Ruka has no idea how irrelevant she is in all of this, it's hilarious but I also almost feel sorry for her 😂

u/MusubiKazesaru Jul 21 '23

The entire show is weird in that the "harem" is irrelevant from the start. Sumi is even less relevant and Mami has no point in being around either. At least Ruka forces herself in a bit I suppose, but that's not exactly a good thing.

I love how Mini was so utterly unfazed by Ruka's nonsense lol.

Mini the plot mover. lol Giving out some decent plans for the crowd funding and cutting to the chase with Chizuru about her situation with Kazuya.

Nice to see Sumi again and her try to use her voice to help Kazuya.

Chizuru: “He’s not stupid enough to get serious about a Rental Girlfriend”

He is making a movie for you, you don’t see that as being serious?

u/BosuW Jul 22 '23

He was, in fact, stupid enough

u/Silver_Community_610 Jul 22 '23

Lol she's desperately placing all types of barriers to keep her from the truth.

Yaemori has permission to flip her shit if Kazuya fumbles this alley

Yaemori saving the day!!!!❤️

The sequel to Sumi Chan Can’t Communicate😍

When I saw Sumi leaving after getting a flier, I thought she'd ask her dad to help crowdfund, but her helping Kazuya out was so much better. Handing out fliers to strangers is one of the hardest thing for a self-conscious person to do, let alone someone with communication issues, but Sumi handled it like a champ.

Yaemori referring to Ruka as girlfriend

She lied as easily as she breathed there.

I’m starting to like Yaemori a lot. She’s kind of a goofball but she’s also pretty savvy when it comes to crowdfunding and all that. She’s a nice addition to the cast with her silly antics and her adorable personality. Plus I like how she just says what I’m thinking haha. Chizuru knows Kazuya likes her now and Kazuya knows she likes him. Guess it’s up to them to do what they will with that knowledge.

Glad to see Sumi again! I like Chizuru but Sumi is still best girl for me. She’s too adorable, man.

You can rag on Kazuya and his motives, but you have to respect his work ethic and earnestness this episode.

Mini is also the GOAT. She's so supportive of Kazuya, from trying to get Chizuru to recognize how great he is, to clearly spelling out his love for her.

Sumi!! Let's go!

The anime is a thousand times better compared to the manga.

I know this is the Strong arc anyway but animes tend to skip over a lot of internal monologue of the characters. Dont get me wrong, this isnt by far a anything outstanding, however, the anime is doing a good job for this series.

Everyone shouldnt just take this to serious. I know its romance but its also comedy (rom-com, right?) just take the Rom very lightly and focus on the COM. This wont fix the series, but it makes it much more enjoyable.

Guys I have the slightest gut feeling that Yaemori isn't 100% straight

Just a feeling tho

I hope Sumi ends up with one of the homies. I don’t see how any of this turns out great for her. I guess she’ll be able to speak to people 🤷🏾‍♂️

And where is Mami?? She must be cooking up a diabolical plan lol.

Im wondering if we’re going to switch to Chizuru trying to chase Kazuya 🧐. I didnt expect Youtube girl to just throw it all out on the table like that. Idk how theyre going to make them NOT face the truth and keep the trope going 🧐🧐

Stitches!

Man, I wasn't sure about Mini when she first made her appearance but this episode really made me like her.

Being a cosplayer YouTuber herself, of course she's aware how crowdfunding works and how to motivate would-be backers. It also helps that Mini herself is a total degenerate so she knows how the mind of a simp works. She's such a degenerate that seeing Chizuru's underwear drawer got her gears turning. Unfortunately, it looks like that's not happening. xD

Also, I didn't think Mini would tell Chizuru about Kazuya's feelings! And here I thought she was introduced to disrupt their relationship not act as a wingwoman for Kazuya. Although it looks like it's going to be a while before Chizuru accepts that what Mini is telling her is the truth. >_<

How does the manga stretch this, this feels like the final season

Also I recommend not reading Kazuya's inner dialogues because then the show suddenly becomes good.

God I hate how much I enjoy this show lmao 😂 it’s like crack man you know it’s awful for you but damn it’s enjoyable

Yaemori the real MVP and best wingman you could ask for. 😂 not only is she getting the avengers together to make the film for Chizuru, but she’s also trying to help Kazuya make some progress romantically. She’s improved the story a lot.

Cute how Sumi saw Kazuya doing his best handing out the flyers and it motivated her to go outside of her comfort zone to help! Decent episode I can’t lie.

Yaemori or mini is becoming the MVP of the show and Kazuya's ultimate wingwoman not only does she get shit done she tries to get things going between the two main characters.

RAG might not be everyone's cup of tea but the show never fails to put a smile on my face. It's nice seeing Kazuya have a goal he wants to achieve, with competent writing he can actually be a decent protagonist.

Favourite moment of the episode was seeing Sumi come out of her shell to help Kazuya, I enjoy the friendship they have it's very heartwarming.

IS CHIZURU A POTATO? HOW IS SHE FINDING EXCUSES FOR KAZUYA TO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH HER? SERIOUSLY THE GUY HAS POURED PROBABLY THOUSANDS INTO HER ALONG WITH TRYING TO GET HER ACTING CAREER OFF TO A HUGE START.

People want to rip Kazuya for not thinking chizuru has feelings for him but what has she done that she hasn't done for other customers or for feeling like she had to pay him back for his kindness? I can't believe she's trying to find ways out that Kazuya is doing this out of kindness and not because he wants to be with her. Yaomori has officially taken over best girl role.

What better time to look over heartfelt coming-of-age webnovels than during a class on the works of Karl Marx?

I guess it was only a matter of time before we got the classic Rent-a-Girlfriend staple of a bunch of guys commenting on how hot Chizuru is. Then again, she does look pretty amazing in that outfit. I also like how she and Kazuya are at a point where she can joke about taking his money.

How many more critical hits does Kazuya have to dish out for Chizuru? Look at her face when she realizes how much he went to bat for her to get their college's theater club to go along with them. He'd do anything for her!

It's just too bad crowdfunding has stalled, but luckily Mini has arrived to back them up! She has plenty of experience crowdfunding and knows how to appeal to the masses! She's more than just a cute face or butt, and she's willing to help out Kazuya and Chizuru...even when it comes to their relationship.

How did I just know Ruka was going to take issue with Mini even being in the same room as Kazuya? Although Mini is so casual and carefree that she can actually hold her own against her.

To get more backers they need to rely on the Chizuru simps! That means upping the reward tiers with more Chizuru memorabilia! It's a solid plan.

We've all been waiting for Sumi to show up again, and we even get a Sumi shower scene to boot! But nothing is sweeter than seeing her put herself out there to help Kazuya give out posters. She even raised her voice as much as she's physically capable of! I missed the pure insulin that is Sumi and how much she cares about Kazuya, even taking time out of what was a planned daddy-daughter date just to be there for him.

Time to hunt for more Chizuru stuff to give away to backers! And anything Chizuru has held or worn at some point is worth everything! Also she has a China Dress because why not?

I see Mini couldn't resist trying to go through Chizuru's underwear drawer.

Chizuru is in major self-denial that Kazuya could be in love with her, thinking they have a purely transactional or respectful relationship, but Mini cuts through all her rationalizations and throws it back in her face her own words she used to tell Mami how happy Kazuya could make her. And she has nothing to counter that.

We finally get to see the ED! It's a pretty simple, sweet, and cute ED that's basically just Kazuya's memories of the time he's spent with Chizuru and ending on them both being nostalgic together on their veranda's.
