Filmed Entirely at Tokyo Joypolis, Capturing a “Real First Date”

Akase Akari paid meticulous attention to detail—particularly the wig—to embody Chizuru with precision. The entire shoot was filmed on location at Tokyo Joypolis, a setting currently featured in the manga. The video presents a unique boyfriend’s point of view of Chizuru and protagonist Kazuya’s “real first date”—not a rental one.


About Rent-A-Girlfriend

Serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine, Rent-A-Girlfriend has surpassed 13.5 million copies in circulation. The story follows Kazuya Kinoshita, a hopeless college student who rents a girlfriend after being dumped by his first love.
