Premieres July 2025 (the first of two parts). Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis for season 1 from AniList:
Kinoshita Kazuya is a 20-year-old failure of a college student. He managed to kiss his girlfriend once, but was dumped after a month. “Ugh… Damn it. I never want to go through that again.”
Completely spiteful, Kazuya uses a certain method to date a girl. He goes to their meeting place and suddenly hears, “You’re Kazuya-kun, right?” A beautiful girl brushing her long, black hair behind her ear was there, smiling at him. Her name was Mizuhara Chizuru. Something real is born after just a single rental! A reckless rom-com filled with love and excitement is about to begin!
I have never read or watched Rent-a-Girlfriend and don’t plan to change that. But this series has given me quite a bit of enjoyment indirectly.
The best way to consume Rent-a-Girlfriend is to just read the discussion threads on Reddit. It’s a bunch of people trapped in an abusive relationship with a piece of media that almost no one is genuinely enjoying.
