What Would Season 2 Be About?
If a second season gets the green light, it would almost certainly pick up right where Season 1 left off (around Chapter 40).
Without spoiling the manga, this is where the story truly deepens. Season 1 was about Rintaro and Kaoruko finding each other and overcoming their own insecurities. Season 2 would likely focus on how their relationship is received by the other students at their rival schools. We would see their bond tested as they have to navigate the long-standing tensions between the “rough” Chidori High and the “elite” Kikyo Girls’ Academy. We would also get to spend more time with the wonderful side characters, like Rintaro’s friends, and watch them grow, too.
So, When Could We Realistically Expect It?
This is pure estimation, but we can look at the animation studio, CloverWorks, for clues.
CloverWorks is a very busy and well-respected studio. They have produced many popular shows, like My Dress-Up Darling, Bocchi the Rock!, and Wind Breaker. Their schedule is often packed.
- Sometimes, sequels are announced right as a season ends. That did not happen here.
- Sometimes, sequels take a few years. For example, there was a three-year gap between seasons of My Dress-Up Darling.
Given that CloverWorks has other major projects in the works (like a new Rascal Does Not Dream film and Bocchi the Rock! Season 2), it’s reasonable to assume they are busy.
If a second season is approved, it will still take time to produce. A hopeful, but purely speculative, estimate would be a release in late 2026 or mid-2027. We must wait for an official announcement to know for sure.
For now, we are in a holding pattern. The best thing we can do as fans is to support the official release of the manga (if it’s available in your region) and wait patiently for the good news we all hope is coming.
