SAY I LOVE YOU SEASON 2 RENEWAL STATUS

Say I Love you season one ran from 6th October 2012 to 30th December 2012 for 13 episodes + 1 OVA. 

As of writing, no official announcement is coming from the creators or author for the renewal of Say I Love you season 2.

Although season one ended a decade ago, it’s not beyond the realms of reality for renewal consideration. It mainly depends on the creators who look at consumer metrics such as sales, popularity, and source material.

Every studio works differently, and studio Zexcs has undoubtedly got its way of operation.

Looking at previous releases of Zexcs, it is evident the studio doesn’t do many second installments of a show; hence the chances of a second season of Say I love you look bleak at the moment.

Furthermore, Say I love you already received a live-action film in 2014, and ten special episodes are included in the Blu-ray and DVD volumes of the series. The creators cashed on the hype of the anime immediately after its release as romantic dramas aren’t popular compared to shonen or isekai animes in the long run.

Also, Crunchyroll announced on 22nd March 2022 that Say I Love you, alongside many other animes, will leave the service on 31st March 2022, thus further decreasing the popularity of the show.

As a result, coming back for a second season may not be financially viable for the creators.

Either way, if and when the show is renewed for a second season or picked up by another studio, we can presume to Say I Love you season 2 release date to be around late 2024, with a likely 13-episode run.

The series ended on a satisfying note, but according to the manga, many stories are still left to be covered. Say I Love you season 2 will most likely pick up from volume 8.

The viewers would have assumed that Megumi s’ interest in Yamato would have died down, but in reality, she is still pursuing him despite Mei s derision. 

One story which would come to light would be Daichi Kurosawa s’ unrequited feelings for his brother s’ girlfriend, i.e., Mei. 

Like with all high school drama, there is always a point wherein the characters graduate and start considering different career options. 

After traveling down different paths in their post-secondary educations, Mei and her friends finally enter the world of working adults with new challenges around every corner!

As the people around Mei face life-changing events like marriage and parenting, she reflects on her journey from a shy, asocial high schooler to who she is now.  Surrounded by so many fulfilling relationships, Mei comes to a profound realization about what’s essential in life as she moves in at the age of 25
