Kanojo, Okarishimasu (Rent A Girlfriend) Live-Action Synopsis
Abandoned by his girlfriend, Kazuya Kinoshita, an emotionally shaken student, tries to appease the emptiness in his heart through a girlfriend rented from a mobile app. At first, Chizuru Mizuhara seems like the perfect girl with everything he could ask for: great looks and a cute, caring personality.
Upon seeing mixed opinions on her profile after their first date, and still tormented by their previous relationship, Kazuya believes that Chizuru is just playing with men’s hearts and leaves a negative review. Angry at her client’s disrespect for her, Chizuru reveals her true nature: sassy and moody, the complete opposite of Kazuya’s first impression. At that moment, Kazuya receives news of his grandmother’s collapse and is forced to take Chizuru along with him to the hospital.
Although it doesn’t come off as anything serious, his grandmother is ecstatic that Kazuya has finally found a serious girlfriend, which has always been his wish. Unable to tell the truth, Kazuya and Chizuru are forced into a fake relationship – acting as if they are real boyfriends.
