What is the moral of Rent a girlfriend? I expected MC to use Mami and Ruka to make Chizuru jealous but why is he still simping? Is this considered normal in Japan?
Moral? How would rent-a-girlfriend even have one?
Kazuya says it himself.
>>282505442It's about how stupid the author can make his characters and readers look for as long as he can.
>>282505442>MoralHate reading can be profitable.
>>282505442Moral of the story is how grit and determination can get you the hottest girl in all of anime and manga history.
>>282505563it’s delusion driven by a false understanding of what makes a man
>>282505442The moral of the story is that if you can't write a good manga, write one that's bad in an interesting way so that readers will continue reading out of morbid curiosity.
You don't need to be a good writer to sell your work
>>282505442I would actually respect the mangaka if he ends it with MC as a virgin with no gf. It would be fitting.
>>282505442is every single woman in this manga an insufferable cunt that deserves to be raped to death?
>>282507628your post didn't need the words "in this manga"
>>282506155And what is a man exactly?
>>282507851a miserable pile of secrets
>>282507884but enough talk
>>282507851What has he got?If not himself, then he has naught.To say the things he truly feels.And not the words of one who kneels.

>>282510333My fucking hero
Reject thots, simping, whoring, and polygamyEmbrace tomboys, masculinity, vanilla, and monogamy
>>282510483Bold of you to assume anyone in this thread isn't a schizo, myself included
>>282510063>>282510089>frilly lingerie>flowery bra and undiesOh yeah he's definitely getting sum tn
>>282510189>a...aaa...u...umi...umi...UMIIIIEEEYYYYAAAAA
>>282510189So did Umi just ignore this text? Yeah, they met up to play sports, but that's obviously a separate group event. And she's still the one who had to ask him to talk again in person afterward, as if she'd never texted him about it before.
>>282509987NOT THE WAY I DRIVE BIIITCHHHH
>>282509987Eyes on the road, Kazuya, you might hit someone if you don't
>>282510140She is going to free all war-torn cities, cure all disease, and end world hunger.
Chizuru is probably the worst cunt I've ever seen in any manga, like holy shit, end the manga with her dying in a horrible accident that reduces her to mincemeat
>>282505442This shit is just ridiculous
>>282505563I absolutely despise this character. In terms of his emotions, he's probably the most woman-like character in a manga. He has more spastic emotional fluctuations than a shoujo manga MC in a highschool setting.
>>282505442I've spent $250+ on a single date.Dude is getting off easy.
>>282510140What a shitty mary sue.
I'll save Kazuya in the end
>>282505442This image is AI-generated btw.
>>282510763Honestly I've never seen an author glaze over one character this much unironically, but I guess since this shit makes all its money through merch, he's got to keep shilling her in order to validate the brainrotted customers purchases, an to keep them coming back for more
>>282511362No shit
>>282505563>>282508178>>282508340>>282510320>>282510481>>>/v/
>>282505563oh sure, then the next chapter the author mocks readers who though that.
>>282510645You're right, I didn't catch it before, but unless this is a translation issue it does feel as if he ignored this one and she went out of her way to the futsal event to catch him there. It doesn't even look as if he intended to talk with her after that since the guys seem to have something planned afterwards. I guess he expects a rejection and tries to postpone it. Wouldn't it be funny if it wasn't a rejection, but Chizuru is late, because he already dates femKazuya over here. >>282510111
>>282510763Isn't that how Hanekawa from Bakemonogatari end up us in the later novels?
>>282511362I was wondering. But, uh... so what? That's impressive. This time last year AI could barely write a single coherent word in images.

>>282505442>What is the moral of Rent a girlfriend?Metairony, simps are running for a carrot they will never get, then to cope, they search for some fiction with a happy ending that can justify those struggles, but they get exactly the same experience

>>282505442Readers be like>LOL!! How can this retard keep falling for this!?!? What a moron.Author be like>LOL!! How can these retards keep falling for this!?!? What morons
>>282505442Isn't this the manga with the panel of the guy crying with an erection while being cucked? Why would an NTR fantasy even need to have a moral?
>>282510951that's life!
>>282510470KEKReiji definitely hates him. Maybe not a conscious level, but all of these humiliations inflicted on him is a clear sign that he hates the character's guts. And, by extension, since Kazuya is somewhat based off of himself, it means that Reiji hates himself.
>>282512492>Reiji definitely hates him.No, I genuinely think Reiji thinks this is funny. Kazuya getting a boner is peak comedy to him.
>>282512122I find it funny and tragic how so much Manga is as much irony poisoned as Marvel movies and internet culture and it doesn't get called nearly as much.
>>282510501Worst post on /a/, possibly everIndistinguishable from a xitter post
>>282505442The moral is that Kazuya is fag that deserves to suffer
>>282505563Top 10 photos taken before the tragedy.
>>282505804Naive.Moral is, be derangedly irrational, insanely stubborn, childishly impulsive, make an absolute fool of yourself, delude yourself in a schizo way about your reasons to falsely self improve, make your pathetic life be revolving around a worthless woman... and the only shit you'll get is breadcrumbs of affection from someone who only chases people on her vocational league or above, but in exchange, you'll end up burning bridges with people who actually care for and love you.
>>282510340Just wait 'till he starts to get vrvtally gigagrvked by grim trvths.He'll become Mami 2.0
>>282510501>Embrace tomboys, masculinity, vanilla, and monogamyThen marry a menhera cunt with self validation issues
>>282511176T.Ruka.
>>282505563I hate /v/ so much it's unreal
>>282513151The thing about this is that I do not believe that the author is unironically going for it. In the end he will get her and it will be played completely straight.That is what everything about the show tells me.The thing is, if this was realistic, then the reveal would be:Well of course I sleep with my other customers who pay much more then you?OrWait you thought you were the only one?In other words the MC straight up NTR cucks himself; but no matter how bad it gets he stays her pay pig and then it ends with the MC committing suicide.If it was that, then it would be good.But its not going to be that, instead its a game of: suspend or not suspend your disbelief. And how much disgusting trash can I put into my show
>>282513009The moral is people like KEKzuya shall die and have a Temptation of Thanatos version of his Mizuhara take him to the afterlife. At least he'll die believing he got his happy end..The driving license thing will end resulting in him getting into an accident.
>>282510140You could tell Chizuru to Speedrun a game that she has never played and beat the TAS run and she would do it without breaking a sweat but ask her if she likes the guy she just kissed and she would need multiple months and a therapist, what a dogshit character
>>282510044Dude comes off as a legit psycho. Like, am I wrong here? It's like watching a mental patient stuck repeating his obsession and powerless to stop it.
>>282505442https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girlfriend_experienceA girlfriend experience (GFE) is a commercial sex service. It ranges from a transactional sex relationship[1] to a client paying a sex worker to pretend to be his girlfriend during the session.[2] If the sex worker is male, the service is called a boyfriend experience.[3]
>>282512745>>282513177Don't open your mouth in the presence of men.
>>282505442Nothing. It's pure nihilism.
>>282510189>not this shit again.png
>>282505442Can't buy me love.
>>282505563GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
>>282513256Blame his little goonie for that, encouraging his obsession and feeding him with false hope.
The lie Kazuo is hiding for >30 years is that Kazuya isn't a Kinoshita by bloodline, he couldn't conceive so Harumi either got sperm donor'd or fucked a rando that looked like him. All his life was a lie.That explains why Nagomi is clinically despaired for greatgrandchildren.And Kazuya will get that gigagrvke after his 22nd bday (after he legally becomes an adult)
>>282513220It has always been about playing it straight despite what the schizo theorists believe. He is simply the only customer that she interacts with in many scenarios not expecting compensation (mostly due to being in close proximity and having overlapping friend groups with each other). If she had been playing him this whole time, he would not have fallen in love with her this way.At least this is what the end of the Tiger’s Den chapters is letting you to believe. It’s only when Kazuya surmises that she is not seriously involved with other clientele and is not just simp-herding is when he decides to make her the one.
>>282513495Don't blame Hae for that. She's taking a kinda pediatric way to make Kuzu let go of Zuru, making him busy by convincing him he'll win masculinity points in front of Zuru.
>>282513699That would be valid... if only this manga didn't have the tagline of "a rental love life that shines like real"
just hope it makes simps reflect on how vapid and empty their existence is and how calculating and evil women are and why it is bad to give them money
>>282513747Okay I suppose Mini is not the source of that, it’s the other way around then, it’s Kazu’s endless spiel and psychotic “waiting 20 years” attitude is what’s impressing on Mini.
>>282510150Those girls are seething behind her back right?
>>282505563KAZUYA, MY BOY, COME. WE MUST DISCUSS OUR FEELINGS.
>>282513973Probably, but not necessarily, I assume these are people from her acting school, so they still are competition, but she would have a somewhat friendly relationships with them, these aren't the girls she acted with during the second play she had zero connection with and which were seething about everything.
>>282513963Mini treats all of this like a dating sim, she has fun, for Kazuya it's serious.
>>282513912That worked for the first 200 chapters when there were rentals… now it is just “a thing these two characters have”.
>>282510629>>282510532Anon, Chizuru was literally brushing off Umi's compliments this chapter
Umi will get rejected BUT Mami and Kazuya will end up having sex at driving school namek
i want to see choriputa NTR'd by Mami or Mini. she deserved it
>>282514277I want to see her succeed and leave Kazuya behind, so that everything he did ended up a waste of time, so that Mami's warning comes true and he wasted all his money, and youth on a unattainable dream, but still happy Chizuru's dream came true. I want his family and friends to abandon him after they realize how everything was a lie and him to start anew unburdened far away from the Menhera, the crazy ex and the enabler.
>>282514407Chizuru will fail and will go to Kazuya for comfort but will see Mami making out with him
>>282505442It would be hilarious if all this was just leading to a ten year timeskip where Japan is on it's last legs as a society, birth rates have become 0 for two years straight and Kazuya is a homeless bum with narration saying "This is the future of Japan because in truth, every man is Kazuya."The GREATEST Long Con of all time, the series being one big shitpost towards the Japanese men and their weakness.
>>282514435That's too much, maybe he'll spill that Chziuru rejected his ass to Mami, her reaction could be interesting.
>>282505442>moralDon't be a simp.
>>282505442the moral is that slice of life and rom com fags are subhuman.THEY are the reason we get shit with the perfect mary sue self insert and beta male cuck main characters where nothing happens.
>>282514270Choriputa will want to forget about Scum and seek Umi for comfort.
>>282505442It is unfair that hags and boys can wear normal swimsuits in anime while JKs in anime are stuck in genderless swimsuits which are zip up shirts and shorts on swimsuit episode...
>>282514938wow haha those swimsuit designs are so ugly anime fans are cooked
>>282509998almost 400 chapters in and we’re finally getting around to ‘drawing the line’
>>282509987And if she says no you can kidnap her easily too
>>282510111she's off side tho, pull off the VAR NOW
>>282514963Even for normal swimsuits which are allowed for hags and boys in anime? JK characters are not allowed to wear bikinis in anime swimsuit episode due to Ishiba and his supporters considering bikinis on JK charas as noise.
>>282505442Don’t trust women with your happiness. They don’t know what they really want.
>>282505563Mini is an idiot. She could've had him right there.
>>282505442I had to stop watching this show because it was making me angry.
>>282515537>What goes on in your brain? I can not imagine it.Self-loathing on a level even the most kissless-hugless permavirgins can't imagine. That's basically the core of the entire cuck/NTR/femdom fetish. These people have been twisted into something literally less than a human being. I'd just call it sad if it wasn't also part of a conscious psyop and propaganda to further demoralize and brainwash young men into being passive and obedient.
>>282510184Jesus fuck ... a bit on the nose isn't it?
Mizuhara is a kind girl and she is just going to ask Umi to be Kazuya’s friend. She will not go directly to a love hotel with Umi at any point.
From one of the new Ruka lunatics on 5ch. Quite logical analysis.Warning, long post>I'm a real Rukakichi, unlike the fake Rukakichi who are like unemployed freaks (Minikichi) who don't really understand Ruka.I've been supporting not only Ruka and Yaemori, but also Shiori since she was the leading lady on stage.Even back then, there were people on threads and in Magapoke comments who said Shiori was like a slut who was trying to curry favor with the bigwigs, and it pissed me off.Today, people are linking Umi and Shiori together as lovers, and they're criticizing her for "having feelings for Umi" and "being Umi's settlement" which is disgusting and makes me want to throw up.You guys have a good say despite not knowing much about Shiori.(1/2)
>>282516028>Shiori is one of Mizuhara's few acting friends, and she even celebrates her birthday with sincerity. She's not stealing roles from Mizuhara; she's winning them through sheer talent. Mizuhara may be better at acting and looks, but compared to the others, Shiori is the more talented, and that's why she's treated that way in the show. Shiori, who can't exercise, was forced to work hard this time, scoring a hat trick with Umi's assistance, so even though she was exhausted, Umi naturally held her hand in his. The fact that they held hands instead of a high-five at this point shows that Umi is a fraud who keeps changing women, and that he's not worthy of Mizuhara. Shiori was never after Umi. To begin with, Shiori didn't blush when Umi held her hand in his. She was exhausted and collapsed, nearly dying. I've been saying for a long time that if there are any future stories about Mizuhara's acting, I want Shiori to be the one in the spotlight, and the funniest thing was seeing her as a gag character in the futsal game this time.>It's fine for Mizuhara to say sorry and goodbye to Umi and settle things, but the person Mizuhara is settling things with isn't just Umi, it's also Ruka, and if she's serious about being with Kazuya, then it's Mizuhara, not Kazuya, who should be the one to make Ruka settle things.(2/2)About the last part, it's obvious why. Ruka's being kept as a status quo enforcer.
>>282516038Sorry for this longer-than-usual post and getting a bit carried away.I'm such a big Shiori fan that I'm proud to say I might be the only one in the world who can defend Shiori this much, so it can't be helped.As I said at the beginning, the reason I've started posting my reviews of the Ren Kano anime every Tuesday is because I don't watch the advance screenings, or rather, I can't even watch them. At the earliest, it's after the TV broadcast (please ignore the assumption that I'm a NEET). I'm busy with work during the week and my personal life on the weekends, so it's completely normal.I've never spent my weekends posting on 5ch.To get back to the point, I could watch it on the weekends, but I need a little time to check how the anime differs from the manga.Plus, I watch the official Ren Kano anime on Nico Nico Douga every Monday, and I keep an eye on the comments, which is why I've started posting my reviews on Tuesdays.(3/3)It was originally a 2 parter post.
>>282516038One thing is certain. Shiori will continue winning while everybody else loses. She is like a female Kazuya except more successful, is not latching onto a boy like a tick, not whoring herself out like a failure, and she even holds hands with her favorite actor Umi without ever really trying.
>>282505442Fake, he never call her Chizuru.>>282510629Source?
>>282515537there’s nothing to be such in arms about man it’s just two dorky young adults navigating their feelings in a non-rushed way, with just enough drama and loose ends in background to keep readers hooked every week.
>>282510184>I bet god smiles on people like that.Umi now biggest simp of this show, what the fuck was that?
>>282516410Ruka is not an adult yet.
>>282516209>She is like a female Kazuya except more successfulLet's not pretend to undermine Kazuya's achievements, please?Remember he won a flower contest, managed to produce an indie movie o a crowdfunding shoestring budget and time, and i'm positive he'll succeed with the driving license and internship
>>282505442>70 bucks to hang out with a autistic virgin retard and pretend you are his gfhonestly i would need A LOT more
>>282516444It’s just Umi’s mating call at work.>>282516599Kazuya could save the world from a catastrophewith his simping that doesn’t mean he’s entitled to Chizuru’s love or a romantic relationship with her.
>>282516535ruka is the loose end mate.you’re not alone I’m duly awaiting her chapter as well.
>>282505563Based Kratos.
>>282516661No one, especially not Kazuya, thinks he’s entitled to her, however she won’t fucking let him go either.
>>282516028I haven't check out 5chan in months but that guy seems to be the old rukakichi given that he also supports Mini
>>282516792>however she won’t fucking let him go either.Gee I wonder why? Oh right. Her dead grandmother, his family and friend, and even the ex girlfriend are holding her hostage over this and won’t shit up about it. No wonder she’s turning to Umi to save her. They just won’t stop.
>>282516871Codependent? Yes. Hostage? No. She had many opportunities for outs but doubled back every single time, due to jealously and fear of losing him. Instead of leading him on she could’ve easily blacklisted him after the movie.
>>282505442the absolute state
>>282505442The Moral is not to read it.
>>282517259>Instead of leading him on she could’ve easily blacklisted him after the movie.She actually did. And then Wonder Mini swooped in to save the day with her manipulative Think Of Master talku no jutsu techniques. She’s just afraid of making people feel bad that everyone in her life took advantage of it.
>>282516661>>282516871Anon read the room, Chizuru did NOT care about Umi's compliments towards her this chapter, considering the title of the chapter, Umi's expression in the last panel and preview for the next chapter, it's highly likely Chizuru is going reject Umi to set some boundaries/Lines
>>282517340Is that really true? I've seen some say that this is a myth.
>>282505563God of Hope....
A few possiblities next chapter1.Umi gets rejected and quietly seethes about it, cuts back to Kazuya doing his usual shit and driving school namek2. Umi delays the rejection by doing something dumb like forcing Chizuru into a position to rely upon him for acting support3. Umi gets rejected but forces a kiss on Chizuru and she melts into it4. Umi gets rejected but forces a kiss on Chizuru and she forcefully pushs him back, gets pissed and leaves and because of this event she chooses to distance herself even more from Kazuya because now she's even more certain she's not worthy of himAll of this is assuming of course that Chizuru plans on rejecting him, whatever it is, Umi doesn't seem excited about what she has to say.
>>282517960>you actually consider this to be romanticnta but pretty much Kanokari has not been only romantic from the get go anon. People already knew what they are getting into after reading the first chapter, atleas JOP knew.
The title is "My girlfriend and drawing the line 1" and Kazuya isn't with Chizuru so the "drawing the line" can't be referring to him and Chizuru has been wanting to contact Umi and Umi has purposefully avoided this confrontation, even his expression at the end is a sign that this isn't a good moment for NTRfags/Umifags.
>>282517960>consider this to be romanticDon’t consider it anything, it is exactly what I said. Are you so quick to label it that way because you want to disprove the romantic integrity of the story? It’s nothing serious like that, it is just psychologically interesting is all.
>>282505563The issue here is that he hasn't properly asked himself "What makes a better man?" And amongst the several things that makes a man better is self respect.Which, he doesn't have.Instead, he has an obsession for a woman that seems to look at him more like a wallet.
>>282517780Umi is doing nothing to deserve the boundary treatment. That should be all on Kazushit for trying to cheat on his girlfriend and letting Mini influence his dick. Mizuhara cares about Umi and he is her friend. If he loves her she is GOING to do something about it.
>>282518447>Umi is doing nothing to deserve the boundary treatment.He does if Chizuru wants to make her feelings clear.>That should be all on Kazushit for trying to cheat on his girlfriend Lmao nobody gives a shit about Ruka, even if Kazuya only considers her his half-assed backup option.> and letting Mini influence his dick.This ain't a solo operation, Chizuru kissed him out of nowhere and gave Mini an opening to mindfuck him.> Mizuhara cares about Umi and he is her friend. Precisely, they're FRIENDS.>If he loves her she is GOING to do something about itThat's what she seems to be doing now by rejecting him and making it clear she only seems him as a friend, to set the record straight.
>>282517433Well she couldn’t even give him the benefit of a firm rejection which means she doesn’t respect him at all or she is afraid of looking like a bad guy which either way is selfish of her.
>>282518583To set the record straight that she loves him. You know it to be true. She doesn’t have Umi’s contact number and goes on christmas dates with him for no reason. Mizuhara already has her Kazuya who loves her and that is Umi, she doesn’t need another one.
>>282518406MI COMPA!There isn't a single moment where Chizuru see Kazuya as a wallet.>But all those datesThe whole Hawaiians arc was free of renkano fee despite the shitshow it happens.Most of these niggas calculations and seething are from the date arc where Kazuya wanted to go all out and got rejected (kek). Prior that, the cheer up date was the one where he spended the most hitherto date arc and before that some dates where just him walking around with Chizuru and thats it.Funny enough he did not pay renkano fee on the two dates mentioned above but his spendes there were, arguably, bigger than all the renkano fee he paid prior that.
>>282518689Of course she doesn’t respect him. She’s using Kazuya to get to Umi. She lied to his face about why she rejected him and everyone believed her. This is why she kissed him again. To make Umi jealous when she finally brings it up to him which is going to be soon.
>>282518699>To set the record straight that she loves himShe doesn't, she brushed off his compiments this chapter.>You know it to be true. I know that you're trying way too hard.>She doesn’t have Umi’s contact number and goes on christmas dates with him for no reason. Anon, are you dumb? She literally texted Umi before.> Mizuhara already has her Kazuya who loves her and that is Umi, she doesn’t need another one.Again, trying too hard, the point of Umi's character is that despite being succesful, despite having romantic relationships that actually last longer than Kazuya's own love lives have ever lasted, he can't get Chizuru, at every turn she has brushed off his flirting, even getting pissed with him at one point when he tried to force her to go out to dinner, Umi himself knows this, that expression in the final panel is because he knows what's coming next.
>>282518699>>282518842Here's a pity (you) Umitard.
>>282518842This make sense, as always Umischoolars bring enlightenment to the simp the manga thread
>>282518962>Samefagging
>>282518564The author puts it in your face that the MC is a loser with too many issues, what’s so hard to understand about reading a story about what not to do? Personally idc that the leads are toxic idiots that’s what makes it interesting. Having threads makes it better cause we all want to see how the fuck this romance is going to wrap up.
>>282518858Mizuhara was jealous of Umi holding another girl’s hand sorry. She’s planning to confess to him right this minute before she loses him forever. Umi is just really dense to her true feelings about him and it shows. I wish them luck!
>>282519167And I wish you luck in playing in traffic! Seriously, go do it now.
>>282505442Why do Americans always expect a moral in their stories? Sometimes stupid shit happens and nobody grows or learns.
Umifag is having his own Kazuya moment with these delusions they're posting, not even Umi thinks he has a chance which is why he's always seething.
>>282505442decimals and commas are not the same thing
>>282505726>Hate reading can be profitable.At the end of the day it doesn't matter to the creator if people are reading out of love or spite so long as they're reading. See this is why so much outrage media only does more damage. If it wasn't for people spamming this shit for attention it might just as well have been quietly forgotten or ignored. And now we got damn near 400 chapters of this because of LOL IRONY.
>>282519276I don’t know why people get so upset about this. Chizuru as a character is not real who cares that she is with another man? She does this all the time and not a single male she interacts with in the manga is special to her including the MC. She will probably reject everyone and admit she’s gay or something.
>>282519123Your takeaway is a failure of your literacy. The MC is self-improving for the wrong reasons. This is apparent due to him listening to third parties instead of communicating directly. At this rate he is not winning, every reader that has kept up to this point knows this. However he has a harem awaiting him in the case of this. The Girl we are forced to root for (every harem manga has this) is fucking up badly as well. Either she NTRs him or not, which then decides the path of the manga’s genre. Whether we are in it for the misery or catharsis is still up in the air. And Reiji has his hands on the trigger.
Umi will probably get rejected next chapter and go full ragetard mode and try to use his domain expansion on Chizuru before getting stabbed in the back by a crazed Ruka who will then set her sights on Chizuru only to get hit from behind by Mami who pierces through both her and Chizuru with special beam cannon, thus winning Kazuya.
>>282518842She respects him just Kazuya hasn’t made it apparent to her his desperation without her and Chizuru actually wants his desperation.
>>282519123Someone winning is someone else losing and Mizuhara, the perfect beauty and kind goddess, would never allow that. This is her being kind and everyone will get a good ending whether they like it or not. Everyone deserves a fair shot at her and everyone’s dedication matters especially Umi’s. You're right.
>>282520131Umi a shit anon, his happy ending is you and him dying together.
>>282520131>Someone else winning is someone else losing Mizuhara would never allow thatUnironically she can’t handle being the sole winning heroine that’s what’s taking this romance so long to wrap up.
The thing is, someone IS going to get left in the dust and that someone is probably Ruka, no matter what happens with Chizuru in the future, Kazuya has only ever viewed her as "break in case of emergency" kind of option, he doesn't feel any real love for her, so unless she gets over her feelings for Kazuya and finds someone who actually loves her, she's screwed.
>>282520380Not him but Umi has done literally nothing wrong so if anything he deserves Chizuru more than Kazuya
>>282521145>T-Totally not that anonSure....anyway...>Umi has done literally nothing wrong Besides silently seething like a little bitch because Chizuru won't return his feelings and forcing Chizuru to out to dinner with him so he'll promote the movie for her grandma, used her dying grandma as an excuse to see her to try and confess but then pussied out, Umi is somehow unironically more pathetic than Kazuya, which is saying alot.>he deserves Chizuru more than KazuyaThere's not a single situation where this will ever be true, Kazuya, dumb simp or not has done more for Chizuru than Umi ever could, which Chizuru has acknowledged because she straight up said she loves Kazuya but can't bring herself to go out with him, she was thinking about the kiss this chapter and brushed off all of Umi's dumb flirting attempts because she quite obviously has something serious to say to him that isn't in his favour.
When Ruka becomes evil she'll probably offer Umi her body so they can both conspire to get what they really want.
"That man" has not made his move yet and until he does, Kazuya is not safe.
>>282522812>"That man"El Padre?
>>282523679"Evil" is on the move.
>>282523679He's talking about the One Punch Man villain
>>282522812Who?
>>282520084>She respects himin opposite land.
>>282505442So is this series about a guy with a findom humiliation kink?
>>282526465Nah, this is misery porn and turkish telenovela for shounen audiences
>>282517340In the end its his own faultIt's like hiring daily the same whore and expecting her to fall in love with you just because of that
>>282520573Kazuya has shown he doesn’t deserve Ruka. And because he doesn’t deserve Ruka by default he doesn’t deserve Chizuru either and Chizuru herself agrees. Kazuya will end up alone and it’s going to be nobody but his fault it’s what he deserves.
>>282526975Kek this isn't Kaiji or Akagi where the MC has a tragic end.Worst case scenario, he ends returning with Mami, settling with Mini or with an NPC.But honestly, Kazuya and Chizuru both deserve each other, not because of being the quintessential embodiments of human virtue, but because of the opposite: they both are such shitheads who can't have normal relationships with normaler people. They have a rotten bond, no matter how tainted, putrid and polluted it is, they're bound to be together.
>>282517869i don't know just checked a few chapters of manga.>dad gave kazuya a million yen for studies>spended almost the whole million on chizuru>got a job to pay her more.>all of this in less then six months.
>>282527133I think they both deserve freedom. From each other. It’s always me me me that they think about and it’s really selfish. What about Ruka? What about Mami? What about Umi? They do not have to put up with each other’s problems and issues and are making things seem complicated than they really are. Unless Chizuru is hiding one giant secret like she’s already married or something I don’t see why they have to be bound together or why they can’t just go after other people? They don’t even deserve to stand in the same room after she rejected him it’s time to stop this.
>>282505563CHIZURU! COME, WE MUST TALK ABOUT OUR FEELINGS! We...must be.....better men. More empathetic, docile role models whom young men can look up to and learn positive masculinity from. When strong independent women, BIPOC of color, gender diverse children and neurodivergent folk speak, we must sit down, listen and learn how to give them a voice and empower them. We will not go back.

digits and this manga gets a glorious total schizo meltdown ending that will be discussed on /a/ for years to come
>>282526975Kazuya is a better person than Chizuru is.
>>282527698
>>282528025Kazuya is way worse than Chizuru, explain how she is worse than him
>>282527993Hoshino me wo tsubutte end, but extra bleaker and pointless where Kazuya realizes all his efforts were for fucking nothing, lashes out at everybody, punches Kibe 'till leaving him almost dead, makes all the issues of the world about himself, breaks Ruka's heart in the cruelest way and everybody chooses to ostracize him from their lives.End is Kazuya working as a construction worker, dates a blue collar uggo who resents his existence and dumps him after finding out why he ended up being a poorfag. His carelessness at working becomes his final demise and after his head gets hit by a falling girder, his last thought is about Mizuhara. He dies with a smile.The story ends being a cautionary tale about how simpery, lack of impulse control and clinical obsession can lead a person to his demise.
>>282527569
we know how the end game is in kazuya case.
Has this guy fucked Chizuru at least once?
A bad end for Kazuya should be having to accept Ruka.Just saying. She's the only one he wants out of his life, and came to resent as his obsession with Mizuhara grew. Accepting her equals Punpun being saddled with Sachi, Eita's end in Drowning Fireworks or Kamille end in Zeta gundam (a reminder best girl looked down on Fa, and only softened to her as he reaches his breaking point and mental demise).
>>282527469You’re in here to shitsling about what constitutes a better series, mine above yours, yours inferior to mine, it doesn’t matter. You’re a retarded ape with no propensity to have an open mind. Face it faggot, this will always be popular and get attention while whatever other garbage you watch never gets a new season and gets axed to irrelevancy.
Reading this and CSM's containment threads made me appreciate bitter, bleak and sad ends, because all of them are consequence of MC's flaws they never made an effort to take care of:>Joe, Seiya and Eren all met their tragic fates because they never learned to think before acting or when to give up (subverted with Seiya in ND, but it took him being comatose to finally know his place)>D-Boy's revengelust and Kamille's autistic impulsiveness led them to end crippld and having to be taken care by the only girl that stuck by their side despite of both MCs treating them like shit.>Shitji's incel meltdown turned the entire world into a fanta wasteland, and the other person who escaped human instrumentality hates his guts.Kazuya is heading towards a similar comical tragedy simply because he didn't learn to keep himself in check.
>>282528828>retarded slop made for retarded masses will always make money.Damn, what a revelation.
>>282505442There wasn't any pantyshots this season or did the OP from here forgot? >>282528862
>>282521317Anon, Chizuru is just a whore plain and simple. Even if she ended up with Kazuya what the fuck does that clown cuck have to offer? He's given that ringworm of a woman a lot of shit, but the money is going to dry up. Where do you think the money for his driving lessons are coming from? I honestly hope both characters get help, but knowing how Japan tends to be oblivious to mental health we'll just get two retards being together. Honestly this whole series would have been better off as Hentai with Kazuya as the main rapist. At least if it were everyone would've been spared the meaningless cycle of this trashy excuse of a love story. Or an alternative, Chizuru could just give back the money Kazuya spent on her and have him use it to get real help. But we already know that's too much of a step for Kazuya, he'd be too developed of a character. Umi may or may not get rejected or he'll be right back with Chizuru playing mind games. Mini really needs to fuck off already, she's okay but clearly doesn't know that her intentions are ruining Kazuya. Anywho, hopefully this shitty piece of garbage ends soon.
>>282528557>bad endingI think they meant good ending
>>282527469>how a regarded coomer paypig won over his rental girlfriendSo here's the thing the public frames it like that but it's more of "two intertwined college students who happen to meet through rental" yes he becomes a simp who thinks his only value is through his money meanwhile the girl disapproves of this and tries to get him to be confident in his own self-worth not realizing that she is acting like his guardian this whole time and the only way this romance works is if they have pure fiery sex with each other since they are emotionally in all ways compatible but physical.Also one man's trash is another man's treasure.
>>282528601He hasn't fucked anybody lol
>>282529532There is not a barometer of required resources you must reach as a human you retarded incel.
>>282528347Kazuya is pathetic but he genuinely cares about other people and tries to do right by them. Chizuru is incredibly selfish and acts like a goody twoshoes that helps others, when in reality she only uses them to serve herself. The way she treats Kazuya and his family in particular is evil and unjustifiable.
>>282530158>Kazuya is pathetic but he genuinely cares about other people and tries to do right by them.No he doesn't, he lied to everyone again after the Hawaiians, he didn't respond to Mami's call, he doesn't mind lying to one of his best friends, do I even have to bring up how he treats Ruka? Admittedly, Chizuru isn't any worse on this regard so they are on par on this
>>282530281Exactly, the only complaints about Kazuya are the lies to their mutual friends, which Chizuru is also guilty of. But then Kazuya worships the ground she walks on and treats all of the other girls well, while Chizuru treats Kazuya like shit and abuses him both emotionally and financially. And there were several times he tried to end the lies and she refused to, including at the Hawaiians, which she then ghosted him out of nowhere afterwards. If she was a good person she would either make a decision or cut him loose already, waffling on her feelings and trying to have it both ways is selfish and cruel.
>>282505442The moral is a fool and their money are soon parted.
>>282530281He's extremely selfish about what he wants, also subconsciously petty and spiteful too. Remember he considers Ruka as someone worse than Mami, sees Kibe as a helpless retard, thinks of his grandma as a lunatic, his dad doens't register for him, neither his mom and looks at Kibe with a mix of pity and condescendence.Deep down, Kazuya is as bad as Chizuru, if not worse.
>>282530347>But then Kazuya worships the ground she walks on and treats all of the other girls well, Except Ruka... he barely tolerates her, and is growing resentful at her presence.>while Chizuru treats Kazuya like shit and abuses him both emotionally and financially.The same Kazuya does with Ruka... and worse because he manipulates her into doing things for him.
I don’t think there is a woman in the world who would want to mate with someone like Kazuya. Ruka doesn’t. Mami doesn’t. Mizuhara for sure doesn’t. Mini is playing him as a joke and Sumi is only interested in her job and doesn’t. Kazuya will in the end get old and die girlfriendless, with no respect from anyone, and a virgin. No woman will ever touch him. No woman will ever want to touch him. This…is his fate…
>>282530507Let's make it more tragic: to make things terminal... he isn't a Kinoshita by bloodline because Kazuo was infertile and Harumi, in a woman moment, got preggers with another person who disappeared. He is another victim of the unholy trinity of sperm.He is technically a miscalculation of the existence that shall be eradicated.
>>282530281>doesn't mind lying to his best friendsAnd his relationships involve Kibe's how? Have you seen how violent he gets? I wouldn't put it past Kazu to tell him to fuck off.>>282530347>abuses him financiallyChizuru tried to refund him and pay on his behalf multiple items>>282530507But enough about you.
>>282510007>"real human bean..."
>>282505442I actually does happen quite often in japan that a prostitute (or a kabajo or a underground idol) ends up with her biggest donor. So, Kazuya is not all wrong here, he was just unlucky his prostitute wants a career in showbiz
>>282530437>Except Ruka... he barely tolerates her, and is growing resentful at her presence.>The same Kazuya does with Ruka... and worse because he manipulates her into doing things for him.Not at all, Kazuya has made it 100% clear to Ruka that he is interested in Chizuru. She had to blackmail him into even letting her in his life. Ruka to Kazuya would be similar to Kazuya with Chizuru if Chizuru had told Kazuya she was in love with Umi multiple times and never kissed him or lead him on. She toys with Kazuya's emotions just enough to keep him on the leash and she knows exactly what she is doing.
>>282530637It would be more merciful if this character were hit by a truck immediately. Maybe then someone might actually care and he can be happy in another life but I doubt it.
She should fuck Umi at least once before settling down with a loser
>>282530695>I actually does happen quite often in japan that a prostitute (or a kabajo or a underground idol) ends up with her biggest donor.Or in the best case, they find someone that could carry their burdens, be trigger happy to go to hell trying to find the root of their issues and make them feel loved for what they are. But i guess the only instance for that is if the "lucky" one who gets the disgraced bitch is from the boonies. Japan Countryside is like paradise for women who want to commit social sudoku and vanish from public life. There's a reason jouhatsu services (people who help people to vanish from their old lives, bonds, relationships and jobs and make them start from zero in another place) are highly demanded in Japan
Kazuya is a super cute boy stuck in a manga with fucking whores
At the very least the lies should have ended. I don’t think these characters are particularly trustworthy if they are still lying to each other all the time. Maybe they shouldn't get together and save everyone the pain and effort from a failed relationship.
>>282530964I think you read too much Shonen no Abyss. IRL a relationship, especially in Japan, is way more similar to a business transaction: you bring money, i give you access to my pussy every now and then, we raise a family together and respect social norms. That's also the reason why going with a prostitute or host clubs are not that much of a big deal there.
>>282531073>IRL a relationship, especially in Japan, is way more similar to a business transaction: you bring money, i give you access to my pussy every now and then, we raise a family together and respect social norms.The tons of mangas that I read seem to imply otherwise.Spoiler:Everyone’s hornyBut well to look good for a mate you need money first no matter where you’re from.
>>282531073>IRL a relationship, especially in Japan, is way more similar to a business transaction: you bring money, i give you access to my pussy every now and then, we raise a family together and respect social norms.Isn't that a universal convention? I know there are exceptions (my parents... dad was an drunkard and crack drug addict, was suckering off from mom's money and shat on every social norm, mom didn't cuck him, but still kicked him out of the house, but stuck with him when he went to jail for a scene he made under alcohol and crack influence. He had to make a 180° degree turn if he wanted to be accepted again, but still sucked off mom's money and has some socially questionable behaviors, but abandoned alcohol and drugs).Anyway, getting into a relationship with a whore is a no no for me. Not because i don't have faith on them wanting to improve... but i am scaredshit of picking an STD. A cute jimiko is fine by me.
>>282505442how i hope, i really hope, this series ends with a full NTR scene, deflowered right in front of him
>>282530347>and treats all of the other girls wellHe ignored Mami's callHe only talks to Sumi and Mini if it's about Chizuru He is does everything above multiplied by 20 to Ruka
>>282531321(cont), in any case, if i quote some miserable mangas, is because they left a mark on me... especially from authors who use their stories to vent about their shit lifes. Still remember Sakura Tsuushin was my first misery-porn incest romcom after I''s and Shigatsu (a manga that i'm now appreciating a lot more because Katsura admitted he wanted to make Seto suffer) and left a bigger impression on me than... let's say, more optimistic series.
>>282515918This. I don't why these two can't just shack up together and forget all about her.
>>282510111>>282510122i like this shi chan girl.Kazuya should double cuck Umi and make her another romantic interest.
>>282531414>He ignored Mami's callAfter she was a total cunt to him, he was kind to her before she broke his heart and now he's avoiding her, theres nothing wrong with that.>He only talks to Sumi and Mini if it's about ChizuruHe helped Sumi with her anxiety issues and Mini is the one who pushes the Chizuru topic constantly>He is does everything above multiplied by 20 to RukaConsidering she is black mailing him into a fake relationship, I'd say he treats her pretty kindly. A lot of guys would have done or said something to break her heart by now.
>>282531685>shi chanYea, shigga may make up for a better fling for Kazuya than Umi.
>>282531414He liked Ruka's curry though. That was enough good boy points from him for the rest of year for her.
>>282531787>He liked Ruka's curry though. That was enough good boy points from him for the rest of year for her.Bc Rukek wasblackmailing him point blank in front of Chizuru.
>>282531717Irregardless of the circumstances he doesn’t deserve Ruka or her love so the point is moot. He should know better by now than to treat a woman like this and Chizuru can see it.
>>282531847Settling for someone you don't have feelings for isn't doing them a kindness.
>please... date me mizoohara
>>282531869Unless the victim finds out why the relentlessness of the girl into chasing him.Ruka's health issues can end sensibilizing Kazuya's heart.
>>282531869Neither is disrespecting them by using another woman behind their back and then lying to everyone about it.
I've never read a single chapter of this manga and don't know any of the plot details other than "Kazuya simps hard and spends all his money," "Kazuya gets a boner in the pool," and "Kazuya gets rejected because he did nothing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a woman."That being said I love these threads and I hope they keep happening. This manga and its readers are comedy gold.
>>282531994>>282531966Ruka knew the entire situation before she even forced her way into it, she is in no way a victim.
>>282532017>she is in no way a victimI was talking about Kazuya's status in that shit.Ruka was always a perpetrator on this.
>>282505563>There was no edit in this>Actual lines Kazuya will snap Chizuru's neck?
>>282528828Okay, I like One Piece and Madoka, sadly they arent popular like your trash :(
THE LORD MIYAJIMA
>>282532059Kazuya hasn't done anything wrong to Ruka that she didn't beg/force him to do.
>>282532113
>>282532017Ruka doesn’t know how close he is with Mizuhara. He agreed to a relationship with her no matter how it was done and to do…this? Ruka’s trust was violated, she is a victim, and for his sins Kazuya should jump off a bridge and let both of those women get together with real men over his dead worthless corpse. I hope he gets into a car crash trying to practice impressing Mizuhara because it’s what he deserves.
>>282532158This is just pure delusion. Kazuya owes NOTHING to Ruka. Not his love, not information about what he is doing or who he is spending time with, nothing. She forced him into a fake relationship knowing he doesn't want it. He didn't agree to it, she blackmailed him and forced it, she has no right to complain about what he does or who he gets close to.

>>282505563CHIZURUKEK ME WITH A FRENCHMAN AND MY WALLET IS YOURS

>>282532553why do you faggots always have to include niggers? despite what kike propaganda says, it is widely known that nogs are the least desirable group among all women groups
>>282532092"You are My Rental Girlfriend no longer"
The guy should just snap and rape her, that would be an appropriate ending for this shit manga
>>282533412Yes and it would be even better if after he does that there are no legal consequences for it because she is a prostitute and it’s just a service that he paid for
>>282531717>After she was a total cunt to himYeah but he still considers her a friend and he forgives her>He helped Sumi with her anxiety issuesHe didn't do anything he just took her into a couples of dates just to ask for help for the whole Chizuru situation >Considering she is black mailing him into a fake relationshipThat implies that she is currently doing that which is false which leads us to the fact that Kazuya keeps dating her for no real reason, also he was already a dickhead towards her before she blackmailed her and funnily enough the whole situation sprung out just because he had to keep being so pushy with a complete stranger at the time
I think Kazuya is suffering from a real mental illness.I think Chizuru is suffering from a real mental illness.I think everyone is suffering from a real mental illness.This is a mental illness manga and at this rate they are never going to get better. The conditions are quite severe with literally every character and heroine exhibiting signs of mental illness. I’m not going to understate it, I believe everyone needs therapy.
>>282532301She didn't force a relationship she only wanted a trial period, in any moment Kazuya could have said that he didn't love her and it would fall under their contract but instead he acts like a dickhead towards her even though he only conceded because Chizuru asked him
>>282533761>She didn't force a relationship she only wanted a trial periodEeeeehhhhh. Seems you skipped to the part where Ruka made a scene in the streets. She was at first pushing for a full fleshed relationship.
Kazuya: Fear of rejection, Anxiety, maybe ADHD, quite possibly schizo.Chizuru: Inability to choose a man for fear of making a wrong choice. Would generally stick with something worse because the alternative of looking for something better is the end of the world for her.Ruka: A soulless robot who discovered feelings for the first time and is now addicted to it.Sumi: Social disorderMini: OCD. “She HAS to get with master or else my mind can’t physically and emotionally take it!”.Takes pictures and videos at random to satisfy her compulsion.Mami: Depression episodes, tends to wear a mask to hide her true feelings until it breaks.Umi: Low self esteem, possibly thinks he is not good enough or tends to think the worst out of a bad or unpleasant situation.
>>282533095Reminder you're citing stats from a 20 year old dating website. No one uses dating sites anymore, just casual hookup apps.
I thought about it and Kazuya is lucky Ruka doesn’t care that she gets cucked. She would actually end up supporting it if it meant she gets to still be his girlfriend.
>>282534461>maybe ADHDHow? If something, he's obsessively stubborn and autistically focused when something for Mizuhara's sake gets on his mind.About the schizo part, yes.
>>282505563GOOOOOOOOODS
>>282510629Why does this look like an actual leaked page from the manga?? I'm so confused
>>282535510Although his memory is generally good he pretty much forgets Ruka is his girlfriend every time Mizuhara Chizuru shakes her flat ass. Like Mami said he’s crazy. That wasn’t her putting him down that was stating a fact.
>>282530768This.
>>282505442>What is the moral of Rent a girlfriend?Don't fall for this shit
>>282535722because the author made it for his patreons.
>>282505442Isn’t this basically what traditional marriage is? You pay for a wife who is only with you for financial security. You didn’t think women just like you for your shining personality, right? Why do you hate traditional marriage all of a sudden?
>>282537361at least marriage you get to have children and other things, with chizuru you pay but you get nothing in exchange, not sex, not kisses, no holding hands, not seeing her naked, nothing at all.
>>282537361Traditional marriage has romantic partners together as a union for money, status, and/or to fulfill their love life. This is more like a scam that preys on vulnerable men.

>>282505442Kanokari is an experiment in self-hatred. The author, reader and main character all experience this feeling together as they go down a path of willful and deserved self destruction.

Zuru sees Kuzu hasn't neither a micron of interest in dating her and decides to tell Kuri about Zuru hoping he could get his hopes up, tries to escape from behind so Ruka doesn't spot him, trips, Ruka realizes he was running away from her despite of injuring himself his back. His willpower to go after Kuri is far greater than his pain and he engages, but Ruka throws herself over him not letting him escape, threatening him to expose Zuru (part you skipped).>Kuzu dogezas and firmly rejects Ruka, even telling her to hate him if she wants, but things are just as how they are (and hides an ambiguous thought about Mizuhara). (Part you skipped)>Ruka begins to cry and make a scene about herself, here's where she begins to negotiate with Kuzu abt the type of relationship (trial). A couple of highschoolers begin to throw shade at Kuzu for making a girl vry, Zuru sees the situation is gettinout of hands and resorts to tell Kuzu to go out with her, and makes him reason about that bc it was gonna be a trial after all(to save her ass)Let's be honest, as much as Kuzu is a piece of shit towards her, he has all the rights to be so. He's the victim on this.
>>282541193You skipped the part where the only reason as to why she trips is because Kazuya keep following her just to make sure his retarded secret wouldn't be exposed (which he had no reason to suspect that), not to mention that it was impossible for her to know that Kuri would take it that badly and Ruka only makes a scene because Kazuya tried to escape behind her back, which doesn't even make sense because he could have rejected her and go to Kuri and confess, and finally he can just leave at any time but chooses not to because he's just that selfish
>>282527204It's a misery porn from this point
>>282510189It would be funny if Reiji decided to go back to the driving school B plot instead of continuing on from here.
>>282527446>What about Ruka?What about her?
dropping this shit after the pool debacle was the best thing I've done in years
>>282541746You missed the Yakuza arc and the JAV arc
>>282512122>Author be like>LOL!! How can these retards keep falling for this!?!? What moronsJoke's on him. Nobody outside of his masochistic paypigs in Japan are buying this slop. Making fun of this trash manga is free entertainment for me, everyone else here and for most of the rest of the manga-reading world.
>>282542140Yep, Reji feels safe because he's still getting good sales and the anime is like a protective cover, I wanna see him start squirming when the axe starts loomimg over head with no new anime season to stop it
The moral of the story is that Kazuya deserves everything bad that happens to him for not chose Ruka
>>282537361Either Japanese or americuck, funny how its hard to tell
New Purple turd chappy in a few hours Seems Arata and the sisters went to a Pijama party at the bitch, shit, i meant beach, yet the chapter begins with Nayuta seeing the moment as if it was a harem romcom.
>>282543719Forgot pichttps://x.com/shiunjifamily/status/1971122508754469031?t=j06VlyNzsLw0SrTzsGmnyQ&s=19
>>282542439Choosing Ruka is the bad ending because he doesn't love her
>>282544074yet
>>282544074The problem with Ruka is that Kazuya is to Ruka who Chizuru is to Kazuya, so if Ruka can't win Kazuya neither can Kazuya win Chizuru.
>>282542140Reiji got to drown in money by ragebaiting retards for years, his reaction when the gravy train stops will probably be "about time it happened"
>>282505442You can get away with anything as long as you're cute.
Seriously, how long does this even have left? 394 chapters is fucking nuts.
>>282544417the reagebaited retards don't buy his manga/merch and as the Ruka crowdfunder showed even the loser girl fags are giving him their money
>>282544500I think that's the wrong question. The story can go indefinitely and it doesn't really seem as if magazine has any hard limits. The question is how long Reiji is willing to do it, neither He or Miki seem to be even thinking about ending their series.
>>282544812Probably less than 8 volumes to work on. The goal is still 50 volumes with the setting never moving on past college. Story ends when they graduate.
>>282544908>Story ends when they graduate.naive, the college setting barely matters to the story, it's not like in High school romcoms that you are restricted by 3 years. We already have Kazuya thinking about a job, Chizuru getting more roles. It could go past college with ease.
>>282545039It could but it’s the author’s wish to end it around that point. Probably because he will eventually run out of ideas to prolong his nightmare and have to settle on a ship eventually but whatever.
>>282543719>>282543750Because it is.
>>282544074That's just Kazuya having shit taste
>>282543750Even Kotono is having 4th wall awareness which means she surely is starting to suspect it isn't possible for her to be the main heroine.
>>282505442>Is she into you? Yeah it's hard to tell, you can never really be sure.
>>282546827Chizuru’s inability to decide between 2 men with girlfriends is causing her grief.
>>282538254Having sex will make you happier than just spending time with a woman for money.
>>282546827Say whatever you want about the anime but at least the promos look really good
>>282505563GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
>>282546827>Zuru tugging Kuzu's tie whilst drunk.They sure do belong to each other. Both garbage people that should vanish from public life.
>>282549247It's ironic that they belong to each other not for their good qualities or because they woul be a good match, but because that way they can't harm others kek
>>282544344That's not how that works, Chizuru has already admitted she likes Kazuya and Kazuya obviously likes her, the only thing stopping a relationship between Chizuru and Kazuya is Chizuru's own insecurties whereas Kazuya straight up does not love Ruka.
>>282546933But she's only into Kazuya? There's no other guy.
>>282550480>Chizuru has already admitted she likes KazuyaNo she hasn’t. She has skirted around her words but to this point has never admitted it.
I'm still waiting for Chizuru's deadbeat dad to show up and for rape namek to start where he rapes her, eventually Kazuya will need to go to Umi for help so they can beat him and save Chizuru, cue training montage Rocky style and they go to confront El Padre who is "strong" at first Umi and Kazuya have the upperhand but then El Padre uses demonsbane on Umi, the first blow destroys Umi's beret which removes his "shield" and the second blow is fatal because Umi can't go limp in time to migate the damage, as Umi lays dying he encourages Kazuya to fight on proclaiming he was the kanokari all along, Kazuya defeats El Padre with a last minute assist from Kevin Nash, Kazuya blacks out from exhaustion to find himself in a hospital bed with Chizuru clutching his hand and then they finally become a couple, the final panel is them hugging and kissing with a shot of Kevin Nash and Umi watching from the clouds.
>>282550711But she did admit it though? Anyway the point being, Ruka's situation with Kazuya is not at all like Kazuya's situation with Ruka, Ruka/Kazuya is completely one-sided, Kazuya at his best has only considered her a backup option, which is to say he doesn't love her and only wants to use her if it comes down to it.
>>282550820*Kazuya's situation with Chizuru
>>282550820>I don’t not like him>I *might* love youThese are not confessions. She is just breadcrumbing to keep her “nice guy” within orbit.
>>282550944That's certainly alot more than Ruka has ever gotten.
>>282550999Just wait 'till her heart collapses and Kazuya finds out about her illness
>>282550480>the only thing stopping a relationship between Chizuru and Kazuya is Chizuru's own insecurtiesmore like chizuru wanting more money from not doing shit.
>>282551431I don't know if it's only about money, but yes, the main reason for rejecting him is that she likes the rental job more than him
Reiji once said something about their relationship being like a boat crossing the ocean overcoming many obstacles to get to their destination. To Get Together Land. Little does he know the boat is turned 90 degrees heading the wrong way.
>>282551294Kazuya will probably go see her and then break things on, telling Ruka to focus on getting better, finally setting himself free from her.
>>282552036He will end killing her if he does that.
Kanobros...Even with limited editions, sales couldn't recover. Tomorrow we should get the 1st week figures for vol. 42.Besides, the 14 million copies shit is worldwide.
>>282550723Papa Ichinose arc will be covered in ch467.
>>282550723Why would Kevin Nash help Kazuya?
>>282552858Forgot the chart.Vol. 41 barely reached 35k between regular and SE after 4 weeks.
>>282552858the 14 millions is the total ammount sold worldwide, which is quite low for something so hyped out specially when you consider it has 41 volumes.
>>282553124Quality over quantity
>>282553057Oh shit this might actually be the end times. After Vol 50 hits the magic of the axe will finally be witnessed.
>>282553407SAVE US AXEMAN
>>282553057So it completely plateaued now at the level vol. 1 was. Basically only devoted fans are still reading it and everyone that picked it up over time already dropped it.
>>282553057>>282553407So basically, it's looking like Reji will start sweating when this series stops getting new anime season as sales plummet?
>>282553332sadly it doesn't even have quality or quantity... kek.
>>282553485The axe pressure could be hitting him now. 5 chapters left in the 45th tankoubon, basically if he wants to hit 50 volumes he needs to survive for 50 more chapters.
>>282553845>he needs to survive for 50 more chapters.Considering the worries he shared recently about something happening that fans wouldn't like, hasn't he fucked himself? Unless he releases an emergency kiss between Kazuya and Chizuru or something then what can be done?
>>282551698Chizuru deserves rape and Kasuya deserves to die aloneBoth characters are terrible and deserve only the worst outcomes
>>282553051It's the natural conclusion to his character arc, how else is he going to redeem himself after what happened in the summer of 1992?
>>282553884It will be beyond fucked. Chizuru will reveal she has been dating Umi this whole time. Umi wanted her to go out with Kazuya in order to tempt him as the ultimate test for her acting skills. However Chizuru begins to feel guilty about this and wants eagerly to drop the project, hence her panicked reaction as of the latest chapter. Umi, disappointed, will lash at her as a last ditch attempt to keep her line. Chizuru will try to resist this and will be determined to longer lie to Kazuya anymore. The “Drawing the Line” in the title refers to refusing to play along in this facade. In the end she was always “a girlfriend for hire”, playing the perfect role to fit Kazuya’s taste.(stolen from reddit)
>>282554176jesus christ
>>282554176You'd have to rewrite the whole thing to make it even plausible.
>>282553884>Considering the worries he shared recently about something happening that fans wouldn't like, hasn't he fucked himself?Get ready for kanokari becoming a sub 10k the 1st week series soon.
>>282554176Or Chizuru, because of her extremely poor choices and decisions of remaining a prostitute actress and treating men like they are disposable income, gets violated. And Kazuya and friends have to save-the-hoe again. Chizuru isn’t the most likable person no matter how her beauty is constantly played out.
>>282553057What happened in the Vol. 18?
>>282554781Season 1 and manga being on the cheer up rental date arc.
>>282554781granny died
>>282505442>What is the moral of Rent a girlfriend?Genuinely it's that if you like someone who is below your league you should stop trying to justify it and just ask him out.
>>282553485He'll go social mangaka and resume the rough draft sneak peaks, will begin to do self marketing of the volumes through twitter doodles, give blurbs of the weekly chapter during release day... and give the last 5 announcement when it has to come.
>>282555133but is what he has done always.>post on twitter>post on patreon
>>282505442That renting is good for you.
Before 379 this was a light-hearted comedy romance manga. Now it has turned into more of a suspense/thriller. Is this an apt take?
>>282555650It’s supposed to be a love comedy but ended up as a tragedy. A shame. I thought it was pretty good until it shit the bed.
>>282554994>granny dies>sales start to go downI guess we figured out who the best girl is (was)
>>282555712Look at where it had its biggest drop and tell me that volume wasn’t a mistake.
>>282555650It’s more of a belongs in the trash manga.
A thread full of housewives (male)
>>282556030Nah this is the breadwinner’s corner.
>>282555650It's misery porn for shounenbabbies since ch50.
>>282555780I don't know the content just by the number of the volume but let me guess, it's the pool sucks dream
>>282556917Vol. 23 was released barely weeks before 218, but after 213.It's clear as water Chizuru running away from Kazuya at the church made readers abandon in masse.
Mami should have been the protagonist
>>282553057Seems the last sharp decline was between vols. 38 and 39, iirc, those who buy the tanks (zurugoris) resented the training date arc.
>>282555595But this time not for paid platforms (fanbox), but for free.Reiji never did vol. release countdown doodles or digital postcard bonuses for the digital releases in selected platforms. He shsll take advantage of DMM Manga, LINE manga and other services.
>>282556917The drops tell you exactly when it starts to become garbage and it’s really hilarious it hasn't stopped falling until very recently. We should thank Mini for saving this series.
>>282558581Stopped falling just because the latest volume before 42 had a special edition and an anime season.The event Reiji said will end up causing the fatal decline.
Chizuru would never chastise Umi for complimenting her. That’s all I’m going to say.
>>282513151>nothing but cope
>>282538143>Angewomon>hottest woman of all timeShe doesn't even crack top 100. She's ok don't get me wrong, but Chizuru is literally the hottest woman of all time in anime.
>>282559314>Chizuru would never chastise Umi for complimenting her.Because she doesn't give a damn about the words she gives her, she hears them all the time in her rental dates. With Kazuya its different since she has a closer connection to him.
kanokari fags are coping really hard.
>>282559404Sounds like she doesn’t give a damn about Kazuya desu.
>>282559404>With Kazuya its different since she has a closer connection to him.Pffffftttttttttt... hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>282559519She doesn't care about anyone, not even her grandma
>>282561498I think in her own way she does. But she has mental problems not even a romance will solve. She hurt Umi’s feelings and she’s hurting Kazuya for no reason she should step back and think about what she’s done before opening her mouth and making the problems worse.
>>282561918I don't think she cares but she can notice that that's wrong, kinda like a sociopath (not saying that she's one) she definitely has emotional issues and struggles to express them tho
>>282562462It’s not that she struggles expressing I believe, it’s the way she expresses. I think she has genuine mental disorders. Past chapters suggest she’s definitely not right in the head.
>>282555650>this was a light-hearted comedy romance mangathe subject matter is very dark
>>282555650It was always both, the movie, especially hawaiians, and the date were all suspense.
>>282559314>Chizuru would never chastise Umi fortrue, but it's not about Umi:Chizuru would only chastise Kazuya, he is the only one who gets to experience her bitchy personality, to everyone else she is perfect.
>the thread is heading into its 4th day
Can someone explain the appeal of this series to me? I can't get past the premise of a dude simping for a rental girl.
>>282568101The supposed appeal is the comedy and cute girls, unfortunately at some point the comedy became somewhat mean-spirited towards the MC to the point some don't think it's funny anymore and some think it's straight up pathetic.
>>282568368>pathetic It is an understatement. Didn't the author make that panel of him getting hard while imagining the girl getting railed?
Kanobros...https://x.com/al_mavivi/status/1971422205432226294?t=V-8pNaq2qTlTF5UWbkEkhg&s=19>Shonen Magazine releases of September, 5 days sales:>5. Mokushiroku 23 — 23 249>10.

>>282568101It's cuck shit and humiliation fuel for micropenis japs that love feeling miserable
>>282557552Fuck, imagine how different the story would be if Mami was trying to save Kazuya from Chizuru's golddigging ways
The moral is that the author needs to somehow keep the manga going because it's still making money. In a way, he is the rent a girlfriend and you, the reader, are the simp.
>>282568991Maybe the real Rent a Girlfriend were the friends we made along the way
>>282505442I never really followed Kanokari.Why doesn't Kazuya just give Ruka a chance? From what I heard, she's all over him.
>>282569401Bad 1st impression (she found out the true and threatened to expose them. If she had a 180° turn towards Kazuya, it was because he saved her from falling downstairs, but he didn't that for her, but for Kuri's sake).Kazuya having stubborn feelings for other person.Her being not his type. Even though this can be explained because Kazuya has a low opinion of himself and can't imagine himself being loved. Shit people tends to associate with people who are as shit as, or shittier than him.And last and most important, he doesn't trust her and considers Ruka as someone more dangerous than Mami.
>>282515028Because of the implication.
Where’s the 5ch comments on the latest developments?
>>282569401>>282569461Also Ruka used to pull some shit like demanding 20 texts from him every day or something? I'd run too
>>282505442>What is the moral of Rent a girlfriend?Idk, "you can't buy love"? Except you kinda can, but it wouldn't work even if Kazuya was a billionaire. Not because he's so pathetic that even billions couldn't outweigh his flaws, but because Chorizo is so fucking autistic that NOTHING works. So I guess the real moral is "don't chase autists, know when to quit".
>>282569537>Also Ruka used to pull some shit like demanding 20 texts from him every day or something? I'd run tooWeakling
>>282569839Bruh, hope you experience a shit like that. It's exhausting af.
>>282568415That chapter was amazing because after realizing she NTRed him he was finally able to give up his obsessive simp ways.
>>282505442Just replace video game with manga/anime.
>>282569571>"don't chase autists, know when to quit".The story is painting Kazuya as someone whose stubborness is becoming clinical.I'm seeing his story shaping up into a tragedy out of growing up in the worst way and the only way to twist the end into a happy one is if the autismal finally does something.
>>282569909Kek. After hawaiians, he became a lost cause. She's his only world, to the point of starting to become resentful at the one who loves him, because he sees her as an obstacle for his "ambitions".
>>282569571This, the entire manga is a cautionary tale about sunken cost fallacy. None of the characters are good for each other, but they are stuck in the same manga together. True character development would be to move away, leave this fucked up scene and its fucked up people and take up an apprenticeship in carpentry or something like that.
>>282569992Imagine being Ruka being content with talking to a corpse all day about useless shit your friend or your mom said to you or whatever. All while knowing whatever action you do sends his cock into further dysfunction.
>>282570073He's having a scorched-earth stare there.One more disappointment, and he may end lashing out at someone he'll end up regretting crashing out.
>>282570124This was after his incel rant right? If she mentioned “her” here he might’ve lost it.Good thing she still thinks she’s the only girl he interacts with since Hawaiians.
>>282510629I'd LOL if dat shit habbenz.DnK vietnam flashbacks 2 where Hina was schliking thinking on Shu.
>>282570450>Women Kazuya saw behind Ruka’s back since she “claimed” him>Chizuru>Mini>Sumi>MamiIf he isn’t the best bullshitter I don’t know who is.

>>282570073>guy wanta to be literally anywhere else and doesn't give a shit about partner's day>girl is overly invested in a guy who wants to trade upThat's just marriage!
>>282570450Kazuya's incel rant happened at the beginning of the series tho.Unless you were talki g about Mini's femcel rant.
>>282570710He's an actual shit person. If Chizuru finds out Kazuya chose to be cruel to Ruka, she'll definitely get wet for him because he chose to corrupt himself for love. Bring himself down to Chizuru's level, emotionally speaking. The scum becoming a turd simply to be at the turd league. A reminder people would rather taint their hands, either physical or metaphorical, out of their primal fear of being hurt/rejected.
>>282505442>>282527502Popochichi (Yahiro Pochi)] is single handedly carrying this dogshit IP
Ruka a shit
>>282569907I was half joking but just tell her to calm down with the messages, it would definitely work with Ruka at the very least
>>282570881I think he means when Kazuya was drunk and he ranted about girls to Mini>>282570877>>282569992This nigger has one of the cutest girl ever actively interested on him and talking about her life and he goes full zbie mode because he misses his favorite emotionally stunned whore, I could at least respect him if he cut ties with Ruka but noooooooo, he has to keep dating her because...uhmmmmm
When’s the last time becoming a better man actually worked? Usually the girl just falls for him automatically anyways.
>>282572975Maybe the better man you wanted to become was you all along.
>>282572975When you actually tackle serious shit like gambling addiction or not commiting to the relationship
>>282573022ganbare, boston anon
>>282573022What's the context?
>>282574082mail ad or somethingA real person didn’t write this.
>>282557552Mommy saved the day she deserved a better outcome.
>>282574538Lmao Chizuru faceShe mad lol
>>282575529She’s mad that she finally has to face the consequences of her actions for once.
I really hope Chizuru does something to break Kazuya's heart and Mami somehow sees or finds out about it and instead of teasing or crushing Kazuya further while he's down she goes full scorched earth on Chizuru.
Someone will go down alright.
>>282576245I doubt it would happen but she would definitely pit both of them against each other
what mental issues does mami have?
>>282510320kek
>>282578290Lack of freedom, disillusionment, betrayal, heartbreak.
>>282578564what did kazuya do to steer her in such a way? it feels like she is the one obsessed with him :^)
>>282578290Daddy issues, depression, bipolar disorder, masking, social media addict, compulsive liar, and schizophrenia.
>>282544908That doesn’t sound like anything he’s ever said in the past. He wants 100+ volumes and he wants the story to go through their 20s as far as I’m aware.
>theme of Super Guy Jin Yooooo
>>282559314Shouldn’t have said anything then because it means nothing. She hears those pickup lines daily and understands how hollow they are, and she wouldn’t like if Kazuya started to spew them out as well.But again, just because Chizuru likes that Kazuya’s the type who means what he says, it doesn’t actually mean anything.
>>282578290BPD
>>282578594Generational trauma due to Papa Nanami, and resentment towards true love due to being forced into arranged marriage.Apparently her family is like yakuza level of scary that made her first bf run for the hills.Somehow Kazuya reminds her of youthful freedom that she had lost, so she latches onto that.She probably needs a final push to say big fuck you to her family and arranged fiance, it will be her big wake up into maturity and independence.
>>282579687Or it's quite possible that Toru (mr. fiance) is the one with yakuza-level connections, given how distressed the Dad seems. Either way it'd be impressive if even Niwatori thought this far into this.
>>282579687wait i actually forgot about that stuff since the early chapters was a millennia ago
>>282579687holy fuck, Kazuya must protect Mami chan at any cost. chorizo dumped his ass so Mami chan must be comforted
>>282579687I was about to bring up her abortion too but it was actually a miscarriage. I remembered it wrong.
>>282580615Kazuya can't even save himself and you expect him to save Mami? lol
