What it is
Ren’ai, Karichaimashita is a romance visual novel from ASa Project, released for Windows in 2021. Its story follows Shinkai Yuki, who takes a series of rental temp jobs because he wants to help pay for his younger sister’s university tuition. The work leads him into pretend relationships: a classmate asks him to act as a boyfriend, while other requests cast him as a paramour, friend or older brother. The game frames these paid arrangements as the starting point for romance and comedy. It features five heroine routes, a quirky lead character, colorful art and humorous supporting characters and dialogue. The game is single-player and includes Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. NekoNyan Ltd. publishes it. Its visual novel format and focus on romance make it centered on character interactions and story routes rather than multiplayer play.
