**SPOILERS BELOW**
This sequel was announced at the end of season 1 in September 2025, and originally premiered in Japanese cinemas in November 2025, then on Japanese TV at the very beginning of 2026. REMOW has also brought the series to Western fans on Youtube, as they did for the first series.
This series is basically an almost exact adaption of volume 4 of the novel series, which I reviewed here on Okazu. As such, if you didn’t enjoy the first season, there is absolutely nothing for you here. This is solely for the fans who wanted more. The animation, art, music, and voice acting haven’t changed at all in style from the original 12 episodes. Picking up where season 1 left off, we can now properly meet the final member of the harem, Koyanagi Kaho, an extroverted cosplayer with a few secrets of her own, and a jealous streak as well. There is however one very important difference between this adaption and the original novel, which ends with Renako confessing to both Mai and Ajisai and asking to date them both, but the anime ends with a screen showing a text message from Satsuki saying “Hey, you’re already dating two at once, so one more wouldn’t hurt, right?” Obvious sequel bait aside, I do respect that the show didn’t make Renako pick just one of the girls, and actually committed to the harem premise.
It’s nice to see a yuri anime get a sequel, especially when it was announced pretty much at the end of season 1. I hope the bait which was dangled in front of us is taken and we get “Season 2” of the series animated some day.
Ratings:
Art – 7
Story – 6
Characters – 7
Service – 7. Renako has now bathed with every member of the group in animated form.
Yuri – 7
Overall – 7
Satsuki‘s text message was in the novel, too, right at the end. Page 351 in the print version.
A good review. I was glad to see the yuri anime get a sequel too and I almost felt that Mai telling Ajisai in the next-to-last episode that she is afraid that Renako will hate her was *possibly* a meta-commentary on how some fans feel about her character. I know people did not like what Mai did to Renako in season 1 (um, sexual assault basically you could say), but… I do think Mai was trying to be better. It is totally in character for Renako to say she’ll date them both. Like you, I hope the bait actually means there will be a season 2 someday. After all, Mai and Ajisai clearly have feelings for each other, with Mai even saying she would date Ajisai if Renako wasn’t around. I guess I’ll have to read the light novel (and manga) now… to see what happens next. Having a poly yuri story that is this prominent, is rare (a lot of the prominent poly anime out there involve a bunch of girls around one man), so that makes this series sort of, maybe, groundbreaking in its own right, I suppose.
