It may not sound right, but you read the title right. I came across a short video clip about how you can hire a husband in Japan. He will portray himself as a husband who had rented him. A typical day involves having a companion by having a date at night. It is like an escort service, which is a good business to gain money in a man's pocket. Is it a hard-working job? It is indeed an easy job. What do you think, guys? Image Credit: media.newyorker.com

I heard that was the premise of a movie that came out this year called Rental Family, too.

I agree. They also offer this kind of service. I find it weird, but it happens in Japan.

I've heard of this. Not something I'd be doing.

At least you can return them if you don't like them

You'd think it would be an easy job but perhaps there are some drawbacks.
