A sixth season of the Rent-a-Girlfriend anime is in production, adapting the manga's Cohabitation arc, and a succubus-themed pop up shop sold merchandise in Akihabara and through Animebako in October 2026.
The Rent-a-Girlfriend anime has a sixth season in production. The staff announced it within days of the fifth season's finale, and it will adapt the manga's Cohabitation arc. The fifth season ended its streaming run on DMM TV on a Wednesday and aired its 12th and final television episode that Friday. The season had debuted on April 8 on DMM TV and April 10 on the Animeism block, and is technically the second cour of the previously announced fourth season. Character designer Kanna Hirayama shared a commemorative illustration for the sixth season decision.
Reiji Miyajima's manga launched in Weekly Shonen Magazine in July 2017, and its 46th compiled volume shipped on June 17. Crunchyroll streams the anime worldwide except in Asia. The series previously inspired a live-action show that premiered in July 2022.
In a June 2026 interview, Miyajima said protagonist Kazuya Kinoshita is essentially his clone and that Chizuru Mizuhara represents the ideal woman. The remarks drew renewed criticism that the manga is a self-insert fantasy, something Miyajima has addressed before by saying all characters are based on aspects of himself.
In October 2026, a pop up shop with newly drawn succubus-themed illustrations of Chizuru Mizuhara, Mami Nanami, Ruka Sarashina, Sumi Sakurasawa and Mini Yaemori ran at AKIBA Cultures ZONE in Akihabara from Saturday, October 3 to Monday, October 12. Merchandise included long tapestries, clear files, acrylic keychains, glitter can badges and mini bromides, sold at the venue and online through Animebako from October 3 at 11:00 to October 12 at 23:59.
