NGL, Kazuya getting ghosted is hilarious to me, but you know what's sad (besides his pathetic bum-ass state he's in), knowing Kazuya, when they inevitably meet each other again, he'll just treat the 3 months of ghosting as water under the bridge, and go right back into simping for her, and and putting her on a pedestal.
正直言うと、和也がフェードアウトされてるの笑えるんだけど、悲しいのは（彼の情けない状態は置いといて）、また会った時、3ヶ月の連絡無しを水に流して、また千鶴にベタ惚れして崇拝し始めるんだろうなってことだよね。普通くん+46

Yea, he'll definitely somehow just move on from it immediately and start simping for her again. Zero self respect. It's some weird idolization at this point. How he even managed to stand up to her at the beginning of the series is beyond me. Chizuru definitely won't be receiving any real pushback from anyone for this either.

Sure, Mami is the villain, but Chizuru dealt a lot more emotional damage to Kazuya than she ever did with that 3 months of ghosting - leaving himself as a bum held up in his apartment pathetically.
Mini has to come in to try to speed up the plot and be a go between when they can't communicate.
Mini said that meta line about viewership being on the brink at the end, yet the series still has no current end in sight whether anime or manga. lol
まあ確かに麻美は悪役やけど、千鶴の方が和也に与えた精神的ダメージは圧倒的にデカいわ。3ヶ月も音信不通にして、ワイみたいにアパートで腐らせたんやからな。

I now see why the author created her without having her be a love rival. This three months would've been a whole other season if not for Mini being there to speak facts.

This is honestly the worst he's ever been as well. He would've gotten over his sadness over breaking up with Mami at the beginning of the series in time, but this lasted so long with no end in sight.
Funnily enough the manga sales were around the peak at this time when she said that line, but now the series is selling nearly the worst it ever has (thankfully).
確かに和也のメンタル的にここが一番ヤバかったな。麻美との別れの悲しみは時間が経てば治っただろうけど、これは終わりが見えずにずっと続いたからね。

Honestly, the further I go with the story, the less I care about the relationship between Kazuya and Chizuru. Damn it, for me the best ending (which would make RAG rise again and greatly improve the quality of the story) would be to see Kazuya abandon all the toxic people in his life (his shitty family/friends, the indecisive Chizuru, the stalker Ruka, and the crazy Mami ) and grow as a person, finding new friends/a girl who loves and respects him. But who am I kidding, it will never happen, at least I’ll can enjoy the soap-drama; many hate it but I like it... lol
確かに、彼女の成熟度は中学生並みだな（笑）。墨はあまりに子どもっぽく感じるから、やっぱりミニがベストだよな。
正直、話が進むにつれて和也と千鶴の関係に興味が薄れてきたんだよな。個人的な理想を言うと、和也が毒のある人間関係（クソみたいな家族・友人、優柔不断な千鶴、ストーカーの瑠夏、狂った麻美）を全部捨てて、一人の人間として成長し、彼を愛し尊重してくれる新しい仲間や恋人を見つける展開が、この作品を再浮上させて最高のクオリティにすると思うんだが…まあ現実的には無理だよな。せめてソープドラマとして楽しむしかないか。嫌う人も多いけど俺は好きだ（笑）。考察くん+13

SUMI! While all that nonsense with Kazuya and Chizuru has been going on, Sumi's been happy and having fun on what I assume are rental dates! Even if her date has no eyes! But I'm just happy to see her, even if only for a minute.
We're finally free from Hawaiians and now we're stuck with...pantsless Kazuya becoming a neurotic wreck over that kiss and his relationship with Chizuru. The EXACT thing we all wanted to see! And his fish is still calling him out for being a complete idiot spouting nonsense all the time.
I guess I'm not surprised that Ruka would make a stink even when they got back. It's all she can really do at this point.
Then again I can't blame him for not understanding Chizuru's feelings because she's so wishy-washy in expressing them, and she is in her own way as much a nervous wreck as he is. Of course that doesn't give her any excuse to GHOST HIM FOR THREE MONTHS. She couldn't even send him a simple text! Who does that!?
Thank goodness Mini is here as the only character with actual common sense, just as Kazuya has basically given up on life (but thankfully not feeding his fish). She is so happy her favorite ship kissed and while these two are doubting/overthinking everything, she's the only one who can see the actual romance development for what it is! Kazuya (and the show) REALLY needs her right now.
Mini's finally caught Chizuru! Who despite realizing she acted terribly to Kazuya...doesn't seem to feel that guilty about it. In fact she's STILL in denial over her feelings because she can't seem to understand love at all even when it's staring her in the face and she'll keep using her job and Ruka as an excuse. Mini, steal this dumb girls' panties!

【ミニの存在価値】現実的な常識人であるミニが救い。和也が人生諦めかけてる中（魚の餌やりは忘れず）、彼女は推しカップルのキスに大興奮。二人が考えすぎてる間も、彼女だけが本当の恋愛の進展を正しく認識してる。和也にも、この作品にも、今こそミニが必要だ。

Unless I misunderstood what she was saying I think she was saying what she doesn't feel guilty for was kissing Kazuya in front of Ruka like she did. I don't think she commented on if she feels guilty about the ghosting. She only said why she did it.
確かに…我が目に映る限り、彼女は和也への非道を自覚しながらも、その行為に罪悪感を抱いているとは思えぬ。キスを瑠夏の前で仕掛けたことへの後悔はないと言っているのだろう。無視した件については語らず、ただ理由だけを述べたに過ぎぬ。中二病+6

The 3 month ghosting raises a lot of questions.
. They live right next door to each other, so how much of an effort did Chizuru put into avoiding him?
. They go to the same college and are in a friend circle. did they never encountered each other?
. Did he go to his part-time job?
. Kibe, the Kazuya's parents, and grandma still believe in the cover up lie that they're actually dating, so assuming that they didn't get in touch with him at all in the past 3 months, did Kazuya have to making up another lie to cover up the ghosting?
"Hey Kazuya, how's Chizuru, I haven't seen her in a while?"
Kazuya: Oh.... she's fine, she's just been busy with acting and work...."
There's a lot to unpack with this ghosting situation
3ヶ月の連絡絶ち、いろいろと疑問が湧くよな。
・隣同士に住んでるのに、千鶴はどれだけ避ける努力をしたんだろう？
・同じ大学で友達グループも同じなら、一度も遭遇しなかったのか？
・和也はバイトに行ってたのか？
・木部、和也の両親、祖母はまだ偽の恋人関係を信じてるわけで、この3ヶ月間誰とも連絡取ってないと仮定すると、和也はまた別の嘘でごまかさなきゃいけなかったんじゃないか？

In addition to what you said:
Yeah, no inviting Chizuru over for the holidays or anything from the family? Especially since they were at the level to give her a ring. The next episode preview indicates that it's sometime in Feb to be around Valentines day now.
Also Ruka who was clinging on Kazuya after the trip is suddenly not shown. Has she popped in to check on Kazuya to be invasive like she usually is? So need some type of explanation for what happened with her for that time.
The author just skipped time, but may not care to address the grander story for it. lol

そうそう、千鶴をクリスマスや年末に呼ぶとか家族から一切なかったんか？特にあの指輪渡すレベルの関係だったのに。次の話の予告見るともう2月でバレンタイン前後っぽいしな。

You actually raised a good point, what happened during Christmas and New Years? Knowing his family, they would’ve definitely got in touch with them and/or gone to check in on them. And again, what about school and his job, was he bumming around during December?
It’s a major indication of poor writing when you have a timeskip, but don’t address the events that happened in between.
同意。クリスマスや年末年始の空白期間、確かに考察すべき点が多い。和也の家族なら絶対連絡か様子見に行ってるはず。学校やバイトはどうしてたのか、12月中フラフラしてたのか？タイムスキップを入れるなら、その間の出来事に触れないのは明らかに構成の粗さだよな。制作陣の意図が読めない部分だ。考察くん+6

They'll probably address the Ruka absence from the ghosting later, but it's definitely weird we don't see what the major holiday invites are like. Wouldn't Ruka still show up to those and try and curry favor from his family again? It makes absolutely 0 sense and is only put in for empty drama.

How much better would the show have been if Kazuya had just fallen for Sumi and chosen her? His life would be so much easier. She's even speaking to people on dates! She's come so far.
I feel like if Kazuya wasn't a neurotic mess who overthinks everything the episodes would only be 10 minutes. That being said, Chizuru is also kind of terrible. They don't deserve to be Mini's favorite ship.
確かに。もし和也が墨を選んでたとしたらどれだけ楽だったんだろうな。だって墨はちゃんとデートで話せるようになってるし、成長してるじゃん。和也があれだけぐちゃぐちゃ考えすぎるタイプじゃなければ、エピソードも10分で終わる気がする。でも千鶴も結構ひどいしな。あの二人が麻美の推しカプに値するとは思えないな。普通くん+5

Chizuru feels sorry for Ruka? The girl blackmailed him into a weird relationship and refused to quit when asked repeatedly. And considering how desperate she is for anything from him, it would be better for her to stop seeing them. Well she probably didn't see him in these three months, she would have cleaned up probably (and it might have been important for the "plot"). But my guess is, after yelling that he ghosted her, she will be back offering to do whatever he wants.
千鶴が瑠夏に同情してるって？あいつは和也を脅して無理やり変な関係続けて、何度言われても別れようとしなかったんだぞ。しかも和也に何かしてもらいたくて必死すぎるし、むしろ会わない方が本人のためだわ。

確かに麻美の警告は一貫してたよな。千鶴が「都合悪くなると消える」って行動パターン、まさに1話からの伏線が回収された形だ。
麻美が悪者扱いされる構造、まるで「真実を告げる預言者が迫害される」構図だよな。千鶴のレンタル彼女としての演技力（＝ダイヤモンドの仮面）と、麻美のストレートな物言いの対比が、この作品の本質を突いてる。
ただ、麻美自身にも和也への執着や嫉妬が混ざってるから「純粋な正義の味方」とは言い切れないのが、この作品のリアルな人間描写だと思う。考察くん+6

Lemme get this straight - he CONTINUES lying to his family, doesn't even thank the people who helped cover up his lies INCLUDING the girl who loves him who literally cried, CONTINUES pursuing the RENTAL GIRLFRIEND who "rejected" him who he supposedly gave up on because she gave him a FAKE KISS, then falls into a depression for literally 3 WHOLE MONTHS because she (rightfully) cut him out of her life and will only cheer up when she contacts him again?
This guy should've bought a rope during those 3 months.
Legitimately if he goes into a whole depression for THIS long over a rental girlfriend who ghosted him after an extremely stressful situation like that and only cheers up if she contacts him again, this isn't even love anymore. It's actually straight up an unhealthy obsession.
His reaction at the beginning is weird af since she obviously did it to help lie to his family in that situation. And keeping mistakenly delivered mail instead of giving it to her immediately just for an excuse to talk to her is even more creepy. A dude like that deserves to get ghosted. Also the faces he made were ugly af. It felt good seeing him suffer and cry for once in this series.
"Even if I know I'm being a bother, I'm in no state to give up on you anymore." <- Dude, she's literally avoiding you. Wrap it up. Mini should not be encouraging this behaviour.
Chizuru is straight up horrible. If she's so in "love" with him, she shouldn't be ghosting him for 3 months with no communication whatsoever no matter the reason. If she wants to stay away from him for Ruka's sake, then don't come crawling back after 3 months randomly. You're only gonna hurt her more, and you're only continuing to break the TOS again. Just quit your job at this point. She still can't even explain her feelings, but now she's about to be back to being all close with him and hurting Ruka's feelings again. Hypocrite.
Also seeing his face in a carrot is just peak stupidity.
"If, after breaking the rules, asking her out, getting rejected, and being avoided.. I'd just be a stalker, right?" Yea, you are.
Ruka literally had a point at the beginning of the episode. She's just breaking TOS like nothing at this point and should not be getting this close to a client, and he should've just come clean to his family. I honestly find it shocking they acknowledge he should've come clean but they don't even talk more about it.
And we're supposed to root for these guys?
EDIT: Also, LEAVE IT TO KAZUYA TO NOT TELL HIS FAMILY THEY BROKE UP AFTER HE SAID HE WOULD TELL THEM AFTER THE TRIP. GETTING DEPRESSED OVER BEING GHOSTED ISN'T AN EXCUSE
確かに整理すると、和也の行動は論理的には破綻してる。
家族に嘘を続け、助けてくれた人たち（泣いた瑠夏含む）に感謝もせず、断られたレンタル彼女（しかも偽装キス）を追い続け、3ヶ月も引きこもるのは明らかに不健康な執着だよな。
千鶴の行動も矛盾してる。彼女が「和也を愛してる」なら、3ヶ月も連絡絶つのはおかしい。瑠夏を考慮して距離を置くなら、3ヶ月後に突然戻ってくるのはただ傷を広げるだけ。利用規約も無視してるし、自分の気持ちすら説明できないのに親密になるのは偽善的だ。
和也が冒頭で「ストーカー扱いされる」と自覚してるシーンは、自己認識が正確すぎて逆に笑える。家族に別れたと伝える約束を果たさず、引きこもりを言い訳にしてるのは最低。
このカップルに感情移入しろって方が無理がある。制作陣が「嘘をつくべきじゃない」と自覚してるのに深掘りしないのも謎だ。考察くん+8

Wait it has a fandom? I thought there are only haters including mw
何？この作品にファンがおったとは？某も含め、ただの嫌いな者しかおらぬと思っておったわ。武士+5

Should have brought Sumi cameo at the end to forget about the rest of the episode.
最後に墨ちゃんちょっと出してくれればこの回のクソみたいな展開忘れられたのに。2ちゃん+7

2 entire episodes covering maybe 1 minute in real time, then they kiss and now we are back to miscommunication hell.
At least there is lots of anime guy yelling.
2話もの長きにわたって、現実時間でわずか1分の刹那を映し出したかと思えば、ついに口づけを交わしたというのに、再び我らは誤解の迷宮へと堕ちたのだ。
まあ、アニメの雄叫びが大量に聞けるのは救いか。中二病+7

This actually cover 3 months lol
確かに3ヶ月分をたった2話でまとめてるの笑えるよね。キスシーンは良かったけど、また誤解地獄に逆戻りかよって感じだわ。普通くん+6

What the heck so not only has he not seen Chizuru for 3 months but no Ruka either? I would have thought we would have seen them after they left the station. I expected her fussing at him a bit and wanting a kiss too. Then wanting a few dates and possibly stay over his place awhile. Yet all girls abandoned him except Mini. Did not see that coming.
草www まさか3ヶ月も千鶴どころか瑠夏とも会ってないのかよｗｗｗ
駅別れた後は絶対瑠夏がグチグチ文句言ってキス求めてくると思ってたンゴ…
そんでデート何回かして泊まり込みとかする流れやろ普通ｗｗｗ
でもミニ以外の女全員から見捨てられるとは思わんかったわｗｗｗ2ちゃん+7

Nah I wouldn't put her in that group she was on travel and had no idea about the stuff going on. She went to him when she got back. Even tried to pull him out of the slump and when it didn't work she went directly to the source to fight for him. She a real one.
いや、彼女をそのグループに入れるのは違うと思う。旅行中で事情知らなかったし、帰ってきてすぐ彼のとこ行ったんだよ。落ち込んでる彼を励まそうとして、それがダメなら直接原因に立ち向かいに行った。彼女は本物だね。普通くん+5

I think I finally get the show! Rent-a-Girlfriend (Rental Girlfriend if you sound it out) is about Mizuhara as the protagonist. All the bloat from Kazuya's POV is redundant and the show focuses on some insane man who the MC has conflicting feelings towards hence why the show is called "Rental Girlfriend". After some thoughts from the last few episodes I came to the conclusion.
やっとこの作品の本質に気づいたわ
「彼女、お借りします」って実は水原が主人公なんやな
和也視点の描写は全部蛇足で、この作品は主人公が複雑な感情抱く狂人（和也）を描いてるからタイトルが「レンタル彼女」なんやろな
ここ数話見てそう結論出たンゴwww2ちゃん+5

She's better off not getting involved with Kazuya or Chizuru anymore
確かに、彼女は和也や千鶴ともう関わらない方がいいと思うわ。普通くん+6
