Rent a Girlfriend: The Upcoming Season 2 and Possible Release Dates

After the protagonist, Kazuya Kinoshita, is dumped by his girlfriend, he goes online to rent one. The one-month long dalliance with his ex Mami Nanami has made him take such a drastic step as he hopes to find the right balance in life. He meets his rented girlfriend, Chizuru Mizuhara on an online app. But thinking that she is too good to be true, Kazuya gives him a low rating for which he is later reprimanded by her. He takes her to meet his grandmother after she collapses in the hospital, to his surprise, his grandmother really likes Chizuru when she gets to know her. Kazuya then keeps renting her to make his friends and family happy, but things get weird when they find out that they are next-door neighbors who attend the same college.  

Released earlier this year, the show became a huge success this year. The show was able to compete with other anime like In/Spectre, God of High School and Tower of God, which have been great hits of this summer. Even though season 1 of the show has just concluded, the excited fans are already speculating release dates of season 2. The season finale just premiered this Friday, and it has been officially announced that the show is renewed for a season 2.

However, the announcement of season 2 is hardly a surprise looking at the success that Rent a Girlfriend has had. Whenever there is a discussion over the continuation of an anime, the two most decisive factors are source material and the popularity that the show has been able to achieve. Rent a Girlfriend has been the second most popular show in Japan on Netflix after Fire Force, which means it has enough fans rooting for it to make a return. Then there is the question of the source material. Rent a Girlfriend manga already has over 150 published chapters and the season 1 is probably going to cover only 50 chapters which means there will be over hundred chapters that will still be available for the upcoming seasons.

So, since the show ticks, both boxes of popularity and source material and it seems that we can expect not just season 2, but many more seasons after that. With the material of more than a hundred chapters already available, everything is ready to go, and the fans aren’t wrong in expecting the second season as soon as possible. As far as the official dates for the release are concerned, there are no announcements regarding it as of now. But the fans can expect to see the show again by next year’s summer, so the wait hopefully is not going to be that long. Rent a Girlfriend is probably going to continue its successful run even after season 2 if its current fanbase is to be believed. If you are a fan, then you can rest assured, Rent a Girlfriend is here to stay.
