00:00My name's Kazuya Kinoshita. I'm a 20 year old college student living on my own in Tokyo.
00:09Fun fact, I have a girlfriend. I repeat, I have a girlfriend!
00:15Sorry, I fell in love with someone else. Let's break up!
00:25I got dumped!
00:30She was the first girlfriend I ever had.
00:34And she dumped me after only one month together.
00:39Oh mommy, I tried so many things to bring us closer.
00:44I gotta catch the last train!
00:46Oh sure, nothing beats taking a late train to get back home, huh?
00:50She blocked me.
00:52Don't tell me!
00:54She's already moved on with the new guy?
00:57Oh man, this totally sucks!
00:59And why am I getting turned on by picturing that?
01:02Junior's a big boy now! He's ready to move out!
01:16Rent a girlfriend?
01:18What?
01:19N공'
01:20המד…
01:22...
01:28...
01:31I've had it, Mike.
02:01I'm just... so fed up with it all.
02:15What am I doing?
02:17I bet she's gonna be fugly without all the filters.
02:20An orange shirt and striped pants.
02:31Are you...Kazuya?
02:35Oh, you're in college? What year?
02:38Uh, first year.
02:39Oh, same for me.
02:41But, uh, I took a gap year.
02:43Ah, so you're older than me.
02:46Damn.
02:48She's hot!
02:50Anyone dating her would be seriously living the life.
02:55Hey, uh...
02:57Huh?
02:58Do you mind?
03:00Oh, sure.
03:05Oh, crap.
03:08I so just wanna bail.
03:10I wanna go home and sleep.
03:13Oh, so we're following the date plan I sent by text.
03:23This is the first time I've ever gone to an aquarium.
03:26Oh, uh, is that so?
03:29Wow, look!
03:30That fish is so cute!
03:32Oh, that's a glow-like tetra.
03:34You know about fish?
03:36I guess so.
03:37I just like to visit aquariums.
03:40Cool!
03:41Well, I'm sure glad that my first time was with you!
03:45I know!
04:09Well, uh, I had a lot of fun today.
04:12Thanks a lot.
04:13See you, Kazuya!
04:15Uh-uhh.
04:17Uh-uhh.
04:18Uh-uhh.
04:19Uh-uhh.
04:20Uh-uhh.
04:21Uh-uhh.
04:22Uh...
04:23Uh-uhh.
04:38What?!
04:39Outrageous!
04:40Ah!
04:41It was all just an act?!
04:43Holding hands is just part of her routine? How dare she toy with my heart like that?
04:48A moron who didn't even know common fish knaves.
04:54Use this to get by.
04:57I won't be sending you any more money for living expenses after this.
05:01Make sure not to get caught up in campus life and end up wasting it all.
05:05Are you kidding? You know, I'm not going to college to have fun!
05:13I need to give her a piece of my mind!
05:20Kazuya! I'm sorry. Hope you didn't wait long. I had to do my hair.
05:25I was worried you might not like this hairstyle.
05:28Do you like it?
05:31I mean, I don't hate it or anything.
05:33Oh, thank goodness!
05:35D-Dammit! She's so cute!
05:40Thanks! Payment officially received.
05:44Don't you feel empty?
05:47Huh?
05:49You know, going on dates with guys you don't like, and getting paid for it.
05:55Doesn't it get to you?
06:00No way! I really love this job!
06:04After all, I get to meet people like you!
06:07I assume one bag for the Mr. and Mrs.
06:11Here you go.
06:12Huh?
06:13We're not married, we're-
06:15We're dating!
06:18No, we're not really even that.
06:21Huh?
06:22We're strangers, right?
06:25Technically.
06:27Oh, uh, I guess I'll split your purchases and do two bags then.
06:34We can be whatever you want us to be, Kazuya.
06:40Look, Kazuya! Neon Tetras!
06:43Oh, yeah.
06:45They're so cute!
06:47And garden eels!
06:49They're hiding down in the sand like that because they were afraid, right?
06:53She did her homework. All for today's state.
06:56Look, enough already.
07:01Huh?
07:03I mean, really.
07:05What are you hoping to achieve?
07:07Just being professional?
07:09It's so meaningless!
07:11These relationships don't last!
07:12Stop it! Please calm down!
07:14What's gotten into you, Kazuya?
07:16You just get dumped right away!
07:18It doesn't matter how much you care about your partner!
07:21Come on. Let's get out of here.
07:31I know that was stupid.
07:35But at least I cut it off my chest.
07:39Why do all these girls get into fake relationships with people they don't even like?
07:45Okay, look!
07:55What's wrong with you? Are you stupid?
07:58Yelling like that in a public place?
08:00Drawing everyone's attention?
08:01What is your problem anyway?
08:03All day you've been saying stuff like,
08:05Don't you feel empty? And we're strangers!
08:07Seriously, are you stupid?
08:08I mean, I'm a rental girlfriend!
08:10This is just how it works!
08:12You were the one who requested this, weren't you?
08:13You saw the user agreement and clicked I agree, didn't you?
08:17Oh, I'm sorry.
08:19And why did you give me a one-star review anyway?
08:21Did I actually do anything wrong on our first date?
08:24That brought my rating down three tenths of a point!
08:28I'd only ever gotten five-star reviews before that!
08:31And I'm very proud of that fact!
08:33Here we go. Now we're seeing the real Chizuru Mizuhara.
08:37She's like a completely different person.
08:40All I can say for sure is...
08:42Could you not interfere with my job?
08:45Ugh, this sucks!
08:47Guess I'm getting another one-star review.
08:49I'm totally in the wrong.
08:51Now what?
08:53Want to continue the date?
08:56I mean, I'll tag along with you if you want to keep going.
08:59Uh...
09:02Yeah? Hello?
09:03Huh?
09:04Hey, we still haven't finished talking here, you know?
09:05She did what? Really?
09:06I got it!
09:10My gran... she passed out.
09:13Huh?
09:14I gotta go now!
09:16Hey!
09:17But you still have some time left!
09:19It's no big deal. I fainted, that's all.
09:20But we're still worried about you, Mother. Your good health is very important to us.
09:33Mom, you gotta realize that you aren't as young as you used to be. And we do have a shop to run. It's not the first time you've been hospitalized.
09:41Does this room have Wi-Fi?
09:44The phone's not a good idea.
09:46I'll get you some senior citizen's magazines.
09:48Would you like to have something soft to eat?
09:50I'm not about to kick the bucket!
09:52Anyway...
09:54Who's this young lady?
09:56Oh, I brought her in here because she was with Kazuya.
09:59Are you one of his classmates from college?
10:02Um... well...
10:04You're not his girlfriend, right?
10:06No way, honey. We're talking about Kazuya here.
10:08Of course. Right, it's Kazuya.
10:12Kazuya?
10:18G-g-girlfriend...
10:20She's my... girlfriend!
10:22Ah!
10:23G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g
10:53It's too bad I had to introduce myself under these circumstances.
10:57But still, I'm glad to meet you all.
11:03Discharge me!
11:04What?
11:06We need to get over and put together a party to celebrate!
11:09Come on, Mom! Don't be ridiculous!
11:11Listen to you!
11:12Kazuya's brought home a real hail and hearty-hearty!
11:15We have to celebrate!
11:16Hail and hearty-hearty?
11:18Can you believe it?
11:19Ah, Kazuya!
11:19He has a beautiful girlfriend!
11:22Do you have any idea what this means?
11:24Haha, Kazuya of all people!
11:27No sign of any love life for 20 years!
11:30Now!
11:31Now!
11:33Kazuya, he has!
11:39We're heading back to the store.
11:41Watch over your gran, Kazuya.
11:43Sure.
11:44And make sure you walk your girlfriend home, got it?
11:46Please come and visit us at our home sometime soon, Chizuru!
11:50Sure, thank you!
11:54Oh, by the way, you two.
11:56Have you had sex already?
11:59Hey, come on, Gramps!
12:01Physical compatibility matters a lot in a marriage!
12:04Wait, what do you mean, marriage?
12:06We've talked about it.
12:07We both just want to take these things slowly.
12:13He's your family's eldest son, so we wanted to wait until we had your approval.
12:18She can really think on our feet.
12:22Don't do it!
12:23It's okay!
12:24Day or night, as much as you want!
12:26Man, stop it!
12:29If you say so.
12:30Huh?
12:32Guess we could.
12:34This is an act!
12:35It's an act!
12:36It's all an act!
12:37Oh, right.
12:39Let me go and get the other old girls!
12:41Other?
12:42They asked to meet my grandson's girlfriend if you ever got one!
12:46Hey, what is going on?
12:49Oh, uh, this is the third time she's been hospitalized here.
12:53I guess that she's made quite a few friends.
12:56This is bad!
12:56What do I do now?
12:57Uh, why are you panicking?
13:00She's here.
13:02Huh?
13:03She's a patient at this hospital as well.
13:05Oh, my grandma's here.
13:08What?
13:08I haven't told her anything about the rental girlfriend job.
13:12I mean, isn't that, like, really bad news?
13:15Yes, that's exactly what I just said!
13:17Look, I've got to get out of here!
13:18Hey!
13:19Follow me, everyone!
13:21She's a real babe, I tell ya!
13:24Oh, crap, they're here!
13:26Come on, this way!
13:27I've never seen a girl that hot!
13:28Try not to collapse in shock, Tanaka!
13:31Oh, I'll be just fine!
13:34All of you watch out for heart attacks, too!
13:37Oh, I can't wait!
13:38An empty room?
13:39They're gone!
13:40They were here just a minute ago, I swear!
13:43It's only a matter of time before they find us in here.
13:46How about the window?
13:48We're on the fifth floor!
13:50What then?
13:51We'll have to leave one at a time.
13:53Okay, here's the plan.
13:55You go first and distract them.
13:57And then I'll use that chance to slip outside.
13:59Fine, but how am I gonna distract them?
14:01Figure it out yourself!
14:02Can't you uncheck this room?
14:04I thought that room was occupied.
14:07Let's check, just in case.
14:10Oh, no!
14:10They're coming!
14:11Quick, over here!
14:16Not here, either.
14:19Wherefore, I'll stop, Chizuru!
14:22Kazuya!
14:24Hey, what's the deal?
14:26Shh!
14:27Keep it down, stupid!
14:29That's easy for you to say!
14:32This is...
14:34The biggest crisis ever!
14:41Knock it off when the world is wrong with you!
14:43Hey, it's not my fault!
14:45It's a natural response for any guy!
14:48Huh?
14:50Get it back down right now!
14:52I can't, okay?
14:53I just can't!
14:55Listen, if you keep it up, I'll report you to the agency.
14:59Don't move!
15:00You're making it worse!
15:01Uh...
15:02You all right under there?
15:09I'm fine, thank you.
15:12Oh, good.
15:13Could I also ask you another question?
15:15Have you seen a young couple around here?
15:18Oh, uh...
15:18I heard them talking about leaving the hospital.
15:22Really?
15:23Thank you!
15:24Hey, the targets are outside!
15:26I think she's gone.
15:32Yeah...
15:36Being this close...
15:41It's deadly.
15:43She has...
15:45Such a slender...
15:46And soft...
15:48Body...
15:48Body...
15:49Wait...
15:51Right now?
15:56She's my girlfriend, isn't she?
15:58Like hell!
16:02Help!
16:02Help!
16:10What do you think you're doing?
16:12Don't you ever forget that I'm just a rental girlfriend!
16:15Hell could freeze over and I still wouldn't be yours for real!
16:17Got it?
16:18Chizuru?
16:20Chizuru?
16:21Is that really you, Chizuru?
16:27Oh, hello, Grandma.
16:33What's the matter, Sayuri?
16:35Huh?
16:36Kazuya!
16:37Oh, that's Kazuya?
16:38Hold on!
16:41Are you telling me that your grandson's girlfriend is Chizuru?
16:45Are you serious?
16:47Chizuru's my granddaughter!
16:49I don't want to make this worse for her!
16:53I'm sorry, Gran!
16:55But you see, I don't...
16:57Really have a...
16:58Huh?
17:00Kazuya's grandmother and mine are friends?
17:03Wow!
17:03What a coincidence!
17:05Like it was our destiny or something!
17:07You know?
17:11I can hardly believe it!
17:14It's just incredible to think that Chizuru is your granddaughter, Sayuri!
17:18I can't believe it either!
17:20But it all makes complete sense now!
17:22I mean, of course, any granddaughter of yours would turn out to be an absolute bombshell in every possible way!
17:29Oh, please!
17:30I can also rest easy if the one dating Chizuru is your grandson, Kazuya!
17:34Oh, yeah! We'll go from friends to family when they get married!
17:38Let's hope!
17:38No colluding!
17:39I'm sorry that you had to lie for me!
17:53Yeah, don't worry about it.
17:55It's funny.
17:56Lots of clients want to introduce me to their family.
17:58Are you serious?
17:59I share the blame, since I was the one keeping my job a secret.
18:06Let's just tell them that we broke up.
18:09I think that would be best.
18:17Yeah.
18:17My family runs a store called Nagomisake.
18:24It was started back in my granddad's time, and now my dad and mom run it.
18:29After my granddad died, gran kept it going, despite debt and my dad to worry about.
18:35Which means, to our family, my gran's kind of like a goddess.
18:40And it's our goddess's wish, that I find someone nice, before she passes on.
18:48Honestly, I'm a real grandma's boy, so before her life's over, I want to grant her her wish.
18:55I had a girlfriend for a month recently, but when I asked her to meet my gran, she refused.
19:01And in the end, she dumped me.
19:03I used that app out of desperation, and rented you.
19:10I'm so lame, aren't I?
19:12Whoa, what am I, a rabbit?
19:15Who's all alone?
19:19Everyone who's alive gets lonely now and then.
19:22Huh?
19:23Some are just good at hiding it, and they all fill the void in their hearts with work or their relationships.
19:29Oh, tell Gran, I'm sorry.
19:35And introduce a real girlfriend to her someday.
19:39I'll figure it out by myself.
19:42You can't find your true self just by renting it, can't you?
19:51Huh?
19:55Oh, what was that for?
19:58For being corny!
20:00Please don't drag me into your embarrassingly self-absorbed soliloquy.
20:05You're one to talk with the corny act you put on every day!
20:09It's my job, so it's fine to be corny!
20:16Hey.
20:18I'm sorry about today.
20:20And thanks.
20:22I'm the same.
20:23I want to make my family happy, too.
20:26But...
20:28I can't quit this job.
20:32At least I can't right now, anyway.
20:35Huh?
20:38I don't want anything like today's date to happen again.
20:42But if you find yourself feeling like a rabbit...
20:45You can call me.
20:46Nah, I doubt I'll see Chizuru Mizuhara again.
20:57I won't turn to her anymore.
21:00I'm done with pretend dating forever.
21:02You dork.
21:20This is where my real story begins
21:24The story of my precarious yet optimistic campus life
21:37Yo, Kazuya, how many times you jerked yesterday?
21:42The story of my rueful virgin life starts right now
21:47Only three times
21:49Whoa, hardcore
21:51Virgin's gonna virgin
21:53Back at ya
21:54Huh?
22:14Huh?
22:19Uh Huh?
22:19I'm doing better
22:20Hey
22:21Did you play it today?
22:22Horrific
22:35ty
22:37I'm
22:48I am not a day
22:54I don't want to be a date
22:56I don't want you to be a little
22:59I'm not a nice one
23:02I'm not a time
23:04I'm not a time
23:06I'm not a time
23:09I'm not a big one
23:11I'm not a strong man
23:13You're not a time
23:14I'm not a time
23:16I'm not a time
