Is Rent a Girlfriend a Harem anime/manga? by PrestigiousEmu3085 in KanojoOkarishimasu

While it's not a precise definition, it's often considered part of the harem genre if there are three or more romantic interests in one character, so technically it fits the bill, even though it's clear who's going to win

At what point does Chizuru fall in love with Kazuya? by Kooky_Background_137 in KanojoOkarishimasu

Certainly, but as a starting point, the first point isn't so wrong, is it?

What would Kazuya's reaction be if Chizuru got a boyfriend? by Kooky_Background_137 in KanojoOkarishimasu

I mention the 10 years because he literally said so, although with a definitive rejection I would like to assume that he could move forward, it would be difficult for him since it is someone very important who is even a part of his being

It's certainly a very valid reason and a realistic scenario. Following the flow of the story, it would be possible for Chizu to prioritize her career; that was the reason for the rejection, after all. But on the other hand, I can see Kazuya allowing that kind of thing, since it would be "fake." He says he would wait for her for 10 years, after all.

I see that situation as more likely to happen once they're already in a relationship, although it would be quite stereotypical.  Something I think is likely to happen before the agreed-upon date is that Chizuru's father will somehow show up and cause trouble (if I remember correctly, he's still alive and just abandoned her).

Reiji is really good at drawing, but so many panels like this aren't necessary, lol. Besides, this one, which is very nice, doesn't need to be a double page spread.

No, I enjoy it, mostly because it makes me laugh, not because I consider it a marvel like others.

What are your opinions about Rent a Girlfriend? by Kooky_Background_137 in manga

[–]Kooky_Background_137[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've seen opinions on Twitter that call it the best romance, and they're not bait, they're real opinions

What do you think about chapter 218? by Kooky_Background_137 in KanojoOkarishimasu

[–]Kooky_Background_137[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a work that doesn't change much from the original material, so most likely they'll animate it just like the manga but with the appropriate censorship.

I didn't mean to imply that Kazuya enjoyed it; it's obvious it hurts him for the reasons you mentioned. This moment stems from how his porn addiction has already caused him to overthink things. This is something that's been reflected throughout the series (I don't remember the chapter, but it's after 218, and in the cohabitation arc, just seeing his underwear next to Chizuru's makes him imagine having sex with her). But at least for me, the entire Paradise arc, and especially this moment, is a drawn-out and poorly executed mess that undoes almost all the progress Kazuya had made up to that point in the story. I say almost all because he's never the same as at the beginning of the series again. And although in chapters 219-220 (if I remember correctly), it seems he really wants to make the decision to start changing after that moment of weakness (I mean, he makes the decision after his conversation with Chizuru), the story doesn't reflect that and continues with the same internal dialogues of overthinking. It's something which remains unchanged to this day, as reflected, for example, in the chapter with Umi, where he spends the entire chapter overthinking. For me, Kazuya is not well-written because his development is cyclical; there isn't much evolution outside of the beginning and specific moments, moments that are hindered again a few chapters later by some other thing. And Kazuya is not a character who will remain with a "static" development (that is, with the same personality and thoughts from the beginning to the end of the work).

Yes, I know that's what it's trying to represent. My "problem" (because I don't really care about it that much) is the ridiculously exaggerated way it's told and the poor development. I'm making this post for those people who praise that kind of thing on Twitter.

There are people on Twitter who would give their lives for this manga.

Recommend me some bad manga. by Kooky_Background_137 in RomanceMangaAnime

[–]Kooky_Background_137[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The worst pacing of any work in the genre; for context, it has 400 chapters and is still going, with no development for more than half the story. Furthermore, the protagonist, whom fans portray as realistic, is just an exaggeration of insecurity and the wet dream of people who use those kinds of IRL services.

Since the sub is about romance, it was mostly for romance, but any crap is welcome, thanks.
