Rent-a-Girlfriend season three announced

Anime series Rent-a-Girlfriend will be back for round three.

Announced on Friday, a third season of the popular show is currently in development. An announcement video can be seen below. More information about season three will be announced at a special event in March.

The news came at the conclusion of Rent-A-Girlfriend season two, which is available to stream on Crunchyroll along with season one right now.

A synopsis for the show reads:

Kinoshita Kazuya is a 20-year-old failure of a college student. He managed to kiss his girlfriend once, but was dumped after a month. "Ugh... Damn it. I never want to go through that again."

Completely spiteful, Kazuya uses a certain method to date a girl. He goes to their meeting place and suddenly hears, "You're Kazuya-kun, right?" A beautiful girl brushing her long, black hair behind her ear was there, smiling at him. Her name was Mizuhara Chizuru. Something real is born after just a single rental! A reckless rom-com filled with love and excitement is about to begin!

Rent-a-Girlfriend is based on Reiji Miyajima’s manga series of the same name. Aside from an anime, a live-action TV adaptation was released in Japan this summer starring Ryūsei Ōnishi (Muchuu-sa, Kimi ni, Rokuhodo Yotsuiro Biyori) and Hiyori Sakurada (Tokyo Ghoul, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!).
