Anime has a long history of female worship, which can have varied reasons and expressions.

Rent-A-Girlfriend, or RAG, as it shall be known, takes this up a notch as the main character, I don’t even want to call him a protagonist, having a moment of weakness after being dumped, decides to use a PG-13 callgirl service. He ends up, through a series of mishaps, lying to everyone in his life and draining the money his parents gave him for school to maintain the lie and retain the callgirl as his “girlfriend” (escort), eventually even falling in love with her as he does.

If this were a comedy pointing out the hilarity of the simp lifestyle or a drama about the dangers of women using their allure to draw men into sinkholes of despair, it would be a top notch series. Unfortunately, the show instead tells the audience that the callgirl isn’t just a flawed person doing a job because she needs the money, but elevates her as a goddess-tier woman.

In this age of OnlyFans and Tinder, young men need a dose of reality about the nature of women. RAG is the opposite.

His spinelessness and lack of any character but to do whatever will get the girl that is pretty and pays attention to him was just aggravating on how malleable his personal feelings were on anything. The entire show was how pathetic he was and how he'd always just try to attract a girlfriend with his main go to was kiss whatever chicks ass with lies he wants to believe. Your right total suckage the entire show, you see a few times he tries and laugh then realize the entire show is based on him being a loser and it loses depth then.
