NOTE: This video was made and prepared before season 3 was out. I just finished editing it last week. Meaning, the season 3 part of the series is still in the manga on this video. And idk if all of on the manga will be included in the anime adaptation. That’s it. Hope you enjoy the video. EDIT: I stand corrected. Apparently, sharing bathwater is pretty normal in Japan. So that's ignorance on my part but in my defense... Kazuya was still pretty weird about it tho. Bro was about to be baptized with the bathwater 💀
If this series, A. ended after the movie arc and with them getting together and live happily ever after or, B. had them get together after the movie arc and went from there with their developing relationship It would've been good. Instead the author chose: C. Make all of the progress continuously reset to nothing especially Kazuya returning to his simp behavior and Chizuru trying to avoid his confession and make it go on forever so he can keep milking this series for money forever.
How the heck does that author think, he do not even care of readers. But it still a painfull anime, and as a "psychopathe" i think that i kinda love this🙄
The Movie arc is a prime example of throwing enough shit at a wall that some of it sticks, or a broken clock being right twice a day. Bro had a genuine stroke of genius half way through but caught himself making actual good content and corrected that mistake, putting us right back into the circle of hell that is Rent a Girlfriend. If Kazuya was based he'd've cut all contact with both Mami and Ruka and not regressed to being a total simp and turbo loser the moment the only good arc in the entire series ended.
@@SabeNo-rh7mbnope even more degenerate than that, in the manga kazuya literally spends a shit ton of money to make movie to have chizaru as an actress for it 💀
As an amateur author it fills me with an indescribable sense of glee knowing that no matter how poor my writing is I'll never write a protagonist more cringe than Kazuya 😂
Bro, I'm only 7 minutes in so far and this is already some of the funniest and most cathartic shit I've ever seen on RUclips. Like, you slay that acceptable target, king!
mini yaemori is the only character in this whole show to ACTUALLY progress the plot 💀💀💀I fr just hope that in season 4 in the anime adaptation, i just hope that they undo that scene in the manga where kazuya fantasizes about chizuru doing the dirty with other men and delete that part in the show and just leave it in the manga.
Literally anime adaptation should just ignore that stupid shit and let it simply skip to the reveal of truth and love confesion and after that make up normal ending where chizuru doesnt ghost kazuya and they finally are official. THE END. NO NEED TO MILK THIS FUTHER
@@SmallPotato2313 If you think about it, Yaemori isn't actually well-written at all. She's a clunky plot device used to move the story along to new scenarios, and the fact that she at least briefly stops the boredom is the primary reason she's likeable.
top-tier rant, the series really should've ended with the movie arc, though you do have a point that the confession in the paradise arc would've fit as the series' ultimate climax
The more people analyse rent a girlfriend serie, the more I feel like the author is doing whatever he wants, without any restrictions, rules or boundries. Like the manga is his sandbox, he can make his characters whatever he wants them to do. But he is like wandering, not going somewhere, or on a expected path/goal. Long story short, Rent a girlfriend feels like a patchwork of different things, themes, ideas, but they don't fit all together. Thus there are holes here and there, making the whole thing fragile and unstable.
I think the problem people have is that on par and better shows get axed while this has 300+ episodes and 3 seasons. And his other work is getting animated too with the step siblings.
So essentially the manga/show is a waste of time to complete because it ultimately goes no where. It has nothing to say, no themes or messages to learn other than don't be a collosal retard simp.
This is barely a romantic comedy. This is a rom-com tragedy. If you frame it right, watching a dumpster fire isn't all bad. Why do we deserve an MC with character growth? Why not have a perpetual garbage character screwing up everything around him in depraved and pathetic ways? Some people don't grow, and honestly, I find that so much more realistic.
rent- a-girlfriend always fills a spot in my life, a trashy spot No matter how bad or depressed I feel, I can always watch/read Rent-A-Girlfriend for a couple hours and walk away feeling”wow, at least I’m not as bad as *those* idiots”
The decision to revert Kazuya & Chizuru back to their Season 1 state is the most cynical thing I've seen any work of fiction do since the showrunners for Game of Thrones decided to end the show early & botched Season 8's ending just so they could go work on Star Wars sooner.
The first season looked promising to me. Second was okay too. It was after that, i started expecting story development, but it didn’t. Maybe that’s what made it into bad list, but maybe it was meant to be like that. Thus, it didn’t felt bad to me. Although Kazuya traits, prolonged self sabotage & no character development did triggered a little.
Rent-a-Girlfriend audience: "Holy shit, this is the worst garbage ever put to paper!" Sasugu Kei's and Seo Kouji's manga audience: "...First time?" ...to be fair though, Rent-a-Girlfriend is actually worse.
Everything I know about this series is exclusively from RUclips videos, and I think I will keep it that way. There are better ways to explore this premise of a fake couple developing a real connection. It seems like there really was no reason for this Kazuya to regress in such... spectacular fashion.
This manga really is just a poor old man's version of Nisekoi (and not a very good one either) Sorry you had to go through so much trauma 😔 wish you speed recovery 🙏
thank you for this video, I feel like I was missing something when hearing about Rent a Girlfriend from other creators, and you explained everything so well, ESPECIALLY the movie arc, that it was something ACTUALLY GOOD, but then went downhill
I feel like the name alone gives away the quality immediately. I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but when the name of your anime is point blank, no subtitle, “Rent-A-Girlfriend” I’ve already come to my conclusions. It just screams and shouts, “Writers poorly disguised fetish,” right in my face. Edit: That was the biggest 180 and backwards 180 I have ever seen an anime/manga series do.
i think the concept of renting a girlfriend or simply renting x person in general is definitely the saddest thing someone could have come up with next to vtubers
8:25 imagine dating for a job a lot of people, and thinking that the loser stalker with a terrible dating record is the best option to be the "social tutor" of a shy girl. The author here definitely didn't write Chizuru as mature.
35:12 I don't know if you just misunderstood or simply didn't read the pages before? It is Japan, and it is intentional. The bathtub is for soaking. It is normal to reuse the tub water for family members. You are supposed to wash before getting in the tub, which Kazuya did. Chizuru even asked if Kazuya wanted to share the tub water after she and Mini. I think the chapter means that Chizuru is treating Kazuya like a family member.
Idk about y'all but if ruka confessed to me I'm saying yes, plus this is just me but she's the better girl in my opinion well so far better looking too, after the first season with no romance development with chizuru I would have been with ruka
I was honestly surprised to see unironic fans of the anime, then again if they are anime-only they are blissfully ignorant of what's to come when 218 is animated in its full cringy glory. Also, the mangaka is REALLY weird about Chizuru, like despite being married with kids IRL, he goes on dates with and takes photos of a cardboard cutout of her instead of his wife and also had a sweepstakes campaign to go on a date with her or something and he entered it HIMSELF and WON, like he's down BAD for his own creation to the detriment of his ACTUAL wife.
i always try to forget chapter 218 ever happened so i can tell myself if i continue readying its will somehow get better and we going to get a movie arc pt.2
Nah Mami is so real for all of all of that, I want her to keep tormenting Kazuya. She literally appeared every few chapters in the manga, went "I'm gonna do something" and then did nothing. Just to stir up drama. I stopped reading the manga when the author LITERALLY said "huge development in the next chapter!" And what happened in the next chapter? Nothing! And after that? Still nothing! I read like 4 or 5 more chapters and nothing happened so yea. And that was year ago, still nothing has changed its just as bad.
Chapter 218 should ATLEAST be removed from the anime if Season 4 comes. And the chapters after the Hawaii arc kind of try to progress their relationship and it is visible. So I guess if we look at the positive side maybe it is not that bad after all. And as well you did a good job analysing the series!
I honestly think they should just take all the good bits from the “investigation saga”, put them before the water resort arc and then have chapters 227-230 be the climax of the series.
this is a great review! I love how instead of pointing out how dogshit the anime/manga is (it’s deserved), you actually pointed out some good redeeming qualities and moments about the anime/manga!
I hope they stop the anime at the film arc. Also I am a huge fan of Kazuya and Rumi being BFFs like the girl is the genuinely sweet and supportive wing (wo)man Kazuya needs in order to rehabilitate himself…but that’s going to explode in our faces.
Why does this Mami dresses up as our girlboss sweetheart “if elegance was a person” miss Tomoe Mami from Madoka Magica? No really. Wait this Mami is also a blonde…….Charlotte wants her cheese~ Honestly since I brought up Madoka Magica, damn even Homura is not what much of a creep about her feelings as Kazyua is….. and you know what sh** Homura does just because she’s gay.
3:25 Yeah I think it was around the beach episode that I got really fed up with this series and threw it out the window and used it as target practice. 6:40 WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME OF THAT SERIES?!!!! NOW I'M JUST A DAMN MESS!!!
I just realized... (Manga spoilers) We are now way into the real date arc. This video was released 9 Month ago... So in 9 month there was only a little bit of progress (compared to where we stood at the end of the movie arc) and this slow pace is still ongoing... I only read the manga when I find time to do and catch up then. I really got used to that snail pace and did not even realize... Im I a frog on a cooking pot?
Good lord. I put myself through some suffering when enjoying some media before, but.... absolute yikes. This was much worse than I was led to believe. You did good work,. I'm subbing because that was just pain to hear.
I liked the first season of this show, then my interest in it fizzled out because I thought the story would end at the first story, and I also hated how creepy Kazuya was.
I'm glad I only watched Season 1, and a few clips of Seasons 2 and 3 of Rent-a-Girlfriend. The Movie Arc was the best part of this whole series if I'm honest. That arc also shows me that the author is capable of having his characters grow with the right story line, but chooses not to do any of that.
Honestly, this was such a satisfying moment to hear this because im not joking but I stopped at season 1 of the anime BECAUSE of Kazuya and the stupid situations that could’ve been solved through communication so hearing that it gets worse is simply a W for me
the idea would’ve actually been goated but the mangaka sold so hard on this, having the “running out of money” and “the grandmas and everyone around them finding out that he is in fact still a loser degen and in fact is just renting her” would’ve been so fire as some stakes if they didn’t fuck up the entirety of the story and any chance of kazuya having growth, it could’ve been actually good if the mc actually developed as a character from a degen loser basement dweller to an actually decent human being but literally nothing happens for 300+ chapters and it makes me sad 😭
Also, I gotta say, the Ruka slsnder is a bit much brother. Yes, it's unwarranted, especially since there are people better than Kazuya for her, but she's basically doing the exact same shit he does to others
You got me, it´s true, but still being a fun anime if you suport a little bit a cringe (a lot in the first few chapters), and have very sentimental scenes in 2nd n 3rd season, it's not great but it´s not that bad
I was a suppirter of this manga till 218. Like seriously if you want the good shit, read up til 217 then stop. Like for your own mental health and well being just stop.
NOTE: This video was made and prepared before season 3 was out. I just finished editing it last week. Meaning, the season 3 part of the series is still in the manga on this video. And idk if all of on the manga will be included in the anime adaptation. That’s it. Hope you enjoy the video.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Apparently, sharing bathwater is pretty normal in Japan. So that's ignorance on my part but in my defense...
Kazuya was still pretty weird about it tho. Bro was about to be baptized with the bathwater 💀
You know what the one that made chapter 218 where Kazuya was imaging chizuru embracing him in the same bath water you need therapy big time
The character development 📈📈📈📈📉📉📉📉📉📉📈📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉
Down down down (it fell)

Bad Hollywood director moment
It’s still going so it’s C
Reiji: Hello, I like money.
"This Kazuya is a complete 180,,, no wait, a complete 165 degrees" my sides dude, great humor in this video!
Hear me out: Rent A Girlfriend is Scott Pilgrim if it was 10x longer and Scott never had any growth as a character
HOLY SHIT THATS PERFECT
Always thought this
Also no Cool Fight's or Powers,and Making Scott a Cuck
Scot? This series was sh*t
Scott Pilgrim vs Scat Piss grim
While Kazuya is paying to rent Chizuru. Home girl is renting his mind for free. 😂🤣

This serie actually helped me to write better characters now that I know what to avoid at all cost
It's actually the first time that made me think "you know, I think I can write a better story than this..."
Maybe if you tried really hard?
This anime is so bad theat i even started hating the best girl even tho shes the best girl and actually did nothing wrong
Thats why u are still an amateur
The author knows what sells

Ruka is just a female kazuya she’s literally acting like him
Just less cringe
@@ÕkamiMeansWolf honestly I find her as cringe as him but at least she doesn’t picture him cheating on her with other women and get aroused by it
I hate Ruka and Mami so bad bro that i almost crash out 😭
It’s like the author has never once spoken to a girl
Author is married with like 2.5 kids
Do you know who else
Bro be renting his wife and kids
And I feel like he should definitely not be starting with doing that now either
@@GamerPrincessXI how the fuck do you even have 0.5 kids..?
Btw Kazuya spent 20k on Chizuru so far. 20k.
In dollars or yen?
Dollars
Holy ahit

The more you watch this manga, the more you root for Mami
The main character is written like he's never interacted with another human ever in his life.
K, done. I'm with you that the Mami thing hits too hard for what the series wanted to be, yet it gives a very valid reason for her to act like that.
Yeah, if only the writer had done it in a more tact way. But a romcom still shouldn't have scenes like this in the first place lol

You know Kazuya kind of reminds me of Subaru in the begining of Re:Zero, except that Subaru has a little progression in the show
Subaru improved so much to the point that comparing them both is an insult to Subaru lmao
@@EchoDecoderyeah, i realize the error in my ways now. It had been a long time since i had watched Re:Zero that i kind of forgot.
@@terraoftime oh no, i wasn't dissin you. I was dissin Kazuya lol
At least Subaru is a different person by the last episode of the most recent season.
Kazuya relapses and is less changing than a plank of wood
This series has a lot of potential, if it was a parody they could leverage characters like Mami much better
The megumi of manga
This remindz me of bludgeoning angel
ngl people hate on mami but she has best char written i agree
She is written to be hateable and she is genuinely hateable.

Sasugu Kei's and Seo Kouji's manga audience: "...First time?"
...to be fair though, Rent-a-Girlfriend is actually worse.
both bad weeb crap xd
About the bathwater: in Japan it's the usual practice, in this case first went Chizuru, then Mini and then Kazu...
the rant is hilarious, Keep up the great work.
You could call this "Rant a girlfriend" 😂
The beach episode was the last straw for me 😂😂
hard to believe the same guy who wrote manga AKB 48, which imo is his best work

thank you for this video, I feel like I was missing something when hearing about Rent a Girlfriend from other creators, and you explained everything so well, ESPECIALLY the movie arc, that it was something ACTUALLY GOOD, but then went downhill
The Rent-A-Girlfriend formula repeats so consistently that it's just a matter of guessing which order it goes in chapter by chapter
The bathwater thing is common in Japan. A household doesn't drain the water until the last person has used it.

I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but when the name of your anime is point blank, no subtitle, “Rent-A-Girlfriend” I’ve already come to my conclusions.

Chapter 218 is the exact chapter I completely gave up on the manga after that chapter I never continued with the story.
I guess hell is real
At least we now know god exists
i found this "anime" through a meme and uh... i wish i never have seen that meme
"Is that an insult or the name of the anime"
i think the concept of renting a girlfriend or simply renting x person in general is definitely the saddest thing someone could have come up with next to vtubers
that "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS" actually woke me up even tho I'm listening to this with an earbud

Callin the hot women in the show mommy is a bold move
Where does Chizuru even spend all those simping money? I doubt all those acting classes and beauty regimen are enough to make her broke.
ITS BEEN 3. MINUTES AND I ALREADY WANT TO COMMIT UNALIVE
this shi unironically had me thinking “is everything i’m doing i’m doing right?”

I honestly think they should just take all the good bits from the “investigation saga”, put them before the water resort arc and then have chapters 227-230 be the climax of the series.
Reiji Miyajima is just a perverted and horrible author. He can't progress his plot, and the whole story is just his disgusting fantasy.
32:10 idk who this guy is, but putting the word kazuya in the same frame is an insult to his existence

The Movie Arc was the best part of this whole series if I'm honest. That arc also shows me that the author is capable of having his characters grow with the right story line, but chooses not to do any of that.
Honestly, this was such a satisfying moment to hear this because im not joking but I stopped at season 1 of the anime BECAUSE of Kazuya and the stupid situations that could’ve been solved through communication so hearing that it gets worse is simply a W for me
The season 2 is so cringe that i had to take pauses watching some of the episodes lmao
In 200 chapters of this manga there has been 0 progression
More like a "1 step forward, 2 steps back" kinda progression 😭😭
this feels like megamind one but the character development is backward
the idea would’ve actually been goated but the mangaka sold so hard on this, having the “running out of money” and “the grandmas and everyone around them finding out that he is in fact still a loser degen and in fact is just renting her” would’ve been so fire as some stakes if they didn’t fuck up the entirety of the story and any chance of kazuya having growth, it could’ve been actually good if the mc actually developed as a character from a degen loser basement dweller to an actually decent human being but literally nothing happens for 300+ chapters and it makes me sad 😭
Also, I gotta say, the Ruka slsnder is a bit much brother. Yes, it's unwarranted, especially since there are people better than Kazuya for her, but she's basically doing the exact same shit he does to others
You got me, it´s true, but still being a fun anime if you suport a little bit a cringe (a lot in the first few chapters), and have very sentimental scenes in 2nd n 3rd season, it's not great but it´s not that bad
11:47 made me laugh so hard for like no reason, fucking Vince
I was a suppirter of this manga till 218. Like seriously if you want the good shit, read up til 217 then stop. Like for your own mental health and well being just stop.
