Rental Hearts

In this concise, three-issue German series from Carlsen Comics, Rental Hearts (2016–present) explores a near-future where emotional companionship is a paid service. The story follows a protagonist navigating the transactional nature of rented relationships, questioning what genuine connection means in a world of artificial intimacy. Though brief, the series stands out for its sharp, melancholic take on modern loneliness and the commodification of human bonds.
