Rent-a-Girlfriend's anime got its sixth season confirmed on June 26, 2026, barely two months after Season 5 finished its April premiere run — a notably fast turnaround for a series that's historically waited longer between seasons.
The announcement specifically named the upcoming season as covering the manga's "cohabitation arc," the stretch where Kazuya and Chizuru's living situation shifts in a way that forces the push-pull at the center of the series into much closer quarters than the rental-girlfriend premise originally allowed. For a series built almost entirely on romantic tension that refuses to resolve, that's a meaningful structural jump.
No release date has been attached yet, which tracks with how the franchise usually operates — announcements tend to land well ahead of concrete scheduling. Season 5 itself followed that same pattern, confirmed roughly seven months before its April premiere.
What's notable is the pace itself. Six seasons in five-ish years is fast for a romantic comedy without a studio-mandated finale in sight, and it suggests Rent-a-Girlfriend has settled into a reliable production rhythm rather than the stop-and-start schedule that similarly long-running rom-com adaptations often fall into.
