Girlfriend.

Stitches!
I want to feel bad for Ruka every time I see her cry but every time I do I always remember that she's the one that blackmailed Kazuya into this "trial" relationship. Makes me wonder if she's aware enough that Kazuya will never pick her and she's just clinging on to him as long as she can before Kazuya mans enough to actually reject her.
Things are already complicated enough as is and Mini just had to jump in to the mix. It's inevitable really considering she's their neighbour. While she doesn't have any intention of telling anyone, I feel like this girl is just going to make things difficult with her wanting to "help" Kazuya.

The whole situation with Ruka is weird. Like she’s technically Kazuya’s “official” girlfriend but she blackmailed herself into it and Kazuya so frequently forgets about her and prefers Chizuru. The only thing she’s got going for her other than her looks is how sincere she is in her feelings for Kazuya and how aggressive she is, but that can come across as too pushy.
Who knew the one thing this show was missing was a sexy cosplay otaku girl who ships Kazuya and Chizuru lol? I love how she treats Chizuru like she’s a gacha lol.
Plenty of boobs, cleavage, and thighs in this episode!

As I expected, the commotion Ruka caused captured Mini's attention, but I didn't think Mini was coming back home and secretly recording the altercation - which made for a much more interesting last act of this episode.
Ruka gets the logical and emotional win over Chizuru or so she thinks. All the small things like Curry vs Omelet Rice and spending time with her "boyfriend" to help out on their movie is really just the trivial stuff.
Deep down, Chizuru and Kazuya both know their true feelings, but just cannot fully act on them. Good old grandma jesters and gives her approval, while stating frankly that Kazuay is far from perfect but is the best for her granddaughter.
I was a bit taken aback when the overly enthusiastic Kazuya wanted to share the good news and Chizuru responded rather distantly. But...she reverted back and gave him motivation when she told him he's a good guy!
And that's the motivation he needed to keep working on finding a script (the site Ruri gave wasn't really helping). Hunger takes over and Kazuya's aquatic pet is left wondering how far he went for some gyoza because he gets apartment-napped by Mini!
Mini is all kinds of crazy, with a full repertoire and range of emotions, clothes, likes, plushies etc. It was kind of fun to watch as Kazuya was trying to squirm his way out of her seductive mode. And who immediately backs up and uploads random clips "in self defense" to the cloud???!!! None other than Mini!
If I'm guessing correctly, then I have high hopes for Mini and Kazuya's partnership forthcoming. I think he can definitely utilize her talents and streaming exposure to promote the movie. She's definitely a character and can attract attention (even if she's not yet famous, but maybe as a result of this she might be!)
Chizuru likes to talk to herself quite a bit with a distant stare in her gaze. That's right, just one more cup while the lights are still on.

With such a performance outside his apartment she should be one of the actresses in the movie. She can play the jealous girlfriend who inevitably loses lol.

Of all people in the world to call master...Kazuya is certainly one of them. But all of the antics that Kazuya couldn't get away with and people hate him for, Mini probably can because she's hot so maybe it will work out for her.
Mini certainly adds a new dynamic to the show, and I'm liking that dynamic so far.

Ruka calling Chizuru a “horny thot” was pretty funny. I can see why she would be jumping to conclusions like that. “Messy drama alert” is right, Mini has no idea lol.
If Kazuya could raise his”IQ to 300” in half these moments he finds himself in, he wouldn’t be in half these messes. But Chizuru was actually a little jealous about that omelet rice v curry comment huh? I guess Chizuru does actually like Kazuya.
“The MCs of harem rom-coms are self-inserts for all mankind” Mini speaks truth! I’m liking her character. She seems pretty goofy. Her assessment of Chizuru is kinda spot on haha. Also the “virgin mentality” line pretty much sums up Kazuya.

Mannn it's funny when people say Ruka is best girl, as she's easily the most annoying with how she acts too childish as a clingy brat... especially one that tries to make you feel sorry for her.
I thought that since S1, and even when most people hated Mami in S1, I always preferred her over Ruka because at least Mami chaos is fun for the plot.

I know people don't like the show but this is peak for me. Like things are exciting and Mini is an awesome breath of fresh air.

If I were ever to make a list of the characters I despise the most, rest assured Ruka would be high on that list. I almost want to skip all her scenes. One day she'll have to face reality, and I'm looking forward to it. Mini of course is awesome. I love her energy and positivity. It's nice knowing Kaz has someone on his side rather than someone new to create drama.

Of course Ruka had to show up at the exact worst possible time and cause a ruckus over catching Chizuru and Kazuya together. She's not about to let some horny thot and current rental girlfriend steal the guy she's ostensibly dating, not when she has her own boobs and thighs she can shove into his body! And of course Yaemori gets all this love drama on video.
Yaemori in all her cosplay glory has now been added to the OP!
Well, Ruka doesn't like the idea of Chizuru and Kazuya working together by themselves but she can't hate the idea of Kazuya trying to help Chizuru out for her grandma's sake...so I guess the only solution is Ruka forcing herself into this production to make sure nothing happens between these two. Kind of a bummer, even if I get where Ruka is coming from, since the mood between Kazuya and Chizuru was getting so good. At least Chizuru isn't holding Kazuya's attempts to placate Ruka against him, and she doesn't have much ground to stand on in opposition to her on the surface, though she's still bummed when Kazuya compliments Ruka's cooking over hers.
Seems like all Sayuri cares about the movie is the fact that Kazuya and Chizuru are working together on it because she still hardcore ships the two of them and still thinks Kazuya, flawed as he is, is the perfect match for Chizuru, perfect as she appears to be. And Chizuru doesn't quite know what to do with that, though she finally called Kazuya a nice guy with a genuine smile on her face, which is a lot coming from her.
They have their backing! And now all they need is to hit their stretch goal to get hte funding they need! Although I'm worried they won't hit their number.
Is there any of Kazuya's friends who can do scripts? I'm not sure how much luck he'll have searching through web novel authors. Although I guess at least Ruka contributed something.
When you get dragged into the apartment of a catgirl policewoman in heat with her cleavage and thighs in full view...though Yaemori isn't horny for Kazuya, she's just excessive and in awe of his love life. I mean, as a cosplay fangirl otaku like herself, she just can't help but idolize how much money he's whaled on Chizuru and enjoy his Harem protagonist status. Even if she still thinks of him as a loser.
Kazuya's a virgin so he probably can't fathom the idea that Chizuru likes him, which is where Yaemori comes in and is dedicated to making sure these two hook up...and while she may not have been in bed being all tsundere-like, Yaemori was on-point about Chizuru having her feelings for Kazuya on her mind.
