A Drama-Filled Season Is Coming Soon
While not a lot of information was shared at this time, the news of the return of season 1 and 2's director, Kazuomi Koga, who will replace season 3's, Shin'ya Une, was quite interesting and was the biggest information so far. Furthermore, the fact that the season will go on for 6 months, although there will be a short break in the middle, is great as it allows for the long arc to be adapted at once and with no interruption. The first 3 seasons of Rent-A-Girlfriend had the standard 12 episodes, so the production team switching to double to accommodate the source material is good news.
The Hawaii Trip Arc in Rent-A-Girlfriend takes place during a group vacation at Spa Resort Hawaiians, organized by Nagomi Kinoshita to strengthen the bonds among the group. Participants include Kazuya, Chizuru, Mami, Ruka, along with Kazuya’s friends, parents, and grandparents. The drama intensifies as Kazuya and Chizuru try to maintain their pretend relationship in front of everyone, while Mami works hard to uncover the truth. This creates some of the most captivating developments and character progression in the series, making this season a must-watch.
