Kazuya and Chizuru announce in front of Kazuya's friends that they will continue being a couple. Later they meet Shun, who tells Kazuya that he has a girlfriend too and wants they to go on a double date. Kazuya tries to prevent it, but Shun had made his mind already. Going home, Kazuya bumps into a girl and see her panties, for which she calls him perv.

On the date of the double date, Shun takes them to a free climbing place and introduces his girlfriend Ruka Sarashina. Kazuya recognizes her as the girl he bumped into and can't believe Shun got such a beautiful girl. Kazuya and Ruka are pretty bad at climbing, however Chizuru is quite good. Looking at the poses Chizuru do while climbing, Kazuya realizes Shun's idea and how sexual that is and starts to enjoy the view. After a while, Ruka calls Chizuru and ask her if she is rental girlfriend. Chizuru denies it and returns to Kazuya telling him about it. He starts to panic that if Shun learns, the whole school will hear it too. When he goes to the bathroom, Chizuru tells Ruka that she is mistaken and they are really dating with Kazuya. Ruka then ask them to kiss and Chizuru having no options kisses Kazuya, however he covers their faces with her phone and places her right hand between their lips. Ruka is not convinced as she couldn't see it. Shun returns and wonders what they talk about. Kazuya quickly comes up with something and says that Chizuru had to visit her grandma and she leaves. He decides to stay with Shun and Ruka, to make sure she doesn't tell him. They see Ruka off and Kazuya is kind of surprised how short Shun's date was. As Ruka can tell Shun anytime, he decides to go after her, but she waits for him behind the corner and states that this must confirm that they weren't really dating.

## Synopsis

Mami's plan comes to a head as Kazuya decides to set the story straight, to mixed reactions.

## Plot

Kazuya recalls how he met Mami and confessed to her, the time they spend until their first kiss. At present, after kissing Kazuya, Mami apologizes, stating she couldn't control herself. She tells him to act normal in front of others and they return to the group. However, Kazuya can't stop thinking about it. Nagomi calls him to inform him that she is getting discharged and will be able to see Chizuru any time she wants. The group starts asking about where Chizuru lives and unable to tell, Kazuya reveals that they talked about breaking up. Yoshiaki gets angry and punches Kazuya, guessing Chizuru dumped him for his behaviour towards Mami and they get into a fight. Chizuru and Kazuya leave and Chizuru tells him that was manly and that they don't know the truth, thus they acted like that. Kazuya informs her that his grandma is being discharged next week, so he will stop hiring her.

Chizuru heads back to the store to take her clothes, but as she sees her friends outside, he can't go in and change. Yoshiaki then shows up and wishes to speak with her. Kazuya sees them and thinks that Yoshiaki may try to confess to her or something and hides to eavesdrop on them. Yoshiaki tells Chizuru that he knows Kazuya since they were in the kindergarden. He agrees that he is an idiot, but tells her a story of how optimistic he is and how he didn't give up on a flower at school. In the end, Yoshiaki gives Chizuru two ferry tickets and asks Chizuru to give Kazuya another chance and they go back with the ferry and talk about it. A dog then reveals Kazuya and they realize he was listening. Yoshiaki then leaves and Chizuru states that she can't decline after hearing Yoshiaki, so she agrees they return with the ferry and then tell them that they talked and decided to break up.

On the ferry, Chizuru starts to not feel well, but as they speak, Kazuya decides to later ask Mami out. He tells Chizuru that he won't be renting her and promises to not talk to her at the college. Mami then calls him on the phone and he goes outside to talk. She wants to meet up with Kazuya and they talk and tells him that she is waiting for him in the hotel pool. Kazuya agrees to meet her, but explain he will need at least 15 mins to come. Meanwhile, Chizuru is feeling quite unwell and goes outside too. As the ferry shakes, she ends up falling overboard in the water. Kazuya hears a girl with Chizuru's description fell in the water and he drops his phone and immediately jumps in the water.

## Summary

Kazuya is a college freshman who recently got dumped by his first girlfriend. In his despair, he tries out renting a girlfriend to wash away his sorrows. He meets Chizuru this way, who is undeniably pretty and sweet. Kazuya struggles quelling his jealousy that Chizuru meets various customers, just like him, but he finds himself unable to stop seeing her.

He complains to her publicly about how their relationship will never truly go anywhere, so she confronts him in private about violating the terms of their agreement. In their argument, Kazuya gets a call about his grandmother that fell. They have no choice but to go to the hospital together, where Chizuru meets Kazuya’s family.

Kazuya says Chizuru is his girlfriend. Afterwards, he reveals to Chizuru why he used her and how he will inevitably have to own up to his lie to his family. Due to the circumstances, this causes some of Chizuru’s real personality to show through, which intrigues Kazuya more than before. Chizuru is rather nihilistic and doesn’t care for impressing her family or saying what is on her mind when she is not upholding the girlfriend act.

Just as Kazuya determines he won’t be held back by his heartbreak anymore, he stumbles across Chizuru on campus.

Kasumi Ichinose

**Kasumi Ichinose** (一ノ瀬 かすみ, *Ichinose Kasumi*) is a background character of Kanojo, Okarishimasu. She is the daughter of Katsuhito Ichinose and Sayuri Ichinose and the late mother of Chizuru Ichinose.

## Appearance

Kasumi had dark hair cut into a chin-length bob.

## Personality

Sayuri Ichinose said that Kasumi was diligent and had a keen sense of fashion just like her daughter Chizuru Ichinose .

Kasumi disliked taking pictures, so there was only one portrait of her left in existence.

## History

Kasumi separated from Chizuru's father when she was still a young child. Shortly after moving in with her parents, Kasumi passed away, leaving Chizuru to be raised by her grandparents. Chizuru was only four years old during her mother's passing and has no memory of her.

According to Sayuri Ichinose, rain clouds followed Kasumi everywhere during major parts of her life, such as her entrance exam, graduation ceremony, and her wedding. There was even a lightning storm during Chizuru's birth, although the sun came out immediately afterwards.

While helping Chizuru clean out her grandparents' house, Kazuya Kinoshita notices Kasumi's photo in the altar alongside Katsuhito Ichinose's photo.

## Etymology

* The name **Kasumi** is written in hiragana (かすみ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (霞 or 花澄), it could possibly mean:
	+ 霞 - "fog, mist, haze".
	+ 花澄 - "flower, blossom" (花) (**ka**) and "clear, pure" (澄) (**sumi**).
* Kasumi's surname **Ichinose** means "one" (一, *ichi*?) and "swift current, rapids" (瀬, *se*?).

Mini Yaemori/Relationships

## Kazuya Kinoshita

Mini initially deemed Kazuya as a playboy for renting a girlfriend while he has a (temporary) girlfriend. On a certain day, she took Kazuya by force to her room to learn more about his weird relationship.

After Kazuya was forced to tell everything because she heard the clash conversation between Chizuru and Ruka, Mini was deeply moved with his story. It leads Mini to deem Kazuya as her master and promise to help him with his current life. Mini takes it upon herself to play cupid for Kazuya and Chizuru, to their occasional dismay.

Mini later reveals to Chizuru that her admiration for Kazuya stems from the fact that he is a genuinely good person, whose passion in his ideas and love for Chizuru outweighs his fears. Because of this, she will always be in his corner even if his relationship with Chizuru doesn't work out.

## Chizuru Ichinose

Chizuru was initially wary with Mini because she knows her secret relationship with Kazuya. Despite this she is glad that Mini had decided to keep the secret, it annoys her more that Mini secretly became a servant. But unknown to her, it also means to be the cupid to help Kazuya.

## Ruka Sarashina

Ruka initially disliked Mini as she deemed her as another love rival to be with Kazuya. While initially relieved that it won't happen, it ticked her when Mini claimed herself to be Kazuya's self proclaimed servant. Mini was even brave enough to set up Ruka to be apart from Kazuya and Chizuru, which completely pissed Ruka off.

## Shun Kuribayashi

Mini is acquainted with Shun through a friend of hers, much to Kazuya's surprise. Due to the honorifics used and inside jokes, they appear to be good friends.

Harumi Kinoshita

**Harumi Kinoshita** (木きノ下した 晴はる美み, *Kinoshita Harumi*?) is the mother of Kazuya Kinoshita.

## Appearance

Harumi is a middle-aged woman with short black hair styled with straight cut bangs, with the rest of her hair tied up to a bun. She looks relatively shorter than most of the other women in the series. She has an average build and dresses conservatively.

## Personality

Harumi is a taciturn person and generally does not have much to say. When speaking with Chizuru, she is often worried of what she says and apologizes if her words cause any undue stress.

Despite her quiet nature, Harumi has expressed that she is a supportive person and can be someone to talk with in case they've become burdened with pressure.

## History

Harumi married Kazuo when she was 24 years old. She had a difficult time conceiving a child, even with medical assistance. After 8 years, she was finally able to carry and give birth to their only child, Kazuya.

She assists Nagomi and Kazuo in running the family liquor shop. She is also a nursery school teacher and often asks Kazuya for assistance.

## Plot

  **Section contains heavy spoilers.** *Click here to reveal spoilers.*

Harumi does not say much and is mostly in the background for the majority of the series. She supposedly had small conversations with Chizuru throughout.

Late in the series at the Hawaiians Resort, she has a personal conversation with Chizuru. She expresses the burden Chizuru must feel when carrying the expectations of Nagomi, which is something she has done herself. Harumi also worries that her own words may also cause Chizuru to feel pressure and hastily apologizes for doing so. As they are talking, Harumi leads Chizuru to a display featuring a wedding gown. Harumi reveals that this resort is the very place where she and Kazuo were married. As they are about to head back to their rooms, Chizuru invites her to a gift shop and purchases a ring for her to wear. Harumi happily accepts the gift and says it makes her feel like a princess.

  **End of section.** *Click here to hide spoilers.*

## Etymology

* The name **Harumi** means "clear weather" (晴, *haru*?) and "beautiful" (美, *mi*?).
* Harumi's surname **Kinoshita** means "tree, wood" (木, *ki*?) and "under, below" (下, *shita*?), which is likely more of a tongue-in-cheek reference to Kazuya Kinoshita.

Episode 8

## Christmas and Girlfriend

**"Christmas and Girlfriend"** (クリスマスと彼女, *Kurisumasu to Kanojo*?) is the eighth episode of the first season of *Kanojo, Okarishimasu* anime adaptation.

## Synopsis

Christmas is just around the corner and Kazuya feels alone. While roaming in the city, he sees Chizuru running towards a handsome man. Seeing that Kazuya couldn't control his feelings, he started to follow them wherever they went for the rest of the day until he got caught. Chizuru then reveals a secret to Kazuya.

## Plot

Kazuya starts spending time with Ruka and completely stops renting Chizuru. However, he finds it quite hard to keep up with Ruka as she wants they to talk on the phone at least two times a day, he to like her tweets, to always read her message and there is the fear she may expose his fake relationship with Chizuru. As Christmas is coming, Ruka visits Kazuya at the college, but he asks her to not come there as Shun could see them and she agrees and they make plans for Saturday to see a movie.

Kazuya starts to miss Chizuru, but finds out she is booked for Christmas. On the next day, he sees her all dressed up and meeting a boy. At first he thinks its a client, but then figures out he can actually be her boyfriend. As he gets worried that may be true, he starts following them and finds the boy name being Umi. He ends up watching a movie with them, eating lunch, and eventually hears that they will eat at his place. He decides to stop following her and realizes he lost her. He goes to a restroom, but to his surprise Umi enters too. Umi's phone rings and he talks about Chizuru, stating that he will take her measurements later and that she has alluring voices. Kazuya takes it very suspicious thinking that Umi plans on tricking her into something. Convinced he is her boyfriend, but having bad intentions, Kazuya decide to keep following them.

In front of a Chrismas tree, he sees Umi is about to kiss her and interrupts them. However Chizuru explains that he was just fixing her earring and that they aren't a couple. She is surprised he knows about the dinner at his place, but Umi guesses he means the script. Having no choice, Chizuru explains that she is an actress, but as she is just starting, the acting school is expensive and that Umi is another actor from her school. Kazuya then wonders about the phone call in the restroom and Umi explains he was trying to recommend Chizuru to a director he knows. After Umi leaves, Kazuya reveals that he have been following them since they met and he decided to stop, but thinking that Umi may be a scumbag, he just couldn't let it go. As he starts to think that Chizuru is indeed from a different world than him, he gives him a present. A phone case since his phone is broken due to her. She wanted a boy's opinion and Umi was only free today, but explains this isn't a present, but a token of apology. Kazuya starts crying as this is the first time a girl had given him something for Christmas.

Sumi Sakurasawa

* Manga
* Anime

**Sumi Sakurasawa** (桜さくら沢さわ 墨すみ, *Sakurasawa Sumi*?) is one of the main female deuteragonists of the *Kanojo, Okarishimasu* series. She is a first-year college student and works as a rental girlfriend with Chizuru Ichinose's company, where she is a newcomer to the industry. She is also the protagonist of a spin-off series *Kanojo, Hitomishirimasu*.

## Appearance

Sumi exudes a soft and gentle appearance with reddish-pink hair that is braided on the right side and reddish-pink eyes. However, there is no consistency to her apparel, as she changes them depending on the chosen date.

## Personality

Sumi is an extremely shy and timid individual who hardly ever speaks and when she does, it's only in a soft tone. This shows when she first met Kazuya Kinoshita and the consecutive times they spent their time together; only nodding, using facial expressions, and sign language as forms of communication.

On the other hand, she shows prolific amounts of determination, despite the communication barriers that hinder her social life, whether becoming a rental-girlfriend to change herself or mustering up the courage to find compromises to problems, like planning ahead of time to make sure things turn out well.

As expected of her introverted personality, she tends to overthink. Most of her monologue revolves around talking to herself and thinking of every possible scenario that could happen if she followed through with a decision.

## Quotes

* (To Kazuya) "I want to hear it... It's my turn to be the wall..."
* (To herself) "I can sit facing the wall, which means I wouldn't have to make eye contact with anyone. And if I lean against it, I don't have to worry about the people on the other side of me!"

## Etymology

* The name **Sumi** means "ink" (墨, *sumi*?).
* Sumi's surname **Sakurasawa** means "cherry blossom" (桜, *Sakura*?) and "marsh" (沢, *sawa*?).

## Trivia

* Sumi's favorite color is pink.
* Sumi's dog's name **Suzuri** means "inkstone" (すずり?)
* Sumi is the only rental girlfriend who doesn't bother to be with Kazuya albeit she seems to have feelings for him.

**"Sumi and Lost Property"** (墨と落とし物, *Sumi to otoshimono*?) is the fourth chapter of the *Kanojo, Hitomishirimasu* manga series.

## Summary

As she's dating another client, Sumi notices a pretty and energetic girl at the claw machine. The girl drops something from her purse. Sumi quickly reacts and picks it up for her, but is too nervous to get the words out for the girl to notice. As Sumi is returning to her date, the girl notices her pouch is missing. Sumi realizes she stuffed the pouch into her pocket and panics at the thought of being a thief. While the girl searches for the pouch, Sumi continues on with her date and notices she accidentally dropped the pouch on the floor. Although her client wants to move on to other games, Sumi stops him and gives him a meaningful and almost desperate looking expression. The client then notices the girl's pouch on the ground and hands it back to her. Sumi is relieved that everything turned out all right. Her client later stated on her review that Sumi's expression was divine, which left her puzzled.

Yoshiaki Kibe/Relationships

## **Friends**

### Kazuya Kinoshita

A close friend of Kibe. They know each other since they were little kids in kindergarten. Kibe likes to make remarks about Kazuya's girlfriends and Kazuya's behaviour when he's around them. He feels surprised when his friend manages to show up with someone pretty.

Kibe is a person of strong moral fiber, and will go as far as to punch Kazuya for his perceived immorality. In spite of this, he will also stick up for his friend by explaining Kazuya's positive qualities that most people overlook.

He personally knows Kazuya's grandmother, making it more difficult for Kazuya to keep up his fake relationship with Chizuru Ichinose. Although he generally means well, his blissful ignorance has caused trouble for Kazuya on some occasions, such as when Mami asks him where Kazuya works.

### Shun Kuribayashi

A college friend Kibe likes to hang out with.

Episode 35

## Girlfriend and Boyfriend

**"Girlfriend and Boyfriend"** (彼女と彼氏, *Kanojo to Kareshi*?) is the eleventh episode of the third season of the *Kanojo, Okarishimasu* anime adaptation.

## Synopsis

Kazuya decides to rent Chizuru out for an entire day and puts together a date plan to help cheer her up. Will he be successful?

## Plot

Kazuya has booked Chizuru for the entire day, however as she comes, he feels that she is acting normal like nothing have happened. He takes her to a store and tells her that he wants to buy her some clothes. Chizuru explains that the agency told her to accept gifts, so she agrees. She sees that he is looking at a particular outfit and decides to try it on. Seeing her in it, Kazuya comments that she looks great and Chizuru decides that they buy that one and that she will remain with it on their entire date today.

Next, Kazuya decides that they go see a movie. He had made his research and what Chizuru likes and guess she will like this one. During the movie, Chizuru holds his hand, which makes him happy. However, he couldn't understand the movie and panics that he won't be able to discuss it with her. Chizuru likes the movie and happily talks about it, which makes Kazuya happy as well as his research paid off. After that they go to a restaurant. Chizuru sees that the food is a bit pricey and leaves the menu. She looks at Kazuya and tells him to admit that he is worried about her. She again states that she is fine and knew that he will be careful around her, which makes things awkward for her, however Kazuya denies it. Chizuru then thanks him for the projector he brought to Sayuri's room. She wasn't sure if she should talk about it on their date, but wanted to thank him. Kazuya asks if Sayuri saw the movie and Chizuru explains that she saw small parts of it and stated it was a wonderful movie. Sayuri couldn't see her on the silver screen, but Chizuru is glad that she got to see her on something similar.

Kazuya gets excited for their next place as starting from it his cheer-up date plan shifts into another gear. He takes her bouldering, since exercise will take her mind off things, however bouldering has also another purpose for his plan. After they change clothes, Chizuru suggest that they help each other stretch. While they do it, Kazuya gets super excited. After that they start climbing. Chizuru is quite good at it, but Kazuya also gives her some advice, which he learned while checking out the place earlier while planning their date. After all the exercise, Chizuru gets hungry. Kazuya had expected that and had made reservations at a crab restaurant. While the food is quite delicious, Kazuya says goodbye to his money as its quite expensive.

Last, Kazuya takes Chizuru to a place where he had prepared some fireworks for them. Chizuru sees sparkles, which were Sayuri's favorite. While she lights one, Kazuya goes to get some water. While watching the sparklers, Chizuru remembers a time where she was lighting some sparklers with Sayuri and her grandfather. When Kazuya returns, he sees Chizuru crying.
