Comments on a recent post by Manga Mogura on Twitter about Rent-a-Girlfriend have sparked discussion among fans. Some have expressed their disappointment by comparing Reiji Miyajima's manga to other popular series like Kaguya-sama: Love is War and Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!. They believe that these two shows have successfully maintained their engaging plots and character developments, which in turn have kept readers enthralled with their pacing.

The lack of substantial progress in the relationship between Kazuya Kinoshita and Chizuru Mizuhara, the main focus of the series, has generated a wave of dissatisfaction among fans. The story seems to be stuck in a repetitive loop, heavily relying on comedic elements, leaving fans perplexed and unenthused about the direction of the manga.

Considering the slow pace of the narrative, it is expected that it will take a significant number of chapters to reach a resolution. Consequently, certain Twitter users have speculated that the creator, Reiji Miyajima, may be prolonging the plot for financial gain. Despite this criticism, there are still fans who admire and applaud his work.

While most fans expect Kazuya to ultimately end up with Chizuru, the lack of development in their relationship has caused frustration among them. Kazuya remains a somewhat melancholic character who often becomes clumsy in Mizuhara's presence, consistently idolizing her.

On the other hand, Mizuhara continues to maintain a bold and impassive exterior when it comes to addressing her own issues.

Both characters are expertly crafted, causing fans to eagerly anticipate the development of their romance. Considering that many rom-com manga typically reach their resolution in a shorter number of chapters, it's understandable that fans are growing restless. They remain hopeful that the creator will soon deliver a satisfying ending to this prolonged tale of love and humor.
