About Rent-A-Girlfriend

Based on the manga by Reiji Miyajima, Rent A Girlfriend follows Kazuya Kinoshita, a hopeless college student living in Tokyo, who falls in love with the stunning rental girlfriend Chizuru Mizuhara. While Chizuru appears to be an ordinary and modest student attending the same university, her true identity must remain a secret.

Unable to suppress his growing feelings, Kazuya finds himself entangled in an increasingly complicated relationship, where the two are scolded, supported, and challenged by family members, friends, and even a former girlfriend. The series unfolds as a rental romantic comedy that blends misunderstandings, emotional growth, and heartfelt moments.

The manga has surpassed 15 million copies in circulation. The anime first aired in 2020, followed by Season 2 in 2022, Season 3 in 2023, and Season 4 in 2025. A live action television drama adaptation was also produced in 2022.
