Haha social media is hating on this show, everyone complaining that why would they renew a show no one cares about.

At no point do they ever consider the obvious from this statement, that despite how they feel about the series - RaG SELLS. And no amount of hate will renew their favorite for a second season if it didn’t succeed. It’s so funny watching these people lose their shit for such a harmless romcom. Very Happy Laughing

Hell yes.. I am surprised though that I haven't gotten much flak for the Mizucara, lol

Eh it’s ok. It’s inoffensive to me. I think the hate it gets is completely overblown. But even I get why it keeps getting new seasons. These people have such a narrow line of vision. Since they don’t like it, it must be trash and no one cares about it. Lol that’s their logic. And thinking like that is laughably inept. Very Happy

He pays a woman money for her to pretend she has affection toward him. That's not romance, that's solicitation. Anyone who is so narrow that they don't understand that must be laughably inept with women. Not just the MC, but the whole premise is pathetic. Season One was enough to convince the show would never redeem itself. I heard the manga was even worse. Others may still get some jollies out of a Season Three, but anyone remotely approaching adulthood couldn't care less.

And no, it's not ok that he only paid her originally to lie to his grandmother about his love life. That only accentuates how self-absorbed and pathetic his is. No girl would respect him to spend any time with him without ample compensation, and any self-respecting women would refuse even that offer.

It ain’t that serious mate, it’s just a comedic anime. Thinking you’re a superior person for hating on a series is pretty inept behavior. Lol RaG definitely gets way too much hate. It’s, at worst, a lame series - not this absolute attack on the written form like so many people make it seem like it is.

Also, Miyajima's weird fetishes IRL of considering Mizuhara his girlfriend despite literally being engaged really shows how the manga is just a way of letting his fetishes to the public.

Nice car! Although I won't watch/read the work we're discussing here, I wouldn't mind driving that, and I'm even older. Smile
Though, I know there's no laws against it other than resembling official vehicles, I'd still be a bit anxious getting pulled over for distracting other drivers...
