What You Are in the Dark: Chizuru is left speechless more than once when she learns to what great lengths he is going through to make her movie, such as neglecting to take care of himself and even begging on hands and knees for an acquaintance to direct the movie. All of this without a word, and all for Chizuru. Hodgkins, Crystalyn (June 15, 2020). "Rent-A-Girlfriend Manga Gets Spinoff About Sumi". Anime News Network.

He even tells her that if Chizuru never saw him as anything more than a friend, he'd still want to support her for the rest of her life because that's how much she means to him. He's also told Mini that he wants to confess someday, but doesn't know when, and she insists that now is better than later. Ever since Chapter 174, he's become increasingly determined to force the issue and confess.

Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: While she's of course less naïve than Kazuya per se, when dealing with Mami it's seen that she counts as this, as, in the end, she doesn't actually see malicious intentions in her. After all, how could Chizuru ask such a sociopath if she ever cared about Kazuya's feelings?

Greater Need Than Mine: Like Kazuya, she tends to put others above herself and it often comes at her own expense. There are also times where she recognizes her feelings for Kazuya, but struggles with acting on them partially because of Ruka. Chizuru doesn't want her to be hurt, and tells herself if Kazuya has a girlfriend he's happy with, that's all that really matters. Everyone Can See It: Nearly everyone who knows of Chizuru and Kazuya's relationship insist that, beneath the professional aspects, there is genuine love between the two, and they're practically fated to be together. The only problem is getting both to admit it to the other. Shut Up, Kirk!: When her grandmother's health takes a turn for the worse, Kazuya tries to convince Chizuru to come clean and stop lying to herself by pretending that everything's fine when it's clearly not. Refusing to break her grandmother's heart, she angrily shuts him down and tells him that she despises sad truths. Chizuru: Being pragmatic and practical in life is a difficult thing, but it's even harder to continue to be a dreamer.

Trying Not to Cry: At the end of the cheer up date, Kazuya finds himself describing what his perfect girlfriend is. Realizing he's talking about her, she becomes overwhelmed by feelings of loneliness now that both of her grandparents are gone, and as hard as she tries to fight it, the walls come crumbling down and she completely breaks down in tears. kanokari-official.com (in Japanese).

No Poker Face: Whether he's happy, sad, angry, concerned, surprised, excited, annoyed, nervous, determined, embarrassed or overwhelmed, Kazuya's face says it all and he can't hide it for the life of him.

Cannot Spit It Out: As much as she tries to hide it, nearly everyone suspects that she's actually fallen for Kazuya. But no matter how hard they try to get her to open up about how she truly feels about him, they can never get her to give them a solid answer. Even when Kazuya tells her that she can talk to him about her problems or when she tries to express her gratitude towards him, she gets nervous and bottles it up, which unintentionally makes her look dismissive instead, something she clearly isn't proud of.

Don't Say Such Stupid Things!: She'll often say this to Kazuya when he gets too down on himself, when he thinks he's being a nuisance when he actually isn't, or whenever he confuses his more positive and noble qualities as an inconvenience. Early on, she would even hit him because he went overboard with his self-pity. Peerless Love Interest: She may as well be the World's Most Beautiful Woman, because while the other girls get their fair share of fawning, everyone sees Chizuru as a gorgeous woman totally out of Kazuya's league. Kazuya himself can't help but see Chizuru as a strong, confident, and utterly perfect person, which only deepens his already huge insecurities. Bespectacled Cutie: When she wears her glasses, she's still gorgeous, and has a somewhat nerdy appearance. Cassandra Truth: Because of his tendency to lie about nearly everything and how often his mind is in the gutter, whenever Chizuru or Ruka think he's slept with the other girl, they don't believe Kazuya at first when he tells them nothing actually happened. His habit of telling lies makes it difficult for others who know of this habit to believe him when he is actually telling the truth.

Success!

I Call Him "Mister Happy": He refers to his penis as "Little Kazuya Junior," or some variant thereof, especially when he's about to have an erection, which he refers to as Little Kazuya Junior " growing up". Cry into Chest: On the receiving end when Chizuru finally breaks down about her grandmother's death on a date with Kazuya. The trigger was him confessing to Chizuru. Cayanan, Joanna (March 5, 2023).
