The opening scene of Rent-a-girlfriend, one of the most popular anime of 2020, shows the unfortunate protagonist Kazuya Kinoshita being dumped by his girlfriend Mami Nanami without hesitation. This event forever marks the psyche of the boy who seeks a hired girl for solace.
During the first season of the anime, Mami is described as the antagonist of the plot. The fact that Kazuya quickly found a new friend, even more beautiful and kind than her, enrags the girl. In order to separate the couple, Mami is the protagonist of numerous acts that show everything it is manipulative. But where does this behavior come from? Is his personality misinterpreted or is it just as shallow as it appears?
Mami is a girl who likes the situation under his complete control. When she first sees her ex with Chizuru, he reveals a series of embarrassing backstories to make her feel uncomfortable. As soon as he gets the chance, he gets close to Kazuya and kisses him. Although the protagonist has found his very personal “hired girlfriend”, he still has strong feelings for her and Mami, who notices him, uses this weakness to his advantage.
Guided by obvious selfish and superficial desires, Mami has several moments of introspection that they do doubt the true nature of his actions. When he sees his ex is surrounded by beautiful girls, he wonders what was missing in their relationship and regrets breaking it off so quickly. But when she learns the truth about Kazuya and Chizuru, she suddenly becomes a manipulator again.
Seemingly surrounded by numerous friends, the anime often portrays Mami as a lonely girl. What is behind his actions in a series in which different characters play a role? The highly anticipated second season of Rent-A-Girlfriend, which was officially announced recently, could see her redemption or highlight her childish side even more. Why do you think he behaves like that? Rent-A-Girlfriend’s Blu-Ray edition will feature sexy official illustrations.
