Originally, when Kazuya and Mami’s friends decided to have a beach day, Chizuru didn’t come. As she made clear before, she doesn’t want Kazuya, doesn’t have feelings for him, and barely wants to be his friend. However, with going to the same college comes bumping into each other, which causes Chizuru, who was originally hanging with her friends, to be confronted.

Why? Well, partly because Kazuya took her kindness for affection, but mostly because Mami led him on. For with mentioning their first kiss and talking about having children, Kazuya is embedded with hope.

Highlights

Mami’s Game Plan

I’m not sure how long it will last, but there is no denying Mami is an interesting character. Primarily since we don’t know every last detail about her. Largely, she exists in this angelic perception Kazuya puts out, but we have seen behind the curtain. The viewer knows Mami is jealous, insecure, and has a bit of malice in her heart.

However, there is the need to ask: why? Not just why she broke up with Kazuya, but why does she wish to ruin his fake relationship? Is it truly just due to her ego and not finding someone before him? When she left him, did she get used and discarded? What happened?

Summary

Trajectory – Plateau

I won’t pretend there isn’t this feeling we’re being strung along, hoping for a good payoff. However, as we get to know Mami, and wait on the other girls from the intro, there is no denying “Rent A Girlfriend” remains better than you’d think.
