©宮島礼吏・講談社／「彼女、お借りします」製作委員会2025Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4 is set to premiere in July and will adopt a split-cour format. The anime is adapted from the romantic comedy manga by Reiji Miyajima, which Kodansha USA summarizes as:
In today’s Japan, “rental” services can provide an afternoon with a “friend,” a “parent,” or even a fake girlfriend! Following a shocking betrayal by his girlfriend, hapless freshman Kazuya is desperate enough to give this a try. However, he soon realizes how complex it can be to “rent” an emotional connection, and his new “girlfriend,” who seeks to keep her side hustle hidden, will be thrown into chaos when she discovers how their real lives are tangled in unexpected ways! Family, school, and life begin to spiral out of control as well… It’s sweet but naive boy meets cute yet ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com!
The manga made its debut in 2017 in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine and has achieved 40 tankoubon volumes as of April 2025. The first season of the TV anime adaptation launched in July 2020.

The Rent-A-Girlfriend manga has also inspired a spin-off titled Kanojo, Hitomishirimasu and a 2022 live-action drama. A MAGES-developed visual novel was released in 2024.
