After college student Kazuya Kinoshita is dumped by his girlfriend, Mami, he decides that instead of trying to find a new one he will rent one! He goes on a date with Chizuru and things go well... until afterwards he feels there was something false about the evening and gives her a bad review. She contacts him to find out why and they end up going on a second date. Things soon get complicated; neither realised they went to the same college or lived next to each other when they started the arrangement and then their grandmothers, who happen to know each other, learn they are dating without knowing it is a professional arrangement; neither of them want their families to know the nature of their relationship. Inevitably as the series progresses things happen that threaten to reveal the truth and another girl starts taking an interest in Kazuya.
When I saw this series listed I thought it could be interesting but feared it might end up another harem show at best or something sleazy... it turns out it was neither. Instead we get a solid story with characters that feel real and have depth to them. The character designs are good as is the animation. Overall I'd definitely recommend this series to anybody wanting romance, humour and emotional depth. The final episode suggested there may be more to come... I'll certainly be watching if more is produced.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
