Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 5

Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 5 is a twelve-episode comedy romance series that premiered in spring 2026. The season aired as an ONA, with early access on DMM TV before its regular broadcast release. This installment escalates the central conflict as Kazuya Kinoshita grapples with ending his fake relationship with rental girlfriend Chizuru Ichinose following his family's spa resort trip. The mixed signals he's received have finally pushed him toward making a decisive choice about their charade.

The season introduces significant complications when Kazuya's ex-girlfriend Mami Nanami takes direct action to expose the couple's pretense in front of his family and friends. Rather than allowing the facade to collapse on his own terms, Kazuya finds himself forced into an immediate crisis where he must act quickly to protect his reputation and social standing. The synopsis suggests the series shifts from slow-burn relationship tension into more direct confrontation and plot escalation.

Fans seeking resolution to the long-running romantic setup will find this season represents a turning point in the narrative. The ONA format means viewers could access new episodes slightly ahead of traditional television scheduling, with the series following a weekly release pattern beginning in April 2026.
