Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4 is slated for a July release! Alongside the air date announcement, TMS Entertainment released a new promotional visual featuring the show’s cast. The upcoming season will air in a split-cour season.
Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4 Additional Info
The show’s PR team revealed that most of Season 3’s production staff are reprising their roles. A substantial change to the production team comes with the directorial position. Shin’ya Une (Season 3’s director) will replace the show’s original director, Kazuomi Koga. The show’s fourth season will focus on the story’s Hawaii arc.
Kanojo, Okarishimasu Season 4’s voice cast includes:
- Shun Horie as Kazuya Kinoshita
- Sora Amamiya as Chizuru Mizuhara
- Aoi Yuki as Mami Nanami
- Rie Takahashi as Sumi Sakurasawa
- Nao Toyama as Ruka Sarashima
- Yu Serizawa as Mini Yaemori
Since its serialization debut in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, Rent-a-Girlfriend has sold over thirteen million copies. Reiji Miyajima illustrates and writes the manga. Kanojo, Okarishimasu has already received a live-action adaptation, spin-off mangas, several video games, and four TV anime seasons. All seasons of the anime are streaming on Crunchyroll.
Why Does It Matter?
The announcement of Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4 triggers a surge of hate and vitriol typically hurled at the anime. That hate is something I never understood. I agree with those who say that Kazuya can be a creep. However, the laments of those who say that the series is unbelievable because the girls liking Kazuya would never happen in real life. In fact, I’d argue they show a dangerous detachment from reality. I can name a long list of everything from war criminals to serial killers to kingpins with loving families and spouses. Even Richard Ramirez and El Chapo married after people knew what they were up to. By comparison, Kazuya is a 10/10, and plenty of people would happily accept someone like him.
In our increasingly polarized world, people won’t readily admit it. But fans of the series view it as a mundane fact. We get to enjoy laughable pervy moments, and that’s a win. Many of us might not empathize with or relate to Kazuya. But I don’t relate to several anime characters and still adore their shows. Fans will laugh at it, eagerly wait for it, and enjoy it despite the blowback against it. They’ll love it!
What’s Kanojo, Okarishimasu About?
When Kazuya Kinoshita suffers his major first heartbreak, he turns to compensated dating to get a reprieve from the loneliness. Through that service, he meets the charismatic and perfect girlfriend candidate, Chizuru Mizuhara. But after a perfect date, he grows increasingly upset that it was all a farce and leaves a negative review on her work profile. But when she confronts him about it, a peculiarity of fate forces the two to begin a dating charade to placate their grandparents. As they push themselves to interact and maintain appearances, their “fake” relationship steadily transforms into something more genuine.
