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.
Returning Cast and Characters
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
Aoi Yuki as Mami Nanami
Nao Toyama as Ruka Sarashina
Yu Serizawa as Mini Yaemori
Rie Takahashi as Sumi Sakurasawa
These characters will navigate the complexities of the Hawaii Trip Arc, with new interactions and potential character growth teased in promotional visuals. No new characters have been officially announced, but the arc may introduce additional figures from the manga.

‘Miss Subway NYC' Takes Us Back to Lady Pink's New York
Summary London'sD'Stassi Artis currently hostingMiss Subway NYC,a landmark solo exhibition by New York graffiti legendLady Pink. Staged in the heart of Shoreditch, the artist transforms the gallery into a fully tagged subway station, bringing the raw energy of the 1980s underground across the pond. Born in Ecuador and raised in Queens, the artist began tagging trains at 15. By 17, she was featured in the featured in the landmark 1981New York/ New Waveexhibition at MoMA PS1 situated amongst the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Even as a teenager, she made herself clear: Lady Pink was a force to be reckoned with. More than a tribute to 1980s graffiti culture, her work serves as a love letter to the subway's many characters – the saxophonists, the elderly, the homeless – the New Yorkers that called the subway their home. 'Those were the people you made it for,' she said. 'The straphangers.' Running through late September, the exhibition features original works and new commissions, alongside archival material and personal ephemera from the artist's early years. 'Lady Pink is a true icon,' say D'Stassi Art co-founders Michael Howes and Edward Sanders. 'With this immersive NYC subway experience, we want to bring audiences into Lady Pink's world and show how her legacy continues to influence the culture today.'

What to eat on a stick at the Ohio State Fair
If you want to make friends at the Ohio State Fair, visit New Food Avenue and order watermelon on a stick. Dining the news: I set out to find the fair's most unusually good skewered food and this $10 fruit lollipop from A&M Concessions earned the title. Heads turned and strangers struck up conversation as I walked the midway. Not surprising — it's massive. The unwieldy salty-sweet slice doused in chamoy sauce and Tajín seasoning is perfectly refreshing on a hot day. Yes, but: Don't forget the napkins. And, whatever you do, do not tilt the paper tray below it to take a bite. I did, and spent the rest of the day looking like I was covered in blood after bright-red chamoy splattered all over my clothes. (Worth it, though.) Other honorable mentions: 🍝 Fried meatballs and mozzarella: My second-favorite, covered in marinara. ($10, De Luca Family Foods) 🧀 Fried cheese: A classic twist on a corn dog. ($6, Tracey's Concessions) 🍰 Frozen cheesecake: Cool down with dessert in a hard ice cream shell. I chose cherry. ($8, Maggie's Concessions) 🐊 Fried gator: Surprisingly … normal? Pork-like texture, but a little pricey. ($14, Big G's)
