There were many fantastic hits in the Summer Anime Season 2020, but “Rent a Girlfriend,” based on the Weekly Shonen Magazine manga by Reiji Miyajima, was the most surprising standout. As a result of the manga’s success, particularly in China, “Rent-a-Girlfriend” has risen to fourth place on Netflix Japan’s most popular programs list, with Miyajima himself tweeting that the series had surpassed all other manga titles in terms of digital sales in August of last year, with 700,000 copies sold.

Rent-A-Girlfriend Sneak Peek

Many Japanese people now have the option of renting someone else’s company, which means they may spend an afternoon with someone they don’t really know. Twenty-year-old college dropout Kinoshita Kazuya has failed badly in his life’s ambitions and aspirations. It only took him a month of dating to be dumped by his girlfriend. Kazuya is resentful to the point of desperation, yet he decides to do it anyhow. In the process, he discovers how tough it may be to “rent” someone else’s emotional bond from another person. It’s inevitable that Kazuya’s new “girlfriend,” Mizuhara Chizuru, who’s trying to keep the details of her side business private, would be shocked when she learns how closely her life and Kazuya’s are linked! The curtain is ready to come down on a raunchy romantic comedy filled with love and excitement!

Three episodes of the Peacemaker television series According to rumors, the plot of “Hire a Fiancée” centers on 20-year-old Kazuya Kinoshita, who uses a dating app to “hire” a girlfriend after being rejected by his longtime fiancée Mami Nanami. The attractive Chizuru Mizuhara is rented out to him, but he later regrets the meeting and leaves her a bad rating on the site. It all goes worse from there when Kazauya brings Chizuru to his ailing grandma and she develops a crush on her. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Kazuya and Chizuru reside next door to one another.

Many questioned whether or not there will be a second season after the first aired its last episode. In order to create enough interest in a second season, the show’s producer, Taiki Kakizaki, urged fans to pre-buy the Blu-ray. The good news is that Season 2 of “Rent A Girlfriend” has been announced. The following is what we know thus far about the scenario.

How Soon Can We Expect To Be Able To Purchase The Second Season Of Rent-A-Girlfriend On Home Video?

Almost soon after the first season finished, “Rent-a-Girlfriend” announced a second. It was revealed after the first season came to an end in 2019 that a second season had been confirmed. On the other hand, no timetable for its arrival had been announced. A considerable increase above earlier projections was made early this year by Anime News Network, who predicted that Season 2 of “Rent-a-Girlfriend” will arrive in 2022.

People were anticipating for an early release in 2021 since the first season had ended a year earlier. Contrarily, it is possible that the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed the series: The outbreak, according to Nikkei Asia, has severely disrupted Japanese animation firms, making a 2022 release the only feasible option.

If prior seasons are any indication, Season 2 will be published in the same year’s summer. After launching in Japan and the US in late August, “Rent-a-Girlfriend” Season 2 is scheduled to follow a similar path in 2022 when it debuts.

What Cast Will Return For Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 2?

Season 2 of “Rent-a-Girlfriend” has yet to make an official announcement regarding its cast. No of what happens in Season 2, it’s safe to assume that most of the original actors will return. After all, a special short film starring the majority of the main anime voice cast was produced to coincide with the official announcement of the show’s second season. Chizuru Mizuhara’s character was spoken by Sora Amamiya, Mami Nanami was voiced by Aoi Yuki, Ruka Sarashina was voiced by Nao Toyama, Shun Horie was voiced by Kazuya Kinoshita, and Yukari Nozawa was voiced by Kazuya’s grandmother, Nagomi Kinoshita.

TMS Entertainment is likely to continue to produce “Rent-a-Girlfriend” Season 2, with Kazuomi Koga as anime director, Mitsutaka Hirota as script supervisor, Kanna Hirayama as anime character designer and HYADAIN providing the main soundtrack for the second season.

Season Two Of Rent-A-Girlfriend Has A Clear Concept

Even though it is scheduled to be published shortly, “Rent-a-Girlfriend” Season 2 has not yet been given an official plot plan in writing. However, the first season did not deviate much from the manga, following the first six volumes quite closely. There’s a lot of material for the next season to draw on, too, given that the manga has over 190 chapters and 19 volumes so far, with no word on when it will be finished.

The last episode of Season 1 included a number of notable occurrences. It was revealed that Mami had really hired Chizuru, and that she was aware of the true nature of her and Kazuya’s love relationship when she questioned her about it. While Chizuru maintained that Kazuya was in reality her boyfriend, Kazuya’s sister contradicted this. Kazuya’s real affection for Mami didn’t evoke an enthusiastic response from Mami when she questioned about the matter. He subsequently confesses to her that he wants to have her as a girlfriend, but then backtracks and says that she was only going to be his rental.

Season 2 will undoubtedly continue to focus on Kazuya, Chizuru, and Mami’s relationships. Furthermore, although the first season hinted at the characters’ actual emotions, fans can expect those feelings to be explored further in the upcoming second season.
