Catch up on the manga before Season 2 of the hit
anime, coming soon! You can rent a girlfriend, but can you buy love? Reeling
from a bad breakup, Kazuya rents the beautiful, polite Chizuru for a date. But
rock bottom might be so much lower than he thought! Chizuru is much more than
the pretty face and sweet demeanor he thought he'd bargained
for...

In today's Japan, "rental"
services can deliver an afternoon with a "friend," a "parent," even a fake
girlfriend! After a staggering betrayal by his girlfriend, hapless freshman
Kazuya gets just desperate enough to give it a try. But he quickly discovers how
complicated it can be to "rent" an emotional connection, and his new
"girlfriend," who's trying to keep her side hustle secret, will panic when she
finds out her real life and Kazuya's are intertwined in surprising ways! Family,
school, and life all start to go wrong, too... It's sweet but naive boy
meets cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga
rom-com!
