Based on the romantic comedy manga written and illustrated by Reiji Miyajima, the anime Rent-A-Girlfriend has revealed its key visuals for its third season. The new season will premiere in July 2023.
In the key visual, the four heroines are looking at the viewer and smiling in a meadow where the stars shine brightly. The visual raises expectations for how the story will go in the third season, as well as further updates on the whole franchise.
Also, a special event “Event to Kanojo – EveKano – 2nd” featuring the main cast will be held on March 5 at Shintoshi Hall in Yokohama, Japan. Tickets will be on sale from now until March 2 and will be closed when the number of tickets reaches the planned number.
Reiji Miyajima began serializing the manga in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōkan Shōnen Magazine on July 12, 2017. The manga has been published in English as Rent-a-Girlfriend by Kodansha Comics USA since June 2, 2020.
The story follows Kinoshita Kazuya, a 20-year-old failure of a college student. He managed to kiss his girlfriend once but was dumped after a month. “Ugh… Damn it. I never want to go through that again.”
Completely spiteful, Kazuya uses a certain method to date a girl. He goes to their meeting place and suddenly hears,” You’re Kazuya-Kun, right?” A beautiful girl brushing her long, black hair behind her ear was there, smiling at him. Her name was Mizuhara Chizuru. Something real is born after just a single rental! A reckless rom-com filled with love and excitement is about to begin!
