![]() ![]() or, I suppose, those intelligent enough to steer clear from this wheel-spinning fiasco!īecause at the end of the day, and the episode, and the season, Kazuya and Chizuru still can’t really imagine each other as boyfriend and girlfriend even if they have developed some feelings for one another. Rent-a-Girlfriend is a marathon, not a sprint, and isn’t for the weak-hearted or impatient…. So yeah, there are clearly still a few more steps that need to happen before these two can consider dating for real, but groundwork that didn’t exist at the start of the season has most definitely been laid. She knows they now know the truth, but also that Kazuya’s a good kid, and that she feels better after crying to him. When we finally get some time in her head, she’s talking to her grandparents at her shrine to them. He and Chizuru also share an awkward moment on the balcony where she settles on what to wear for the screening in a week’s time. Of course, Kazuya puts his hands up and reverts to his whole “I’m just a client” spiel, which has at this point become absurdly tiresome. She tells him he definitely made progress, but can’t stay still: the next step is going on a real date, with no money exchanging hands. Kazuya doesn’t his usual overthinking thing-even wondering if she was acting-when Mini teleports into his place to hear his report. That said, their date ends with her shrugging off the tears and returning to her bubbly Rental GF self as they part ways for the night (which in hindsight is odd since…they’re neighbors headed to the same place). And that she feels she’s not only able to cry in front of Kazuya (despite the fact she’s technically still “on the job” at that moment) but cry in his arms, says a lot about how far they’ve come, even if his description of her doesn’t count as a true confession. Kazuya isn’t sure what exactly he said or why he said it, but it ended up being a very effective cathartic moment.Īt the end of the date Kazuya hoped would cheer her up, instead he made her cry, but it felt like a good cry, a necessary one. Given everything Kazuya tells her, she recalls another memory with her grandparents, and the waterworks start gushing out all at once. He goes on to perfectly describe Chizuru, including the fact that she can sometimes let her mask slip and cry.Īnd cry she does. I’ll give him this, though: before she can slip away with a thank you and good night, he does manage to do one thing: Tell her what his ideal girlfriend is. In fact, even when he knows she’s crying, she laughs it off as smoke in her eyes, and the fireworks continue with her making innocuous small talk while Kazuya gets lost in his head. ![]() Well…Kazuya doesn’t light Chizuru’s sparkler. ![]()
