Rent-A-Girlfriend Vol. 24

Rent-A-Girlfriend Vol. 24

Catch up on the manga before the anime returns! You can rent a girlfriend, but can you buy love? Reeling from a bad breakup, Kazuya rents the beautiful, polite Chizuru for a date. But rock bottom might be so much lower than he thought! Chizuru is much more than the pretty face and sweet demeanor he thought he’d bargained for…

In today’s Japan, “rental” services can deliver an afternoon with a “friend,” a “parent,” even a fake girlfriend! After a staggering betrayal by his girlfriend, hapless freshman Kazuya gets just desperate enough to give it a try. But he quickly discovers how complicated it can be to “rent” an emotional connection, and his new “girlfriend,” who’s trying to keep her side hustle secret, will panic when she finds out her real life and Kazuya’s are intertwined in surprising ways! Family, school, and life all start to go wrong, too… It’s sweet but naïve boy meets cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com!

Biographical Notes:

Reiji Miyajima is the award-winning author of several long-running shonen manga, from Edo samurai stories to comedies set in modern Japan. Rent-A-Girlfriend is Miyajima’s first manga to be published in English.

Title Notes:

Two appealing love interests who blend perfectly when money’s changing hands but are oil and water “IRL”.

Skilled and sexy artwork in a story with a modern, Japanese hook.

Japanese readers love the dual personality of outwardly-sweet but actually ruthless and domineering Chizuru.
