Description
The official spinoff manga of Rent-A-Girlfriend, the rom-com turned hit anime, features fan-favourite Sumi, the shy girl longing to come out of her shell. Written and illustrated by original creator Reiji Miyajima! Catch up on the manga before Rent-A-Girlfriend returns for a second anime season, coming soon!
Sumi Sakurasawa is shy. Even simple things, like ordering a donut or calling out to a stranger that they've dropped something, paralyse her with fear. Her plan to fix it? Become a "rent-a-girlfriend" and make some cash while she practises her people skills!
But raising the stakes even higher might not be the foolproof solution she thought it was... And even worse, she needs five-star reviews to keep her new gig, and that means no freezing up or freaking out on a date... How is that even possible?!
