The release of Rent-A-Girlfriend chapter 380 sparked controversy in the manga community as many readers consider it the most frustrating event in the series' eight-year history.

In Rent-A-Girlfriend chapter 380, Kazuya openly shared his true feelings for Chizuru during their awaited confrontation. Chizuru turned down his romantic proposal by stating she needs more time to sort out her professional and personal life before entering a relationship. The unexpected rejection stunned readers who witnessed character development through hundreds of chapters.

Rent-A-Girlfriend chapter 380 marks a crucial turning point for the series because it appears to nullify the romantic progression that developed since the manga began. Chizuru explained her decision through professional commitments and personal unpreparedness for a relationship, which led both Kazuya and readers to wonder about their relationship's future.
