Chizuru Mizuhara

Chizuru Mizuhara is a 20-year-old girl who was born on April 19, 1998. She is a college student at Nerima University majoring in Literature and currently lives in room 204 of Royal Hill's Nerima, right next to Kazuya Kinoshita. Chizuru is an overly talented girl who works as a rental girlfriend in Japan in order to pay for her college studies and one day be able to become a great actress. She has two different identities, one that wears glasses and hangs out with various friends and one that represents her classic and royal appearance. Her biggest dream is to be an actress, like her grandmother once was.

Chizuru is from the anime Kanojo, Okarishimasu (Rent a Girlfriend in English, and Novia en Alquiler in Spanish). She is a rental girlfriend and the main deuteragonist. Her real name is Chizuru Ichinose, since Chizuru Mizuhara is the name she uses as her Rental Girlfriend.

Chizuru is a rather attractive girl of average height, pale complexion, and slim build. She has waist-length brown hair that has subtle reddish-orange highlights at the tips, and her hair is most notably tied up with bangs that hang down to her right side. Reddish-colored spots shine through her hair around her head. Her large eyes are white with light brown pupils. She also sports a faint pink blush on her cheeks, along with small eyebrows and a nose.

Chizuru is portrayed as a stunning beauty who draws attention wherever she goes. She is described as having a large bust, long, slender legs, and almost ideal proportions. She is quite an athletic girl and takes pride in her fitness and appearance. She has a keen eye for fashion, which is shown to be inherited from her mother Kasumi Ichinose.

Chizuru usually wears a light pink short-sleeved shirt on a daily basis, along with a small bow on her chest. The top of her shirt leaves a part of her chest visible with white stripes. She also wears a rather large white skirt, revealing her legs along with red heels with a bra.

When posing as a diligent student, she wears glasses, a butterfly accessory, and sports double-braided hair. It is later revealed that she has poor eyesight and wears a pair of contact lenses when not out with her friends.

Chizuru is depicted as a girl who possesses a beauty that one can only dream of having; light clothing, makeup and accessories.

Chizuru is shown to be a girl with a kind and considerate facade - she surprises anyone who intends to rent her, causing her to get high ratings on the dating app thanks to her services and acting like the perfect girlfriend. However, she only does this with her clients. In reality, she is sharp, brash, and calculating; showing her true self to people she doesn't like or has to put up with. Despite that, Chizuru shows a genuine kinder side when she sees people in need or when Kazuya needs her help. She gets angry when Kazuya introduces her to his grandmother, so she immediately tells Kazuya to tell his grandmother that they broke up, even so, she would blush and be embarrassed once she heard Kazuya talk about her with his grandmother.

According to her mother, Sayuri Ichinose, Chizuru used to be a 'clingy crybaby', something she has overcome over the years. Still, there is a chance she hides it with her perfect facade around others.

At first glance, Chizuru appears to be very kind and considerate, which positively surprises anyone who is considering hiring her services and having them give her high ratings. While her kindness is genuine, she is still proud of her reputation and can be a bit irritable and brash when her ratings drop. She shows this side of her to people she doesn't like or has to deal with, such as Kazuya Kinoshita.

Chizuru is described as an "iron lady", who has surrounded herself with an emotional wall that is almost impenetrable. Although she has friends before meeting Kazuya, and at first glance she appears outgoing and cheerful, she keeps her personal life at a distance. She is difficult to read and many people misinterpret this as a cold and even insensitive person. Her defense mechanism is so strong that even she fails to understand her own emotions.

Beneath all her pragmatic and professional attitude, Chizuru is a genuinely kind-hearted person. She goes out of her way to help Kazuya at the risk of losing her profession. Her kindness is also seen when she befriends Sumi and helps her improve at her job. Although she is proud of her looks and profession, Mini Yaemori points out that while Chizuru is popular and very beautiful, she doesn't seek attention like most of the attractive people she meets.

Although she is partly responsible for their fake relationship continuing, she gets irritated when Kazuya needs to be introduced as his girlfriend whenever it suits him. Although Kazuya has repeatedly tried to confess and end their rental relationship, circumstances involving their grandmothers, as well as Chizuru's compassionate nature, keep them together.

During her high school years, Chizuru was a crybaby, a bit apathetic and somewhat unruly, often fighting with boys who bullied her for not having parents. After watching movies starring her grandmother, as well as the support of her grandfather, she found the inspiration to pursue acting.

When Sayuri is seemingly nearing her end, Chizuru shows more of her weak side and refuses to accept a "sad truth" after Kazuya decided to give up on keeping up the lie because he felt guilty for continuing to lie to a person who was already about to die. The trauma of the sad truth is due to how sad she was during her spirit of pursuing her dream and wishing for her grandfather to see her before he died in the accident.

Although Chizuru acts too well as a rental girlfriend, her real personality is completely different, in case it is not revealed during a date, she can take the initiative in various ways.

Chizuru is an excellent baseball player, she knows how to swim, sing and dance incredibly well, and she is an expert in acting and telling lies. She tells in her own words that being a rental girlfriend is the perfect practice to be able to be an actress and an incredible movie actress, she has also participated in some theaters and it has been excellent for her, she also has a boy with short white hair who accompanies her when she has to go to rehearse.

During the time Kazuya saved her life when she was thrown off a ship by accident due to her dizziness, they managed to end up on a nearby island. Chizuru saved her life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Chizuru does her best to keep her work from being revealed to anyone at the university and raise enough money to move out.

Chizuru also mentions having great experiences in martial arts, so she can defend herself brutally. This is seen when she shared a room with Kazuya who kicked him in the stomach thinking he was having sex with her, threatening to take him to the Japanese prosecutor's office if he did anything weird.

Next: The story from the first to the third season.

It all starts with our protagonist Kazuya, a 20-year-old boy with short orange hair. For a long time without having any romantic relationship with any woman, he finally managed to get a girlfriend named Mami Nanami, who ends up leaving him after a month, since she didn't really love him at all for the kind of person he was. That's when Kazuya, depressed, got a dating site, where you could pay a girl to pretend to be his girlfriend for a period of between one day and a week. Kazuya quickly got a date with an overly beautiful girl named Chizuru Mizuhara, who in the end, ends up taking him by the hand. Kazuya felt happy, moved and nervous about how far he was going, until he realizes that flattery, flirting and going out were just part of his job and he did it with all his clients, so Kazuya gives her a bad review on the app, and offended... He decides to rent her again. The next day, Kazuya was seen not to be satisfied with the treatment she gave him for being a fake girlfriend, giving her hints such as if she didn't feel empty inside, or that it was a one-day relationship and feelings didn't matter among other things, so Chizuru at the aquarium with Kazuya decides to get very angry, revealing her true shameless and stubborn identity and explaining that it was simply her job, scolding him and telling him that he is not to blame for her love problems, and that she changed the good review on the app. It turns out that a few seconds later, they call Kazuya on the phone to explain that his grandmother was hospitalized, so Chizuru follows him and Kazuya accidentally ends up saying that she is his girlfriend, which is prohibited in Chizuru's rules as a rental girlfriend, plus she is not even his real girlfriend.

So his grandmother cries with joy and decides to tell the other old ladies in the place about her son's supposed achievement, since according to her words, no one in Kazuya's family had faith that he would have a partner one day. Kazuya's grandmother bursts with joy crying, she never thought that such a good and beautiful girl would be with a boy like Kazuya, who happens to be Kazuya's grandmother is best friends with Chizuru's grandmother, and she is happy about the achievement and in a wheelchair goes to the room to see the three of them, since they happened to be on the same internet user, both grandmothers are completely happy that their grandchildren are a couple, despite the fact that Chizuru's grandmother never knew that she worked as a rental girlfriend, in fact, nobody knows.

Chizuru tells Kazuya that they should stop lying and say that they are not boyfriends, to the surprise of those who go to the same university, and are neighbors (they live next to each other).

One day when Kazuya's grandmother was allowed to leave the hospital, she decides to go visit him at his house, asking about Chizuru since it was her who he really wanted to see, and Kazuya quickly goes to his home pretending a request and begging him to let her rent it alone one more time, and with a strong kick she pushes him away, telling him that he is already old enough to face his problems alone, and when Kazuya returns to confess to his grandmother that they are not a couple, his grandmother tells him disappointed and not at all surprised that it was to be expected for a boy like Kazuya... However, Chizuru with some pity appears in her girlfriend mode still pretending to be Kazuya's girlfriend who his grandmother bursts with joy and happiness for the huge surprise.

Kazuya confesses that before his grandmother dies, he wants to introduce her to a real girlfriend so that she will feel proud and happy for him, since Kazuya has long been the disappointment in the family, and never had a good chance with women, so Chizuru decides to help him, visiting Kazuya's grandmother every Wednesday when she goes to the hospital (Also because Kazuya paid her).

Already leaving the hospital, Kazuya meets his friends who ask him about Chizuru and he answers that she is his girlfriend, complicating things even more since they offer him some drinks and he decides to go with Chizuru, to his surprise, Kazuya's ex was there, Mami Nanami, who becomes loose-mouthed and vaguely confesses Kazuya's flaws in front of everyone present. Chizuru gets very angry and begins to defend Kazuya, saying that as an ex-girlfriend, he shouldn't act like that, hitting the table, to which Kazuya, unable to get over Mami ... ends up agreeing with her about his defects, Chizuru leaves angrily but still, Mami didn't say. When finally everyone begins to leave, Kazuya leaves with Mami all drunk, to which she invites him to her house, Kazuya thinking that he was finally going to have sex, is surprised to find that Mami has people in the house and decides to run off to his own by himself. It turns out that Mami was upset to see her ex with another woman, and she wants to break up with them no matter what she has to do. Although at first glance Mami is a tender, sweet and super friendly girl, it turns out that in reality she is the complete opposite, giving dead and creepy looks to whoever it is to the point that that person runs away thinking that they will do something bad to them, so much so that her friends sometimes try to get away from her in those moments.

Kazuya finally finds Chizuru and starts crying in front of her apologizing for making her angry and acknowledging that what he did was wrong, to which Chizuru mentioned that it didn't matter since she was just getting bored (Also because Kazuya is paying her).

A few days later, Kazuya decides to go to the beach with some friends, to which Mami insisted that he take his supposed girlfriend, obviously to continue bothering him. During that Wednesday, Kazuya meets Chizuru, who also went, but not for him, but for some friends, still, no one recognized them even though she was only wearing some glasses. Kazuya decides to go buy something for a moment, and also to go to the bathroom, so he closed the door and Chizuru coincidentally was passing by and Kazuya put her in the same bathroom to talk and ask Chizuru what she was doing there. Chizuru finally decides to show her identity to say that she is Kazuya's girlfriend and leave aside her friends since Mami was complicating things, and under so much pressure she lowers her friends' questions, Kazuya goes swimming, who Mami calls him to a corner asking him to help her because she lost her bracelet, although it was a lie and ends up kissing him. Kazuya ends up getting confused to the point of saying that he's going to break up with Chizuru, something too sudden (not even I expected it), and although everyone takes it well, his best friend hits him for being so capricious, although they end up fixing it anyway. Hours later, his friend invites them to a cruise ship for the two of them, so they can make up, but it turns out that Mizuhara began to feel dizzy and falls into the water, drowning, but Kazuya drops the phone with which he was talking to Mami and dives into the water, saving her, already on an island, Chizuru wakes up, realizing that Kazuya saved her, but now he is unconscious because he swallowed too much water, then Chizuru revives him by doing CPR,

And when he wakes up the first thing he thinks is: “Did he kiss me?” Later the coast guard arrives, taking them back to a safe place.

It turns out that days later, things start to get interesting, Kazuya begins to realize that he is falling in love with Chizuru and apparently she does too after he saves her from drowning.

One day, Kazuya's grandmother booked some rooms at a spa, where Chizuru's grandmother was also staying, and coincidentally the room that Kazuya was assigned to, also included Chizuru, which suggests that both grandmothers got along so well that they started having their grandchildren stay together, and since the rooms were already paid for, they couldn't refuse.

Some time later, Kuri, one of Kazuya's friends, comes to him with the news that he has a girlfriend, and asks if they want to go on a double date, that's when Kazuya meets Ruka, a 16-year-old girl, whom he previously ran into on the street. Ruka seems to feel a kind of jealousy towards Chizuru when she sees her with Kazuya, and begins to accuse her of being a rental girlfriend, to which Chizuru continues to lie and claim that Kazuya is her real boyfriend, that's when Ruka asks them to kiss to confirm it, to which Chizuru covers both lips with her hands to pretend that they were kissing. It turns out that Ruka is also a rental girlfriend and knows Chizuru because she is one of the popular and successful on the app, to which Kazuya runs to find Ruka to which he accidentally grabs one of her breasts and asks her not to reveal her secrets to anyone, saving her from falling down some stairs.

The next day, it turns out that they also go to the same university, and Ruka asks Kazuya for a simple hug, so she takes advantage of measuring his heartbeats with an app, which gives the surprise that her highest score was with Kazuya, and ends up falling in love, even exposing that his relationship with Kuri was false, depressing him, to which Kazuya runs off to his house.

A few minutes later, it turns out that Ruka has been following him and noticed that he lives next to Chizuru, to which she records that she doesn't plan to tell her secret to anyone, only if Kazuya promises to go out with her as a kind of Test Girlfriend. While Ruka sees it as a romantic relationship, Kazuya sees it as a simple test, to see if he falls in love.

After a while of not seeing Chizuru and being in a relationship with Ruka, Kazuya sees from a distance that Chizuru was dating a much more handsome guy, and afraid that he might be someone who would take advantage of her, she follows him for most of the afternoon, when they are discovered, Chizuru explains that he was only accompanying her to help her become an actress, and that the guy she was dating was just a classmate who was helping him with a script, and that he was also choosing a gift for Kazuya, a case with blue fish on it for his cell phone that broke when he jumped off the boat.

A few days later, we learn that Kazuya is now working at a karaoke bar. Kazuya was dating Chizuru and Ruka, until one day, Ruka blindfolds him and says while rolling her eyes in the shape of a Chinese girl; “I’m going to take you to a place to talk.” Then there, Kazuya takes off the blindfold to earn the surprise that she locked him in a room, possibly to have sex, but it was only to ask him about his relationship with Chizuru, once Kazuya runs out,

Ruka manages to see through her cell phone that the next day Kazuya would meet with his grandmother, to which Ruka takes the opportunity to sneak in and try to tell Kazuya's grandmother the whole truth, but she simply doesn't end up doing it since the grandmother loves Chizuru very much, although Ruka still doesn't give up.

Ruka starts working at the same place as Kazuya to be closer to him, where her friends came and told her that Kuri was depressed and posting on social media that he hated women, so with her first pay, she set her friend up with Chizuru and confessed everything to make him feel better, now, Kazuya returned a favor to Chizuru, so she decides to ask Kazuya to go out with a friend of hers who is starting to work as a rental girlfriend, who because she is shy has a hard time taking a date.

This is where Sumi first appears, whose problem was not only that she was very shy, but that she couldn't talk. But after Kazuya saved her from some boys who were harassing her, they spent some time playing and saying a few words, but it turns out that Mami saw him and called him a womanizer, but that she wasn't going to say anything to his 'girlfriend' Chizuru anyway.

It turns out that Mami managed to find the page where girlfriends are rented, and to the surprise of many... He rented Chizuru, and coincidentally they go to the same karaoke where Kazuya and Ruka work, and when he thought he was finally going to declare his love to Ruka, his nerves get on edge when he sees Chizuru and Mami together, to which he vomits on purpose to get out of work and listen to them on a bridge as his fake girlfriend defends him despite being a lost case in love, to which at home he declares his love for her... He wants to continue renting her, and both nervously go to their homes, but without denying that Chizuru has feelings for Kazuya.

We continue the story with our protagonist Kazuya, who was a little depressed because his fake girlfriend, Chizuru was going to go to a play where she would perform with a renowned film producer, who if she managed to surprise with her acting would give her an important role to audition for a movie and leave her job as a rental girlfriend and finally live off something she likes, since she works as a fake girlfriend just to pay for acting classes, and since Kazuya had to tell his grandmother the truth, he was sad about it. Kazuya sneaks into one of her performances, where Sumi was also there, but he didn't see her, and everyone was enchanted by her beautiful performance, including Kazuya. Sadly, it turns out that the role hadn't been won by Chizuru, but by a blonde girl who didn't stand out in the least like she did, since her family had interests related to the company, to which Kazuya feels sad because she will no longer be his rental girlfriend, but happy because Chizuru will achieve her dreams. After meeting on the street, Chizuru tells Kazuya that she didn't get the acting role because she wasn't good enough, to which Kazuya starts yelling at her in front of everyone that he'll pay her back as many times as necessary to help her, which cheers her up a bit and then later thanks her, which makes her happy and cries alone when she sees that Kazuya hired her multiple times. On one of their fake dates, Kazuya tells her that she can act normal around him since she has other clients and all, to which when the date is over, Chizuru asks her to accompany him to do some things to which she starts batting and giving high fives.

Then, they went to the hospital to see Chizuru's grandmother, who kindly tells Kazuya to take care of her since she is not as strong as she appears, that she was always a person who needed care since her parents died and her grandfather passed away after being an actress, so it was always just the two of them, to which Kazuya tells her that he truly loves her and that he will not leave her alone.

Back home, Chizuru asks Kazuya to let her into his house since she left her keys in the bag that was inside, Kazuya nods and Chizuru leans over the balcony to try to get past hers, but when it seemed that she was about to fall, Kazuya grabs her butt to prevent her from falling, and between nerves, Kazuya ends up on top of her on the floor, but when Kazuya expected a kick, Chizuru simply asks him to get up, since the last time she kicked him in the crotch.

Suddenly, in the apartment, someone rings the doorbell, and it is none other than Mami, who wanted to 'go greet' Kazuya since he was passing by, to which he and Chizuru hide to evade her, to which Mami, being a nosy, decides to enter since the door was open, but assuming that there was no one there, she simply left, although on the way, she remembers that there was a woman's bag in Kazuya's house.

The next day at the university, Mami tells Kazuya that she wants to talk to him in private, talking about the rental girlfriend thing and that it was just a social experiment.

After Ruka sleeps over with Kazuya, she comes out screaming and telling Chizuru everything they did last night (even though they didn't have sex that night). Chizuru seemed to be more distant for a while, possibly showing some jealousy and asking about her when she saw Kazuya.

When Kazuya's birthday approached, and when his grandmother called him, she told him that she would bring Chizuru, and since both birthdays had already passed, he had the idea of ​​celebrating both birthdays on the same day, when Kazuya went to tell that to Chizuru, she tells him that she will be late because her grandmother's condition has worsened a lot, and she will have to stay. Ruka finds out and calls Kazuya to congratulate him, so he decides to sneak in when he sees that his grandmother and Chizuru were going to be there, since it was his chance to win points with his family and tell them that Chizuru was just a rental girlfriend. Already at the place, Chizuru calls to say that she is not going to go because she is taking care of her grandmother, although when she ends up finding out about the birthday she ends up kicking her out so she shows up to go to the party. Ruka sees how all her efforts to look like the perfect girlfriend were being overshadowed by Chizuru, so sad, she decides to go to the bathroom, when Kazuya also decides to go, she kisses him. When the tension began to rise, Kazuya was about to confess that they were not really a couple and that they had already broken up, when they urgently call the hospital to say that his grandmother has fallen unconscious. Already at the hospital, the doctor explains privately to Chizuru that her grandmother's illness has worsened, and that she has little time left to live. Kazuya, upon finding out, decides that it is better to end this lie and confess to his grandmother once and for all that they were never a couple, and not die believing a lie, but Chizuru on the other hand, says that it is better to continue with the lie since it would worry her grandmother, in her last moments of life and what really makes her happy, is that her granddaughter has a good man in her life.

Chizuru, however, quite depressed, meets Kazuya's grandmother, who gives him the ring he wore when he got married, and tells him that if he ever needs money, he should sell it, but she only wants her to have it.

It is also important to mention that Kazuya is a faithful fan of marine animals.

Meanwhile with Chizuru, she continued visiting her grandmother who looked worse and worse, attending her classes while keeping a photo of her deceased grandfather, remembering that he always told her everything regarding his dreams. But one fateful day, when her grandfather was going to work by car, a boy with a white truck ran him over, leaving him in the hospital. Her grandfather in his last moments of life told her that if she has a dream, she should strive to achieve it. While Chizuru remembered all this and cried, Kazuya knocked on her door to propose a proposal, which was a fundraising page to raise enough to make a movie where she is the protagonist and give her grandmother the pleasure of seeing her on the big screen, in an adorable way, Chizuru tells him that if he is not going to regret it halfway then she would be proposed, with time against them they decide to focus on that, with the help of their friends and Ruka giving space to the protagonist they managed to raise funds.

Continuing with the Chizuru movie project, they had hired a company that would help them, but there was a problem, and that is that no one would pay to see an independent movie with an actress that nobody knows, so they were working to be able to get it, so they started distributing the flyers to ask for support for the project. Among them, Kazuya and Chizuru's new neighbor, Mini Yaemori, appears, who mockingly asked them to shut up because they don't let her concentrate, not only was she their new neighbor, but they go to the same university and she is an otaku fan of anime,

cosplay, video games and also streaming, and that she ended up finding out about the whole story that the protagonist has with Chizuru and Ruka, since when they were leaving Kazuya's room, Ruka was waiting outside and when she thought that they had something she started to cry and make a scandal, so they had to tell her about the movie so she wouldn't cause more problems, while all that was happening, Mini was arriving home from what she heard and recorded everything confused, later offering to help them since she knows that Chizuru is in love with Kazuya and vice versa.

Days later, and on the day where the fundraising for the movie ends, Chizuru meets Gumi, a friend of hers in the theater who has more than 200K followers on X, so she decided to accept the supposed date, where his girlfriend would not show up since she was supposedly sick. Already at the place, the boy did not stop telling her hints and making her blush a lot, that she was pretty and that he loved seeing her so lively, suddenly, Chizuru tells him somewhat nervously to stop, because his girlfriend could get angry, to which Gumi affirms that they broke up a week ago, making it clear that she wanted to go out with Chizuru, but she kept thinking about Kazuya for everything they went through and had talked about, so she rejected him, so he asks her if she is really in love with Kazuya, to which after making things clear, she decides to go help Kazuya distribute the posters.

With all the money raised and even to spare, they decide to start filming the movie in a park, and when everything was going well, the director of the filming on the last day leaves the last recording in the hands of Kazuya, since they had things to do, so Kazuya asks Mini for help and they end up booking a hotel for one, since they had to record it in another district. During the night, Chizuru has trouble sleeping because her thoughts control Kazuya, and because of having him so close, so the next day she asks

further into his relationship with Ruka, slightly showing his jealousy.

A little while later, Chizuru falls asleep on Kazuya's shoulder while they were on the bus. Upon arriving, Ruka found them super angry since Mini lied to her and Kazuya spent too much time alone with another girl, so to make up for it, on her birthday on August 26th, Kazuya would give and do whatever she wanted.

After that, they just had to wait for the movie to hit theaters, that's when they decide to go to the movies with Kazuya, Chizuru and her grandmother, who was super proud, so much so that as soon as Chizuru left, her grandmother happily thanks her for the excellent man that Kazuya is and everything he did for her and that she had no way to thank him, to which Kazuya tells her that they are simply very different and that he wouldn't be surprised if she left him from one day to the next, but that he would still like to be part of her life, even without being her boyfriend, even so, the grandmother is really happy, since Chizuru couldn't stop talking about Kazuya before going to the movies, and how happy she was. But suddenly, when it seemed that everything was going wonderfully and Kazuya returned with Chizuru, they see their grandmother on the floor fainted due to her condition, and they urgently take her to the hospital for an emergency. The doctors claimed that she was very delicate and that perhaps... She would not be able to survive the same night, so Chizuru became very sad, so she assumed that her only living relative was still alive, and without seeing the movie that she had promised to show her. But fortunately, Kazuya is shown that they have already finished a segment of the movie and quickly went to look for it so that his grandmother could see it for the last time, still lying in the hospital bed, but not before asking Chizuru to tell her grandmother the truth, because if not, it will be a lie that she will carry for the rest of her life, so between tears,

Chizuru tells her grandmother that she needed to tell her the truth, her grandmother with her dying breath tells her that it didn't matter if she told her or not, because she was going to accept it anyway, and after many tears in a super sad moment, the grandmother passes away. After holding the wake, Kazuya goes with his grandmother to say his last goodbye to Chizuru's grandmother. Kazuya trying to cheer Chizuru up, invites her to go to the movies, to buy clothes, to eat, to climb, and to eat again at a super luxurious restaurant, where everything was going well, until night, where they started to light fireworks, which made Chizuru remember the old times with her grandparents, which made her cry, to which she thought that one had to remain tough in any situation, at least until Kazuya arrives, who Chizuru asks him what kind of women Kazuya likes, so he describes Chizuru in genuine ways, and that despite being strong, she cries when she needs to, even if it's just a little. Chizuru, seeing that he was talking about her, couldn't hold back her tears and cried inconsolably on his chest saying that she misses her grandfather and grandmother, which also made Kazuya cry and unable to hug Chizuru.

Some time after what happened, Chizuru seemed to feel incredible, telling her grandparents' altar what happened and that Kazuya is not her real boyfriend, and indirectly telling that she was in love with him.

After that, everything started going great, everyone loved her movie, everything started going really well and her relationship with Kazuya improved a lot.

Ruka Sarashina: Ruka Sarashina is a girl of average height of 14 years old who was also a rental girlfriend who is madly in love with Kazuya Kinoshita since she had never felt anything special for another boy until she found him, on the other hand Chizuru also feels some emotions for him, despite the fact that throughout her life and the year she has known him she does not want to accept it. The relationship she has with Ruka is quite regular, despite arguing too much since it is between her friend and rival and because of her she has had too many problems. Ruka Sarashina is quite stubborn and reckless, she has short hair and a headband with a blue bow, a dark blue skirt with a white sweater and skin similar to Chizuru's and despite the problems she has, she is too harmless and only wants unconditional love to help her with her problems and dreams of showing Kazuya's family the truth that Chizuru is not his real girlfriend, but a rental one and thus prove that Ruka is his real girlfriend because of how much she loves Kazuya, something that Chizuru can't deny that it bothers her and it's as if she loves Kazuya, but at the same time she doesn't want to love him.

Kazuya Kinoshita: Kazuya is a pretty nice and outgoing boy who is going through some problems, although he usually takes horrible attitudes of the typical masturbator protagonist of the anime, but outside of that deep down he is an excellent person, despite being too repulsive and reckless, he lives right next to her and because of his attitudes he has told his friends and family that they are no longer real boyfriends on two occasions, although they must keep that lie for longer so as not to reveal too much the secret that Chizuru is a rental girlfriend. Despite so many problems they've had, they have a good relationship and they help each other constantly, despite the fact that Chizuru is still angry because Kazuya almost revealed her regarding her job as a rental girlfriend at an aquarium.

Sumi Sakurasawa: Sumi is one of Chizuru's best friends, she has trouble communicating and is also working as a rental girlfriend, she is extremely shy and several times Chizuru has asked Kazuya to help her practice so she can overcome her fears. She has a soft and gentle appearance with soft, reddish hair with a braid on the right side and reddish eyes.

Mami Nanami: Mami is a girl with short yellow hair, with a quite nice appearance, wears white clothes with American accessories and is the ex-girlfriend of Kazuya Kinoshita, the relationship that she and Chizuru have is quite complex, since they do not really get along very well, and it is Chizuru's main problem with respect to no one discovering that she is a rental girlfriend, so much so were the problems they had that on several occasions Chizuru left her in her place with a few words, at times when she acts bad or speaks badly of Kazuya at times of suffocation, as when they were in a Karaoke that asked her to stop pretending to be on top of a bridge, which showed to have feelings for Kazuya. Chizuru suspects that Mami is still in love with Kazuya and wants to get him back, which she does not agree because she thinks that it will hurt him, or it is better to leave things in the past. Mami is a girl with a double personality, a rather soft and mocking voice, she always acts calm, sweet, serene, and accommodating, but behind all that hides a horrible and intimidating being with a dead look.

Sayuri Ichinose (Deceased): Sayuri is Chizuru's grandmother, she was a great actress during her youth and was with her and her grandfather for many years. Sayuri was an older woman, plump and cheerful, with short, gray and curly hair, light or dark colored eyes and oval glasses.

She usually wore a vintage blouse and a sweater. Due to her illness, she can no longer walk for long periods of time and was most often seen sitting in a wheelchair.

When Chizuru was in high school, Sayuri's hair was as long as when she was a junior actress and not as thin as it is now. Sayuri is a happy and easy-going woman. She is completely similar to Nagomi.

Katsuhito Ichinose (Deceased): Katsuhito is an outspoken and passionate man, and quite boisterous considering his age. It is believed that his nature is what attracted Sayuri to him despite their meager livelihood, though he personally attributes this to him praying a lot.

Katsuhito is a strong believer in pursuing one's dreams and praying. Although Chizuru admired her grandmother's performances, it was her grandfather's attitude and encouragement that led her to pursue an acting career. Although this went against Sayuri's wishes, she eventually gave in to Katsuhito's encouragement.

Katsuhito and Sayuri have been happily married for over 35 years. He works as a professional taxi driver and seems to earn enough to get by. Now that Chizuru's mother has passed away and her father is no longer a part of her life, Katsuhito and his wife are the only family she has left.

Katsuhito would loudly speak words of encouragement to his skeptical granddaughter, which she usually ignored. When Chizuru came home after a fight, he would applaud her for being tough and standing firm. He would constantly remind her of the power of prayer and the will to follow one's dreams. It's also the reason Chizuru takes an interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

When Chizuru shows interest in acting, her grandmother is the first to object. Instead of agreeing with her, Katsuhito fully supports Chizuru in her dream, much to his wife's dismay. Thanks to her support, Chizuru spends the next few years working hard to pay for her art classes.

During Chizuru's high school years, Katsuhito's taxi was hit by a truck. When Chizuru heard the news, she immediately ran to the cemetery and prayed hard for her grandfather's well-being. Arriving at his hospital bed covered in dirt and sweat, Chizuru cried as she recalled the words her grandfather told her. With his dying breath, Katsuhito softly tells Chizuru that her dreams will come true.

Before his accident, Katsuhito wished that his wife would ask Chizuru one question if something ever happened to her. The question was whether pursuing her acting career was causing her suffering and whether he was encouraging her to pursue it was just a burden. When Chizuru confidently replies that she is following her dreams, Sayuri admits that Katsuhito was right all along and that Chizuru is much stronger than she thought.

Chizuru keeps a framed photo of him in her room and often talks to him when she's feeling distressed. His voice was just like Goku's.

Kasumi Ichinose (Deceased): Kasumi had dark hair cut to chin length. Sayuri Ichinose said that Kasumi was diligent and had a keen sense of fashion just like her daughter Chizuru Ichinose.

Kasumi did not like taking photographs, so only one portrait of her existed.

Kasumi was estranged from Chizuru's father when she was a young child. Shortly after moving in with her parents, Kasumi passed away, leaving Chizuru in the care of her grandparents. Chizuru was only four years old when her mother passed away and has no memories of her.

According to Sayuri Ichinose, rain clouds followed Kasumi everywhere during the most important moments of her life, such as her entrance exam, her graduation ceremony, and her wedding. There was even a thunderstorm during Chizuru's birth, although the sun rose immediately afterward.

While helping Chizuru clean her grandparents' house, Kazuya Kinoshita notices Kasumi's photo on the altar next to Katsuhito Ichinose's photo.

Mini Yaemori: Kazuya Kinoshita and Chizuru Ichinose's next-door neighbor, who is also a YouTuber and streamer on Nicolive and Twitcasting. Mini has a slim and petite build with a rather prominent bust. She has long, black hair that reaches to the middle of her back, with two distinctive blue streaks, straight-cut bangs, and a small cowlick at the crown of her head. Another distinctive feature is her protruding fang.

Mini loves cosplaying and dedicates her social media to it, so her room is filled with clothes and accessories. When not cosplaying, Mini usually dresses comfortably in a loose t-shirt and shorts, usually with a sports jacket. In public, she dresses in a feminine way.

Mini has an optimistic and somewhat childish personality. She lets her curiosity get the better of her and acts on impulse. She also tends to get carried away by the moment and says things bluntly, even coming across as a bit rude.

Despite this, he is a kind person who shows consideration towards others and promises not to get too involved in others' endeavors unless necessary. He is also confident and experienced enough to take on a commanding role in organizing people for projects. He enjoys helping others and is very supportive of Kazuya and Chizuru, as well as having his typical optimistic and persistent nature, with a typical never-give-up attitude.

Nagomi Kinoshita: She is the grandmother of Kazuya Kinoshita, who is the co-founder and owner of the family liquor store, Nagomi Sake.

Nagomi is an older woman, thin, angular and elegant who usually wears her hair in a bun.

She often dresses in traditional Japanese clothing, but is surrounded by modern technology. At first glance, she appears stern and calm. However, that quickly changes as she becomes cheerful and energetic as soon as she gets excited about something. At first glance, Nagomi is a stoic person who doesn't like too much attention focused on her when she has health problems and is very emotional when the topic of Kazuya Kinoshita's relationships comes up. She cries because she is very happy that Kazuya found a girlfriend or because the girlfriend came to visit and other situations related to those matters.

She is a very energetic girl despite her age. She loves to pamper anyone who is close to her, be it her family or a dear acquaintance. Despite being an older person, she has the heart of a modern-day otaku, even going so far as to idolize a character from a video game. She harasses Kazuya with her problems with mobile games, much to his chagrin. She also created a Twitter account to show off the progress of her shop and her lifestyle.

While Nagomi tends to overreact, she can be calm and firm when the moment is serious.

Kazuya: “So… If you are Mizuhara…?” Chizuru: “That’s right, and I keep my work a secret… Is there a problem with that? I don’t want anyone talking behind my back! Points at him with a hand on her waist. “Repeat after me… You and I, we’re not…” Kazuya: Uneasy, he looks away. “I get it! Let me go, you’re hurting me!”

Chizuru: “What are you trying to do?! Were you not going to get away from me?” Kazuya: “What are you doing in Chimoda?!” Chizuru: “That’s what I’m asking you. I came because my friends wanted to go to the beach. What do you want?” Kazuya: “Eh, well, I...” Chizuru: Looks away. “I’m not lending you any money!”

Chizuru: “I don’t want to complicate things any further… This has all been paid for!” Vaguely carries a juice “Let’s toast…” Kazuya: “Eh... Yes, yes... Cheers.” Chizuru: Smiles sweetly. “Hmmm, delicious.” Kazuya: Thoughtfully drinks a spoon. Chizuru: Squints her eyes and looks at him in a funny but sarcastic way. “Are you drinking the sauce?” Kazuya: “Uh... I thought it was soup...”

Chizuru: Gives him a powerful kick in the belly. Kazuya: Coughs while catching his breath. “What? Don’t just kick me out of nowhere!” Chizuru: “Why did you make that face? It felt like an attack!” Kazuya: “Who would want to attack you?” Chizuru: “Keep your lust under control! Don’t get me wrong, I told you to sleep here, because I didn’t like you sleeping in the hallway. A client has the right to receive the service I pay for… And if you try anything weird… I’ll see you in the Tokyo courthouse… And I have self-defense training, so I won’t be slow to respond if you try anything.”

Chizuru: “What did you say he said...?”

Chizuru: “What are you up to?” Ruka: “That's what I'm asking you. Do you really intend to keep this lie up forever?” Chizuru: “Huh?” Ruka: “Kazuya told me everything, what you do exceeds the limits of a rental girlfriend! You know that you should NOT get involved in a client’s personal life! I can be and you can get out! Don’t you think that’s the best thing for everyone?”

Chizuru: Nervous. “Eh... It’s not that simple!”

Chizuru: “I can’t… I already told you… This is my way of practicing, I have to be your ideal girl.” Kazuya: “You already are...” Chizuru: “What...?” She looks away blushing. Her eyes are not visible because of the shadow of her hair. “Hey- What's wrong with you? Don't say such embarrassing things... But it's okay, I'll do what you're asking me to do... Well, in the end the customer is in charge, right? It'll be as you wish.”

Chizuru: “Good night.”

In girlfriend mode. Chizuru: I'll open the door. Her voice is now softer and weaker “Eh... Sorry... Be... Careful...” She closes the door with her buttocks while holding a pot with her hands and red gloves. “I was busy making dinner...” Kazuya: “What the hell? What are you doing here?” Kazuya’s grandmother is very surprised. Chizuru: “What are you saying, Kazuya?~ You were calling me all day. And since Grandma was going to be here... I had to come no matter what!” Glare

Chizuru: “I love to work out from time to time… What about you?”

Chizuru: “Wow... It looks delicious...~ It looks like a crab avalanche.” Kazuya: Nervous. (OH HOHOI NOOO, WILL I HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS MEAL?) Kazuya: “Hey... Are you sure you can afford it?” Kazuya: “Y-yes, I have it all... Coldly calculated.” Chizuru: “Did you take it for sure? Because I’m going to eat.” Kazuya: “Can’t you trust me?” Very nervous. Chizuru: Puts her hands together in a prayer shape, and makes her face like a rabid cat hungry for a joke. “Then enjoy.” For some reason, cats can be heard in the background.
