Following the finale of the 5th season of the anime series »Rent-A-Girlfriend« (Japanese: »Kanojo, Okarishimasu«), the production of a 6th season was surprisingly confirmed. The announcement was made on the night of June 26, 2026, immediately after the broadcast of the 12th and final episode of the 5th season on the »Animeism« slot on MBS, TBS, and CBC.
The new season is subtitled »Cohabitation Arc« and adapts one of the most popular story arcs from the original manga by Reiji Miyajima. It picks up right after the events of the previous »Hawaiians Arc« and focuses on the growing closeness between protagonist Kazuya Kinoshita and the »rental girlfriend« Chizuru Mizuhara.
To celebrate the series renewal, character designer Kanna Hirayama released a specially drawn illustration. It shows Kazuya, Chizuru, and Mini Yaemori raising their glasses—a lively scene that underscores the anticipation for the new season.
The 5th season started on April 10, 2026, and consisted of 12 episodes. Kazuomi Koga, who was already responsible for the first two seasons as well as the 4th season, directed it. The screenplay was written by Mitsutaka Hirota, with character design by Kanna Hirayama. The project continues to be animated by Studio TMS Entertainment. The main voice cast remains unchanged: Shun Horie voices Kazuya, Sora Amamiya voices Chizuru, complemented by Aoi Yuki (Mami), Nao Toyama (Ruka), Rie Takahashi (Sumi), and Yu Serizawa (Mini).
The original manga by Reiji Miyajima has been serialized in the weekly magazine »Weekly Shonen Magazine« by Kodansha since July 2017. As of June 2026, 46 tankōbon volumes have been released. The anime adaptation began in July 2020 and has enjoyed continuous popularity ever since. In addition to the main series, there is a spin-off manga about the shy Sumi, as well as a live-action series broadcast in 2022.
A specific broadcast date for the 6th season is not yet available. The creators ask for patience for further announcements.
