Fans of the hit romantic comedy anime Rent-A-Girlfriend can breathe a sigh of relief. Just as the fifth season concluded, the studio officially confirmed that the series will return for a sixth season. The announcement came on the heels of the Season 5 finale, which ended on a major cliffhanger that left viewers desperate to know what happens next.
The Official Confirmation for Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 6
The announcement for Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 6 arrived on June 27, 2026, shortly after the broadcast of the fifth season’s final episode. Character designer Kanna Hirayama shared a special illustration to celebrate the news, which featured the main characters Kazuya and Chizuru alongside Mini.
Reports indicate that the upcoming season will adapt the Cohabitation Arc from Reiji Miyajima’s original manga. This directly follows the events set up in the Season 5 finale, where Chizuru made the bold decision to let Kazuya and Mini stay at her house for a month. The season is expected to be produced by TMS Entertainment, though no specific release date has been announced yet.
What to Expect from Season 6: The Cohabitation Arc
Season 5 ended with a significant shift in Kazuya and Chizuru’s relationship. In the finale, Chizuru decided to let Kazuya and Mini live with her after learning about his housing situation. The arrangement came with several conditions: they would live together temporarily while Kazuya searches for permanent housing, everyone would have separate private spaces, and Mini must also stay at the house to cut down the romantic tension.
The announcement of Season 6 confirms that this storyline is far from over. The Cohabitation Arc will explore the awkward and emotional dynamics of the trio living under one roof. This setup leaves no room for either Kazuya or Chizuru to avoid their feelings, forcing them to confront the true nature of their relationship.
