I rarely review any anime I watched, mostly because it is just too troublesome. This anime Rent-a-girlfriend season 1 was funny, season 2 was really great, season 3 took a more serious turn with much more stake on the line really show depth and dedication of Kazuya for his true love, season 4 is feeling like the beginning of something great but unfinished. It is a great story, but that is not why I write this review, I write this review to thanks the author for reminding me how hard it is to really find true love and how fortunate I had beenand grateful for what I have despite the up and down of life.

I feel connected to this story and the characters, while I do not have their crazy backstories (Thanks God for that!!). However, I been the shy teen that couldn't utter a word and the truly profess my feeling, like the season 1 and 2 Kazuya and Sumi (well pretty much her entire character arc so far, I do hope she will get more development. I was the guy version of her minus the un-godly beauty). I grew up like Kazuya did managed to hang my feeling on my sleave, and developed the courage to profess my love to my dream girl whom is now my wife (my wife in many way was out of my league like Chizuru) strong, kind, smart, and such a hottie. I did more stuff than I could count to try to win her over; and over the many years we been together and having 2 wonderful children made me complacent and forget all of that. As stupid as it sound, this anime reminded me of what true love is all about, how hard it is to find, how I like Kazuya had changed for the better, how we muster up the courage to profess our love to the one we love even though thing could turn out badly for us. Rejection is no fun certainly but to have love and lost is better than to have regret, I learned this lesson just at the right time. This anime reminded me of my love for my wife and how lucky it is to find true love in this life, we went through a tough time recently, but I love her still now more than ever. In my case, my life story turned out wonderfully and it been a blessed 15+ years since I meet my wife. Season 4 ended with a cliff hanger, however I am looking forward to see how the story progress, how Kazuya and Chizuru could end up in that chapel in the end.

I would love to share this anime with my wife which have great art style, but I don't know how she would feel about such a cringe story. However I am looking forward to the conclusion of Rent-a-girlfriend and maybe sharing the entire series with her as she hates broken story.
