Rent-a-Girlfriend

When a crushing breakup leaves college student Kazuya Kinoshita spiraling, he decides to try a new trend: renting a girlfriend. What starts as a simple transaction, however, quickly spirals into a comedic — and increasingly complicated — web of mistaken identities and escalating falsehoods. With his family, friends, and even his ex-girlfriend now entangled in his charade, Kazuya finds himself in over his head, struggling to maintain the illusion while navigating the unexpected realities of his rental relationship. As Kazuya attempts to keep up appearances, he discovers that his "rental" girlfriend, Chizuru, is far more than just a pretty face, possessing a depth and ambition that challenges his own superficial understanding of their arrangement. This precarious setup forces both Kazuya and Chizuru to confront their own feelings and insecurities, all while trying to prevent their elaborate lie from unraveling and exposing the truth to everyone around them.
