Kanojo, Okarishimasu , or also known as Rent A Girlfriend , has become one of the most popular romantic anime series in recent years, however, it is not without its controversies that keep it in constant discussion. Much of its popularity is due to its unique plot that revolves around a rental girlfriend. However, the series has also been the subject of criticism, one of which being the lack of development of the main character.
Interestingly, the protagonist, Kazuya Kinoshita, is actually a reflection of the author's personality. This was stated by Reiji Miyajima in a recent interview during the launch party of the K Manga service, where he was asked if any character in the series reflected his own personality from him.
- « Just like Kazuya, there are things that I can't bear no matter how hard, like dealing with pain. I say what I want through Kazuya. As a result, readers tell me the story is funny and relatable, which helps me emotionally ."
Speaking about Chizuru Mizuhara , Reiji said:
- Chizuru , on the other hand, is naturally attractive. She's also hardworking, but she's definitely an unlucky girl. Despite that, she does not give up. I think the world can be cruel at times, and my stoicism is reflected in her ».
It's no surprise that Mizuhara receives praise from Reiji sensei. On several occasions on Twitter, the author has expressed his love for her character, even going on a date with her or admitting that Mizuhara is his girlfriend of hers (although Reiji sensei is married).
“Kanojo, Okarishimasu” has been the subject of constant criticism due to the embarrassment of the protagonist, Kazuya Kinoshita, and the lack of development of the romantic relationship between the main characters . Some critics have suggested that the author is too enamored with her creation, specifically the protagonist Chizuru Mizuhara, which prevents Kazuya from establishing a romance with her.
Despite the controversies and criticisms, the anime adaptation of "Kanojo, Okarishimasu" will premiere its third season this summer. Although some fans may have reservations about the direction of the series, it remains a popular choice among fans of the romance genre. It will be interesting to see how the plot unfolds and if the concerns raised by fans are addressed.
As the third season approaches, fans of Kanojo, Okarishimasu hope that the protagonist's problems will be resolved and the relationship between the main characters will develop satisfactorily. Although the series has been the subject of criticism, its popularity and success thus far indicate that it still has a solid following that is eagerly awaiting its return to the screen this summer.
