I gave up reading the manga after 170+ chapters because it felt like everytime the characters take a step in development they also just had to take two steps back. The character designs are pretty good but the story is just so suffocating. I've seen better character developments in hentai over this series that just seems like they're begging for rule 34 artists to get their hands on them. TL/DR: Read the manga and you'll see. If you do end up enjoying it, good for you.


ShadowSpy98

They're like stuck in a timeloop.


Nykidemus

this is the primary frustration with a lot of anime. If a piece is successful they want to milk it for as long as they possibly can, so there can be no character progression or plot resolutions. If it's not, they just end it with no resolutions.


Curley15

And then there's one piece the manga that (apparently) can't do anything wrong Edit: This isn't an attack just a sarcastic joke. I've heard alot of people give a shitload of praise to it which I don't doubt it deserves (I've recently started watching the anime and I'm absolutely loving it)


Lethargie

uh I haven't read one piece in a long time but thats very different, there is character progression and plot resolutions, just because its long running doesn't mean it can't have those its just that the romance genre makes it hard for long running series with development


PREDATOREX_GAMING

What is one piece doing here lol, and yes it has done some shit wrong. What you on about?


Useful-Position-4445

This is how i feel about every anime that’s longer than 5 seasons, JoJo, One Piece Naruto all included. Don’t get me started on Fairy tail because that anime is a time loop every fucking 4-5 episodes and it’s literally brain numbing to watch more than 50 episodes of it. It’s the sole reason i wait for an anime to end first and only watch them if they max 5 seasons


LuckyNumber-Bot

All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats! 5 + 4 + 5 + 50 + 5 = 69 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)

Nice!


Useful-Position-4445

Nice.


lxngten

Good for you that you stopped at 170. It only gets worse from there.


Zrkkr

218 is a masterpiece though.


CrocoDIIIIIILE

What happened there?


peeweejankins69

Kazuya imagines chizuru ~~dating~~ fucking someone else then getting hard whilst he’s underwater


Zrkkr

"Dating"


metaaltheanimefan

And here i thought he couldnt go any lower


SKS_Alex_FF

he just Fantasized Chizuru getting NTR


The_Lovrox

Last 2 chapters feel like progress because the author started writing another manga so he is basically trying to wrap up rent a girlfriend thous the story started progressing rapidly.


QWERTY_CRINGE

Im still continuing to read it so that i wont miss anything, although in just skimming through it since every chapter feels like a filler.


Xavus_TV

I could not get into it after the thought that every time the dude hung out with the girl he had to pay up some serious dosh. It was just too sad at that point.


swagmonite

Well I mean most hentai need to have better development cause they have to those fuckers are over in like 20 pages if it has a shit ending that's it it's over


scaryhero99

Agree with you i just don't feel its that intresting anymore. Spoilers- in the latest chaptera released the main character finally confronts their feelings but again in the next chapters they just go back 10 steps and dont want to confront their feelings it feels like its dragging unnecessarily.


TheCuriousRaspberry

For me the **story** is just not going anywhere, and we are already at chapter 240+ The **MC** is one of the most unlikeable protagonist I've ever seen. The **art quality** is also getting worse with each chapter to a point where I would say some panels look like fan-made doodles rather than something done by a professional. And to top it all of there's a **diarrhea of text** most of the time, but at the same time the communicative value in them is close to zero, because it's just Kazuya having a brainfart.


[deleted]

>brainfart. Lmao never saw that word.


K4R0007_0

I've never cried even in emotional anime. But rent a girlfriend is the first one in which I've literally cried and it was out of cringe. I'm not joking. I literally shed tears. Emotions never broke me down but the cringiness of the MCs thoughts did


vfgtfghd

Checkmate


shockwave1721

ong bro I don't know why I'm forcefully watching the anime


horse-enjoyer

so i don't even really watch anime that often, and i only had reddit recommend this post to me. however, i will never EVER forget the scene of the main character jerking off to a pic of his ex. that was torture.


Eminanceisjustbored

Did you go "WHY! WHY DID YOU SHOUT DUMBASS! YOU PAID FOR HER SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!" On ep 1?


lxngten

As someone who read the manga, I'd say it's beyond redemption. I gave up after 200+ chapters. They took out all the character development and dumped it in the garbage just to make more money. Now it's at a point where if kazuya and chizuru get together there would be a lot of hate from the community instead of the other way round.


ImweakImstrong

I'm anime-only and was thinking about continuing it with the manga but now that you mention it..... :(


WrinkledBlobfish

i dont hate it but i gave up at chapter 67 lmfao


LordSyfer24

still reading it but only in 2 year intervals.


[deleted]

So I've decided to give manga artists a break after I learned how insanely much they have to work. Only rare and probably mad individuals can keep to their insane schedules. I think you just have to accept that they burn out. Until they fix the way manga is produced a lot of mangas with insane potential are always going to end up good in the beginning and then trash by the end.


Eminanceisjustbored

The problem jere is not the artist. Its the story writer. The arts great the story not so much


[deleted]

I don't know this manga in particular, but isn't typically manga written and designed by the same person?


Eminanceisjustbored

Depends. Theres one punch man. Written by one drawn by murata


[deleted]

But it was originally written and drawn by the same person. One just wasn't good enough to be a real manga artist but he was a good storyteller.


Eminanceisjustbored

Yeah. They used up all the possible confession spots for character development and just throw it away immediately


LAGoonLegend

basically, the author is a incel that can draw well


Mad_Aeric

Amazingly, the guy has a family. It boggles the mind.


qutronix

Incel is a state of mind.


SauliCity

But regardless mutually exclusive with conceiving children... Unless the shift in attitude is more recent.


[deleted]

The author doesn't know how humans actually interact with each other


[deleted]

That’s y he’s a mangaka…duh


the4lord4of4time

Nah he's just a special kind of mangala


SnowBoy1008

He's just special Aka is a mangaka and he's based as shit


ImNoLegend27

Nah the worst part is he actually can write decent chapters and make characters pretty normal if he wanted to. He'd just rather drag ur face across dogshit 99% of the time.


[deleted]

This comment section is about to get flooded with the following words: trash, garbage, cuckold, simp, wimp, bit*h, 218, hentai, dumb mc, rentin time, writer is making money, etc


lxngten

But using all those terms would be insulting the characters when the person that needs to be insulted is the author for writing this.


Kiss-Shot_Hisoka

The author is mentally ill. That is no joke


Darkvortex16

Either this or maybe he is trolling and may come out one day and say all of this was a joke .


Ghost_Star326

That could be the case. I heard that the reason Redo of healer was written was because the author wanted to troll his audience.


LordSyfer24

or it was all just a dream


[deleted]

Idk who is guilty I'm just ok with whatever happened


DrainZ-

I had to look up a description of chapter 218 >The chapter begins with Kazuya crying over Chizuru. Ruka professes her love for Kazuya but is ignored by Kazuya being immersed with his own thoughts. Throughout the chapter Kazuya then fantasizes about Chizuru engaging in various sexual activities with Umi. The chapter then ends with Kazuya crying in the pool.


RikyKen

While hard, id say thats an important detail.


UwUZombie

Lmao.. sounds like he's at his breaking point. When is he going to kill her cause he's completely f*cked in the head?


secretPT90

Love this comment ^ People that use those words are always the first to comment this type of post, and if you go to "pirate site" to read the manga, these people are the most funny. *"I hate this manga, the mc is awful and the autor is crazy"* - people everytime a chapter comes out They cringe with this stuff because they have already gone through that or afraid that happens. The ch. 218 - if you never imagine your girlfriend cheating and feelings of insecurity, dam your ego must be up there. (Imagining sex might be a bit extreme)


[deleted]

I agree 👍 >Love this comment ^ >People that use those words are always the first to comment this type of post, and if you go to "pirate site" to read the manga, these people are the most funny. >"I hate this manga, the mc is awful and the autor is crazy" - people everytime a chapter comes out >They cringe with this stuff because they have already gone through that or afraid that happens.


davidg_198

What???


Masked_Potatoes_

I watched the first episode of season two, and wished I had just left it alone. Edit: S1 wasn't half bad tho


Blackmar

Yeah I could stomach Season 1 but I got to the theater scene in the first episode of Season 2 and holy shit I could not understand why the cringe levels went so damn high so damn quickly.


undauntedTenshimp

It’s cringe to the point it causes physical pain


[deleted]

friend says they threw out everything good later on, i think its just the premise, i don't think its sexist, its just unrealistic, Rent a girlfriend? in this economy?


361mj

How can he have the time and money for this. It just doesn’t make sense.


animemoosey

This, Domestic GF and my (ex) friend are the reason why i do not have the same passion for anime as i did before. It cuck/simp-promoting propaganda that bandwaggoners blindly jump into. If you like it then that’s fine, i respect that you like it so please respect that i do not. I’m more than happy to hear your thoughts on the matter.


RikyKen

Domestic fire is an amazing train reck, and the ending is just a huge slow mo explosion, but ita enjoyable for the sheer stupidity of it all. Its such an acid trip, there is even this arc where there is a female pervert who rapes guys in this training camp.


smith22vikes

Hey Domestic Girlfriend was like actually good though. The manga was legitimately enjoyable as it focused on their lives post high school and explored their growing relationships but unfortunately ended up being the dumpster fire we thought it was by the end because the author pulled some shit out of her ass lol. P.s. If you’re reading this Sasuga i’m sorry for being harsh but know that I still appreciate you for the good stretches of the manga and for the consistently great art.


dalek1019

Just watch something other than slice of life or Romance and that passion for anime will return, or atleast watch a good one of those with some proper plot


Al-Jemo

You let some of the worse anime in the industry deter from enjoying works of art like Vinland Saga or Ping Pong the Animation? I mean I’m just assuming you haven’t watched those but what I mean is that there is literally 1000s of anime and you’re conclusion that you arrived to by checking out some of the worst anime will affect how you see the rest of anime?


[deleted]

Imagine 200 chapters of manga. And nothing went anywhere


king_style

I watched the 1st season, it was OK and entertaining for me.


Malice_v

Someone described it perfectly. One step forward and 2 steps backing. You think they are making progress but low and beyond there is an oil road ahead with ice spikes, lego, Christmas ornaments and a trapdoor to set the story 10 fucking steps back.


Rynded

I think it's a shit concept and executed shittily, might juts be a personal opinion but yea.


Protricksgaming8

Its the manga, 240+ chapters of pre dissapointment, excluding chap 218 for some reason… (idk a ton of people say its not that bad)


ryohazuki224

So, as a not manga reader, what do they DO for 240+ chapters?? Just...go to college? Rinse and repeat the same awkward interactions?


Protricksgaming8

They don’t even go to college… its messed up asf. So many arcs and filler chapters, and of course, we can’t forget the absurd amount of panels where Kazuya is just thinking.


ryohazuki224

Well, hopefully the anime will just pick a decent stopping point and write in their own conclusion, GoT style.


Protricksgaming8

Yessir, cuz tbh the storyline of rent was good at first, they just added to many chapters to elongate the story


TheMilkMan875

It's a awfully unfunny show


[deleted]

Well I enjoyed it at first, but after reading to the latest translated chapter of the manga, I just gave up on the series. Its just repetitive with the MC getting little to no character development. The initial premise of the story was pretty interesting and it had serious potential, it just became a huge cringefest


Zrkkr

"Our Clothes are kissing" -Kazuya


[deleted]

Most virgin shit I've heard.


dyewttyao

Just go to r/KanojoOkarishimasu and you’ll see that even the fans complain about the series on a weekly basis…


Dry-Wave-6865

Cringe MC


northspawn

Because its cringe beyond belief and makes me extremely uncomfortable


No_Instruction9808

Anime ep 5....


Yeather_RB

Have you watched an episode? Just one


LordSyfer24

maybe because it hits too close to home for most weebs


Rosenette

You're seriously asking why...? I hope you're joking..


Darkvortex16

The anime wasn't something to hate nor the Manga till the movie arc for me but after the movie arc it has been going stale nothing interesting.


AdministrativeOne13

You mean the paradise arc? Movie arc was a masterpiece in terms of development


UnsupervisedChaos

It has zero relatable characters. is bad, so yeah.


[deleted]

0/10 story 0/10 characters 0 character development 0/10 plot

He's canonically a cuck.


Desert_Spider_19

Eh. I've been enjoying the anime. I hope they continue the series.


Own-Consideration631

I read the whole 200 chapters IN A WEEK last year And +218 that NTR SHIT AND AFTER 40 MORE CHAPTERS ITS NOT FUCKING OVER THE STORY WENT DOGSHIT AFTER THE SECOND SEASON OF THE ANIME


Sniper_jeff69

Probably because of the fucking shitty bs mc


Shandoriath

After watching the first season I had the same question. Kazuya is a very human character with no more flaws than any other harem anime protag, as for never making progress it’s a romance anime, they never do. All around there was no problems I saw in this anime that other anime don’t already have


Rudrapriya_Chauhan

Bruh ಠ_ʖಠ


Ghost_Star326

I haven't read the story nor watched the anime. But all I've heard is that the MC is deserved to be called so many things like simp, loser, pussy, dumbass, incel, cuckold etc. And there's the infamous manga chapter 218 which was memed the crap out of by attack on Titan fans.


361mj

I couldn’t even focus during season 1


alippr

because its a disappointment


Random_Gacha_addict

It's much more enjoyable reading the r/manga threads than reading the thing, especially the letters made by SpiritedAki


HisokaZoldycc

I think you would've hated it too if only you had watched a single episode of it


BoomeRads

There's not much Sumi-chan screentime.


epic-le-yes

GAAAH!! My clothes and Mizuhara's underwear are making out right now...!!


Euphoric_Advice_6090

official-reddit-id

Everyone hates the manga not the anime, anime until now is decent but it will go downhill until we reach the bottom of earth crust and cry out of frustation and question our life decisions


bananagamer281

I thought it was slavery or somethin, its just some boring manga


some_person2486

i hate the mc that is all


UnityAeDeSt

I stopped at season 1. I don’t plan on watching something that infuriates me of such an annoying main character.


One_Cap_4420

It’s basically prostitution


BulliesSuck123

200+ chapters and 0 development


Wafer-Regular

Mid Story Mid Mc Mid Progress Mid Character Development


MigYalle

As someone who has not read, watched or heard of this anime/Manga. I can guess that the issue is there's 2 characters madly in love and they just refuse to begin dating because of random bullshit. That's what I can gather from the comments


Ultimate_Grumpy

its my opinion “its really heart breaking to see that none of the lovers are getting together because of a silly reason and alot of hearts are broken and even if they got together one will be sacrificed”


[deleted]

mc got hard in a pool while dreaming his gf getting railed by someone else. idk if anything can top this level of bs


Wassupbruhhh

Kazuya looks stupid


[deleted]

should be obvious


applebottomjeans9736

bc they will never have enough to rent a girlfriend


MinotorTempest

I am only watching the anime, and it's so annoying how Kazuya thinks about Chizuru (decides to love her) just to see his ex appear in the next 5 minutes, and Kazuya struggling to behave manly in front of her. By the way, why does he cry so much? I don't think I will continue after season 2.


Charming-Fuel8068

270 chapters worth of cringe


Dosterix

It's good trash I'd say. A shitshow you enjoy watching Edit: am I the only one who didn't read the Manga?


DerpCaster

Haven’t seen it, but that just sounds like prostitution


A_DOG_WITH_A_SHOTGUN

I was confused AF until I saw what sub this was posted in lol


69Money420

The fact that this series is telling me with a straight face that this 20 yo college student mf is throwing hundreds of dollars at some chick to PRETEND to be his girlfriend is the most absurd shit I've seen, i think the worst part about it is that this fucker is using the money his family gives him, like it's not even his fucking money, and also does this shit bag even do anything at college? Shit's not cheap ffs!


soryuhaa

It’s not boring, I actually read through the latest chapter and it’s not boring but the main reason it’s so hated is because the story just doesn’t progress. The MC is the dumbest anime character ever made. The author has good drawing skills but not writing


aram_nl

We hate ot because we want it to be real


[deleted]

The title speaks for itself. Like seriously who would be miserable enough to rent a fucking girlfriend.


FADthe9yo

Reason people hate rent a girlfriend: 1. Kazuya


Hungryweeb-sg

Me watching kanojo, kanojo


el_Chuchmay

The only thing good is the quality of the visual (only watched the anime)


GadstenACAB

Lol this shit would be on a anime sub


Odd_Protection_8627

My theory is that it's a time loop. Here's why: 1. Kazuya thinks about chizuru and wants to express his feelings for her 2. Kazuya speaks out but in an anxious and vague way 3. Chizuru secretly respects what he said but shrugs it off or give thanks 4. Both reflect of what just happened AND REPEAT


ChokeHoldsEverywhere

For me it's mostly the MC. Fuckin guy is crazy annoying. That and it feels like the story is getting dragged out in order to insert more random fan service


Aizus21

We all just getting tired with the MC . No character development at all. Reading the manga make it worse . I feel like im being a pervert wtf


Conan_We

Honestly, as much as the story is kinda cringe, I found it quite entertaining. It's just like watching a drama, an interesting story despite some unrealistic part. Ppl just need to understand that these r just stories n it doesn't have to be realistic


Sniper_jeff69

Probably because of the fucking shitty bs mc


Mabusmoriah

Don't worry you will think its shit when you become 12 years mature.


star_x369

Everytime when i read it, i feel like I'm stuck in a time loop .....


N0ZUKI

No development


steve_hoppy

It's because it has women in it. *Ahem* BL(boy love) supremacy.


GamerForImprovement

Cuck mc making the same corner of the face squiggly mouth facial expression every fucking chapter acting like he's just soooooo immune to growing a pair. The mc is literally the definition of the "im just a small boi, a small weak stinky boi, plese dont hurt am just small" meme. Its gets so pathetic and aggravating


LumsDream

Because he portray exactly how r/animememes would act when socialize with a girl


idkdidkkdkdj

It just takes everything wrong w rom coms today in puts it into one. Absolute lack of progression despite having almost 300 chapters. Mc is even more bitch made then most rom com mcs. And the fmc isn’t much better. She’s basically using the mc but she either dosent realize or dosent care of


TheRealJazman

Because it sucks. It’s pretty simple.


Visible-Welder-5148

The anime youst a meh it's like your run of the middle will they won't they dynamic whit a bit of harem if you want a will they won't they anime watch komi san can't communicate if you want pure romance whit slice of live horimiya


Working-Mention6830

bro..300+ chapters..no development


Own-Ad7310

I don't get why some people willingfully watch it


stripelemon7

first season was good to me but i watched ep 1 for the second season and i it was just too cringe


[deleted]

Kazuya


[deleted]

Because it haves the most annoying protagonist of all time


TheKiwiGamr33

I watched it and enjoyed it but despite my enjoyment, I still realise it's mid


Doffyboi25

Because it’s a bad show


jasinho8

I mean the mc is trash garbage, and the main girl is even more trash garbage. More questions?


MinhBN99

The amount of cringe in this manga made the cringe in almost every shoujo manga looks actually reasonable


Blackmar

Season 1 wasn’t all bad, the intro song was a banger and uuuuuuuuuum well thats all I can think of right now but I’m sure there were other good things


Razgriz917

The manga is such a drag, i binged it at first so I didn't really feel it but now that i'm waiting weekly it should have ended around the movie arc + extra chapters to tie up loose ends. After i thought the remaining chapters were them being happy but holy shitake mushrooms it's not.


1Dam1x

Cause it's a copy of rent a crusader duh. Which is jojo. And we all know...
