Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4 continues to stir emotions and tension, and the fourth episode delivers on both fronts. Titled Decision and Girlfriend, the episode marks a turning point in Kazuya’s emotional journey, as he tries to untangle the complicated relationships around him. This week’s episode dives into feelings that have been suppressed, words that were left unsaid, and a growing sense that secrets are beginning to crack open.
The episode begins with Kazuya finally confronting Ruka. With a heavy heart, he tells her that his feelings are with Chizuru. Ruka, who has long sensed this truth, reacts with tears and frustration. Her heartbreak is raw, especially after holding onto hope for so long. Even though she has seen through his distant behavior, the reality still hurts. Despite Kazuya’s apology and emotional plea, Ruka refuses to accept the breakup. Her belief in their fate together remains unshaken, and her refusal to let go only deepens Kazuya’s inner conflict.
Meanwhile, a different thread unravels in the background. Chizuru informs Kazuya that Mami may have discovered their rental arrangement. This possibility brings a new wave of anxiety, especially since Mami has grown unexpectedly close to Grandma Nagomi. A simple item, Chizuru’s Coco bag seen in Kazuya’s room, may have been enough to raise Mami’s suspicions. As Chizuru voices her concerns, the pressure mounts, and Kazuya realizes just how delicate the situation has become.
Back in his dorm, Kazuya reflects on the depth of his feelings and the risks he has taken just to be close to Chizuru. These memories pull him towards a decision, yet Ruka’s desperate words still echo in his mind, making him question the timing. Before he can act, he encounters Chizuru, who quickly retreats into her room, visibly troubled. Her brief glance shows that the emotional burden is not his alone.
As the episode progresses, Kazuya seeks answers and confides in Kibe. Their conversation is filled with hesitation and unspoken truths. Kibe remains a supportive friend, even imagining Kazuya and Chizuru together at a wedding. This pushes Kazuya to consider opening up, but before he can share anything significant, he becomes overwhelmed once again.
In another part of the episode, Chizuru unexpectedly runs into Mami. What starts as a casual encounter ends with an invitation to a donut shop. The tension is subtle but unmistakable. Mami claims she has not revealed anything to Nagomi, but her calm demeanor hints that something more is coming. Chizuru senses it too. The episode ends on this quiet cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxious about what will unfold in the next chapter.
Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4 Episode 4 blends heartbreak, suspense, and emotional realism in a way that keeps fans invested in every character’s journey. Whether it is Kazuya's indecision, Ruka's pain, Chizuru's silence, or Mami’s mysterious calm, each moment adds another layer to the story. As the rental facade begins to crumble, what comes next may finally force everyone to confront the truth.
