Umino's works are truly beautiful. Hachimitsu to Clover was amazing and so is 3-Gatsu no Lion. I'm so glad the anime didn't mess things up and now there's even an second season announcement for this fall - I'm so happy. ;;

I was hoping we'd get to see some more manga chapters come to life since the later arcs are my favorites.

Yay! ^_____^

I'm a bit split on this. I really liked Sangatsu at first but I gradually lost interest in it over time, just as with most Shaft series in my experience. Not sure I'd really want to watch a second season if it keeps this trend up

We'll see

Fantastic news! Yet to watch the finale, but I've absolutely loved the first season of the show, minus a few shaky episodes here and there (but what series doesn't have those?). Hopefully we get to see these characters' stories expanded even more, particularly Rei and Kyouko's side of things, as that was sidelined somewhat for Shimada's excellent arc.

I guess we can expect a full adaptation like Honey and Clover when the manga will end.

I loved Honey and Clover, i will wait for the second season to end to binge it.

That's fairly high praise, comparing this series to Honey & Clover.

Plus the show did well to give a simplified explanation of how Shogi is played

Thats because NHK is backing up the anime
Most anime adaptations from NHK easily gets new seasons (See Kyoukai no Rinne, Bakuman, Kingdom, Major and more. https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/111/NHK )
With their track record, wouldnt be surprised we get a complete adaptation. (which is amazing personally !)

This is great news! Really surprising, actually--I heard the show wasn't selling very well over in Japan, so I thought there was no chance of a second season. Being stuck with the read-the-manga ending of the first season would have been hard to take. All in all, I'm looking forward to this one so much!
And what if all love is an act of bravery?

Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?

It's great to read that bakuman was on NHK because ... a second season of 3-gatsu won't be enough. I already started to pray for shaft to do the third season. If what you say is true and that NHK are the ones who decide then like bakuman we might get the third season ... which should be OBLIGATORY knowing what happens beyond the 100th chapters of this amazing manga.

Soooo now, ... third season please!

Bakuman,Major,3gatsu no lion are mainstream titles and those mainstream titles almost always get "multi seasons" or "long-running series regardless NHK or not.NHK just tend to stick with mainstream titles.

You cannot find any one season(12-24) anime except sakamoto desuga above 500k selling Manga or LN list.

You really didn't look all that much at that list, did you?

Orange only has one season, so does Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. Heck, even NGE.

Sorry, I overlooked them.
My point is that for mainstream source material with enough length, they almost always get multi seasons or long running anime adaptation.

Among 25 series only 1 series (Gekkan shoujo nozakikun) has not gotten second season or long-running adaptation yet.

I excluded Orange,Sakamoto desuga,EVA here because Orange and Sakamoto desuga adapted whole manga series so it is impossible to get a sequel and EVA is original anime so manga is not a source material in the first place.

This also apply LN series too.
LN series that got 400k circulation copies per volume almost always get multi season.Slayers, Haruhi,SAO,Fullmetal panic,Oreimo,Durararara,LOGH,Toaru series all get multi season or long running anime adaptation.
