If you were
left wanting more school drama after that marathon of episodes, I have
excellent news for you. Right after the back-to-back airing of chapters 11 to
13 in Japan, the production committee of the anime Chitose Is in the
Ramune Bottle (Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka) confirmed
that the story doesn't stop there. It was officially announced that a second
cour is on the way and is scheduled to premiere sometime in 2026.
So that the
visual quality and narrative do not slow down, the project remains firm within
the facilities of the feel studio. The director's chair
belongs to Yuji Tokuno, whom you surely place for his brutal work
directing episodes in Oshi no Ko. To put together the scripts and
structure this school romance well, the heavy task fell into the hands of Naruhisa
Arakawa and Hiromu, while Sumie Kinoshita is
in charge of transferring the original illustrations to the animated character
design. By the way, if you're behind with the plot, the first cour is still
available in its entirety in the Crunchyroll catalog.
About
Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle
Unlike the
typical loser and ungraceful protagonist of average romantic comedies, here we
follow Saku Chitose, the absolute king of Fujishi High School in
Fukui Prefecture. The guy is literally perfect: he gets tens, he's a born
athlete and he has a social circle that anyone would envy. Basically, it
attracts all kinds of eyes through the hallways, both good and bad.
The story
really begins in the spring of his second year of school, when the teachers
assign him a rather peculiar mission: to convince a classmate who lives locked
in his room (a textbook hikikomori) to return to take classes. What
seems like a simple task ends up engulfing Saku in a web of problems,
misunderstandings, and feelings that force him out of his comfortable and
perfect comfort zone.
