According to the synopsis provided by Kodansha US, the official publisher of the English version of the Rent-A-Girlfriend manga, the series delves into the complexities of love and the concept of renting relationships. The synopsis reads as follows:
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});“Can you rent a girlfriend, but can you buy love? After a devastating breakup, Kazuya turns to Chizuru, a beautiful and polite rental girlfriend, for solace. However, the depths of his despair may be far greater than anticipated. Chizuru is not merely the charming facade he bargained for; she possesses layers of complexity. In modern-day Japan, “rental” services can provide companionship in the form of a “friend,” a “parent,” or even a fake girlfriend.”

Unbeknownst to Chizuru, her secret side job as a rental girlfriend becomes intertwined with Kazuya’s life in unexpected ways, leading to moments of panic and revelations.
For fans eagerly awaiting the release of Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3, it is worth noting that the previous two seasons of the series are currently available for streaming on Crunchyroll, the platform holding the distribution rights.
