This article gives every little thing that’s recognized about Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 (Kanojo Okarishimasu Season 3) and all associated information. As such, this text shall be up to date over time with information, rumors, and evaluation. Meanwhile, let’s delve into what is for certain.
Why the Kanojo Okarishimasu Season 3 launch date is in Summer 2023
As of the final replace, Studio TMS Entertainment, Kodansha, or any firm associated to the manufacturing of the anime has not formally confirmed the precise Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 launch date. However, the manufacturing of a Rent-A-Girlfriend 3 sequel was formally introduced on September 16, 2022. The premiere timeframe was confirmed to be July 2023 on February 16, 2023.
Once the information is formally confirmed this text shall be up to date with the related info.
Similar to Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! (the Uzaki-chan Season 2 anime is confirmed), the Rent-A-Girlfriend anime collection overcame unfavorable evaluations from vocal individuals who merely take into account the anime unwatchable since they really feel the principle character is unlikeable as an individual. To be truthful, the cringe issue is actual within the second season, by no means thoughts the primary, however sufficient individuals are nonetheless streaming the episodes in excessive sufficient quantity to beat any critics.
Just like these ladies faking dates for money, it’s all in regards to the cash, child! In that regard, the anime’s second season failed to provide a serious increase to Rent-A-Girlfriend manga gross sales because it didn’t make Oricon’s Top 20 manga collection chart for July 2022.
As of December 2021, the principle manga collection had over 10 million copies in circulation in line with Crunchyroll News. The Rent-a-(Really Shy!)-Girlfriend manga spin-off had 250,000 copies in circulation after releasing 3 volumes.
To be truthful, the one Summer 2022 anime collection to make that chart was Kingdom, Ao Ashi, and Call of the Night. Even the Chainsaw Man manga made it to the Top 20 based mostly on sheer hype for the upcoming Chainsaw Man anime launch date in Fall 2022. (We’re additionally predicting that Kingdom Season 5 and Ao Ashi Season 2 will occur sooner or later.)
However, manga gross sales are solely an indicator of an anime collection’ reputation in Japan, whereas international streaming income is the most important issue. In that regard, the second season did effectively because it was usually featured in Crunchyroll’s fashionable anime record in Summer 2022.
Animation studio schedules are booked out years prematurely. Since Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 was seemingly deliberate out prematurely, TMS Entertainment is pretty well-known for doing a number of seasons for anime collection they produce. For their 2023 manufacturing schedule, the one undertaking introduced to this point is the Winter 2023 anime High Card and the Spring 2023 anime Dr. STONE Season 3: New World.
Since the third season was introduced in September 2022, within the best-case situation, Anime Geek efficiently predicted that the Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 launch date can be within the 2nd half of 2023.
Crunchyroll’s Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 English dub launch date predictions
Crunchyroll’s Rent-A-Girlfriend English dub was launched on August 28, 2020, with new episodes airing each Friday. Crunchyroll’s Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 2 English dub launch date was on July 15, 2022.
The Rent-a-Girlfriend dub forged consists of Kazuya Kinoshita being voiced by Aleks Le, whose earlier credit embody Dorohedoro and Demon Slayer (see our story on Demon Slayer Season 3).

Presumably, Crunchyroll’s Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 English dub launch date shall be introduced inside a number of weeks of the third season’s premiere with English subtitles.
Rent-A-Girlfriend manga in comparison with the Kanojo Okarishimasu anime
The story for the Rent-A-Girlfriend anime TV present is predicated on the Kanojo Okarishimasu manga collection by Reiji Miyajima. Serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine since July 2017, the manga has over 250 chapters, and it’s as much as Volume 28 as of September 16, 2022.
The Rent-A-Girlfriend manga’s ending hasn’t been introduced, neither is the collection in its remaining arc. However, followers have been predicting that the Rent-A-Girlfriend manga’s remaining arc must be developing.
Some followers really feel that meaningless story arcs had been dragged out and that the character growth started to stagnate after Chapter 150 (which must be tailored by Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4). Rent-A-Girlfriend Chapter 218 was particularly notorious for Kazuya’s habits and a NTR scene. Thus, it’s believed that the tip is simply over the horizon for the reason that manga collection has exceeded the edge the place many tales start to wind down the narrative towards the conclusion.
A manga spin-off collection referred to as Rent-A-Really-Shy-Girfriend (Kanojo Hitomishirimasu) launched in June 2020. Also written by Miyajima, the spin-off focuses on the Rent-A-Girlfriend character Sumi Sakurasawa though Mami does make appearances.
Kodansha Comics USA is publishing the official English translation of the manga collection. Volume 14 was revealed on September 20, 2022, whereas Volume 15 is scheduled for October 18, 2022, and Volume 16 for December 20, 2022.

When rom-com manga collection are tailored for a TV collection, the scriptwriters will usually tremendously rearrange story arcs, skip chapters, and condense content material for time. An ideal instance is the Kaguya-Sama! Love Is War anime (see our story on Kaguya-sama Season 4), which shifted chapters round with ease since many of the story arcs are self-contained.
By distinction, the Rent-A-Girlfriend anime is a extra easy adaptation of the manga collection largely resulting from necessity. There is a particular story development between many of the chapters, so making any modifications has main ramifications resulting from all of the connecting plot factors.
That’s to not say the anime didn’t make modifications. For instance, Episode 1 switched among the occasions of the primary two chapters round by having the hospital scene happen earlier than the faculty scene. Sometimes the dialogue is condensed, they usually skipped some minor scenes just like the seashore pocky kissing sport of Chapter 11.
The most notable change made by Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 2 was that it skipped Chapters 54 and 55. This change was most likely made to keep up a constant timeline for the reason that first season skipped a scene associated to Kazuya’s dad that related to those chapters.
The adaptation pacing was additionally noticeably quicker close to the tip of the second season, which meant that sure scenes had been skipped. For instance, there was a serious Sumi fan service scene that was skipped by Season 2 Episode 11. In the manga, once they go fishing Kazuya’s finger will get harm and Sumi began sucking the wound.

- Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 2 Episode 11: Chapters 93-99
- Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 2 Episode 12: Chapters 99-104
All in all, the second season’s finale, Kanojo Okarishimasu Season 2 Episode 12, discovered a stopping level equivalent to manga Volume 13: Chapter 104.
It’s the perfect stopping level because it ends in a dramatic vogue with Kazuya convincing Chizuru to take a leap of religion and pursue her dream of creating a crowdfunded film so her grandma can watch it on the massive display screen earlier than she passes away. The finale scene with Chizuru within the tub additionally signifies that she’s beginning to really feel one thing for Kazuya.
To finish the second season earlier in the midst of Chizuru’s flashback wouldn’t have made sense, and it’s simply too unhappy to finish with Chiziru’s failure on the Love Doki audition. Ending with Sumi’s observe date was additionally a nasty stopping because it ends with Kazuya and Sumi actually crying collectively over the entire state of affairs.
The excellent news is that the manga at the moment presents greater than sufficient supply materials for Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 3 to be made. Arguably, the manga is already lengthy sufficient for Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4 and 5!
Better but, English-only manga readers wishing to learn forward of the anime collection can bounce straight to English Volume 13. (When the primary season ended, manga readers needed to wait till Summer 2021 for the English Volume 7 to launch.)
