| Many people are asking for season 2 of Akatsuki no Yona but this was the reply given by one of the animators involved Quick translation: I'm sorry, I can't reply to each of you individually, but I think whether or not the second season of the anime will be made depends more on the support of the fans than on anime staff like me. Anime can't move on to the next season unless it sells well as an anime. Link to the tweet: https://x.com/cindy560a/status/1237325265044271104 The manga seems to be doing well and is currently in its final arc so I hope some other studio eventually picks it up |

Legolas301 said: So the manga hasn't ended yet? Nop, it's still ongoing. We are currently officially in the Final Arc tho, and the story gave that feeling of being almost done for years, now. Legolas301 said: Why does the anime have so few fans? That's an Shoujo from 10 years ago, with only a single Season. Naturally, its popularity declined over the years, but it was extremely popular back then. Legolas301 said: If the manga ends, I'd love to watch a 2nd season or if it does, a reboot As a Manga gets closer to its end, the chances of a continuation of adaptations seriously diminish, as there is no reasons for the publisher to product an Anime, which is basically only an ads for them. If they wanted to do a 2nd Season, they would have done it around 2016/17, when it was not too long after the 1st Season to maintain its popularity, but not too close to not have enough material to adapt and bait new readers, while also having margin to bank on new viewers. |

Legolas301 said: When were the chapters released, e.g. weekly? It's bi-weekly (twice a month), but the Author took a lot of breaks lately, so it's often monthly. Legolas301 said: Do shoujo anime always only produce 1 season, or is it similar to shounen? Nah, it's similar to Shonen, but as everything depends on the popularity of the source material, and how much money can the producers (especially the publisher) can get, Shoujo do often gets only 1 Season, if they ever get adapted, that is. Shoujo tends to be less popular than Shonen. That's especially the case if we talk about Shonen Jump's titles, which are absolutely crazy popular, and thus often gets multiple Seasons adaptations. Legolas301 said: Other anime such as Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni got a 2nd season after 6 years and others after e.g. 10 years. So it depends on the popularity of the manga/LN and anime fans? Basically, yeah. The publishers are the ones who choose if a work can get an adaptation. They most generally are the ones pushing for it, as it's basically a giant ads for them, so they can use it to boosts the sales of all Volumes (new/upcoming for old fans, old ones and potentially more for new fans). However, if the work is in Hiatus, or close to be/already completed, they won't win much anymore, as the majority of their (actual and potential future) sales are already done. There is also cases where it's a producer (Netflix, Aniplex, Crunchyroll, ...), or even sometimes a specific Animation director, who are interested in working on a certain title, because they think they can bank on it, and try to convince the publishers and other producers to let them do it. For your example of Isekai wa Smartphone, it's a Light Novel started in 2015 and still ongoing, with currently 30 Volumes (the Author released around 4 Volumes per year, which is huge). It was popular, and got a great boost of sales and popularity after the 1st Season, and continued like that for years. The Author greatly slowed down his releases around 2021 tho, doing 2 Volumes per year. The sales started to decline a lot, so the publisher probably wished to give it another boost (which doesn't seems to work, the sales of the latest Volume are at their lowest i think, so i doubt there'll be a 3rd Season). Other cases are generally in the same scenario. |
