(4.20/5)Fairly easy to read and an engaging story
This is a story about loss, grief, trauma, friendship, and family. I don't want to say too much but I think it's well worth a read.
The language was pretty approachable, especially when Kanami is in a scene because the adults dumb their language down for her which is more at my level. But there are a few scenes where the adults are discussing some heavy stuff and that is harder to follow. And there is a character that speaks in Kansai-ben which is a curveball.

- There's a Wanikani group you can use for help if you ever get stuck or

It also starts off deceptively simple and then ramps up in difficulty, which is nice for a beginner. The WaniKani vocabulary sheet has excellent coverage too.
The story is about a little girl who's driven to rent a big brother. As you might expect, it's not a happy circumstance (poor girl has it rough!) and I won't say it's a very f
Emotional gut punch
Despite it's simple language, レンタルおにいちゃん delivers a heartwarming message of support, forgiveness, and healing through its excellent visual storytelling. The full story concludes after twenty chapters across four volumes, making it a good read for those who prefer shorter, self-contained works.
