The popular series *Rent-a-Girlfriend* has achieved a significant new accomplishment, potentially surpassing *Dragon Ball* in popularity. The creator of the often-discussed romance story recently commented on reaching this milestone. While *Rent-a-Girlfriend* initially grabbed attention with its unique look at the rental service industry, it has become known for its slow-moving romantic plotlines. Fans have been waiting for years to see any of the potential couples actually come together, and the story continues to develop at a gradual pace.
Since its debut, *Rent-a-Girlfriend* has faced ongoing criticism, but the series continues to release new installments with no end in sight. Despite the controversy, it still has a dedicated fanbase eager to see how the story concludes. Recently, with the latest volume surpassing *Dragon Ball*’s run in Shonen Jump magazine, the series creator, Reiji Miyajima, expressed his astonishment at the series’ longevity.
Rent-a-Girlfriend Reacts to How Long The Series Has Gone On For
After a fan pointed out that *Rent-a-Girlfriend* has now exceeded 42 volumes – surpassing the entire run of *Dragon Ball* – creator Miyajima jokingly explained that the story simply grew organically. He said the characters developed a life of their own, and the series continued as a natural result of their actions. This makes sense, as Miyajima appears to be a writer who lets his characters drive the plot, rather than forcing them into predetermined scenarios.
This approach feels like a way to stretch out the *Rent-a-Girlfriend* story unnecessarily. The series has continued for so long because the characters keep repeating the same patterns, which has frustrated fans – especially considering it’s already reached nearly 400 chapters. A genuine romantic connection hasn’t formed, and after investing so much time, viewers are understandably upset by the lack of progress.
What’s Going on With Rent-a-Girlfriend?
It’s understandable when an author cares deeply about their characters, but it becomes a problem when that seems to be a reason for the story not moving forward with significant events. The author has known his desired ending since 2023, yet the plot currently feels stagnant. Despite this, the series remains popular with its dedicated fans.
The manga *Rent-a-Girlfriend* remains incredibly popular, even after 42 volumes, and the anime will continue with a fifth season next year, regardless of any fan criticisms. Miyajima, the creator, has no reason to stop now, and can continue the story for as long as he likes, as fans are clearly invested and eager to see how it all concludes.
