You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 Announcement: Returning in July!
The long-awaited news for fans of You and I Are Polar Opposites (Seihantai na Kimi to Boku), which brought a breath of fresh air to the romantic comedy genre, has finally arrived. According to the official announcement made at the AnimeJapan 2026 event, the second season of the series will meet the audience without delay on July 5, 2026. The production, which started on January 11 and aired its first season finale with the 12th episode on March 29, is setting a rare pace in the anime world with such a quick return.
The original manga, written by Koucha Agasawa and achieving great success on the Shonen Jump+ platform, is known for its realistic and sincere approach to modern youth relationships. The story centers on the attraction of opposites between Suzuki, who is energetic and tries to fit in with her surroundings, and Tani, a quiet, honest, and reserved boy. The most appreciated aspect of the series is that it breaks the genre's usual "will they or won't they?" clichés and focuses on the characters' healthy communication and emotional maturity.
The Lapin Track studio will once again sit in the production chair for the second season, while Takayoshi Nagatomo will continue to serve as director. Famous producer tofubeats, who composed the series' music, is preparing to delight our ears once again in the new season. The work, which ranked high in prestigious awards such as the Next Manga Awards and Magademy Awards, concluded with its 8th volume in November 2024. This strengthens the possibility that the anime adaptation will cover the remaining parts of the manga and complete the story.
For fans, this quick return is a testament to the series' popularity and the producers' confidence in the project. Continuing to meet international audiences via Crunchyroll, You and I Are Polar Opposites will bring the deepening stories of both Suzuki and Tani, as well as the supporting characters, to the screen with its new episodes in July. If you are looking for a heartwarming love story free from clichés, you should definitely set your course for this series this summer.
