This season was full of ups and downs but overall was a really enjoyable one to watch. The boys At Animag have tallied up all the scores from each episode that they gave, and the results are in! Tune in to see what season 2 for Rent a Girlfriend came in at! 

Kazuya goes out on a practice date with Sumi. He is shocked to see her wearing a school uniform and later finds out that she had seen Mizuhara in a similar dress while he was on a date with her. As their date is about to end, Sumi gives Kazuya a chance to open up about his feelings and he ends up opening up about his emotional turmoil fueled by Muzhara’s recent problems.

Kazuya and Ruka share a long kiss. Meanwhile, as soon as Kazuya’s grandmother gets a chance, she gives Mizuhara a wedding ring that has been passed down for two generations in the Kinoshita family. However, Kazuya does not want to drag Mizuhara and Ruka through any more trouble therefore he decides to end things with Mizuhara in front of his family.

Kazuya’s grandmother learns about Chizuru’s birthday that she forgot to celebrate, so she decides to hold a joined party for her and Kazuya on the same day. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, Mizuhara gets stuck somewhere and has to seriously consider canceling her plans. Meanwhile, Ruka chooses to accompany her boyfriend to his house despite knowing that his family recognizes Mizuhara as his girlfriend.

Ruka apologizes to Kazuya for being rude to Mimi the previous day. Kazuya later hires Chizuru for the entire day and the duo goes on a well-planned date. Chizuru tells him about a career-changing opportunity while they are hanging out which leaves Kazuya ecstatic for his rental girlfriend.

The seventh episode of ‘Rent a Girlfriend season 2 titled Ex and Girlfriend’, Kazuya struggles with recollection after he returns to his apartment from the party. Mami later visits the karaoke club where he works, and Ruka is suspicious of Kazuya’s behavior around him.

In the sixth episode of ‘Rent a Girlfriend’ season 2 titled ‘Booze and Girlfriend,’ Kazuya finally finds out whether Chizuru liked the birthday gift or not. When he goes to college, his friends tell him about a drinking party with some girls. Kazuya decides to accompany them but is shocked to see a familiar face there.

Kazuya tries to clear the misunderstanding Chizuru is under, all while enlisting Sumi's help to get her a fitting birthday present.

Mami finally asks Kazuya if she knows about Chizuru being a rental girlfriend. He not only accepts that he knows about it but even lies about the true nature of his relationship with Chizuru. Mami does not believe that he is being honest with her. Later that night, Ruka pays Kazuya a visit to his apartment and ends up spending the entire night with him. 

Chizuru has to stay at Kazuya’s apartment for a while as she loses the key to her flat. While the duo is finding inventive ways to send Chizuru back to her apartment somehow, Mami shows up at Kazuya’s door uninvited, scaring both of them.

In the second episode of ‘Rent-A-Girlfriend‘ (or ‘Kanojo, Okarishimasu’) season 2, titled ‘The Usual Girlfriend,’ Kazuya begins hiring Chizuru more frequently than usual so that he can help her financially to pursue her acting career. However, to his surprise, Chizuru stays with him even after their date, and they eventually end up spending a lot of time together. When Kazuya meets her grandmother later that night, she asks him for a favor

The time has finally come! Rent a girlfriend season 2 is finally upon us, find out if we liked how they put together the first episode or not. 

We have finally finished Orange season 1 and what a journey it was...   After each episode you may have heard us rate each episode individually, that was so we could tally them up and get one final score for the entire season and it is finally locked in!  listen to find out what it was.  Don't worry we say it pretty early on in the episode!  we don't make you wait till the very end of the episode. We also did a character ranking and introduced out new HALL OF FAME! Find out who is the first ever inductee in our hall of fame.

Valentine’s Day is upon them, and the group knows they only have 1 day  left before the original timeline’s version of events happens. Naho  tries to give Kakeru chocolates and talk to him. However, the timeline  has been altered enough that the opportunities her future self had don’t  occur for present-day Naho. With her last opportunity, she runs through  the school to catch him before he heads home. Naho tells Kakeru the  same information her future self originally had sent as a text the day  he died, and he breaks down. She hugs him, and he asks for the  chocolates she has been holding all day.

In this episode of Orange, we see events from the perspective of the Kakeru from the other timeline, giving us some insight into his decision to end his own life. We then flash to the future to see the other members of the group meeting under the cherry blossoms like they had always planned to do with Kakeru.

Though the others want to find some way to save Kakeru, Hagita insists that time travel is impossible and they must accept that nature took its course. Even so, he mentions where they may be able to find some black holes, a possible method of time travel. The gang decides they will find a way to send letters through in the hope their past selves will receive them. We then flash to the present, where the fallout from New Years has had a devastating effect on Kakeru and Naho’s relationship. They have reached a point where they can barely talk to each other.

We took a trip out to Dallas Texas to attend the A-Kon convention! hear about the trip right here!

The episode begins with everyone crowded around a desk, looking at pictures Suwa’s dad took at the athletic relay. Each person claims a picture, and Suwa remarks that Kakeru’s smiling face in Naho’s photo reminds him of a picture of young Kakeru with his mom. Suwa tells Kakeru he has no reason to suffer anymore, and Naho feels the choices they’ve made will save Kakeru.

In the future, Suwa feels regret for “stealing” Naho from Kakeru, and the rest of the group chime in, saying they would have cheered for Kakeru. Suwa claims that if Kakeru were alive, he would have been married to Naho, but she disagrees. She tells him that when he proclaimed his feelings for her during high school, she was so happy. Hagita then spills the beans that it happened on New Year’s Eve.

Back in the present, the group decides to continue a tradition to bring in the New Year at a shrine. Suwa claims he can’t go, and is accosted by Takako later, who knows he’s supposed to confess his feelings to Naho at that point. Suwa tells the others he will never do that, because it has nothing to do with saving Kakeru. At home afterward, he looks at pictures he received from his future self, including one of Naho, their baby, and himself.

On New Year’s Eve, the group meets up (sans Suwa), and Naho knows her future self got into a fight with Kakeru and never got to apologize. Azusa and Takako tell her it’ll be alright, and she can just apologize if something happens. When alone, Kakeru and Naho talk about Kakeru’s sick grandmother, and he gets disheartened and wants to head home. Naho tries to have Kakeru stay, but makes the situation worse, causing him to leave and telling her to stay away from him. Suwa appears and comforts her, urging Naho to chase after Kakeru. She calls his cell phone, but when he sees who’s calling, he smashes it on the ground.

Episode 10 wraps up the athletic meet. The girls dress up for a cheerleading event while the boys feign disinterest. We find out that Kakeru injured his ankle in the pole event during the last episode. The group helps Kakeru and Naho carry a mat while coaching Kakeru on his fear of happiness. The big race finally arrives. Azusa promises Hagita bread if he passes a person (and a date if he passes two.) The group says Kakeru should get a kiss from Naho if he comes in first. Through Kakeru’s skill (and Hagita’s persistence) the class takes first place. He steals a kiss on Naho’s cheek while helping her clean up.

After Naho learns that the rest of the group has received letters from their selves ten years into the future, they make a plan to save Kakeru together. Hagita, Suwa, Takako and Azusa scheme to push Naho and Kakeru closer after Azusa’s birthday celebration at school. A plan to which Naho appears completely oblivious. The day of the school athletic relay arrives. Suwa has once again changed the future by inviting Kakeru’s grandmother to watch the event.

However, a feeling of despair and sorrow hangs over Kakeru. When Suwa asks him why he’s not going out with Naho, he makes vague references to “disappearing”. He suggests that it would be better if she went out with Suwa. After both Suwa and Kakeru get injured during the event, Naho tends to Suwa and tries to help Kakeru. But he refuses her aid and leaves. As the episode closes, he realizes he is hypocritical about what he says he wants and how he’s acting.

both Asylum and Thomacus rated this episode a 6

We inch ever closer to the end of this season! In this episode there are only a couple of key points that were really notable. We learn that there is a big race that will be happening at school, somehow kakeru gets selected to run in it but the letters tell Naho and Souah to try and prevent that from happening.  They do their best to adhere to the letter for a little while then for a moment we see them actually take a step back from the letter thinking they can control the narrative without the aid of the letter.  It all boils down to the face that the group will all run in the rally race together. And finally The last major thing was the fact that we find out everyone has had a letter from their selves this whole time. Now they can all work together to save Kakeru. 

Naho and Souah finally sit down and talk about their letters seeing if there were any differences (There weren't) for the most part the letters both said the same thing.  The gang Is going to throw Kakeru and birthday party, they all pester him about what he would like for his birthday! Ueada makes an appearence in this episode (Gross). We learn that Kakeru tried to attempt the big (S) right here, So the gang must do what they can in order to not have him hangout with his Tokyo friends.  Finally some light is shead on the what Kakerus big regret is (it was letting down his mom) Pretty much the reason why his mom is no longer there with him anymore.  Then at the very end we see Naho, Souah, and Kakeru have this major moment, Naho finally admits to Kakeru that she loves him to his face in an attempt to try and make him feel slightly better and also to finally just tell him the truth. 

Thomacus gave it an 8 and Asylum gave it a 7.
