Wotakoi Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere?

Wotakoi season 1, consisting of eleven episodes, released on April 13, 2018 and it ran till June 22 of the same year. A bit less than a year later, on original video animation (OVA) special episode, titled Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: Youth, was released on March 29, 2019, much to the delight of fans.

However, in the time that has elapsed since Season 1 finished airing, A-1 Pictures has not confirmed Season 2, and it remains to be seen whether Season 2 is made at all. That being said, there’s no reason to panic as there’s plenty of time left for a renewal to be announced. Further, the fact that new volumes of the manga series is still being published increases the chance of a second season materializing. Our best guess is that Wotakoi season 2 release date could fall sometime in 2020 or 2021. We’re keeping our ears open for news on Season 2 of the show and we’ll update this section as soon as we hear more.

Wotakoi Plot:

As the name of the show suggests, Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku is a show which revolves around otakus falling in love. For those unaware, otakus typically refer to people who are shut-ins owing to their obsession with pop culture, so much so that they have a nearly non-existent social life. The show focuses on the relationship between Narumi Momose and Hirotaka Nifuji, both of whom are otakus in their own right.

Narumi is shown to be a petite, attractive, and energetic young woman who has a secret obsession over all things manga or anime-related, and has a particular fascination towards the male-male romance genre. Being an otaku, or a fujoshi to be more specific, Narumi does not have great social skills and her awkwardness and weird interests leads her boyfriend to break up with her. Dejected and heartbroken, Narumi also quits her job and joins another company, where she is reunited with her childhood friend Hirotaka Nifuji. Hirotaka is not much different from Narumi, except for the fact that he is an otaku who obsesses over video games.

Although Narumi tries to hide her fujoshi lifestyle from Hirotaka, the latter sees through her pretence when they go out for drinks after work. During the drinking session,Hirotaka advises Narumi to date someone who understands her and is okay with her being a fujoshi. While Narumi is taken by surprise at the unsolicited piece of advice, Hirotaka clears her confusion by telling her that they ought to date. Further, Hirotaka makes a solemn promise to Narumi to be by her side at all times and help her farm rare items in video games like Monster Hunter. Delighted at Hirotaka’s proposal, Narumi readily accepts, and thus the two begin dating. Over the course of the show, the two grow closer, but owing to their awkwardness, Narumi and Hirotaka have a problem maintaining a serious relationship.
