Synopsis

After the success of his crowdfunded movie featuring the woman of his dreams, Chizuru Ichinose, university student Kazuya Kinoshita resumes his life of lies and deception. Although he pretends that he has been in an ideal relationship with Chizuru for more than a year, Kazuya still mostly sees her through a rental girlfriend company's services. However, after Kazuya attends a private party with Chizuru, he reaches the decision to finally confess his feelings to her. Unfortunately for him, his trial girlfriend Ruka Sarashina and his ex-girlfriend Mami Nanami continue to complicate his already messy attempts at romance. While he is forced to keep up his facade, Kazuya is under pressure to find a solution to his ever chaotic love life. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I can already tell I am going to get absolutely clowned on for this review and to be honest, I am 100% ok with this. I have already accepted it. Rent a Girlfriend. What in the fuck can I say about this show that hasn't been said by now? This is going to be a very clowned on statement but I like RAG. I find this show to be very enjoyable despite its many issues. Let's take it from the top. I'm not going to individually review each season because I can't be fucked. However, I'll do a summary. Rent a Girlfriend is about aguy known as Kazuya, who rents out a girl known as Chizuru due to being dumped by his partner Mami. He then falls in love with Chizuru and the story goes in so many goddamn directions, it's pretty hard to summarize the events Season 1: Really enjoyed - Introduced us to the cast of characters, and gave us possibly the most frustrating confession I have ever witnessed in a romance anime and I have seen a lot of romance anime. Season 2: Also really liked, not the best season. However, it showed Kazuya was willing to go through great lengths just for Chizuru. It also expanded on the characters back stories. Season 3: By far my favorite season of the bunch so far. It also introduced us to Yaemori who was a fantastic character. Season 4: What in the fuck was the start of this season? - The first 30 seconds of the show starts of with Kazuya gooning and having a mini Sumi covering his crotch (why'd they have to do Sumi like that?) - This season follows Kazuya on a trip with Chizuru, his Grandma, Mami and Ruka and a few other friends that are mostly just there. Mami is dead set on telling Granny about the fake relationship and what's really been going on. They all get into ridiculous situations to try and avoid all that and Kazuya tries non stop to try and ask Chizuru out to make a lie into a truth. Despite the completely out of pocket start to the season, I actually liked this season. Don't get me wrong, it was probably my least favorite out of all the seasons, but I still liked it. I do wish we got more Sumi and Yaemori, but that's complete biased because Sumi is my favorite. I do wish she was there though for real because she's more of the voice of reason and she's a fantastic support. She could have been there to comfort. As for the cast Chizuru: I like, she seems the most normal out of all of them, but I do really wish she would learn to speak up and stop letting people walk over her. She could have easily told Mami to piss off and mind her own, but she didn't. There were so many times, but she just didn't. Sumi: The best girl (biased) - Consistently has been a fantastic character, a great support, adorable and overall a great girl. Really wish she got more screen time and I'm not just saying that because she is my favorite, but she's also gotten the least amount of screen time in this anime and that's disappointing because the episodes with Sumi feel so refreshing and they're really sweet. Ruka: annoying Yaemori: She feels like the voice of all the audience. When we're basically begging for plot progression and for these 2 to finally get together. Yaemori feels like the personification of all of us and she's there to pass our message on. She literally out right tells Chizuru how Kazuya feels. She did in 1 episode what he couldn't do for 3 seasons. She was a very well needed character. Mami: It's annoying how she knows how to make a great point. I can't get a read on her to be honest. I can't tell if she's doing it to get back at Kazuya for breaking up, because she actually cares about him or she just wants to be a dick. I can't tell, but every time she has made a good point. About how Chizuru has really dragged this on and how she really needs to come clean. Rent a Girlfriend is not a show for people who are a fan of romance anime because if you're wanting a confession, it's basically never going to happen. It's more for people just wanting a laid back anime (that is the best way I can put that) as whilst yes there is romance portions, it never goes anywhere and it feels quite frustrating at times. I don't know why I like RAG so much, but I just do. My order goes from best to worst: Sumi, Chizuru, Yaemori, Mami, Ruka 7/10

If you thought this season would finally deliver meaningful character development or emotional payoff… think again. Season 4 is nothing more than a recycled mess of fake dates, awkward tension, and a protagonist who still hasn’t grown a spine. - **Plot stagnation**: The so-called “Paradise Arc” promised depth and drama. What we got was filler disguised as romance. - **Character regression**: Kazuya remains painfully indecisive, Chizuru is emotionally locked down, and the rest of the cast feels like reruns of their former selves. - **Tone confusion**: The anime tries to appeal to adults with sexual innuendos and fanservice, yet the storytelling feels juvenile and repetitive. - **Production vs. substance**:Visually, it’s polished. Narratively, it’s hollow. The staff clearly prioritized quantity over quality. Honestly, it feels like the creators are just dragging this out for profit. If anything fresh or meaningful ever comes from this series again, it’ll be because fans demanded fairness and emotional honesty—not because the studio suddenly remembered how to write. Score: Story: 2 Animation: 5 Sound: 2 Characters: 3 Enjoyment: 2 Overall: 3/10
