According to a report made by X/Twitter user Manga Mogura RE (Anime & Manga News) (@MangaMoguraRE), Rent-a-Girlfriend (Kanojo, Okarishimasu) manga author Reiji Miyajima will unveil a “HAPPY ANNOUNCEMENT” on March 5, 2025.
Without revealing many details about what will be announced on that day, different users have started to speculate about the content of the announcement. Many have linked it directly to Reiji Miyajima’s best-known work Rent-a-Girlfriend, with some expecting it to be the end of the manga, as they feel that Chizuru Mizuhara and Kazuya Kinoshita’s story has been stretched out too long.
On the other hand, others have taken the matter with humor and have joked that the announcement will be the “extension of the Rent-a-Girlfriend story.” At the moment, nothing has been confirmed, and we can only wait until March 5 to find out what it’s all about.

The anime Rent-a-Girlfriend will have a Fourth Season
In July 2024, the anime adaptation of the manga Rent-a-Girlfriend (Kanojo, Okarishimasu) announced the production of a fourth season, which will cover the “Hawaii Trip Arc”. This installment will premiere in Japan during the month of July 2025.
The manga Rent-a-Girlfriend (Kanojo, Okarishimasu) has the following description: Kazuya Kinoshita, a college student emotionally shattered by the abandonment of his girlfriend, tries to appease the emptiness in his heart by renting a girlfriend through a mobile app. At first, Chizuru Mizuhara seems to be the perfect girl, with everything he could ask for: great looks and a friendly, caring personality.
Seeing mixed reviews on her profile after their first date, and still haunted by his previous relationship, Kazuya believes Chizuru is just playing with men’s hearts and leaves her a negative rating. Angered by her client’s lack of respect for her, Chizuru reveals her true nature: brash and temperamental, quite the opposite of Kazuya’s first impression. At the same moment, Kazuya receives news of his grandmother’s collapse and is forced to take Chizuru with him to the hospital.
Although it turns out to be nothing serious, his grandmother is ecstatic that Kazuya has finally found a serious girlfriend, which had always been his wish. Unable to tell her the truth, Kazuya and Chizuru are forced to maintain a fake relationship, acting as if they are real lovers.
