Season 4: Episodes & Release

  • Number of Episodes: 12 episodes in the first cour (first half).

  • First Aired: July 5, 2025 (first cour premiere) on Japanese networks: MBS, TBS, BS-TBS. 

  • Schedule: Episodes are released weekly. 

Plot / What’s New in Season 4

  • The fourth season adapts from volume 20 onward of the manga. 

  • A major story arc in Season 4 is the “Spa Resort Hawaiians” arc (a trip / resort setting) which promises to bring new developments in the relationships between main characters, especially for Kazuya Kinoshita and his romantic-conflicts involving Chizuru Mizuhara, Mami Nanami, Ruka, etc. 

  • As usual, the themes of fake/real emotions, jealousy, misunderstandings, and character growth are central. Season 4 digs deeper into Kazuya’s feelings & decisions. 

Cast (Main Voice Actors)

Some of the returning cast includes:

  • Shun Horie as Kazuya Kinoshita 

  • Sora Amamiya as Chizuru Mizuhara 

  • Aoi Yūki as Mami Nanami 

  • Nao Tōyama as Ruka Sarashina 

  • Rie Takahashi as Sumi Sakurasawa 

There are also supporting characters returning, integrating the drama/frenemy relationships the series is known for. 

Broadcast & Streaming Details

  • Networks (Japan): MBS, TBS, BS-TBS (Animeism block) 

  • Streaming Outside Japan: Earlier episodes released on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, etc. 

  • English Dub: The season includes an English dub which began streaming from July (for some episodes) on Crunchyroll. 

IMDb & General Reception Facts

  • On IMDb, Rent-A-Girlfriend is listed with ID tt11448214. 

  • IMDb credits include Reiji Miyajima as creator. 

  • The announcement for Season 4 was made officially in 2024 and fans were expecting the Spa Hawaiians arc to be adapted. 

What Makes Season 4 Stand Out

  • Returning direction by Kazuomi Koga brings continuity, especially after Season 3. 

  • The “Spa Resort Hawaiians” setting gives a fresh backdrop for character interactions, and greater emotional stakes. 

  • The split cour structure allows pacing to be more balanced: first 12 episodes building up the arc; second cour expected to resolve or deepen conflicts. 


Strengths & Weaknesses (Based on First Cour / Early Feedback)

Strengths:

  • Good character development, particularly in the relationships among Chizuru, Kazuya, and the other girls.

  • Animation quality, voice acting, and music continue to be strong.

  • The new arc’s setting provides opportunities for growth and emotional beats (resort, vacation-type settings often bring fun + conflict).

Weaknesses / Potential Concerns:

  • The formula is well-known by now; viewers might find similar tropes of misunderstandings, jealousy repeating.

  • Some fans expect more progress in Kazuya & Chizuru’s relationship — there may be frustration if things remain ambiguous.

  • Since split cours means a mid-season break, momentum might drop between parts if not handled carefully.

Verdict & What to Expect Next

Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4 keeps delivering for fans of the series: it promises more emotional tension, relationship developments, and the mix of comedy & romance that the series is known for. If you enjoyed Seasons 1-3, this is probably satisfying, especially with the Spa Resort Hawaiians arc. Those watching for big relationship payoffs may have to wait, especially for the second cour.

For those new to the series, Season 4 is also a decent entry if you’re okay with going back to earlier seasons to understand the background of characters’ relationships.
