Thread 279578581

like, genuinely, everything I hear about this series has been against my own consent, and it just seems like a gigantic shitshow. I'm not even trying to start a flamewar or an argument, but like, the entire premise of the show is about a lonely guy who's spent over $250k on a single girl and STILL doesn't get the girl by the end of it, all while creator of the series acts like she's his girlfriend despite having a wife and kids and effectively made an entire world just to fuck with one guy.
what is the main demographic for this series? like, genuinely? is it really just people with an NTR fetish? is the entire story just to cuck the reader out of a happy ending?

>>279578581 (OP)
I think the mangaka was trying to tell readers that simping will get you nowhere

>>279578581 (OP)
I don't know but the American version was way better and didn't take ten years to finish.

It's literally just hate watchers, it's popular from hate watchers. It's genuinely the most frustrating show to watch ever, every single episode the MC does some absolute cringe shit even worse than the last episode. It's addictively bad.

>>279578581 (OP)
I'm honestly not even mad at the ending. The MC is so pathetic and unlikable he 100% deserves it. Also, doesn't he have like 2-3 other girls who are madly in love with him for no reason?

Dropping this garbage at chapter 20 or so was the best decision I ever did and ensured I, luckily, never have given or will give shiunji-ke a chance either. Absolute garbage. Anyone who likes this shit is mentally ill.

>As we’re all familiar with, Pretty Woman ends with Richard Gere rescuing Julia’s Vivian from her life of prostitution, turning up in a limo and blasting their special opera song. Vivian then promises to “rescue him right back.”

>However, Pretty Woman was originally slated to be a gritty, dark drama with an ending that we’d all need rescuing from
In the interview and details shared in other reports, it’s revealed that Pretty Woman was originally meant to be called 3000 - a reference to the amount of money Richard Gere’s character paid Vivian to be his escort for the week.

>Instead of the Cinderella story that hit theaters in 1990 – becoming an instant classic and cementing Julia Roberts as a Hollywood star - screenwriter J.F. Lawton had conceived the story in the late 1980s as a dark, depressing drama centering on the dangers facing Hollywood sex workers at the time.

>Instead of Richard Gere’s character’s swoon-worthy climb from his limousine to "rescue" Vivian from her fire escape, Julia explains that the film ended with her being thrown "out of the car, [he] threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away, leaving her in some dirty alley."

>The original ending left viewers with a final shot of Vivian on a bus with best friend and fellow prostitute Kit De Luca headed to Disneyland as she "stares out emptily ahead."

I never finished Pretty Woman but the orginal plan sounds better and less of a simp story.

>>279578581 (OP)
cucks
the reader even gets denied a good story and character development

Rent-a-girlfriend is a simp story cause its Japanese which is a cucked country. Pretty Woman ain't cause its American where good miraculous things actually happen.

It's a commentary on how seeking a loving relationship from prostitutes is a fool's errand.

>>279578581 (OP)
Me. I don't read the manga though I just jerk off to the characters.

>>279579936
That needed a commentary?

>>279580094
In Japan, yes.

>>279578581 (OP)
It's actually a brilliant manga — everything was deliberate. You've gotta read it from the perspective of the average young adult male in Japan.

>Rent-a-girlfriend is a simp story cause its Japanese which is a cucked country. Pretty Woman ain't cause its American where good miraculous things actually happen.
I was shocked by this post at first but then I remembered this is a cuckshit thread.

Are the Japanese mad with the new chapter if not expect the same shit to continue

>>279579439
by that I mean that everything I have heard about this series was not of my own choice. the shit usually just gets thrust into my gaze and I'm never happy when it appears.

>>279579182
damn.

>>279578897
Not likely as he literally simps for his tulpa Chorizo irl

>>279578581 (OP)
The main demographic is people who read the first 20 chapters, then continued reading out of habit. That's the main demographic for pretty much any romcom. They're made to suck readers in early, then just coast.

Japs tend to be far less likely to verbalize their distaste than western audiences, and they also tend to be more satisfied with slop (there's a reason Isekai's are still made - Japs love that garbage), so don't hold out hope

>Who is it for?
Soap opera watchers, telenovela drama enjoyers, people who have read romcom but want something unorthodox.
That’s why it’s a bad “romcom” but a good shitshow.

>>279581988
so the entire thing is just "here's characters you like, we're gonna fuck em over"

damn, okay.

>>279582267
...huh, I can see that, actually, but I still think it sounds like complete ass LMAO

His family is rich, not zaibatsu rich but still rich

$250k isnt that much for someone in their 20s

>>279578581 (OP)
The kind of people that get a boner when having fantasies about some chad fucking their girlfriend.
It was there from the very first chapter, they knew what they were getting in for.

>>279582630
damn, are people really this desperate for companionship? fiction or not this sounds like it's just designed to be sad.

>>279582439
sure bud

>>279582119
Why would he get the girl for spending money? The trick to getting a real gf is to ask them on a date asap, and kiss them on the first date. Money only goes so far so you don’t look or smell like a runt and can afford to go out and have a vehicle.

>>279582369
It’s not like there isn’t a heartfelt moment or two like when they were making a movie for a dying grandma or volunteering at a kindergarten, but you also get batshit retarded moments like the entire pool resort drama or an entire plot thread about the girl on her period.

>>279583033
If he knew that, he wouldn't have bought Chorizo to begin with.

>>279578581 (OP)
Man, this is the only series I have ever dropped. Good to see it's still going and nothing is still happening. Based Reiji, remember when he stole the lifesize Chirizu cutout? Good old days.

>>279578581 (OP)
did the mc even get to fuck her?

>>279578581 (OP)
>is the entire story just to cuck the reader out of a happy ending?

but it did have a happy ending

>>279578581 (OP)
I tried to read it, and it was kind of decent in the first 8 chapters. Like, yeah, the MC is a loser, but at least from what I've read so far, he still had some lapses of conscience and tried to do the right thing. The problem is the fucking plot cucking him in the most retarded ways ever. For example, Chizuru being ambiguous and doing far more than what her role is and purposefully screwing Kazu's chances of him getting back to his girlfriend.The beach arc (chapter 12, I guess) made me unbelievably MAD. Chizuru could have said that they broke up, but she still pretended to be his girlfriend, forcing Kazu to break up with her in the most anticlimactic way possible, but at least it was the right thing to do... BUT THEN we had that retarded cringe fest that was his friend acting more beta than Kazu, making a scene over "Chizuru's honor," and in the end they just

>well I guess we cant end this farce because that cuck gave us a speech

Holy shit. I really don't know how that shit didn't lose readers right then and get axed. My guess is the author will cuck the protagonist with the most unbelievable and retarded situations ever, even at the cost of character assassination, just to keep the status quo forever. From that moment it was obvious the author wasnt pretending to develop something serious just cheap misery porn without porn.

>>279584117
>From that moment it was obvious the author wasnt pretending to develop something serious just cheap misery porn without porn.
this is how I've seen this series, this is all I've genuinely heard about this series, and from the seems of it? it seems that outside of like, the early beginnings, that's all it has been and all it ever will be.

>everyone focused on the money spent
Honestly wish this was the only thing he's done for her.

>>279584117
chizuru had to keep the farce to remain in good graces with kibe else it would lead back to her grandma finding out and she didn’t want that. at least if they went on the boat then they could explain that they talked it out on their own terms and broke up more believably.

>Nothing still happens in Rent-A-Girlfriend"

Sometimes I fell dumb when I watch something and don't remember what happened, but not with this one, since NOTHING HAPPENS AT ALL.

>>279584266
it’s misery cause the characters do stupid shit and you don’t want to witness them being stupid but sometimes people do stupid shit and it leads to shit consequences for them, sometimes readers can’t handle a heavily flawed cast of characters and that’s okay.

>>279578581 (OP)
>all while creator of the series acts like she's his girlfriend despite having a wife and kids and effectively made an entire world just to fuck with one guy.
why do every men in the world always throw their happy and loving away life to end up being an degenerate creep?
and these same kind of men keep asking to themselves why no one in society accept for what they are...

>>279584874
maybe the author likes cuck fetish, but his wife disagreed so he made a cuck manga to satisfy his fantasy instead
very plausible imo

>>279578581 (OP)
Is the manga over?

Just use two brain cells and you’ll understand the entertainment value of Rent-a-Girlfriend.

No, no she didn't.
>>279584466
>it would lead back to her grandma finding out and she didn’t want that
Her problem.
That's not what happened though. Even after the whole thing with her almost drowning they were supposed to "break up". They only continued the farce because Kazuya feel for her for real and asked her to continue it during the ryoukan trip where they slept in the same room for the first time. It was completely on him.

>>279585429
Considering it breached into xitter, yes.

>>279585849
I hope that's just twatter's standards of constitute as compelling, and not yours
because this place has higher standards

>>279585454
ok that wasn’t even the worst reason they stayed together though. they tried to come clean multiple times but author inserted multiple deus ex machina to prevent it.

>Who the fuck is Rent-a-Girlfriend even made for?
For zoomers and their dream to date an e-thot, to win her love by simping. Previously, it was a female's dream to leave prostitution because of a rich client, but times have changed

>>279585454
Is it really hard to believe she didn’t want to be a rude cunt and accepted the boat trip?

>it was completely on him
What’s wrong with wanting to know more about a girl? That he rented her to do so? You should’ve dropped it upon reading the title then. Also at this point she was fully invested in his growth as well.

>>279586838
thread OP here; incorrect, I come from somewhere even worse lmao

>>279587612
reddit then

>>279587809
I would buy the entire manga if the author creates a character with his name and makes chizuru date him and marry him in the end while kazuya watched from afar lmao

>>279587809
I hope the manga end with Kazuya single

>>279587844
lol

Why the shadow guy from Detective Conan is fucking Mami?
>>279578581 (OP)
The author of this shit loved the AoE ending
So expect be cucked like the Mikasafags

>>279582119
Because the girl realizes the guy will keep throwing money at her and she doesn't need to do more than entertain his fantasies. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Sounds normal to me.

I guess this means Mami was not the only sociopath here

>>279578581 (OP)
It's a cautionary tale against simping.

>>279590117
Normally, they would have fucked already.
Or gotten a handie.
But nope, nothing, nada.

>>279582630
Why is he imagining himself getting cucked while browsing for a prostitute?

>>279590321
He's thinking his ex (Mami) who just dumped him is cucking him

>>279587976
>Why the shadow guy from Detective Conan is fucking Mami?
She witnessed him doing a murder and he let her free if she fucks him.

Why doesn't he go to Soapland or some Japanese Brothel?

>>279590469
because he is dumb

>>279590469

Because he *loves* her and she's not a whore (that would be more honest). If anything he could just fuck Ruka who made a move on him more than once.

>>279590469
He wants a relationship.
You people are so fucking retarded thinking that everything is sex sex sex sex.
If it was about sex then it would have happened by now.

>>279590648

Nah, they're mostly right. Kazuya thinks he does love her, but his obsession is at least 99% about her looks, and ironically if there's some redeeming parts in Chorizo it's her drive about acting and inner strenght - which he doesn't care about.

So yes, he does want a relationship, but it's something closer to lust than love.

>>279590830
>which he doesn't care about.
Except for the part where he made a movie for her.

>>279590853

That's what she needed, not something he admired her for. Or at least, if she gave up about her dream, he wouldn't give a fuck.

Ironically he might think higher of Sumi (who to be fair does seem to be a better person).

>>279579283
that original ending sounds like the ''subversive'' shit writers do nowadays, im glad that at least in the 90s people had good taste

Midzuhara is fucking evil. Kazuma has done so much for her, yet still she constantly bitches around him.

In the just world, she would be raped and murdered on one of her whore outings.

Is it 250k yen or USD

>Mami
Isn't she still calling him to get back together?
I know this guy is a simp, but why would she expect him to go back to her after she cheated on him and broke up with her?
Also, let me guess she got dumped?
Isn't this also the same whore who got pregnant in middle school, got dumped, and had to get an abortion?
That bitch might be even more of trainwreck than this dude

>>279596068
Thinking feminists are right is how you get this manga.

>>279596186
No. Not locking up men like literal livestock is how you get manga like this.

Men are idiots. They cannot be reasoned with, they cannot be taught to behave. All that can be done is lock them up or beat them into submission. To whatever extent men are capable of being more than themselves, it's in the capacity to control other less sapient men.

>>279595962

wtf are you doing here then, fag

Guess pressing 1 button isnt that interesting after all

>>279578897
does someone have evidence that the mangaka's wife cheated on him in the past? that could be a major factor behind all this—the manga would end up being his venting outlet for how unfaithful his wife was

>>279596413
1 illustration every 10 pages? damn, are romance VNs more image heavy or is my touristy-impression just colored by verbose-ass VN's?
