Is There a Global Release Date for the Rent a Girlfriend Game?

There aren’t any announcements of a global release date yet for the Rent a Girlfriend – The Horizon and Her Swimsuit title. I’m hoping global fans get the chance to purchase the special edition, which includes a set of 5 CDs, with one of them featuring the game’s OST.

Japanese pre-orders also feature illustrations of one of 5 girls. The character you get is completely random, much like how K-pop CDs work with photocards.

For global fans, there isn’t any information regarding an English release. While the game may get an English dub, it’s more likely to be translated into English and hopefully other languages too!

What’s the Game About?

In its most simplified form, the game is a visual novel which covers a brand-new story. All of the main characters are here, as well as the clumsy yet charming protagonist, Kazuya. The original voice actors voice all of the girls too!

Story-wise, Kazuya has a summer job in Enoshima, with Ruka, Sumi, Chizuru, Mini, and Mami joining him for a little holiday. Set in the Kanagawa Prefecture, this visual novel is basically a long beach episode in the form of a game. It wouldn’t be a romantic slice of life otherwise, right?

What is Rent a Girlfriend?

If you have absolutely no idea what the Rent a Girlfriend series is even about, I’ll summarise it quickly. Kazuya decides to dabble in rental girlfriends after he gets broken up with by his ex, Mami.

What he doesn’t realise, is that he’s about to meet a girl who’s going to change his life forever. Her name is Chizuru.
