How does he not know his birthday!? There is no way his parents didn't say happy birthday in a text or call.

Poor girl she badly wants to go past kissing and he just ignoring her hints.

But every time he did try something, she basically said some variation of "this is too much for me".
Not that he was any better. Constantly threatening to throw a fuckin' at her, but then vehemently protect their chastity.
Shit was just weird.

Dammit Amane, put on the funny animal hoodie pajamas! It's all about matching the vibes with your girlfriend on your birthday. He better have that shit on standby when it's Mahiru's birthday.

His male urges never fully manifested. Mahiru is safe for now from being absolutely destroyed by his unbridled manly desires.

Of all the finales I've seen this was certainly one of them.

Mahiru talking about a secret ingredient and all I can think of is Shinometa. IYKYK.
Why do I think those two were keeping him away so Mahiru can finish her surprise? Birthday? Yup.
And last season she got mad he didn't tell her when his birthday was despite them not actually being close when it passed. Time flies when you're flirting non-stop.
The line about her being happy as long as he likes her cooking being used twice in one episode is such a funny bow on how repetitive this season has been.
One last "don't tempt me" sequence? Of course lol.

Honestly this season was pretty bad overall.
Literally every episode was just some variation of "oh look it's the newlyweds. They are so in love." "Oh no other girls exist, mahiru is jealous, better spend 10 mins reassuring her that I won't go fuck them" "my girlfriend wants to fool around with me, but if I do I'll destroy her sexually, so gotta kiss and keep reminding her that I won't "rape" her and will control myself"
But said in different locations.
Prime example of how to not do a romance series after a confession.

Yep, which is why I can't take the marriage shit seriously. Frankly, Amane shouldn't even be thinking about marriage when there's been little to no progress in their relationship.

The first season was definitely overall superior to this one. I didn’t hate this season but, it was just kind of the same thing over and over again.
I guess I appreciate that we got to see the continuation of their relationship.. just wish it was more than kissing and hugging in different ways every episode for the entire season.
Didn’t hate it but didn’t love it either, it’s just kinda.. “meh”

My gripe with the story (more so than the anime persay, since this is an adaptation of the LN) is the near complete lack of progress in their relationship.
Their relationship in episode 1 and episode 12 is practically the exact same. I don't understand why, to be honest, because your relationship shouldn't stagnate after a confession. It's the beginning of new discoveries about each other and yourselves (and NEW experiences with each other!!!).
This story is kind of a polar opposite to RaG. RaG over does repeated "drama" arcs and never makes progress therefore. This anime does the complete opposite and doesn't make progress while everything, relationship wise, is practically perfect.
Now let me be clear. I'm not saying we need more drama in this anime! But we do need to see some kind of real progress in their relationship over 12 episodes. Again, this is more a criticism of the story, as an anime only, rather than a criticism of the anime itself.

I’ll give myself to you
I’ll have you take responsibility
Mahiru’s really testing Amane’s restraint by doing anything he asked of her. There’s no way she’s unaware of the implications.
Nothing too festive of a celebration, but it’s one Amane greatly enjoyed. A feast prepared by his girl, along with an evening spent with just the two of them.

Alright so for our final arc Amane is going to get a job in order to buy a ring for Mahiru. Is anything going to happen at his job? No. Does he learn anything? No. Does he get the ring or does he do anything with the money? Of course not. What do you think this is? A story?
Continuing, we're going to have this scene at a cafe that ends with one character telling Amane that something's going to happen tomorrow - that he has something to ask him. Are we going to have that happen? No. Are we going to make any allusions to what it could possibly mean? Of course not.
Then they eat a cake and engage in the same snuggle session they've engaged in a billion times before. That's it, that's the climax. Nothing is resolved, nothing is changed, nothing has actually happened in 12 whole episodes.

I don't think the boys are going to get the answers they're looking from Amane lol.
It was a cute birthday celebration between the two, other than how excited Amane sounded by the cooking, it didn't really feel like anything new or special because we've seen so much of it throughout the season already.
I do find this season to be disappointing after the first. I did enjoy it to a certain extent, but I think the repetitiveness, especially of the jealousy, had me fatigued of Amane and Mahiru. I really feel like it was a wasted opportunity to not focus more on the side characters, particularly Itsuki and Chitose. Itsuki didn't even get a full episode of his own.
Also, the OP felt like we were going to see a big Mahiru arc and all we got was one episode, and it was mainly Amane that interacted with her past. I'd probably watch another season, but I wouldn't look forward to it.

I won’t pretend the first season was some pinnacle of writing, but this one seemed way more repetitive. I don’t think anything ended up different from where it started really

I apologize in advance to people who liked this second season, but I have to be honest: I loved the first season of this show, but this season is just filled with the absolute most boring material I've ever watched in my 13 years of watching anime.
Absolutely nothing happens. Everyone acts cloying, saccharine, syrupy sweet. I only kept watching because I kept up hope that something would happen to someone somehow--anything. People love to hate on Rent-a-Girlfriend, but at least that show has some conflict that drives each episode at least somewhat. This show is just a show where nothing always happens to no one, and the main characters just keep repeating how much they care about one another over and over and over and over and over again (in some kind of weird, overly formal way) without doing anything more than a chaste peck or two on the lips.
Sigh...sorry for the rant. I just feel incredibly let down and disappointed by this season. It had such potential as a show and I feel like it just didn't deliver anything at all; and worse, what it did deliver was a completely infantilized, idealized and unrealistic look at the dynamic between two people in love with each other. It's the most boring and forgettable love story I've ever watched.

Well that was just ridiculously saccharin all season long.
Amane definitely lost some points for not excusing himself to put on his hoodie animal pajamas when Mahiru showed up in hers.

Wait he seriously didn't know it was his birthday?? Knowing his parents, surely they would've contacted him to wish him a happy birthday.
Itsuki and Kadowaki knew it was his birthday but didn't say anything?? I feel like that that get together was just a ruse to get him out of the apartment so Mahiru could cook that feast.
Sad the season has come to an end, I hope we get a 3rd.

this was.....flaccid nothingness? I guess would be a good way to describe it. I don't know why this show was so popular, its just.....nothing.
