A good episode to showcase Sumi character in trying to cheer Kazuya up by bringing him on a trip to the ocean. Get to see some nice sights of the ocean and Enoshima Sea Candle.

An insight into the karaoke place where Kazuya and Ruka work. We see the karaoke manager is infactuated with Ruka. Looks like an interesting place where all three interacts.

How will Chizuru reacts to being rented as girlfriend for full day by Kazuya? Can Kazuya really moves from being just a rental client?

Sumi getting more confident is always a good sight, although her attempt at yelling was hilarious.

Oh good it's with Sumi, not Chizuru.
Their karaoke boss likes Ruka????
Nvm, he went on a rental date with Chizuru after all, is she waring red like Sumi there? Fortunately, eventually broke character to thank him, but if he didn't pay her, it would've been more sincere on his part.

I don't care what Majority thinks but I Still Loved S1 the most,, it had me laughing really hard. It was quite an experience.
Season 3 didn't give me the same amount if excitement but yeah,, it is pretty exciting to enjoy a light hearted show at the end of the day......

I liked Mini as well, but Mami still remains best gurl.

9/10 s1
7.5/10 s2
8/10 s3
.............

I'll be looking forward for s4.

Sumi is simply too good for Kazuya. She'll find someone better(that's how I cope)

Perhaps Sumi wanted Kazuya to see her pantsu, therefore she was going up the stairs before him? these girls ain't slick 😏

The whole rental stuff is still really cringe. And the dates with Sumi are definitely the worst ones, because it's mostly Kazuya's inner monologue... and that's painful.

I really thought he booked/rented a timeslot for Chizuru... to cheer her up, not the other way around.
Talk about misleading the audience. Annoying author.

Anyway, I'm glad to see Sumi. Her smile is the best than rest... OwO


I don't know what to think of MC using other girls to inspire himself again to cheer-up another girl. This affair/lies of his is getting nasty each episode.

P.S. Still using a trope of getting a shot of their lingerie is really... annoying nowadays.
Well, the MC is created to be immorally perverted in a lot of ways, especially in his imagination.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

The Absolute Peak of Character Passivity: It Took 5 People for Him to Act Like a Human Being


Just when you think Kazuya couldn't possibly set a lower standard for protagonists, this arc hits a brand-new rock bottom. Chizuru's last living family member passes away, and what does it take for this guy to finally step up and offer basic support? A literal committee vote. Five separate people had to shove him in the back, guide him by the hand, and spell out basic human decency before he even moved an inch.
The level of spinelessness here is staggering:

  • Empathy by Committee: He possesses zero intrinsic motivation. Basic human compassion isn't an instinct for him; it's a decision that requires unanimous approval, external intervention, and an entire council of NPCs convincing him he's allowed to care.
  • Motion Without a Soul: He doesn't comfort Chizuru because his heart tells him to; he does it because the pressure of five different people finally overwhelmed his own cowardice. He moves like an inanimate object being rolled up a hill by everyone else.
  • Commercializing Genuine Grief: Even after being physically forced into action, he still can't just show up and be genuine. He immediately turns her tragedy into a hyper-calculated "perfect date" quest with an hourly schedule and money changing hands.

Watching a grown man require a full-fledged support group and a paid practice run with another girl just to offer a shoulder to someone in mourning isn't romantic drama—it's a mental endurance test. Reiji Miyajima has created a protagonist whose total lack of agency turns every single episode into pure psychological torture.
Final Verdict: Unbearable Brainrot / 10
