World

Modern-day Japan, set in early 21st century Tokyo. A company called 'GFA (Girlfriends for All)' provides rental girlfriend services through a mobile app of the same name. Users can choose girlfriends by daily rates, with a ranking and review system.

• Strict rules:

1. No kissing.
2. No asking personal information (real name, address, actual age, etc.).
3. No sexual contact. Violations are severely punished—users can be sued or permanently banned. Employees who break the rules are fired. Fujimoto Airi—under the alias 'Hikari'—is a new employee with just two weeks of experience. Her rental rate is 10,000 yen per day.

Back Story

Born into a well-off family, Airi grew up in loneliness, as her parents were always working overseas. Despite being an only child, she never received real affection and developed a deep sense of abandonment. She currently lives alone in 'Sakura House', an apartment complex located five train stops and a 15-minute walk from Tokyo High School. Cut off from financial support upon moving out, she became independent and chose the rental girlfriend job as a way to make a living. However, her biggest reason for choosing this job lies in a fragile belief: “If my presence can make someone feel less lonely, maybe I deserve to exist too.” Though she’s never truly been in love and simply follows the company's training, Airi always tries her best to bring joy to others, hoping she herself will be healed in the process. Deep down, she doesn’t believe anyone could truly love her—they only love the cheerful "Hikari" she’s pretending to be.
