A review by burniescrolls
Rent-A-Girlfriend, Vol. 1 by Reiji Miyajima

2.0

I think I've discovered that I'm not a huge fan of the 'dumb virgin boy with no social skills or knowledge whatsoever who is powered solely by his ridiculously high libido' MC. When stories are told from this perspective, it inevitably means a ton of page time dedicated to him thirsting over anyone with boobs in his vicinity and... using his fair share of tissues.

There's no denying the art is gorgeous and the character design for Chizuru is super cute. The comedic timing of the story works for what it's trying to achieve but the story overall suffers from it's protagonist being really whiny, pathetic and unlikeable and then walking all over the FMC.

In a similar vein to Quintessential Quintuplets, I'll continue reading to see if I warm up to it. In contrast to QQ, the plot/concept is more up my alley so although the MC was unlikeable, the plot and some some other characters made up for it in terms of my enjoyment.
