Rent A Girlfriend: Speedrun Any%
After an unexpected accident, a top-tier streamer known for speedrunning games wakes up in the body of Kazuya Kinoshita, the hopeless protagonist of a romance anime he instantly labels as “absolute trash.” Armed with nothing but a sharp tongue, quick wit, and a strategist’s mindset, he decides there’s only one logical move: Speedrun the entire story and get out as fast as possible.
Instead of following the painfully slow, misunderstanding-filled canon of Rent-A-Girlfriend, this new “Kazuya” breaks every rule. He refuses to simp, calls people out to their faces, and dismantles forced relationships with brutal honesty. His words cut deep - often intentionally - leaving emotional fallout in his wake.
From confronting his manipulative ex Mami Nanami, to rejecting artificial connections and exposing uncomfortable truths, he treats reality like a game: skipping “cutscenes,” triggering key events, and optimizing every interaction for the fastest possible ending.
But not everything can be speedrun.
As he grows closer to Chizuru Mizuhara, a girl hiding her true self behind a perfect façade, he begins to realize that real emotions don’t follow scripts - and that his own past has made him more broken than he thought.
What starts as a cynical attempt to “clear a bad story” turns into something far more personal: A journey about honesty, consequences, and learning when to stop treating life like a game.
In a world built on fake relationships, can someone who only knows how to break things learn how to truly connect?
