Yes, Kazuya and Chizuru might get married—but not anytime soon, and only if the author finally stops dragging the story like it’s stuck in eternal limbo. The emotional groundwork is there. The mutual feelings? Basically confirmed. But actual progress? That’s where Rent-A-Girlfriend keeps hitting the brakes.
At this point, it’s less about if they’ll marry—and more about when Reiji Miyajima will actually let it happen.
The Relationship is Stuck in Place
You’ve seen it. Every time Kazuya takes a step forward—some grand gesture, some emotional confession—Chizuru deflects, or the moment resets. It’s been over 300 chapters, and we’re still in will-they-won’t-they territory.
Let’s break it down:
They clearly care about each other.
Kazuya has risked everything for Chizuru, from crowdfunding her dream to breaking down emotionally just to be near her.Chizuru isn’t indifferent.
Despite acting cold, her inner thoughts show she’s conflicted and emotionally attached.They’ve confessed… sort of.
There’ve been confessions, but either they’re brushed aside, half-hearted, or cut off mid-moment.No official relationship. No kiss. No canon couple status.
Let alone marriage—they haven’t even reached square one officially.
Meanwhile, Other Romcoms Have Moved On
This is where the frustration hits hardest. While Rent-A-Girlfriend stalls, other series with similar vibes have already moved forward.
Take:
My Dress-Up Darling
Gojo and Marin have had more emotional intimacy, clearer romantic buildup, and actual romantic progression—even though they’re technically younger.Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible
Romantic development? Happened. Relationship? Confirmed. Done.Horimiya
Went from confession to marriage planning in a fraction of the time—and didn’t waste hundreds of chapters to do it.
Watching these series make real progress while Kazuya and Chizuru are still dancing around feelings gets exhausting. It’s not that fans need instant gratification—it’s just that we want forward movement.
Is Marriage Even Realistic Anymore?
The man with a plan and zero relationship progress
Here’s the honest truth: marriage was heavily foreshadowed. Between Kazuya’s commitment and Chizuru’s slow emotional unraveling, the story has been building toward something long-term.
But now? It’s hard to say.
Kazuya is stuck in a loop of self-doubt.
He’ll make a move, then spiral. Over and over.Chizuru’s emotional arc is stretched thin.
Her walls are understandable, but they’ve become repetitive.The narrative is built on stalling.
Cliffhangers, fake-outs, misunderstandings—it’s hard to tell if we’re moving forward or just walking in circles.
Marriage could happen. But not unless the pacing changes dramatically.
Why Fans Are Losing Patience
Let’s be real: you probably like these characters. You want to see them together. But watching them go nowhere for hundreds of chapters makes it hard to stay invested.
What started as a refreshing romcom with emotional depth now feels like an endless tease.
It’s not about wanting a rushed ending—it’s about needing payoff for the years of emotional buildup.
💍 Kazuya and Chizuru Relationship FAQ
Have Kazuya and Chizuru officially confessed their love?
Kind of—but not really. Kazuya has shown his feelings multiple times, and Chizuru has acknowledged her emotional attachment. But there’s been no direct, mutual, unambiguous confession where both of them are on the same page. It’s always vague, delayed, or undercut by plot devices.
Why is the author dragging the story?
Reiji Miyajima seems to be using a long-form approach focused on tension, misunderstandings, and emotional delays. While this can build suspense, it’s been stretched to the point where many readers feel like the story is recycling the same dynamics without progression. There’s also speculation that serialization pressure contributes to the slow pacing.
How does Rent-A-Girlfriend compare to other romance manga?
Romance manga like My Dress-Up Darling, Horimiya, and Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible have moved their couples forward faster and with more emotional clarity. These series show that it’s possible to maintain romantic tension and relationship progress at the same time. Rent-A-Girlfriend, in contrast, stalls even with years of character development.
Will Kazuya and Chizuru eventually marry?
It’s possible, and the narrative does seem to be building toward it—but unless the story makes major moves soon, it might take dozens more chapters. The emotional setup is there. The romantic hints are constant. But unless the characters evolve and the plot stops stalling, marriage remains more of a fan wish than a confirmed outcome.
Is it still worth following Rent-A-Girlfriend?
That depends on your patience. If you enjoy slow-burn romance and don’t mind recycled plot beats, it still offers emotional moments and character depth. But if you’re looking for consistent forward motion or resolution, it can be frustrating—especially with how other series are handling romance more efficiently.
