- You go. - Wait, what... hey...
- Hurry up. - Seriously?!
Excuse me...
If it's okay with you, may I have your contact address?
I'm sorry.
I'm having a date with my boyfriend after this.
As expected of number 1.
However, please cancel all of her reservations for today.
Truth is, today is one month's anniversary since our Christmas date.
So what?
Hey, you still haven't fully paid that bill.
I'll properly pay what I've owed.
Well~ if I remember correctly, you're Kuzuyama-kun?
It's Yamada.
Yamada Kosuke
Kuzuyamada-kun.
Work for us to pay for what you still owe.
/President
Takami Kenbutsu
Eh?
If we don't do that, it's very unlikely that you can pay us.
Actually, Remi-chan's today dating partner has a special circumstance.
He's already 50 years old, but...
30 years ago, he had a bike accident and has been unconscious.
Last month, he miraculously regained his consciousness.
He was 17 when the accident happened but when he came to he's already 50.
Seems like it was a shock for him.
His friend from that time wanted to cheer him up...
And has made a reservation with Remi-chan.
/Forever 17
Tatsuo
What do you want, old lady?!
I'm sorry.
The fee will be paid by that friend, not him.
I want you to go and collect the money.
Eh~
President, are you okay leaving money collection to someone like him?
Amato Yu
Then instead of him, which one of you will go?
Who would go to Remi's dating location?!
Huh?
- Me neither. - Dating location?
That's right.
Going to dating location means that I may be able to meet Remi-chan.
And yet, I don't have to pay...
Was it your inner voice that I've just heard?
He doesn't feel like hiding it.
Kagawa Akemi
President.
Please leave it to this incompetence Yamada.
Therefore, I'm working for Rental Lovers.
There's no manga "Kochikame" in here.
You see, it'll be better if we, his friends, could hang out with him, but...
/Tatsuo's Friend
Hiroki
Indeed, you're not at the age to wear gakuran* anymore.
*School uniform for boys with stand-up collar jacket and loose trousers.
Please leave it to us.
Every man who dates our Remi-chan will fall for her, she's our no.1.
Well then, may I collect your payment in advance?
Yes. Sure.
I was told to pass it to someone named Yamada Kosuke.
I am Yamada Kosuke.
I see.
For 3 hours, it's 18 thousands yen.
What?!
Eh?
18 thousands?!
Eh... Eh... What... What's wrong... Eh...
Aaah!
Ka... Kabedon*.
*Slamming one's hand into the wall in front of somebody to stop that person from leaving, often viewed as romantic.
18 thousands for 3 hours... What kind of calculation is that?!
It's okay. It's okay.
That is the only thing that we can do for you, Tacchan.
I didn't ask you to.
I quit.
Last-minute cancellation.
My face...
Do you have a problem with that?!
No, I don't.
I oppose violence.
Who the heck are you?
She's our no.1.
Takasugi Remi
Please be nice to me, Tatsuo-kun.
Well then, the rental will start now.
Rental Love
Hey, hey, old man.
You're perfectly knocked down by Remi-chan's prettiness.
He's all stiff.
Hey, Tatsuo-kun.
We're on a date. Why don't you have a happier face?
I'm just showing you the face I have for a friend.
You're not honest at all.
Why are you following us?
I'm like Remi-chan's manager...
What?
Since you've already collected the money, you can go back.
Let's go, Tatsuo-kun
Come... Come with us.
- What's this?! Amazing! - It's cosplay.
So cute~
Hey, let's take photo with him.
What are you doing? Hey, you're too close.
Wow, here they come, nowadays highschool girls.
What's more, they're half-baked.
This is hard for him, no?... Huh?
Hey, Manager.
Right, right, right, right, I'm the manager.
Remi-chan. Leave it to me.
Okay. No photo please. No photo please.
Ah!
What is it...?
What's this? A notebook?
He's just an unpopular entertainer.
- Entertainer? - Showing off that he has a manager. Lame.
Let's go.
Are ya kidding me. Hey!
They're gone.
Uh.
Let's go.
I see. This notebook is for that.
I'm their manager, 2 unpopular entertainers.
Certainly, their tales seem hopelessly bored.
This is indeed a good strategy.
I'm sorry, Hayato. That you have to come with me.
I think Kosuke is in this neighborhood.
Hey, Sumire.
Instead of worrying about Kosuke, how about yourself?
Ah... Ah, right. The other day, the guy from basketball club has confessed to you.
Let not talk about me. Right now, we worry about Kosuke.

/Kosuke's close friend
/Kosuke's Close Friend
Tachibana Hayato
Why don't you let him be?
For argument's sake, Remi-chan is a rental girlfriend as you say...
What is the problem?
You know, when a man brings a woman on a date...
He has to spend money even if she's a real girlfriend.
But he was charged 30 thousands on their first date.
And yet, he wants to date her again.
There's no way he has that kind of money.
Most likely, he'll borrow from student loan.
Or he'll commit a crime... Hanging out with bad friends...
He surely is stupid...
But he's not as stupid as to pay such a large sum of money for a date.
Yes, he is.
Quickly save up money...
And I'll also go on a date with pretty pretty Remi-chan~
Ouch!
Look where you're going, you idiot.
I'm sorry.
Oh? This guy was at the front of the station minutes ago, right?
It's him.
This appearance. There's no doubt about it.
Hey, you received a lot of money, right?
No, no, no...
Hey, what are you doing?
No, nothing.
Rich guys go together with a cute girl...
I'm jealous.
What do you want?
There's a saying, "a chance meeting is preordained".
You should ditch them.
Won't you have fun with us?
Ouch...
Don't you touch my woman!
That's hurt.
What character are you pulling off, old man?
What?! What did you say?
- What! Stupid brat. - Hit me if you dare. Come!
Oh no. These guys are dangerous.
Wait... Wait a minute.
I'll apologize.
Hey!
It's all right.
In all sincerity...
Without putting my heart into it...
I'm terribly sorry...
You don't have to go that far.
You just bumped into him, right?
What?
Oh, right.
Surely, Remi-chan's having another idea again.
Harmonica?
How is she going to defeat the situation with a harmonica?
Let's run.
- Hey, wait you bitch! - Eh? And the harmonica?
Remi-chan. What is the harmonica for?
- Hey... - Don't talk. Just run.
You know... What should I say...
Damn it!
My body can't even keep up with this short distance.
I'm exhausted too.
Is it okay to leave him behind like that?
If I don't do this, we can't be alone, right?
You... You tricked me.
Ah! There's a vending machine...
I'm thirsty.
Such a perfect place, damn you.
- Oh... Oh? What? What's wrong? - Eh? Wait. What are you doing? Wait...
- You're dropping too much. - That's strange. I'm sorry.
Okay.
Here.
Oh? It got in.
- You know... - Hey.
You first.
Tatsuo-kun first.
Okay.
You know...
About earlier, there's no deep meaning in it.
About earlier?
Yeah.
You know... it's that.
I said, "don't you touch my woman".
In a situation like that it's quicker to say something like that.
How disappointed~
It's okay to say that I'm your woman, you know.
Don... Don Don Don... Don't be ridiculous.
Ah...
It's just me drinking. Re Re Re Re Re...
I'll buy one for you, Remi.
Uh!
I'll take that.
Oh, okay.
I'll have this.
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
Here you go.
Oh.
It's empty~
I don't need it. What are you saying?!
I had accident right at that place.
Huh?
Hey.
I see.
"I see"?
No. It's not like that.
This shop wasn't here 30 years ago.
That day, I was going to meet someone.
It's not like she's my girlfriend or that we were dating.
Though it's troublesome, we're inseparable.
I was on my way to meet her...
When I opened my eyes, it's been 30 years.
Hey.
In 30 years you were sleeping, did you see dreams?
I wonder.
But I decided not to dream.
Those dreams about how my future will be.
Why did you decide to not dream?
I can't catch up with them.
My friends back then...
They're way ahead of me running toward their dream that they've found.
Since that accident, time has stopped for me.
Ah, Remi...
Uh~ That's why you wear gakuran...
And will live as a seventeen-year old forever.
Probably.
But the gakuran looks good on you.
Really?
Back then, it looked better on me.
It still looks really good on you.
It's GONE!
Oh god!
That's a lot.
- He's too defenseless. - He must be in a panic right now.
Look, "To Mr. Yamada Kosuke of Rental Lovers"?
Lame.
Really. Who's that?!
It's okay, really.
I will search for it myself.
Don't say such a sad thing.
You're wearing a gakuran and accompanying me, aren't you?
Let me accompany you too.
Actually, it's not a date that he wants.
He just doesn't know what to do with his time.
Good for you. You've found something to do.
Uh.
Shut up!
Aaah!
That's hurt.
Hello.
Oh, Hayato.
Sorry. I'm having a problem right now.
Shoot. Sumire has gone crazy. Anyway, just come okay?
Hey, what happened?
You intend to give that money to Kosuke, right?
What?
You wouldn't tell me anyway...
But I've seen Kosuke's name on the envelope.
For renting a girlfriend, Kosuke's trying to borrow money from you guys, right?
Hey, aren't you thinking too much?
Then you're okay if I go to the police, right? Or should I call them here?
What's with you, bitch.
Hey, Sumire.
Any more pestering and I'll kill you.
Sumire.
Kosuke.
Hey.
You, son of a bitch.
Kosuke.
Hey~!
You stupid brat.
Hey, are you okay?
Uwah, it's the cosplay uncle again.
Ah, my money!
- What? Do you have proof? - As I thought, just to have fun with a girl...
Open your eyes.
Eh?
I don't really know the situation but she's worried about you.
She's a good friend. You too.
What's with you coming in here as you please?!
If you return the money, I'll let this go.
If I return it, you'll let it go...?
Try and do it.
Damn you!
You can only talk, old man.
Since he slept for a long time, his strength has dropped.
You're getting on my nerves.
You're just an old man boasting about your naughty old days.
You did it!
Okay~ Stop.
Sumire.
What are you doing?
We do this.
You're an eyesore.
This sound...
Stop right there.
Remi-chan.
Bullying is uncool, you know.
This time, she's a sukeban*.
*Leader of a female gang or a group of delinquent girls.
You...
You're a secret leader?
Razors?
Shoot shoot shoot shoot?!
You guys want this, right?
Money? Is that okay?
Yes~
It's okay now.
Any injuries?
No.
What?!
This is the AV poster, isn't it?
"Just by shoot shoot shoot shoot earlier?
Now... If you don't like it, let's fight fair and square.
Yeah!
Who the heck are you?
Take this!
I can't win over aging.
But I took back the money.
I can take that as I win, right?
What are you doing?
This is graduation for you.
Eh?
It wasn't just for you that time has stopped.
It's the same for her; she's been waiting for you since the day of that accident.
She's someone you couldn't shake off, right?
Today too, she was always watching our date.
She's the real client of this date.
Don't give it to me.
Your second button.
The rental has ended.
Thank you very much for using our service.
Ah...
Today...
I'm sorry.
I got in the way of your date.
And I don't have any money.
What the heck did I go there for?
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks to you, I guess it was a good date.
Just now...
She praised me.
Yes~
She praised me!
I did it!
Remi-chan!
