If you are a fan of the manga Kanojo, Okarishimasu (d)rent-a-girlfriend), surely you have seen the dynamics of how the protagonist Kazuya He is usually the one who prays for attention. However, the roles have been suspiciously reversed in the last chapters. After a simple makeover (dyeing black hair and a new cut), the protagonist has aroused a sudden and dangerous interest in girls, culminating in a scene with Ruka that has left many speechless.
The new Kazuya breaks the internet

In recent days, Kazuya on Kanojo, Okarishimasu (d)rent-a-girlfriend) left behind her characteristic light hair and appeared with a black tone that took more than one by surprise. What is interesting is not the color change itself, but the almost immediate effect it caused: suddenly, the character became incredibly attractive in the manga.
In Mexico and Latin America, many have taken it as a funny confirmation of a theory that has been around for a long time, now Kazuya looks practically the same as Reiji Miyajima, the author himself. And it seems that, by adopting that appearance so similar to its creator, he activated a narrative “cheat” that magically places him in an irresistible position for all the girls in the story.
Mami and Ruka: From indifference to obsession

The change in attitude of each of the girls in the manga is radical. First it was the popular and hated mommy, who went from despising him to flattering his new style, asking for photos of his schedules and even asking if he still loved her. And just when everyone was surprised, it arrives Ruka To scale the situation to a new level and give something to talk about.
In the most recent chapter, after receiving a photo of the new look of Kazuya, , Ruka “He lost his composure.” The situation exploded when she broke into his apartment, dressed only in a bikini, to make the most direct and controversial request of the entire series.

The “object” scene that everyone commented on
Without going into graphic spoilers, Ruka He gives you an object (which the context suggests is for both of you to have protection) and drops the bomb when you ask explicitly spend the night together.
Ruka’s plea (“Please do it with me”) marks a point of no return for her character. What was previously childish jealousy is now an adult despair. The big question is: Will Kazuya give in to this aggressive new Ruka or will he maintain his eternal (and sometimes frustrating) loyalty towards Chizuru?
Verdict: Fantasy of the author or plot development?

It is impossible to overlook that this “aggressive harem” in Kanojo, Okarishimasu (d)rent-a-girlfriend) was unleashed just at the moment when Kazuya It adopted an appearance surprisingly similar to that of Reiji Miyajima. Whether it is a coincidence or an obvious nod, the truth is that the physical change of the protagonist coincided with an immediate rebound in the drama and in the attention that the series is receiving. Kanokari It was once again a trend not because of a radical twist in the plot, but because of the way it has brought its romantic dynamics to the limit, awakening conversations, theories and, of course, many jokes among the community.
For some readers, the lengthening of the story has generated moments of tension and also situations that border on the absurd, making fans wonder to what extent the author himself is projecting himself in his work. The insistence with which Kazuya It becomes the center of affection for all the girls, just now that it “matches” more with the look of Miyajima, has given rise to metanarrative readings and the idea that we are witnessing a conscious game of the creator with his audience.
In the midst of all this, one of the most recurring debates gains strength again: does it have Ruka some real possibility of breaking the cycle or is doomed to face yet another rejection in Kanojo, Okarishimasu (d)rent-a-girlfriend)? The series has played so many times with that dynamic that it is no longer clear if we are facing a genuine opportunity or just repeating the same scene with different nuances.
Do you think that this time things could change for her or Kazuya will continue to act as usual? We want to read your theory in the comments!
