Crunchyroll is adding the second season of Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms to its streaming lineup in January 2027. The license covers Europe as well, and thus the German-speaking market. The streaming service has not yet announced a specific day for the simulcast.

The broadcast on Japanese television for January 2027 has been known since July. What is new is the international streaming confirmation from November 11. As Final Weapon reports, citing Crunchyroll, the announced distribution territory includes, besides Europe, North and South America, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and the CIS states. Anime2You also reports a broadcast in the Japanese original version with German subtitles.

Production and Plot of the Continuation

The second season is once again being produced at the animation studio SynergySP. Yoshiaki Okumura returns as director, while Yoriko Tomita takes over series composition from Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. Mayumi Watanabe is responsible for character design, and Akiyuki Tateyama again composes the music. These production details are also published on the series' official website.

Ryota Iwasaki again voices Medaka Kuroiwa, and Yu Serizawa again takes on Mona Kawai. The source is the romantic comedy by Ran Kuze, published in Weekly Shonen Magazine since 2021. In it, Mona, who is used to winning over all her classmates, tries to gain the attention of the seemingly indifferent Medaka. His upbringing at the temple and its rules, however, stand in the way of a romance.

The official teaser PV, already released in May, focuses on Mona's feelings and the further developments between the characters:
