Rental Man Episode 9

A great take on LGBT representation

(Obviously spoilers for this episode follow: there doesn't seem to be a spoiler tag, at least for episode reviews)
I liked this episode quite a bit; the renter here was a woman who wanted to brag to Rental-san about her relationship with her girlfriend, as she didn't feel she could tell people she knew about this because of their awkward reactions they'd have towards her being with another woman in the first place. I found nice how the relationship was a quite nice and healthy relationship (which isn't the case iirc with some GL manga I've read), how Rental-san didn't judge them for having such a relationship and also found the interaction between this lesbian couple quite cute, as the girlfriend was a tad quirky. I was also happy about how due to her experiences this episode the renter found the courage to tell one of her friends about her relationship, and her friend reacted in a positive manner instead and that was also quite nice.
