  • The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Release In 2025!

    Following the cliffhanger of The Apothecary Diaries’ pilot seasons, fans couldn’t wait to see their favorite protagonist back on screen. Guess what? Crunchyroll has already dropped the much-needed update on The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 release date. That’s right! Avid fans don’t have to wait long to see Maomao and Jinshi back to rock their screen with their twisted mysteries and challenging storyline. However, it remains unclear how Maomao will deal with the greatest-ever discovery of the previous season’s finale. Will things turn dark in her life? Let’s find out!

    Based on a Japanese light novel by Natsu Hyuga, illustrated by Touko Shino, The Apothecary Diaries is set in a fictional country during the Tang Dynasty. It focuses on a young girl, Maomao, who was sold to the Imperial Palace as a servant. However, with her knowledge of apothecary, she managed to solve the greatest mystery behind the emperor’s children and concubines’ critical illness. This soon made her the center of attention, grabbing the attention of an influential eunuch who later recruited Maomao to solve the royal court’s mysteries.

    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Is Officially Renewed!

    Just after the first season of The Apothecary Diaries concluded, fans were delighted with a pleasant surprise. The anime’s official X, formerly known as Twitter, account confirmed The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 is happening. The social media account shared an announcement teaser trailer along with a key visual featuring the main characters, Maomao and Jinshi.  This quickly left the fans on their toes. That’s because they had been waiting for the official announcement as soon as the first season wrapped up.

    Well, it’s a no-brainer that the series is fantastic. Its first season has broken all the records, becoming one of the most-watched animes so far. Further, its popularity has boosted one episode after another. The Apothecary Diaries garnered a solid 8.6 stars on IMDb and 8.9 on MyAnimeList. Thus, there’s no denying why the studio house has decided to return with another season. In addition, the light novel’s illustrator Touko Shino shared a celebratory illustration. The illustration featured Jinshi, Maomao, a cat, and two other characters.

    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2: Production Status

    Following the second season’s renewal, the fans were delighted with another surprising news. The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 underwent production as soon as the series was announced. It not only left the fans on their toes but also gave them another reason to celebrate. The anime is just a beauty of art, and it has been proven in every episode. However, some remained confused as the staff decided to announce the production status just after the series’ conclusion instead of announcing it at Anime Japan 2024, which was held in the same week.

    Despite this, fans are excited to see their favorite series returning on their series. Production typically takes a year or two to conclude animation. However, with The Apothecary Diaries, things are different. The first season was announced in February 2023 and was later aired in October 2023. That means the production took only six to seven months to wrap up. Considering this, we can expect that the anime production has already reached its halfway point. However, the studio house has recently revealed that the production might take more time to conclude, considering The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 release date.

    Who Will Produce The Series?

    The first season was produced by Toho Animation Studio and OLM, a Japanese animation studio founded in 1990. OLM was founded by former Studio Gallop and OB Planning employees. Since the studio house was established, it has created several A-list animes, films, and other works. The studio house is famous for producing the Pokemon anime series. It has also produced Berserk, To Heart, Dragon Collection, Beyblade Burst, Komi Can’t Communicate, Summer Time Rendering, and Dungeon People.

    The studio house is currently busy with other projects, such as Let’s Play, Dungeon People, I Parry Everything: What Do You Mean I’m the Strongest?, Himitsu no AiPri, and Tonbo! However, despite its busy schedule, the studio house will return to animate The Apothecary Diaries Season 2. In addition to the studio, Norihiro Naganuma will return as director and scriptwriter. Akinori Fudesaka will return as the assistant director, and Yukiko Nakatani will be the character designer. Alisa Okehazama, Kevin Penkin, and Satoru Kosaki will compose the music.

    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2: What To Expect Next?

    The first season’s finale was a rollercoaster ride for Maomao and Jinshi. Maomao learned about her biological father, Lakan, who tried his best to win her affection. However, every attempt he made went in vain, creating problems between him and Maomao. On the other hand, she found herself dealing with another mystery involving his father. He ran away with one of the courtesans, creating panic in the Imperial Palace. While Maomao knew Lakan was behind all the problems, she decided to keep mum. However, Lakan and the courtesan developed a sentimental moment during their time on the run.

    At the end of the finale, Jinshi returned to Maomao with another case, which will be explored in The Apothecary Diaries Season 2. As Jinshi requested, Maomao must assist with Consort Gyokuyou’s pregnancy. She should make sure that the consort remains safe during the entire process. Since the situation relates to an imperial consort being pregnant, things should remain in secrecy. That’s because maneuvering and backstabbing are common in the rare palace. While Maomao deals with the pregnancy drama, Jinshi finds himself in another challenging situation.

    According to the light novel’s official synopsis, Jinshi will find himself in a tough situation when a pair of visiting ambassadors make a strange request. Despite his attempts, things won’t work, according to Jinshi, creating more tension between him and the ambassadors. Later, he will be invited to a faraway place for an important gathering. However, things don’t look great here. It seems like Jinshi will find himself in a dangerous situation. This time, Maomao won’t be there to help him as she will be busy dealing with the consort matter, and threats lurk around every corner.

    Is There Enough Source Material?

    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 latest news
    Crunchyroll

    The anime is an adaptation of a light novel series written by Natsu Hyuga and illustrated by Touko Shino. It started serializing in Shufunotomo in August 2014 and is currently ongoing. As of March 2024, the LN has a total of 15 volumes. So far, TV anime has only covered the first two volumes of the light novel, suggesting 13 more volumes are left to be explored. Considering this, ample source material is left to explore in The Apothecary Diaries Season 2. Since the LN is ongoing, we expect that The Apothecary Diaries can lead to more than two seasons.

    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2: Cast Details

    The second season of The Apothecary Diaries has already been announced. So, we can expect the entire core characters will return. These include:

    • Maomao – Aoi Yuki (Japanese), Emi Lo (English)
    • Jinshi – Takeo Otsuka (Japanese), Kaiji Tang (English)
    • Gyokuyo – Atsumi Tanezaki (Japanese), Molly Zhang (English)

    • Guen – Mitsuaki Kanuka (Japanese), Jim Foronda (English)

    Official Trailer!

    During the Crunchyroll industry panel at Anime Expo 2024, the streaming platform surprised its fans with a brilliant announcement. The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 dropped its first trailer, which is only a minute long. That features Maomao and Jinshi in grave danger. Things have turned dramatic for the protagonist as another mystery surfaces, leaving the imperial palace on the verge of breaking. The teaser trailer also hints at many characters who might be involved in the looming threat.

    As the trailer proceeds, Maomao says, “If my predictions are correct, this is a plan that was concocted over a long period of time.” While nothing is known about The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, it shows something related to a murder mystery with someone influential in the Imperial Palace. Further, the teaser trailer hints that the murder mystery is surrounding a rare flower, which might be poisonous, and a key evidence of this mystery. Can Maomao deal with it? Only time will tell.

    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2: Release Date

    While the anime was announced back in March 2024, Crunchyroll confirmed that season 2 would return earlier than possible. On July 6, Crunchyroll announced at Anime Expo 2024 that The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 would be released in 2025, although the streaming network hasn’t yet revealed an official release date. Considering the series only takes eight to nine months to wrap up production, we can expect that it will return in the first half of 2025. In addition, the streaming platform confirmed that when the second season returns in 2025, it will be available to stream on Crunchyroll. This is all for now. The Anime Daily will keep you updated.

  • Made In Abyss Season 3 Will Not Return This Year, Here’s Why

    Following a disturbing second season of Made In Abyss, the anime enthusiasts were left heartbroken after saying goodbye to humanity. However, as the series protagonist Riko and her group head to explore the next layer of the Abyss, fans couldn’t wait to see what happens next in Made In Abyss Season 3. Will it bring plenty of trouble down the road? Speculation has been running wild, and many believe the next run will bring more suffering. But it’s been a couple of years since the second season wrapped up. So, the question arises: Will there be Season 3 of Made In Abyss? Let’s find out!

    Based on a Japanese manga series, Made In Abyss features the mystery surrounding the giant hole descending deep into the earth. While this Abyss holds greater mystery and challenges, Riko, an orphaned girl, decides to explore all the layers. She has heard stories from the White Whistles, the legendary Cave Raiders who had returned from the lowest regions of the Abyss. Among them was Riko’s mother, Lyza, who was presumed dead after she reached the “last descent” of the Abyss. However, the big question arises: Can Riko return? Especially since the Abyss bears a dangerous curse known as “the Curse of the Abyss.”

    Made In Abyss Season 3 Is Officially Renewed!

    Since Made In Abyss Season 2 concluded in September 2022, fans have been patiently waiting for the sequel of their favorite anime series. There’s no denying that the anime was a blockbuster hit as soon as it hit the screen. Interestingly, anime enthusiasts don’t have to wait that long now. Following the conclusion of the sophomore run, the production team announced that Made In Abyss Season 3 was happening. That’s right! The third season is on the cards. In a special event in Japan on January 15, 2023, the anime staff revealed the plans for the third season.

    It confirmed that the third season, Golden City of Scorching Sun, had been greenlit. This has already sparked excitement among series fans. It’s a no-brainer why the production house has renewed the anime for another season. The anime was awarded Anime of the Year and Best Score at the 2nd Crunchyroll Anime Awards just after its debut, and the first season also won the 25th Spanish Manga Barcelona award in the Best Anime category. Meanwhile, the second season received nominations in several categories in the 7th Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

    But Is There Enough Source Material?

    While the anime received another season, fans are concerned about whether enough source material is left to be covered. Made In Abyss is an adaptation of the manga series written and illustrated by Akihiko Tsukushi. Although the series has been ongoing in Takeshobo’s Web Comic Gamma since 2012, it has 66 chapters collected in 12 tankobon volumes. The Volume 12 was published in Japan on July 31, 2023. It’s been a year since the manga is on hiatus. Thus, it remains unclear whether there is ample source material.

    That is because, so far, the anime has covered up to Chapter 61. Since a total of 66 chapters are available at this moment, it doesn’t seem like there is enough source material. Made In Abyss Season 3 can only cover Chapters 61-66. That means the anime can return with only three episodes. The shortening of source material might be the main reason behind the delay in production. So fans have to wait until the mangaka returns with another volume.

    Made In Abyss Season 3: Production Status

    Just after the production committee announced that the anime is available for the third season, it confirmed that Made In Abyss Season 3 is in production. Although this is good news, the series won’t undergo production, at least now. As we have mentioned before, the source material isn’t sufficient. The lack of source material can create problems in the production process. That’s because the studio needs at least twenty or twenty-nine chapters to produce a full-fledged season.

    Made In Abyss Season 3
    Crunchyroll

    Typically, Made in Abyss drops 12 episodes per season. The second season, Made in Abyss: The Golden City of Scorching Sun, was adapted from chapters 39-60, covering a total of 21 chapters. Meanwhile, the pilot season adapted up to 26 chapters. That’s not all! Made In Abyss returned with a feature film titled Made In Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, which covered chapters 26-38. Thus, considering this, there is a lack of source material to return with Made In Abyss Season 3 production. But we expect that the problem will be resolved soon.

    Will Kinema Citrus Return?

    Since Made In Abyss was announced, Kinema Citrus has been the sole production company behind the series. The Japanese animation studio house was founded in March 2008, and since then, it has dropped several stellar animes, films, and OVAs. Some of its exceptional works include The Rising of the Shield Hero, Black Bullet, and Barakamon. While the series has returned with the first two seasons of Made In Abyss, it will likely return for Made In Abyss Season 3.

    However, the production won’t start sooner. As we have mentioned, there isn’t enough source material. Further, the studio house behind the anime typically animates two animes yearly. It’s currently working on Cardfight!! Vanguard Divine Z and The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3. So, considering this, we don’t think that Kinema Citrus will soon start working on Made In Abyss Season 3.

    Crunchyroll

    If the studio house returns, then it’s safe to say that the staff members will also return. Masayuki Kojima will return to the directing seat, Hideyuki Kurata will return as the scriptwriter, and Kazuchika Kise will return as the character designer. Meanwhile, Australian artist Kevin Penkin will join the Made In Abyss Season 3 team as the music composer.

    Made In Abyss Season 3: What To Expect Next?

    The second season was a rollercoaster ride for the characters as well as the fans. Riko and her friends faced several challenges before reaching the sixth layer of the Abyss. It was undoubtedly an emotional moment between the characters as they bonded over their fair share of struggle. While the previous season highlighted the strong bond between the characters, it also hinted that more challenges were aligned on their way. Made In Abyss Season 3 will also bring new characters on the stage.

    Now that Riko, Reg, and the rest of the friend circle are heading to enter the next layer of the Abyss, they will face more threats. Meanwhile, they’ll make new friends as they struggle to deal with the looming challenges. The anime has already been covered until Chapter 61, so we expect Made In Abyss Season 3 to explore from Chapter 62. It will focus on some poignant and intriguing elements while taking its fans to the world of Abyss.

    Riko and Reg will meet a new character whose storyline will leave them questioning the sanity of nature. It will also bring them closer as they learn more about the nature of the Abyss and how things can work. Meanwhile, fans can expect some emotional moments between Riko and other characters as the group explores the mystery surrounding the Abyss.

    Made In Abyss Season 3: Cast Details

    Since the anime will return in the third season, we expect the core characters to return. With them, the industry’s top-notch voice artists will also return. These include:

    • Riko – Miyu Tomita (Japanese), Brittany Lauda (English)
    • Reg – Mariya Ise (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)
    • Nanachi – Shiori Izawa (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)
    • Faputa – Misaki Kuno (Japanese), Cat Thomas (English)

    However, it remains unclear whether the characters of Belchero Orphanage, Cave Raiders, Ido Front, and Sages of Ganja will return. But if they return for Made In Abyss Season 3, we can expect some prominent faces to make it to the sequel. These include:

    • Mitty – Eri Kitamura (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)
    • Wazukyan – Hiroaki Hirata (Japanese), Brandon Hearnsberger (English)
    • Belaf – Mitsuki Saiga (Japanese), Ry McKeand (English)
    • Vueloeluko – Yuka Terasaki (Japanese), Kristen McGuire (English)
    • Prushka – Inori Minase (Japanese), Avery Smithhart (English)
    • Meinya – Natsuko Hara (Japanese), Juliet Simmons (English)

    Is Made In Abyss Worth Watching?

    Made In Abyss is among the best-written anime around the globe. Undoubtedly, its plot is original and well-written, as nothing has been seen like this anime before. Further, the wonderfully layered and intriguing narrative has also helped the anime to reach a perfect status. The unique part of the anime is that each character has a diverse background, which helps them deal with the “Curse of the Abyss.” While many call it a fantastic series, the anime has surprised its fans over the years, making it more intriguing for the audience.

    Made In Abyss Season 3: Release Date

    Kinema Citrus has yet to announce the Made In Abyss Season 3 release date. It’s been a year since the third season was announced. However, neither the production house nor Crunchyroll has announced the release date of Season 3. Since the series has yet to undergo production, which takes at least 12 to 18 months to conclude, we expect the series to take longer to return. It might return in the fall of 2025 if the manga returns with another volume this year. If not, then the chances are high that the series will receive more delay. This is all for now. Stay with The Anime Daily for more such updates.

An obstetrician-gynecologist, Gorou Amamiya, was tasked to help his favorite female idol, Ai Hoshino, deliver her baby. Instead, he was killed by a crazy fan and later reincarnated as Ai’s child with his previous life’s memory. He later figured out that his twin sister was his patient who died the same day. While things seemed dramatic, Aqua deduced that the murderer had kidnapped Ai’s partner, who had also killed his mom. So, to give justice to Ai and her lover, Aqua embarked on a mission to unearth the truth and save his dad.

On IMDb, it received a solid 8.4 stars out of 10, while on MyAnimeList, it garnered 8.6 stars. While Tensei anime (where characters are reborn or reincarnated) doesn’t usually receive such ratings, it broke all the records.

    Following the first season’s cliffhanger in June 2023, fans eagerly awaited the official announcement about Oshi No Ko Season 2.

But will they get selected?

    Well, the powerful opening theme, “Fatale” by GEMN, hints that the next season will be more of a blast, where Aqua and Ruby will focus more on their latest project than on finding the murderer. So, this will definitely be epic. The latest poster also shows the cast’s full costume. So, don’t miss it. 

    Opening Theme Song Is Out

    The official website of Oshi No Ko dropped a new 30-second commercial, quickly leaving the fans in a frenzy. Well, there’s no denying that the fans are curiously waiting for the series’ return. On June 8, 2024, Oshi No Ko TV anime’s official website shared the opening theme song of the second season, “Fatale,” by GEMN. While the song is just mesmerizing, the official website has yet to announce the singer’s name.

    Oshi No Ko Season 2: Cast Details 

    Oshi No Ko’s creative team will return for its sophomore run. That means the studio Doga Kobo will return to produce the series. Daisuke Hiramaki will direct the series, with One Piece script writer Jin Tanaka joining the board along with Takuro Iga, who will compose the music for the series. The original cast will return for the second run, bringing back Megumi Han as Kana Arima (who will play Tsurugi) and Manaka Iwami as Akane Kurokawa (who will play Sayahime).

The sophomore run will focus on the ‘2.5D Stage Play.’ The teaser hints that the story will be a blend of mystery, drama, and ambition as it follows protagonists Aqua, Kana, Akane, and others who are set to prepare for the Tokyo Blade stage play. 

    A voice shares that this time, the actors are too good. They have better-acting knowledge and get immersed in their roles, hinting at the huge success of the Tokyo Blade play. Soon, the narration shifts to Akane, who sets to play Himekawa. While he gracefully embarks on his journey, the other characters don’t want to lose, either, creating an intense battle among the characters.

  • One Punch Man Season 3: Production Started? Likely To Release In 2024!

    Looking for the latest updates on One Punch Man Season 3? Well, you have come to the right place! A year has passed since the official announcement of the new season was dropped, and there seems to be a black hole of updates from the latest season right now. But behind the scenes, a lot of hassle continues in the production studios. JC Staff sure has tough work to handle. And after the blunders of season 2, there is no room for any more mistakes. So, how soon can we expect to get the new season? Keep reading further to know more about this story!

    For the background of the story, OPM is an original Web Novel that first came out in 2009. Written by ONE, this story is one of the most well-known banners of recent times. After the success of the novel, it was the manga by Jump that stole the limelight from other Shonen posters. Later, the anime by Madhouse launched in 2015 and was an instant hit. But after this, there is a burden on the shoulders of the studio to bring an interesting new season.

    One Punch Man Season 3: Renewal Status

    One Punch Man Season 3 has been renewed twice now. But for some reason, the production or other factors keep delaying the season. For a brief context, even the second season was renewed in 2016 but was released in 2019. For the next one, the renewal announcement took place in August 2022. Even the last episode of Season 2 was quick to mention that the new season was to come back very soon. However, ‘soon’ is not the term that most fans trust anymore.

    All in all, Season 3 of OPM has been renewed, and fans are desperately waiting for a trailer right now. Other than the first poster, there was no other update from any of the creators. While Murata keeps in constant touch with the creators, the same cannot be said for the anime team. As a result of this, there still is a blind spot when it comes to production.

    Production Announcement!

    The entire production story of One Punch Man has been a mess since the beginning. The story draws back to 2015, when the first season was released under the banner of Madhouse. With the extensive fight sequences and character designs of the show, this company was taking up tough work. Even the final product was something that received praise and attention from fans and critics alike. Quickly getting a new season renewal in September 2016 wasn’t a surprise, and everyone was happy with the picture so far.

    However, a year later, the makers announced that both the director and production company were to be switched for the new season. And that was when everything shifted to JC Staff. Sources suggest that this was in light of the creative differences between the teams. With this, the second season finally got a space for a release date in 2019. But no clique of fans was happy with the animation of Season 2.

    Sadly, in the list of some of the worst animated shows, the second season of One Punch Man stands tall. There have been many reasons why this happened. And so, it took the makers a lot of time to recover from this issue. Now, as we write, One Punch Man Season 3 seems to be in production already. Fans continue to discuss the extensive nature of the content ahead. The amount of design and animation that Season 3 requires is a bar for them to reach.

    One Punch Man Season 3: Source Material Analysis!

    Right now, more than the web novel, it is the online manga that fans continue to read each month. The current chapters of the text have been making waves all over the internet. Looking back, OPM is an original webcomic manga by ONE that came out in 2009. After that, Jump remade the same story in the form of a manga.

    One Punch Man Season 3: What To Expect From Next Season?

    Since it has been a very long time, here is a recap of the events that have taken place so far. OPM is about the strongest protagonist in the world, named Saitama. The man has become so powerful in the world that it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to cope with the fact that no one was there to pose an even stronger challenge. As a result of this, he is bored and exhausted in life. In a bid to find something interesting to do, Saitama roams from place to place.

    Well, two seasons have passed, introducing new characters and newer villains, only to see that none of them are competent enough to fight the Caped Baldy. It was only in the latter episodes of the second season that we see a much more serious side of the story. The Monsters Association Arc brings an interesting twist to the story. The last battle between Garou and Bang was at the end of Season 2. And here begins the story of Bomb, who was here interfering in the fight.

    For some parts of One Punch Man Season 3, there would not be any scene of Saitama or any of his friends. Right now, the monsters will be the main focus of the story. The ranking and battles of these creatures will make up for the story of Season 3. And when Saitama enters, he will be quick to dismiss all those who think that they are the most powerful. The main leader of the Monsters Association is expected to show up by the end of this season!

    Reddit & Discussion Forums!

    More than the expected plot of the season, the fans are seen discussing the animation of One Punch Man Season 3. After creating a blunderous second season, the work on the shoulders of JC Staff is tough. Keeping up with the expectations of the fans is tough work. One user says that he has all the sympathy for the team that will be animating the latest season. The extent of hard work and creativity that Murata has put into the chapters is something that cannot be faced with injustice.

    And there is no scope for any more mistakes to come in the future. Another user mentions that the entire next season will be filled up with fight scenes and action sequences. The only thing they fear is the change of studio at the last minute. Their concerns are evident and justifiable to some extent. However, there still is a chance that this season will be delayed ahead of time.

But the good part is the studio has already renewed the anime for the next season way before the event. In fact, the production team also shared the illustration confirming the sequel announcement.

    Production News & Updates

    It is Studio Doga Kobo that is behind the animation and production of the latest season. As compared to its contemporaries, this is a very new company in the business. And there have been many shows that came and went from the studio’s floors. After beginning operations in 2007, some of the hit shows from the palette of shows include New Game and Love Lab. One notable point here is the fact that the studio has been very consistent with the kind of shows that it produces.

    Oshi No Ko Season 2: Reception & Accolades

    A quick glimpse at the sales numbers of the show will tell us that Oshi No Ko’s popularity is larger than we know. As of April 2021, the manga was one million copies in circulation. In addition, the number rose to an exponential figure by May 2023. This reached a high number of 8 million copies during this time. As for the anime, the current reception and reach of the show seem to be breaking the ceiling. As per Hidive, the anime was titled to be one of the most successful premieres in the streaming service history.

    Now, this is a claim that is bold and sharp. In addition to this, the series also got the rank of number five in AnimeJapan’s ‘Most Wanted Anime Adaptation.’ Speaking of the official numbers of the show, the ratings on all the platforms seem to be decent as of now. All episodes are ranking above 8 stars in many of the slates.

    Is There Enough Source Material?

    As of writing, there are a total of 124 chapters in the manga. For a frame of reference, the Oshi No Ko manga started in April 2020 under the skillful hands of Aka Akasaka. The artist is known for some of the most famous works of recent times, i.e., Kaguya Sama Love is War. Yen Press’ Young Jump Comics has been publishing the regular chapters of the story since then. So far, there are eleven volumes of the text. And with the anime using 7-8 chapters per episode, there might not be enough material in the coming time.

    But the adoption pace and extent seem to be fine right now. With the use of six average chapters in an episode, the season will be done with the content on the 80th chapter. Even after this, there would be more than enough content left for a new season of 12 episodes. And since the manga is a weekly one, there would be enough material when the season is ready for production.

    What Will Happen In Season 2?

    The overall story of Oshi No Ko is about a young gynecologist and his patient in his first life. However, we then see that this is not a slice-of-life or a coming-of-age story. Instead, we find that a reincarnation story is bound to take place soon. The famous pop star of their generation, Ai, was pregnant at the time when they were around to face a tragic death. Thus, the two of them are reborn as twins to this pop star. Being born and brought up in the entertainment industry, the two have completely different goals in their new life.

    The two of them are now working on the mission to find out who their real father is. Another question is about the killer of their mother. Entering the entertainment world is something that they had not expected to be this difficult. And now that they are in it, they find mysterious happenings everywhere around him. While the first season has a cliffhanger ending, it remains difficult to locate the point where the new story will open with ‘The Main Story’ Arc of the show.

    In this seventh story arc, the star of the act will be Ruby Hoshino. She had been wanting to become a part of the entertainment industry for the longest time. However, the realities of this industry are something that pulls her away from the art of acting.

    Oshi No Ko Season 2: Release Date

    With an announcement as such, the chances of getting season 2’s release date increase in all ways. Right now, the fans will be delighted to know that the new season might be in the development phase. Oshi No Ko Season 2 can get a final release date started in the Fall 2024 slate, given the time it takes to animate and produce a season as long. In any case, 2024 is the year when the sequel can come out. This section will be updated as soon as there is any more detail on this. Your only job is to keep an eye on this space for all the updates. Thus, stay tuned to The Anime Daily.
