Kazuya and Chizuru are going to live together. And that, for anyone following the series, is enough to know complications are coming. Rent-a-Girlfriend has officially confirmed its sixth season, which will adapt the Cohabitation Arc, accompanied by a promotional image drawn by character designer Kanna Hirayama. The illustration features Kazuya, Chizuru and Mini toasting together in a clearly celebratory tone.

The fifth season aired between April and June 2026, and the confirmation of the sixth comes directly after its conclusion. The Cohabitation Arc, as its name suggests, takes the dynamic between the protagonists to a territory where the distance they maintained is reduced in a way neither can completely ignore. There are no details yet on the release date, production team, or cast changes for this installment. That information is expected later.

About Rent-a-Girlfriend

Rent-a-Girlfriend (Kanojo, Okarishimasu) is a manga by Reiji Miyajima serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine since July 2017, with over 15 million copies in circulation. The story follows Kazuya Kinoshita, a university student in Tokyo who falls in love with Chizuru Mizuhara, an exceptionally beautiful “rental girlfriend” who also turns out to be his university classmate. Chizuru’s real identity must remain a secret, and that tension between what is said and what is felt drives the series. The anime has spanned six seasons since its first debut in 2020, also adding a live-action drama adaptation in 2022.

Is the Cohabitation Arc the point in the story you most expected for Kazuya and Chizuru’s relationship to advance, or do you think the manga has been postponing the decisive moment for too long?
