We have seen plenty of romantic comedies throughout the year so far, but this anime season sees the return of a particular fan-favourite with its sophomore season. Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 2 premiered earlier this month. And with its premiere, the anime has instantly made its way to the Top 10 Most-Watched TV Shows among teenagers in Japan.
While it is no surprise that this anime has created a lot of drama and has gotten its fair share of criticism for practically being irredeemable, it is also not a surprise just how popular this harem rom-com is in Japan. The manga series has over 10 million copies in circulation in Japan, and the merchandise of the series have been selling ridiculously well ever since the premiere of the anime’s first season.
