The chapters are incredibly light, unlike with some manga series that have 50-page chapter counts. Most chapters of Rent-a-Girlfriend can be completed in just a couple of minutes, which is one of the reasons it's a weekly series.

The Wild Rent-A-Girlfriend Finale Ends With Kazuya Confessing to [SPOILER] Rent-A-Girlfriend's season finale delivers high drama as romantic feelings swell and one girl's passion moves Kazuya to tears. By Joe Ballard Sep 29, 2020. Share. Share.
The highly anticipated Season 1 finale of Rent-A-Girlfriend has arrived, and it delivers plenty of action, suspense and high drama... while resolving absolutely nothing.
Even though this series now has 18 volumes and 162 chapters, it probably won't end anytime soon as the complications and mystery around some girls continue to grow. This manga will likely go on for several more years.
Volume 8Rent-a-Girlfriend, Volume 8.
Despite her being the one who broke up with Kazuya, her actions made it seem like she still likes him, however, she just wants to make Kazuya suffer at the end of the day. Mami would still act all nice and sWeEt around Kazuya pretending nothing had happened before....About.MangaKanojo, OkarishimasuSpoilers?Yes.3 more rows

Chizuru- You often get frustrated at kazuya for not usually being able to anything right with chizuru and you often think about how’d you’d do much better in his situation.
Guys do any of you know when chapter 200 will come out (ps i'm italian so the drop time could be different).
Wow. I can't believe I almost skipped out on this. From the scores/reviews on MAL, I really thought that this show would just be some cheap harem with no character development, romance, and actual substance. Yeah, the MC is annoying at times, but he's definitely improving.
Is Rent a really shy girlfriend a side story to the manga with different characters & Sumi or does it have to do with Sumi & Kazuya? by the way I am only on volume 7 so if my answer lies within that volume then please don't spoil anything for me!
It's unclear what she gets from this, though the finale offers a hint at an answer: nothing at all. She's like an empty shell without any real emotions. When Chizuru passionately pleads with her regarding Kazuya's feelings, Mami dodges her questions without a care in the world. She has her fun blackmailing Chizuru into a rental date at the karaoke bar, where she admits she can't stand the perfect girlfriend act and tells her to leave Kazuya alone. But while both girls make important points about Kazuya, their reasons are entirely different. Mami simply hates Chizuru, while Chizuru cares deeply about Kazuya's well-being and wants him to be happy.
After largely ignoring Ruka and treating her like a pest, Kazuya's desire to let Chizuru go once and for all leads him to view her in a different light. She's a sweet, honest girl who holds strong, unrelenting feelings for him, so he figures it's worth putting an honest effort into the relationship. The problem is, his decision is driven by a perceived need to shelve his true feelings for Chizuru so she can pursue her acting dream in peace, rather than any genuine feelings for Ruka. Yet, just as he's in the process of confessing to Ruka at the karaoke center where they work, he's shocked to suddenly see Mami -- with a deeply uncomfortable Chizuru in tow.
Luckily, a season 2 for Rent-A-Girlfriend was confirmed after the initial airing of the finale. So the hijinks, misadventures, love and laughs of the pathetic protagonist and his colorful yet (mostly) lovable friends are to be continued.

The highly anticipated Season 1 finale of Rent-A-Girlfriend has arrived, and it delivers plenty of action, suspense and high drama... while resolving absolutely nothing. Confessions are made only to be glossed over by the endlessly spineless protagonist, Mami rents a date with Chizuru for her own twisted motivations and Ruka's place as Kazuya's provisional girlfriend grows even cloudier than before. It all makes for a season finale that's equally enjoyable and frustrating, leaving more questions than answers.
Rent-a-Girlfriend hasn't been published for that long in the West, but the company responsible for the manga is Kodansha. So far, a total of three manga volumes have been published in English, with the fourth being slated for December.
The chapters are incredibly light, unlike with some manga series that have 50- page chapter counts. Most chapters of Rent-a-Girlfriend can be completed in just a couple of minutes, which is one of the reasons it's a weekly series.
6 Ruka Is Different. Ruka is portrayed a bit differently in the manga than she is in the anime. For starters, the manga has a whole chapter dedicated to talking about her heart condition and how it has affected her life thus far. Secondly, Ruka has a much more childish character in the manga than she does in the show.
The series does not have an ending yet, and more chapters are currently being written. While many viewers probably want to know who Kazuya is going to end up with, the manga hasn't even revealed this fact.
The Rent-a-Girlfriend anime was one of the hottest romance shows of the summer and left fans with tons of questions. Understandably, many have started to look into reading the manga in order to find out what happens to Kazuya. Many fans have presented the manga to be the superior version of the story and are already much farther ahead ...
Rent-a-Girlfriend is no different, and several bits of content have been either left out, changed, or altered. One of the biggest things new readers notice is that the first chapter of the manga is a bit different than the first episode of the anime and that there is more content in the first few pages of the manga.
This can get frustrating once a reader is caught up as the chapters coming out feel like an information trickle when put into comparison with other ongoing series.
Here are 10 differences between the Rent-A-Girlfriend anime and manga. Rent-a-Girlfriend is an anime where a college student named Kazuya pays to go on fake dates with a beautiful girl named Chizuru. While the anime did a pretty good job of adapting the source material, it wasn't perfect. As most anime and manga fans already know, ...
4 Some Chapters Are Left Out. Like with the chapter explaining Ruka's health condition, a few chapters are left out for various reasons. While some may be due to the more adult-oriented themes, Rukas is a bit of a mystery. Also, scenes are expanded on, like Kazuya and Chizuru's first date.
The characters speak in a more mature tone, except for Ruka, who seems more childlike in most of the manga panels. Chizuru especially feels more like a young college girl in the manga, and Kazuya is a lot blunter than he is in the anime, ...
Dialogue changes often happen when an anime is made; some lines are expanded, while others are shortened. In the anime, Kazuya seems to lean a bit more towards actually wanting to date Ruka.
The manga translates Kazuma's username to reveal that aquariums inspired it. This quirk really helps show some of Kazuya's personality outside of just being a love-struck college student in the story.
The Axolotl mocks Kazuya at times and is often shown to be angry about not being fed. He is a fan-favorite character for manga readers and, with some luck, will get more screen-time in season two of the anime.
When Kazuya decides to go on a double date, he meets Ruka, who later confronts him about renting Mizuhara. The conversation between Ruka and Kazuya is rather brief and straightforward, while in the manga, it's much more complicated.
This leads him to dating a girl named Chizuru and accidently lying to both of their families about ...
Kazuya also ends up meeting Ruka , a young girl who falls madly in love with him, and Sumi, a shy rental girlfriend, who has a hard time even speaking around strangers. As each chapter goes by, the dark inner working of Rent-a-Girlfriend 's story are more and more prominent.
This, of course, didn't happen as her grandpa died early on, leaving only Chizuru and her grandmother. Due to the state of her grandma's health, Chizuru was forced to find her own way to pay for acting school.
Getting chosen for a play meant that she would no longer have to work her rental job and would finally be free to focus on her studies and career.
Nothing about Chizuru's back story is easy. Chizuru lost her parents at a young age and went to live with her grandparents, who she looked up to. Chizuru, at first, was a very open and cheerful girl who had dreams of stardom.
This slowly makes Ruka feel less and less important, wearing down her self-esteem.
With Chizuru realizing her grandma was dying, her only wish was to be able to appear in a small movie that she could show her grandmother before she died, but time was extremely limited.
