Premieres in July and runs for two cours. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis of the source manga from AniList:

In today’s Japan, “rental” services can deliver an afternoon with a “friend,” a “parent,” even a fake girlfriend! After a staggering betrayal by his girlfriend, hapless freshman Kazuya gets just desperate enough to give it a try. But he quickly discovers how complicated it can be to “rent” an emotional connection, and his new “girlfriend,” who’s trying to keep her side hustle secret, will panic when she finds out her real life and Kazuya’s are intertwined in surprising ways! Family, school, and life all start to go wrong, too… It’s sweet but naïve boy meets cute but ruthless girl in this 21st-century manga rom-com!

they should make a show called "rent-a-looser" and it's just real life women renting shōnen MCs to roast them for being useless pieces of shit

That could also be a nice podcast idea

Kind of reminds me of "Class of 09".

"so what you saved the world or something,..? Big fuckin deal, you just prolonged my suffering aka: continuing to exist. You just eliminated my only potential chance to stop living without any of the guilt of unaliving myself cause like everyone would have like been snapped like that one purple fuck did in that superhero movie.. And I wouldn't have to go to work...So thank you very much, asshole."

That's a steep drop. I'm glad you're still alive.

I liked rent a girlfriend and only saw season 1 and this is in no way a dig but man I often see animes where its like how is that only just starting season 2 it was so long ago and others like this were its like woa. there are 4 seasons of this? Then some seem to have movies and its like, I would rather have more seasons than a movie.

Fucking Ruka. The worst character ever

Her sole purpose is to cockblock Kaz and blueball the reader whenever progress happens and the mangaka wants to slow things down to milk more volumes.

The progress happening in the manga....

Tap for spoilerJoyPolis date

is refreshing now....and I swear to God if Ruka is brought back in to flatline this arc to "start over" i will fucking drop it this time and replace my reading material while shitting with something else
