Kanojo, Okarishimasu 2nd Season

A year after they met, Kazuya Kinoshita and Chizuru Mizuhara still regularly see each other through the rental girlfriend app. However, Chizuru confesses that she is ready to quit her job to pursue her true passion—acting. Despite wishing to maintain the relationship they have, Kazuya decides to support her dream.

When Kazuya goes to watch Chizuru's anticipated first play, he is amazed by her talent and ability to captivate the audience. At the same time, he is saddened at the thought that she will undoubtedly be scouted by the famous director in attendance.

However, after the show, Chizuru explains that the director recruited another actress, lamenting her lack of talent. Frustrated on her behalf, Kazuya resolves to rent her every week to help her financially. But as Kazuya's ex-girlfriend Mami Nanami lingers around for unknown reasons, hesitance muddles his true feelings, and fulfilling his promise to Chizuru becomes uncertain.

Nothing is perfect. This is a shounen, conedy sometimes ,romance and harem.I personally only focus on what I can learn . I learnt about this season and anime that you gotta man the f up. What I’m talking about is that if we look Kazuya, he isn’t perfect , nothing is, and sometimes you can find love in unique person and I think that it comes from the soul. Look at him , his dream is to fulfill the dream of her loved , Chizuru, is this the most authentic love ? The wisdom in “ any dream comes true but you need to ... work for it it’s real man..” In every philosophy,book,manga,film or whatever you can find imperfection, I suggest you to find an anime that can perfectly change your vision on things like this did for me on what’s true love and also that no matter whats your problems, someone idk where but it seems to love exactly your situation, even if doesn’t look real at first so , this is the seeds of this anime.

Mixed Feelings

I thought the premisse of the anime was good, but was the Call of Midnight, it just develops itself too slow for me, the progression of the Main character and the Chizuru happens, but it is too slow for me. He litterally rented her for one and a half year and only in the end she acts like he is more than a client, now their relationship was upgraded to the big and respectable NEIGHBORS STATUS. Also, Chizuru is a very respectable girl that has a great future as actress, she works, and has two courses, she has integrity and only thinks about to follow ... her dreams to realize her grandpa desires and has no space for any men in her heart while doing it. She is what any modern woman ideal model... and I just can't fall in love with her, she is respectable, but not lovable, she just trashes the protagonist too much and is always too cold. The main character deserves a more rapid recognition he is a looser, but he made more for her than her for him. He saved her life, he made her granny believe that her daughter has a man that will love and care for her when she passes alway (and he will really do it) and he batrle for her dreams more than herself, she makes her continue to battle. The end of the second season makes her life directly dependent on him, of his will, he leads her heart and soul to the tomorrow. And a Neighbor Status just don't buy me anymore. I just can't love her. My preference is that girl that can't even talk, but recognizes the MC qualities. HE IS a great man, he is not a desirable person but he is great.
Maybe in one moment Chizuru will recognize him with great affection he deserves, but I don't have patient anymore.
The other characters: his first girlfriend appears to be a trash wh0r3 that only cares about the boys she dismissed when they are with other girls, she is false as a 3 dollar bill, the girl with short hair has one of the poorest motivations to love a perdon I ever saw, she loves him because her heart beat was higher than 90 when he grabed her boobs, wow, really? When a man jumps onto yourself and grabs your boobs you heartbeat jumps and you think you love him?
The art is good, the girls are beautiful (the hair could be longer) but literally every episode looks like a showcase to her new outfits, the MC can only tell every episode how they look beautiful and S-tier and he can't tell anything more about them.
The best episode was the one telling about Chizuru past and what happened to her grandparent, I almost cried. Really good episode. But till this point another 20 episodes have past and I don't have any patient to wait. Sorry I dropped.

Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 2 – How Could Things Get Worse?
After barely surviving Season 1, my brother and I figured we’d watch Season 2. We thought, “Surely, it can’t get worse than this.”
It did.
This season is somehow more infuriating than the first. The characters regress even further, the relationships become more toxic, and the plot? Nonexistent. If Season 1 was emotional torture, Season 2 is emotional Stockholm syndrome.

Kazuya – Rock Bottom Has a Basement

Kazuya somehow becomes even worse. He spends most of his time fantasizing about girls and quite literally pleasuring himself off-screen. There are always tissues on the floor in his room, and it’s played off ... as a “quirky” detail. It’s not. It’s gross.
I have nothing left to say except that I despise this man with all my heart. He’s pathetic, spineless, and lacks every quality a protagonist should have.

Mizuhara – Queen of Mixed Signals (Again)

Mizuhara continues to play emotional ping-pong. One moment she’s vulnerable, the next she’s emotionally detached. She still hides behind the rental girlfriend excuse, using it as a shield to avoid any real conversation or resolution.
She’s the same as Season 1—and that’s not a compliment.

Ruka – The Rebound That Just Won’t Leave

Ruka takes her obsession to a disturbing level this season. She literally tries to give up her virginity to Kazuya to “prove” her love. What is this writing? She actively tries to sabotage his relationships with other girls, despite the fact that he doesn’t even like her.
She’s not a love interest—she’s a delusional placeholder, written like a romantic cuckold with no self-respect.

Mami – Sociopathic and Proud

Mami is still the same manipulative, twisted ex. She torments Kazuya not because she wants him back—but because she enjoys the control. The only reason she’s mad is because she’s not getting the reaction she wants anymore.
She’s not a rival character. She’s a textbook emotional abuser.

Sumi – The Silent Add-On

Sumi is pointless. She barely talks, doesn’t develop, and exists purely as “the shy one” to pad out the love interest roster. She brings nothing new to the table and has no real presence in the story. Why is she even here?

Kazuya’s Grandma – Please Make Her Stop

I continue to loathe this woman. She is blindly obsessed with Mizuhara to the point of delusion. Mizuhara could commit a felony and this woman would call it “charming.”
Her entire personality is “praise Mizuhara,” and at this point, I’m convinced she was written solely to irritate me.

This Isn’t a Romance—It’s a Red Flag Parade

Season 2 doubles down on everything that made the first season terrible. The emotional manipulation, the meaningless drama, the complete lack of character growth—it’s all still here.
It’s not about love. It’s about obsession, control, and delusion. And the worst part? The show acts like that’s romantic.

Final Rating

I genuinely regret watching this season. If you're considering starting this series—don’t. It's not worth your time, your sanity, or your emotional energy.
