A peculiar event has captured the attention of social networks in Japan, when an individual revealed on Twitter that he resorted to an unusual method to find company for his games of “Yu-Gi-Oh!“. The man, whose identity remains anonymous, confessed to having hired the services of a “rental girlfriend” to play with him, generating a viral phenomenon on the platform.
According to his posts, the enthusiastic “Yu-Gi-Oh!” He expressed that his desire to enjoy the game was so strong that he decided to pay for the services of a woman to act as his playmate. Surprisingly, it was not a single session, but several, that the subject requested from the same girl. The story took an unexpected turn when, after several sessions, the “rental bride” showed up with her own deck of cards, demonstrating a genuine interest in the game.
This curious episode has highlighted the existence of “bride rental” services in Japan, where lonely men can hire women to act as their girlfriends for a certain period of time. It is important to note that due to current laws in Japan, these services do not include sexual contact. The main idea is to provide company and simulate the experience of having a partner.
While the story initially made waves for the unusual reason of hiring a “girlfriend” to play “Yu-Gi-Oh!”the revelation that the young woman eventually shared the enthusiasm for the game has generated surprise and a certain dose of sympathy among social media users:
- «Based on the hit manga, “I Can’t Believe My Future Wife Turned Out To Be The Stray Girl I Played Yu-Gi-Oh With!”».
- «The happy ending of “Kanojo, Okarishimasu”, where they became just friends».
- «A parallel world of “Kanojo, Okarishimasu” where the protagonist is not a perfect idiot».
- «In fact, it is a touching story».
- «That hand that touched you is shit, but I’m happy for you brother».
- «And that’s how I met your mother, guys.».
- «A touching moment in the life of a prostitute».
- «This guy wanted to play 2016 Blue Eyes old school, but she brought a more updated deck. I wonder if he regrets her decision even a little, especially with that shitty hand, probably not.».
- «I have a nice vision of the future, where these two become friends and play Yu-Gi-Oh! without needing him to pay you».
- «Well, this is very interesting. A relationship with a rent girl can turn into anything, but I hope you stay friends».
