Synopsis of the manga
In Japan, lonely people have a new outlet… Online services for renting parents, children, and even girlfriends! When Kazuya's true love rejects him, he becomes desperate enough to try it, and he's shocked by how cute and caring his rental girlfriend is. But she wants to keep their "relationship" a secret, and there's a complication… she's going to university… and her grandmothers are neighbors?! In short, Kazuya discovers that she's not at all friendly in "real life.".
