Girlfriend, Girlfriend
If you're looking for romance with beautiful animation and aren't afraid of fan service — one of the best representatives of the "rental girlfriend" genre. Sora Amamiya makes Chizuru memorable, despite the "cool beauty" archetype.
The premiere on MBS took place on July 10, 2020 — a multi-season adaptation of the manga about Kazuya Kinoshita, a dumped guy who hires a "girlfriend for rent" through the Diamond app. Mizuhara Chizuru turns out to be perfect — beautiful, smart, but with secrets. Their relationship evolves from fake dates to real attachment, complicated by a harem of other service girls and an ex-girlfriend. The tone is comedic with elements of drama: there is a lot of fan service and awkward situations, but also a sincere look at the insecurities of young people in relationships. The format is a long-running rom-com (4 seasons as of 2024–2025). For fans of "Nisekoi" and "Ahiru-gatsu," looking for light romance with beautiful heroines.
Not announced, but the manga continues, and the fourth season (2024) ended on an open moment — the likelihood is high.
A real service in Japan (and Korea) where you can hire a companion for a date without sexual services — the anime explores this phenomenon.
Without spoilers — let's say the fourth season gives a clear indication of his choice, resolving the main conflict of the harem.
You can — the focus is predominantly on Chizuru, other girls get development but do not create typical "harem" competition.
A conscious choice by the author — his insecurity reflects real issues young people face in relationships, although many criticize it as "torture."
