Rental Lovers

Remi Takasugi (Ayame Goriki) works as a “girlfriend for rent” for a popular agency. For an hourly fee, the agency will provide customers with a “girlfriend” who will do what they want them to – provided the requests are not sexual in nature. Remi Takasugi is by far the agency’s most popular “girlfriend,” and she always does her best to keep her customers happy. But there is something unusual about her: She always wears a scarf or neck covering, possibly hiding some kind of secret… Kousuke Yamada (Taiga Nakano), meanwhile, is an unassuming third-year college student who has no experience in the world of love. He has failed to find a job and his life is going nowhere fast. When he “rents” Remi Takasugi, he falls head over heels for her – but is too poor to pay her fees. Regardless, he resolves to do whatever it takes to be with her. But will his pursuit lead him to learn her secret? “Rental Lovers” is a 2017 Japanese drama series that was directed by Akihiko Watase and Yusuke Ito.
