Suggestive The Shiunji Family Children/Rent-a-Girlfriend collab illustration released ahead of TSFC premiere

Steven Reynolds April 8, 2025

With the rom-com anime The Shiunji Family Children premiering later on today in Japan, it’s not surprising we just got one last promo piece before that hits.

What is somewhat surprising, though, is that promo piece is a collaboration visual with Rent-a-Girlfriend, another anime that’s getting a new season in 2025 (Season 4 in the Summer, 2025 season).

And, of course, an anime also based on a manga from The Shiunji Family Children mangaka Reiji Miyajima — the person who also drew the collab illustration. Obviously.

RELATED: Banri Shiunji’s date visual released — first of 5 featuring all The Shiunji Family Children‘s girls

The Shiunji Family Children/Rent-a-Girlfriend collab was released on the Shiunji Family’s official X account, and features all of Reiji Miyajima’s 10 girls from the two series.

And, of course, it’s suggestive.

The account commented it was released to commemorate the two upcoming anime series.

A few minutes later, an additional comment was added telling Japanese fans a collaboration distribution event for postcards of the illustration will be held on April 19th at the AKIHABARA Gamers Main Store.

As for the manga, Yen Press publishes it in English.

The Shiunji Family Children premiere details

The anime adaptation of the manga series premieres at 22:30 today on AT-X in Japan, followed by releases on other Japanese TV stations an hour or two later.

Crunchyroll is simulcasting the anime series internationally.

Ryouki Kamitsubo (Episode Director of Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence) is directing, with Noboru Kimura (Gushing over Magical Girls) in charge of series composition, and Miki Mutou (Episode Chief Animation Director of Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie) designing the characters.

Doga Kobo (Oshi no Ko) is animating the series.

The rom-com anime’s plot looks like this:

The seven brothers and sisters of the Shiyunji family, who live in a luxurious house in Setagaya, are talented, colorful, and well-known in the community.

The eldest son, Arata, is pushed around by his five sisters, all of whom have strong personalities, but he has always cherished his family.

However, at his youngest sister’s birthday party, his father tells him a startling revelation that changes the fate of his siblings…!

The story of a forbidden romantic comedy in which family love and love between a man and a woman are intertwined!

Update – April 9th, 2025 — The sweet The Shiunji Family Children creditless opening is now out, introducing all of the family’s seven children
