## Synopsis

Reeling from a breakup, college student Kazuya Kinoshita books a date through a rental-girlfriend app and is paired with Chizuru Mizuhara — poised, gorgeous, and utterly professional. When a tangle of lies puts them in front of his family as a real couple, the fake relationship snowballs into an elaborate act neither can easily drop, complicated further by a rotating cast of other girls with their own claims on Kazuya's attention. It's a soapy, comedic look at loneliness, pride, and the awkward gap between the person you pretend to be and the one you actually are.
