The staff of the Rent-a-Girlfriend anime announced on Saturday that the series will receive a sixth season, adapting the manga's Cohabitation arc. The announcement came just days after the fifth season concluded. The fifth season ended its streaming run on DMM TV on Wednesday and aired its 12th and final television episode on Friday. The fifth season, which debuted on April 8 on DMM TV and April 10 on the Animeism block, is technically the second cour of the previously announced fourth season. The fourth season originally planned two cours with a break. Character designer Kanna Hirayama shared a commemorative illustration to mark the sixth season's production decision. The manga by Reiji Miyajima launched in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in July 2017, and its 46th compiled volume shipped on June 17. Crunchyroll streams the series worldwide except in Asia. The anime previously inspired a live-action series that premiered in July 2022.
The sixth season announcement follows the pattern of the series' recent production structure. The fourth season, which debuted in July 2025, was originally slated for two cours with a break; the fifth season that just ended is that second cour, covering the Hawaiians arc alongside the fourth. For the fourth season, director Kazuomi Koga, who helmed the first two seasons, returned to replace third-season director Shin'ya Une. TMS Entertainment handled production from the third season onward. The manga's 46th volume shipped on June 17, and Kodansha USA publishes the English edition. The live-action series premiered in July 2022. The commemorative illustration by character designer Kanna Hirayama shows Chizuru and Mini clinking glasses with the text "Season 6 - Production Decision" in the background, with Kazuya also present. Crunchyroll streams the entire series, describing it as a story where a heartbroken college student rents a girlfriend and real feelings develop from the fake relationship.
