Second Part of Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka Anime Coming in 2026
Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka (Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle), one of the most notable romantic comedy productions of recent years, is back in the spotlight with major news that will delight fans. According to the official announcement made following the broadcast of the final episodes of the series' first part, the highly anticipated second cour of the anime will meet the audience in 2026. This announcement serves as both a relief and a source of great excitement for followers, coming after some delays in the production processes of the series' first season.
The original light novel series, written by Hiromu and illustrated by raemz, holds a very prestigious place in the anime world. The series achieved great success by placing first for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022 on Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This Light Novel Is Amazing!), one of Japan's most important guidebooks. The unconventional "popular kid" identity of the character Saku Chitose broke the genre's classic "introverted hero" trope, bringing a fresh breath of air to the series.
The anime's production is helmed by director Yuji Tokuno, who has worked on successful productions such as Oshi no Ko. Animation studio Feel is responsible for the visual quality of the series. The final episodes of the first part (episodes 11-13) had been postponed to March 2026 due to disruptions in the production schedule. With the release of these episodes, the confirmation that the next major arc of the story, the second part, will also arrive within the same year once again proves the studio's commitment to the project and the popularity of the series.
The production, which features talented names in the voice cast such as Shogo Sakata (Saku Chitose) and Manaka Iwami (Yuko Hiiragi), focuses on the complex relationships and coming-of-age stories of a group of teenagers at the top of the Fujishi High School hierarchy. In the second part, how Saku's seemingly perfect world will be shaped by new characters and challenges is a subject of curiosity. Fans are preparing to celebrate both the finale of the first season and the beginning of the new episodes throughout 2026.
