The anime Rent-a-Girlfriend (Kanojo, Okarishimasu) has the following description: Kazuya Kinoshita, a college student emotionally shattered by the abandonment of his girlfriend, tries to appease the emptiness in his heart by renting a girlfriend through a mobile app. At first, Chizuru Mizuhara appears to be the perfect girl, with everything he could ask for: great looks and a friendly, caring personality.
Seeing mixed reviews on her profile after their first date, and still haunted by his previous relationship, Kazuya believes Chizuru is just playing with men’s hearts and leaves her a negative rating. Angered by her client’s lack of respect for her, Chizuru reveals her true nature: brash and temperamental, quite the opposite of Kazuya’s first impression. At the same moment, Kazuya receives news of his grandmother’s collapse and is forced to take Chizuru with him to the hospital.
Although it turns out to be nothing serious, his grandmother is ecstatic that Kazuya has finally found a serious girlfriend, which had always been his wish. Unable to tell her the truth, Kazuya and Chizuru are forced to maintain a fake relationship, acting as if they are real lovers.
