You can rent a girlfriend, but can you buy love? Reeling from a bad breakup, Kazuya hires the beautiful and polite Chizuru for a date. But rock bottom might be deeper than he imagined. Chizuru is far more complex than the pretty face and sweet demeanor he expected.
In today's Japan, "rental" services offer an afternoon with a "friend," a "parent," or even a fake girlfriend. After being betrayed by his girlfriend, hapless freshman Kazuya becomes desperate enough to try this service. However, he soon realizes how complicated it can be to "rent" an emotional connection.
His new "girlfriend," who is trying to keep her side hustle secret, panics when she discovers that her real life and Kazuya's are intertwined in surprising ways. Family, school, and life all start to go awry too. It's a story of a sweet but naive boy meeting a cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com.
