Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 3

A crowdfunded film forces a fake couple to rehearse a real future.

Chizuru Mizuhara's rental-girlfriend gig was supposed to be a transaction — until her grandmother's declining health and a half-baked film crowdfunding scheme drag Kazuya Kinoshita into a production crew stacked with romantic landmines. There's Ruka, the "trial" girlfriend who monitors Kazuya's heartbeat like a parole officer; Mini, the chaotic neighbor who documents their lives for content; and Sumi, Chizuru's painfully shy coworker who communicates through trembling gestures. The film becomes a pressure cooker: late-night script rewrites, location scouting disasters, and the constant hum of unspoken feelings between the leads. Chizuru channels her grief into the role of a lifetime, while Kazuya realizes his "customer" mask has fused to his face. The harem mechanics haven't vanished — they've just been weaponized as emotional mirrors. Every rehearsal forces the pair to rehearse honesty they're terrified to speak aloud. By the time the camera rolls, the line between acting and living has dissolved, leaving both to wonder if the happy ending they're filming is the one they actually want.

A romantic comedy about a college student entangled with multiple women after renting a girlfriend, focusing this season on crowdfunding a film. Expect heavy fan service, emotionally messy relationships, and themes of deception and codependency framed as humor.
