Big news for rom-com anime fans around the world, Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 5 is officially happening in 2026! Yes you heard that right, The announcement came straight from the anime’s official X account, paired with a fresh key visual that has already set fan discussions on fire.
While we don’t have an exact release date just yet, one thing’s for sure: Kazuya, Chizuru, and the whole rollercoaster of emotions they bring with them are coming back, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
The Story That Stole Our Hearts
If you’ve been a fan around since Season 1, you know exactly why Rent-A-Girlfriend became such a hit among fans. Adapted from Reiji Miyajima’s manga, the anime first dropped in 2020 and instantly stood out.
We met Kazuya Kinoshita, a heartbroken college student who turns to a rental girlfriend service after getting dumped. What he didn’t expect was meeting Chizuru Mizuhara, a rental girlfriend who’s smart, beautiful, and far more complicated than she first lets on.
From that moment, the series became more than just a rom-com. It’s messy, it’s funny, and it’s painfully relatable at times. Kazuya’s awkward blunders, Chizuru’s hidden vulnerability, and the chaos caused by the other characters kept us glued to every episode.
It’s no wonder the manga has sold over 14 million copies and the anime has sparked endless debates online. If you’ve ever scrolled through fan threads, you know how passionate people get about who Kazuya should end up with.
Why Season 5 Is a Big Deal
Now that Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 5 is locked in for 2026, the hype feels even bigger. Sure, the creators are keeping the plot under wraps, but if you’re a manga reader, you already know what kind of emotional gut-punches and hilarious chaos are waiting.
For anime-only fans, that just makes it even better, you’ll get to experience every twist completely fresh.
What keeps this series alive is how it balances everything. It’s funny enough to make you laugh out loud, heartfelt enough to make you tear up, and chaotic enough that you have to talk about it with friends right after watching the series.
And with the manga still ongoing, there’s plenty of story left, which means Season 5 might just be another step toward an even bigger payoff down the road.
Until 2026 arrives, all we can do is speculate (and maybe rewatch the earlier seasons for comfort). Will Kazuya finally grow a backbone? Will Chizuru let her guard down more? Or will the supporting cast steal the spotlight again? Whatever happens, one thing’s guaranteed, Season 5 is going to get everyone talking all over again.
