Those beloved scenes and lines you cherish from the manga will finally be animated! I'm excited to delve deeper into Mitsumi and her friends’ evolving emotions and challenges alongside everyone. Please look forward to it!”

Comment from Series Composer, Yoko Yonaiyama:

“Welcome back, Skip and Loafer! Season 2 is here! A lot has happened since season one concluded, and at times, I've felt overwhelmed by my limitations. However, whenever I opened the manga, Mitsumi and her friends were always there—smiling, struggling, growing, and genuinely communicating. Season 1 took us from spring to autumn, enriching relationships and emotional complexities. In season 2, I look forward to once again journeying alongside Mitsumi and friends, experiencing deep emotions and meaningful stories. Stay tuned!”
