Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4 is set to premiere on July 4, 2025, airing on the Animeism programming block on MBS, TBS, and 26 other affiliates. The season will be split into two cours (approximately 24–25 episodes), with a break between them. While the first cour will run from July to September 2025, the second cour is expected to air starting in January 2026, though an exact date for the second half has not been confirmed.
Plot: The Hawaii Trip Arc
Season 4 will adapt the Hawaii Trip Arc (also known as the Paradise Arc), one of the manga's most anticipated and controversial storylines. This arc, starting from Chapter 168 and likely covering up to Volume 30 or 31, follows Kazuya Kinoshita, Chizuru Ichinose, and their friends on a group vacation at Spa Resort Hawaiians, organized by Kazuya's grandmother, Nagomi Kinoshita. The trip aims to strengthen bonds among the group, which includes Kazuya, Chizuru, Mami, Ruka, Sumi, and Mini, along with Kazuya's friends and family.
Expect heightened drama as Kazuya and Chizuru struggle to maintain their pretend relationship under the scrutiny of those around them. Mami, Kazuya's ex-girlfriend, intensifies her efforts to uncover the truth, leading to some of the series' most memorable and divisive moments. While the arc is praised for its character development and emotional depth, some fans have criticized its slower pacing. However, the anime's adaptation may adjust the pacing to keep viewers engaged. The Hawaii Trip Arc promises a mix of comedy, romance, and tension, with iconic manga panels brought to life.

The main cast from previous seasons is returning to reprise their roles, ensuring continuity in the characters' voices and performances. The confirmed voice actors include:
Shun Horie as Kazuya Kinoshita
Sora Amamiya as Chizuru Ichinose

Man Excludes 'Dramatic' Girlfriend from Promotion Dinner. Now She Is 'Livid'
A man took to the internet to ask if he did the right thing by excluding his girlfriend from his celebration She told him she was upset he didn't include her, and she accused the man of "hiding her," saying he "embarrassed her" Many took his side by agreeing she should be able to celebrate his achievements without making it about herselfA man caused more drama than he intended after he intentionally didn't invite his girlfriend to his promotion dinner. In a recent Reddit post, the 35-year-old admitted that he didn't include his partner of two years in the celebration because he knew she would make it about herself. The man insisted that he "loves" his "smart" and "driven" girlfriend, but noted that she can be "dramatic," especially "when the attention isn't on her." The man explained that he was recently promoted to partner at his firm, a "huge" accomplishment he has "worked toward for almost a decade." His colleagues threw a "small" dinner for him to celebrate, but he left his 34-year-old girlfriend off the list. "Why? Because last time I got recognition at work, she spent the entire dinner talking about how she once turned down a big promotion to 'prioritize her mental health,'" he shared. "She hijacked every compliment meant for me." Due to her past behavior, he decided to attend the event "alone" and told his girlfriend it was "just coworkers." When she found a tagged photo and discovered the truth, she became "livid." She accused the man of "hiding her," saying he "embarrassed her" and that he made her feel like "a trophy I keep in the closet." When he tried to explain his reasoning, she called him "shallow and insecure." "I feel awful," he wrote. "But I also feel like I deserved a night where I didn't have to babysit someone else's ego.

Reddit users were quick to share their take on the situation, with many questioning why the man was with the woman in the first place, especially if he felt he couldn't celebrate his achievements with her. "Worked in couples counseling for years - this behavior doesn't magically improve with time or marriage," one user wrote. "You're basically telling us you can't even enjoy your own professional milestone without walking on eggshells. Think hard about that." Another commenter added, "You're at a place in your relationship where you don't feel you can be honest with her, don't trust her, and don't think she will put your interests first when it is important to do so. The fact you decided to exclude her this time tells me some part of you is already aware this relationship is over. This is not a happy place for you. I would be unhappy too. Time to end it."
