Fans of the beloved series “Rent-A-Girlfriend” have something to look forward to. The fifth season of the anime, which is essentially the second half of the fourth season, is set to debut in 2026. This announcement was made on Saturday, marking a significant milestone for the series.

The fourth season of “Rent-A-Girlfriend” concluded its 12-episode run on Friday. This season began its journey on July 1, streaming exclusively on DMM TV and d Anime Store. It later made its television debut on July 4 as part of the “Animeism” programming block on MBS, TBS, and BS-TBS channels. Initially, the fourth season was planned to air in two parts with a break in between. However, viewers can still enjoy the series through Crunchyroll, which continues to stream it as it airs.

To celebrate this exciting news, character designer Kanna Hirayama created a special illustration. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of the series and the anticipation surrounding the upcoming season.

The production team at TMS Entertainment, who handled the third season, returned for the fourth season. However, there was a change in the directorial role. Kazuomi Koga, who directed the first two seasons, took over from Shin’ya Une, who directed the third season. Both the fourth and fifth seasons will cover the Hawaiians arc, continuing the story from where the previous season left off.

The third season of “Rent-A-Girlfriend” premiered in July 2023. Crunchyroll streamed this season globally, except in Asia. The second season aired in July 2022, with Crunchyroll providing the streaming service. The first season debuted in July 2020 on the Animeism programming block and consisted of 12 episodes. Crunchyroll also streamed the first season worldwide, except in Asia.

The story of “Rent-A-Girlfriend” revolves around Kinoshita Kazuya, a 20-year-old college student who has faced romantic failures. After a painful breakup, Kazuya decides to rent a girlfriend to avoid further heartache. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he meets Mizuhara Chizuru, a beautiful girl who seems perfect for his needs. The series promises a reckless and exciting romantic comedy filled with love and adventure.

Reiji Miyajima launched the manga in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine in July 2017. The manga has been published in English by Kodansha USA Publishing. Additionally, the manga inspired a live-action series that premiered in July 2022, further expanding the franchise’s reach.
