The anime is based on the romantic comedy manga by Reiji Miyajima, which Kodansha USA describes as:
In today’s Japan, “rental” services can deliver an afternoon with a “friend,” a “parent,” even a fake girlfriend! After a staggering betrayal by his girlfriend, hapless freshman Kazuya gets just desperate enough to give it a try. But he quickly discovers how complicated it can be to “rent” an emotional connection, and his new “girlfriend,” who’s trying to keep her side hustle secret, will panic when she finds out her real life and Kazuya’s are intertwined in surprising ways! Family, school, and life all start to go wrong, too… It’s sweet but naïve boy meets cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com!
The Rent-A-Girlfriend manga started serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2017 and has 40 volumes as of April 2025. The first season of the TV anime adaptation premiered in July 2020.
The 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.
Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4 will begin streaming on Crunchyroll on July 1.
