These rental partnerships include activities that resemble a real relationship, such as going on dates, dining together, attending events, or simply enjoying each other's company.

Where is it common to rent a girlfriend??
"Girl thinks she's in Japan," one user joked, referring to Japan's well-known rental girlfriend services, which are part of a bigger market that also includes rental families and friends. This concept has even inspired manga, anime, and films, emphasizing its unique place in Japanese society.?
How did people on the internet react??
