Rental Person Who Does Nothing: A Memoir

I really, really disliked this. I think I thought, if I kept reading, it would reveal something about human nature. I was curious to to see how popular this idea is in Japan and it seems as if this guy is not well liked. I see why.
Shogi Morimoto rents himself out as a person. That's it. No sex, no advice, he doesn't do anything. In fact the reader kind of gets the impression that he shows up and spends most of his time looking at his phone.
He didn't even write the book (see page 152).
Listen, I'm not a fan of hustle culture, I am not a girl boss, and I don't believe human beings need to be productive all of the time and I think this guy beyond lazy. I think he's just a modern do-nothing.
Supposedly he is supporting his wife and child on his “savings”. What I think is going on here is he had one idea- rent himself out and write about it and now he's going to capitalize on it.
I was highly unimpressed.
Perhaps the tv show is more interesting because I would have liked to have learned more about the people who feel the need to rent him. We get very little of their personalities or motives in the book.
