Recent English volumes have come out about every 2 months. The English edition runs about 1.6 years behind Japan. How we predict
Rent-A-Girlfriend in English so far
The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Jun 2, 2020 from Kodansha USA. In the 6.4 years since, 39 volumes have come out — one about every 2 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 2 months).
Japan is at Vol. 47 (Aug 17, 2026), so 8 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 1.4 years. The next Japanese volume, Vol. 48, is out in Japan on Nov 17, 2026.
