Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4: The Hawaiians Arc Promises Game-Changing Moments and Unpredictable Twists!

The widely acclaimed “hate-to-love” harem series returns for its fourth season, demonstrating that all forms of attention are beneficial. Resuming from where Season 3 ended, with Kazuya and Mizuhara sharing a heartfelt moment as Mizuhara sheds her composed exterior, revealing tears in Kazuya’s embrace, Season 4 aims to alleviate the tension by whisking the main characters away on a much-needed holiday. A sneak peek of the anime, available on the official website, suggests that the anime adaptation will soon delve into the Hawaiians arc.

This segment is where the narrative delves deep into controversial ground, incorporating elements from the manga that spark intense debates among fans. However, the animated adaptation has managed to effectively compress lengthy storylines for suitable pace up until now. Starting this July as part of the Summer 2025 anime lineup, the upcoming season will span across two blocks with a pause in between. Take a look at the fresh poster displayed below.

This arc adds some intriguing dialogues between Kazuya and various female characters, which I hope the anime will develop into meaningful character developments instead of confusing exposition that simply adds to the complex dynamics already present in the expanding harem of Rent-a-Girlfriend.

Rent-a-Girlfriend Has Earned Itself a Complicated Reputation Due To the Manga’s Pacing

Even though the anime version of “Rent-a-Girlfriend” continues to captivate audiences, many manga readers have been reading it each week more out of frustration than enjoyment. Initially, the manga received positive reviews, but with over 360 chapters published and minimal progress between the two main love interests, it’s understandable that fans are growing weary of the slow-paced narrative of “Rent-a-Girlfriend.” Critics worry that the manga is intentionally prolonging its story to deliver a hasty declaration of love at the end, while others believe it has deteriorated into unforgivable territory.

In simpler terms, the animated version of the story is generally better received, as its limited number of episodes forces it to compress itself, addressing many of the original comic’s pacing problems. The third season of the anime scores a 7 on MyAnimeList (MAL), outperforming both previous seasons and the manga upon which it’s based – an unusual feat. If this positive trend continues, Season 4 could be particularly satisfying for fans and potentially extend the life of the anime.
