"Rented Girlfriend" as a representative work of the successful backstabbing of A station in the new battle in July 2020, has attracted much attention since its inception, whether it is a manga or an animation there are many netizens chasing, and this drama is indeed more interesting in the setting, the male protagonist Kinoshita and is also a 20-year-old college student, out of revenge after being abandoned by his girlfriend Namimi Nanami, he spent money on the social platform to rent a beautiful girl named Chizuru Suwon as a girlfriend, thus launching a love comedy.
In "Rented Girlfriend", the more perfect persona is Mizuhara Chizuru, although she is engaged in "girlfriend" services in a part-time way to become an actor, but in the contact with Kazuya Kishita continues to help her grow, and the relationship between the two continues to heat up, so that readers think that with the development of the plot the two will become a real couple.
However, the Japanese brain hole is always unpredictable, especially after the manga arrives at 218 words, which directly breaks the defense of a large number of audiences chasing this work, because the author Miyajima Reijima staged a minotaur plot in the manga.
The male protagonist, Kazumi Kinoshita, also believes that after being abandoned by Mizuhara Chizuru, he immediately began to make up various scenes of Mizuhara Chizuru and Huang Mao as in the past, and Miyajima also drew a detailed storyboard to describe.
Such a plot setting undoubtedly makes the audience who has been chasing the comic feel disgusted, obviously looking forward to the development of pure love, but turning into a minotaur, so that the audience directly shouted that they felt betrayed.
However, this kind of plot development should not be too surprising to me, because the "Green Hat" plot itself is a manifestation of Japanese culture. In fact, this still has to start from Japan's national conditions.
As we all know, Japan is a country with a very long overtime time, as early as 2019, it was exposed that many accidents caused by overtime were exposed, such as an employee of Madhouse who produced well-known animations such as "Delusional Agent", "Death Note", "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time", "Summer Wars" and so on, fainted at work because of 393 hours of continuous work, fortunately was found by passers-by and sent to the hospital to save his life.
The worst effect of this far overloaded work is that men have difficulty taking care of their families after marriage, so they give wives who are not willing to be lonely have the opportunity to cheat.
During the Shogunate period in Japan, such behavior would have been severely punished, but with the development of the economy and the change of consciousness, it gradually evolved into a blind eye.
And "Rented Girlfriend" itself is a work inspired by reality, coupled with the fact that it is a Japanese author, it is not surprising that such a plot will appear.
Looking back at the past various love theme comics, "Home has a girlfriend", "The Wish of the Scum", "Sword Art Online", "King's Game", etc., there will be similar plots in it or even more than enough, and subsequent works will inevitably imitate the audience.
