The beloved anime rom-com Skip and Loafer is set to make its comeback in 2027.

The wait for the second season of *Skip and Loafer* is nearly over! This delightful rom-com anime, which first graced our screens in 2023, is set to return in April 2027.

The announcement came on Sunday, August 16, along with a teaser trailer and a special illustration. The brief video, just under a minute long, gives fans a fresh glimpse of our main characters, Mitsumi and Shima, alongside the supporting cast as they navigate their high school lives. Mitsumi shares her thoughts, noting that while things change, she’s eager to see what the future holds.

*Skip and Loafer* centers on Mitsumi Iwakura, who relocates from her small town to attend high school in Tokyo. Initially overwhelmed by the fast-paced city life and the larger school environment, she quickly forms a bond with Sōsuke Shima, a popular classmate with a friendly, golden retriever-like demeanor. The series beautifully explores their developing feelings for one another, complemented by a fantastic ensemble of friends and family that elevate it to one of the standout rom-com anime of recent years.

The season two announcement also featured a heartfelt message from Mitsumi’s Japanese voice actress, Tomoyo Kurosawa. She expressed her excitement, saying, “I have been feeling restless the whole time, because I am so excited that I will be able to see Mitsumi and the others again. Being able to gather with the exact same group again after a few years is not something to take for granted, and I feel extremely happy. I want to savor this special moment and run through the story. With a single-minded dedication in my heart that would make Mitsumi proud! I will do my best! Yeah!”

Shima’s voice actor, Akinori Egoshi, echoed her enthusiasm, stating, “I am really looking forward to the time when we can all enjoy the anime *Skip and Loafer* together again!” The main team for season two will largely consist of the same talented individuals from the first season, including director and composer Kotomi Deai and character designer Manami Umeshita.

Fans can look forward to streaming the second season of *Skip and Loafer* on Crunchyroll when it premieres next April.
