Rent-A-Girlfriend Vol. 18 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

In Sayuri's hospital room, Chizuru finally voices something close to her real feelings for Kazuya. Sayuri passes away, and the premise of the "lie" binding them together crumbles at its foundation. Yet Chizuru can't sever her bond with Kazuya, and a spur-of-the-moment trip lets them reaffirm how they feel. Kazuya steadies his resolve to face Chizuru seriously at last. Through the loss of his grandmother, a genuine bond beyond the rental arrangement takes root, propelling the story toward Kazuya's confession in a volume impossible to read without tears.
