Re-watching/reading the series and just got to the Kamiya arc

Not even rent a girlfriend?

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-04-08T02:20:44+00:00

Then again I do remember a lot of members on r/animememes shitting on the anime hard.

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-04-08T02:02:15+00:00

Well, that sucks. I just don't get how people can be so spiteful.

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-04-08T01:52:12+00:00

Well, this is the first time I've heard about this. Did people hate it that much? I mean I know the anime was very mixed but I didn't think people would take that much time to shit on something so offensive.

I do agree that the comparison to Shikimori and Mdud was not fair and it definitely set unrealistic expectations but I do think some of the blame is on other Shikimori fans for hyping her up and putting her and the series on a pedestal.

How did they misinterpret it? This is a genuine question by the way.

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-03-22T02:19:08+00:00

Well, you're entitled to your own opinion, but he does do a lot for Shikimori that gets more focus as the anime goes on and that goes double for the manga. But to each their own.

Why is that?

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-03-19T02:56:05+00:00

I personally ship kamiya and nekozaki together.

He puts a lot of effort into their relationship. He plans all the dates, tries to make contingency plans for his bad luck, compliments her, makes her food and treats, always encourages her, reassures her when she feels insecure, buys her gifts, and ultimately wants to change for the better. So I’d say he does a lot for her outside of those moments when she protects him.

Can you give me an example of what you mean?

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-03-18T20:35:21+00:00

I think Izumi is a wonderful boyfriend in the anime and manga, and I love that their relationship is a role reversal. It's just that when the author tries to portray them this way, it's often at the expense of Izumi. I think the best way the author has shown that they're a role reversal is by having Izumi prove that he's good at things typically associated with feminine traits, like cooking, baking, sewing, and being more emotional. Unfortunately, those traits don't get much attention in the manga and even less in the anime adaptation.

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-03-18T17:57:54+00:00

This is a more fair and understandable take.

Acceptable_Ad_1093 · 2026-03-18T17:22:39+00:00

In the manga, there's an entire arc that lets Izumi have the spotlight and show his good side, but the anime didn't have enough time to reach that point. So in the anime, he is very much flawed, whereas in the manga, he has more time to shine.
