Crunchyroll also announced that the highly-anticipated high-energy romantic comedy Rent-A-Girlfriend series is coming to their streaming service this summer! 

Crunchyroll describes the series as follows:

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!

Fans interested in reading the Rent-A-Girlfriend manga can find the first volume available online now through Kodansha Comics. Kodansha is also giving away five signed print editions of Rent-a-Girlfriend volume 1, with more information available here.

Both series will be available to fans exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide outside of Asia.
