Entahlah.
It's already V13 and I hope character development untuk Kazuya ni he'll stop being pervert and lazy. Honestly, aku rasa dia tak sepadan dengan Chizuru and aku sendiri tak faham kenapa Kazuya boleh jadi ML sebab sumpah dia ni teruk.
Tapi irl memang ada pun sejenis yang macam ni.
Kira better (sikiiiiiit) la Kazuya ni rajin and bersungguh-sungguh bab nak tolong orang. Yang lain tu memang out. Hauk.

Kazuya’s latest plan to help Mizuhara realize her dreams involves a lot of maybe’s and what-if’s, but it’s her best chance to fulfill her grandmother’s wish before she dies. Still, this is Kazuya we’re talking about, so no good intentions exist that don’t pave the road to hell…
Close, very close. This is tantalizingly close to turning into a series that’s more than okay. It just has a slight problem in that it can’t wait to have its male lead act like a bag of crap when he really shouldn’t.
And partly that’s on me - as a harem manga there is going to be a lot of awkward sexy nonsense going on. However, Kazuya’s inability to say anything when he’s under fire except lame excuses and his inability to not stare at somebody else’s boobs immediately following a tender moment make him a real pain in the ass to spend time with.
Look, it’s not a romance book, I get it, it’s a gag thing with an excuse to draw many a woman, but put somebody better at the centre of this. Kazuya tries very hard but fails so much that it’s painful. I will say that the art remains top notch across the board for the story and that never disappoints.
This big film storyline, which turns out to be a great way to show how competent Kazuya is at something - the scene where he impresses Mizuhara by being actually very sharp at the accounting is really well done - has him showing up for a pitch meeting knowing nothing and looking like an idiot.
Much as with the rest of this book, you can’t have it both ways. Either he knows what he’s doing or he doesn’t. But apparently he can budget a crowdfunding project but not market it? That seems dumb - like learning how to only brush your top row of teeth.
The time has really long since passed for any movement on the Kazuya and Mizuhara front and that’s part of the problem. That cheesy drowning scene moved the needle and then the book stalled out for ages doing nothing much. Again, it’s the genre, I get it, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.
We get another new girl introduced who is definitely a person who exists. Unsure what the point of her is just yet. Ruka shows up and causes a mess, the usual. Kazuya is clearly following his heart with Mizuhara and “points south” with the rest, so it’s not especially compelling.
Mizuhara at least gets something to do, as Kazuya being mostly competent and wanting to make her dream come true has clearly had an effect on her, but her wrestling with that is not helped by Kazuya’s pathetically low self-confidence.
Still, it’s at least plausible that she would start getting into him more, though the scene she shares with her grandmother is kind of ridiculous to me. Her grandmother seems quite with it, but her proclamations make me think they ought to be testing for early onset dementia.
There are quality harem books and I don’t think this is one of them - it doesn’t quite know how to juggle a cast properly and that’s part of it. It’s mostly Mizuhara with the others occasionally showing up for side things, which is kind of weird if you want to sell this to the intended audience.
Say what you will about We Never Learn!, and I said a lot, it was very capable when it came to threading its females throughout the story. This one doesn’t and it should just get to the meat of it and go from there. However, as there are at least ten more volumes coming, that seems a slim hope.
3 stars - I like to keep a couple series around as ‘disaster reads’ - stories that are fun because they are so flawed. Inflation has made me a lot pickier about this and I don’t know if I am mentally equipped to handle another ten-plus volumes of this nonsense. Guess we’ll see next time…

Now that their project is starting, it’s cool to see how it’s coming together. I’m still not a fan of Ruka, but Kazuya’s character arc is going well.

CUTEEEEEE, the way Mini Yaemori is introduced is clever. Neighbor who can’t put up with bullshit anymore. Good book, best arc of the series so far.

Four stars, four and a half for this genre.
The previous volume shifted the tone of this series significantly. Until that volume, the protagonist, desperately in love with the god-tier escort next door, had been moving forward by inches in developing a real relationship with the closed off girl, without fully breaking out of the escort/client dynamic. We saw in a flashback how traumatized she has remained from losing most of her family, and that she focuses single-handedly in achieving a somewhat unrealistic dream that is slipping out of her hands: for the moment, that of becoming a silver screen actress as a homage for her dying grandmother (a former actress), who is going to be deceased soon, and who is also about to expire. The escort is despairing because she fails audition after audition. However, the protagonist, having grown decent sized balls by this point, figured that they can crowdfund an amateur movie and that he’ll be able to produce it with his background as a business student. The escort was moved by someone she already likes to a significant extent helping her to this other extent, and allows him to help her make her dream come true.
They meet in a restaurant as actress and producer. They try to keep it professional: he needs to contact her agency and get the permission. Remaining professional is difficult for him; as usual, he can hardly contain himself from salivating over her feminine attributes. After this initial strategy meeting, in which he’ll attempt to get his crowdfunding campaign reviewed and promoted by the website’s company, he was going to pay for her meal, but she interrupts him saying that they aren’t on a date and that they should split. This is an odd series that started with the protagonists “dating”, and signs such as splitting the bill or just treating him as a neighbor is a sign of a growing closeness between them. As they are walking back to their apartment building, he can’t get out of his mind the image of the escort covering her broken expression with her palm as she asked him to please make her a movie. He tells her, again, that if she’s feeling down she can always come to her friendly neighbor, but she doesn’t break out of her stoicism. Then at home she does the “Perfect Blue” thing of dunking herself in a bath and letting it go.
The protagonist puts on a jacket and goes to meet with the executive at the crowdfunding company. The guy in no uncertain terms tells him that the protagonist’s proposal for a campaign looks like a joke: he doesn’t have any images, just the title and a competent text saying how much he wants to produce a movie for this actress. The executive demands to know if the girl has even agreed to it. The executive tells him that he needs to seriously consider the perspective of those who are supposed to pay a few thousand yen to crowdfund this thing. This encounter is the first the protagonist has with the cold, hard, harsh world of people who work in offices for a living, and he realizes he has a lot of growing up to do.
He meets with the escort on the balcony of their apartment building; they live door to door and they are separated by just a screen of sorts. As they agree that she should provide studio photos from her agency, they get interrupted: apparently someone moved into the apartment next door, and has gotten a bit tired of listening to them talking in the open for two weeks. It’s a girl in a tracksuit and fancy hair wicks. She says that she can’t work with all that talking. The escort is disturbed that someone is listening to their private conversations, and says that they won’t meet on the balcony again. The protagonist is left heartbroken, as speaking with his beloved escort that way had become his dearest moment of the day.
Next day at college, the guy is still grumbling against the stranger that ruined his fun. This being a romantic comedy, turns out that the girl is a freshman at his college and recognizes him immediately. She’s the closest thing to a traditional “anime girl” that this series has to offer, obsessed with 2D waifus and in general speaking like an overgrown chuunibyou. The protagonist himself feels that he already belongs to a different generation. He asks her, doing his best impression of a respectable adult, to please keep the secret of whatever she happened to have heard that she shouldn’t know. He figures that she’s not a bad girl, although as far as I’m concerned it’s too late in the story for an introduction like this.
Back at home, as the guy keeps working on the production, he receives a message from the escort regarding whether she can come over. After he tries to clean his dump of an apartment in a rush, he welcomes the escort, who didn’t change from the clothes she wears at home. After they start their strategy meeting he talks numbers: in a detailed dialogue we see that he has researched every possible aspect of the resources they’ll have to spend money on. The girl, who implicitly expected him to half-ass this production, is mesmerized by the sudden appearance of this grown man. The grown man, however, keeps getting distracted by the generous size of her breasts under her t-shirt, as well as how well she smells, and pretty much every aspect of the girl. He proposes that although the escort prefers to keep her life private, they could get plenty of support by addressing the dying grandma angle in the crowdfunding page. She agrees, but will ask the dying woman for permission first.
It becomes apparent that the guy hasn’t been eating properly, and the escort volunteers to prepare him dinner. As he devours the meal, he contemplates how heavenly it would be if this poker-faced escort would become his wife. Before she leaves, he lets go that he’ll contribute his savings for this project. Although she objects, he states that fulfilling her dream is also his, so he’s allowed to spend his own money however he damn pleases.
As she opens the door to his apartment, though, the guy’s actual girlfriend, the possibly underage, blackmailing Ruka, stares at the escort who has usurped her place. This annoying actual girlfriend has had to tolerate all kinds of grievances regarding the guy she chose to love, and now has discovered that her man has been sharing his apartment with the hotter escort, with plenty of signs inside that they’ve been cozy. The escort doesn’t know how to handle someone so loud and who is eager to make public scenes like the current one, in which she threatens to alert the entire neighborhood and yells about the coprotagonist’s chosen career as an escort. After this Ruka girl falls on her knees to cry, the escort decides that they’ll have a moment in her apartment and will explain to her that they are making a movie. Ruka understands the situation and isn’t surprised due to what she knows of the protagonist, but she only agrees to avoid causing further trouble for them if she’s present during the meetings. The protagonist is dismayed, because he had intended this to be a private project between his beloved escort and himself. However, you created this problem for yourself, guy, by having failed to drop this troublesome “girlfriend” who has become the manga equivalent of the hated wives in shows like “Breaking Bad” or the beginning of the “The Walking Dead”: people who are just preventing us from watching what we want to see. She’s not evil or anything, but she oughta fuck off already.
Meanwhile we as the audience see that the chuunibyou neighbor has been snooping on the loud scene while crouching on the stairs. So further trouble from another angle.
In the last chapter of this volume, the protagonist presents the updated crowdfunding page to the harsh executive from the company. It looks more professional now, with the photos and all, although it lacks the dramatic reveal of having to produce a film before the escort’s grandmother croaks, as she hasn’t asked the old bones for permission yet. We follow the escort to the hospital as she’s thinking of how manly the protagonist has seemed recently. When she opens up to the grandma that they are making a movie mostly for her sake, she surmises that it was the protagonist’s idea. The escort asks the grandma what she thought when she said back in the first volume that she had gotten a boyfriend. The grandma admits she was surprised; due to the lack of boys having been brought over growing up, she had started to suspect that her granddaughter was a les. When the escort wonders about whether the protagonist is actually a decent guy, the grandmother goes on about how the granddaughter being so hot and high class and all she has plenty to choose from, but that despite the protagonist’s myriad of weaknesses and a wandering, perverted mind, she doesn’t believe that another person better suited for the escort exists out there.
Both protagonists meet in front of their apartment building. He announces that their crowdfunded project is going to get promoted officially. She tells him that she’s gotten permission to go public with her real intention regarding this project. The protagonist is worried that she refuses to look him in the eye and that she’s in general giving him the cold shoulder, but in the end she does make an effort to thank him for being such a good fellow with absolutely no ulterior motives.
I love stories about producing things, the whole logistical aspect of it. It reminded me of a Spanish comic series I used to read back in the day, “Superlópez”, in which the main characters had to put together a movie that turned out to be a ridiculous disaster. It’s a fond memory of my otherwise utterly miserable upbringing. There are plenty of other examples of such a story out there but I can’t be arsed to think about it. I suppose (I wish) that they protagonists of this tale will get the movie done, which grandma will watch in a movie theater, that right when the movie ends she’ll do her own best “I guess I’ll die” impression, and then the escort will praise the protagonist for being so manly and demand that he throws away his kid girlfriend to marry her hotter self.
I don’t like this new girl they’ve introduced. It feels like she belongs in another series. I suppose that every Japanese story needs a chuunibyou archetype, but these days if that character can’t throw Explosions, I’m hardly up for it.
Jumping immediately to the next volume, as usual.

Kazuya! My man! I’m so proud of him for actually getting it all approved!
He’s working so hard too! That all being said though, I would like some more character development… in the sense that he be less of a perv, because he really needs to get his hormones under control!
So, I’m not really sure how I feel about Mini Yaemori… though I did find it funny when she called them out on the balcony lol.
She’s a bit of an odd duckling but so far I don’t hate her. I am hoping this isn’t another girl that “falls” for Kazuya because the poor guy has enough going on right now.
Like I said before I am still so annoyed with the whole Kazuya and Ruka situation because like clearly he’s not feeling it and isn’t going to treat her like a real girlfriend… he obviously cares about her as a friend but not a girlfriend. He just needs to break it off with her and yes, that means there is a chance that she will spill the beans about all the things but I kind of have a feeling that Mami is currently working on doing that… but hopefully I’m wrong!
Anyway, I really hope this crowdfunding works out for Kazuya and Chizuru because I want Grandma Chizuru to see her grand baby on the big screen! Even if it’s just a rented out movie theatre and some college film group making the dream happen…. Hopefully it happens and this series doesn’t break my heart!

I get that if everything is resolved between Mizuhara and Kazuya there isn't much to tell -- but the glacial pace of their relationship is getting a tad tiresome. And then as usual, Ruka derails (perhaps defiles is a better word) the entire volume with her presence. The only saving grace from 3-stars because of her is Muzuhara and her grandmother. It still gives me hope that the series is worth the effort.

A wild Ruka appeared!
And she is ruining the chanses of them falling more in love, the quality time. And all around it.
The volume was cute and really ties up every thought about the process of movie. And yes... I'm falling more in love with Chizuru ❤
Go grandma for thinking that there is no better man for her 👏

August 24, 2022I keep collecting this series because the art style is so cute, but I am getting a little sick of absolutely nothing happening. ルカ-ちゃん is beyond annoying and 一之瀬-さん is exactly the same in every volume. Seemed a little bit like something might be coming at the end of this one….. and knowing myself I’ll probably stick around to see

Why can’t Ruka take a hint??? I’m so sick of her making Kazuya choose between her and Chizuru!!! I know the only reason he lets Ruka stomp on his balls is to protect Chizuru’s “secret” of being a rental girlfriend… but still !!!!!! *screams into my pillow*

The way the story was flowing a few volumes back I was worried if it had the sustainability to keep pretty much the same rent, date, other girls fight over him kind of theme for so long, but with the whole movie aspect it seems to be moving along nicely again, only time will tell.

First volume that I read out of order, was still worth a read. Seeing the movie budget breakdown in it was actually educational for me too! I definitely recommend picking up this series.

The main story was pretty good in this volume. We get a new character that does nothing for the series and didn't need to take up space. We mainly focus solely on the two MC's for this volume and we get a little bit of Ruka in the final chapters. I really wish to see Ruka used better and figure out that situation. It was such a good part of the series and it feels like an after thought right now.

What a decent volume, and what a development!
