The official website for the television anime adaptation of Misaki Takamatsu's Skip and Loafer (Skip to Loafer) manga revealed in a teaser video that the show's second season will make its debut in April 2027.
Takatsugu Wakabayashi (Dragonar Academy) is returning to compose the music, joined by new composer MICHIRU. Kotomi Deai (Natsume's Book of Friends) returns from the first season to direct and oversee the series scripts at P.A. Works. Scriptwriter Yōko Yonaiyama is also overseeing the series scripts alongside Deai. Manami Umeshita returns as the character designer and chief animation director, alongside fellow returning chief animation directors Reina Igawa and Yūsuke Inoue.
Other staff members on the second season include sub-character designer Mio Fujishima (new), main animators Sara Sakoe, Hiroyuki Honda (new), and Chieko Satō (new), prop setter Satomi Higuchi, 2D and subtitle designer Ryo Murakami (new), special effects artists Masahiro Murakami (new) and Sumie Murakami (new), background artist Yūta Fujii, art director Sō Senoo (new), color designer Yūko Kobari, director of photography Akane Ueda, 3D director Motonari Ichikawa, editor Ayumu Takahashi, and sound director Haru Yamada.
Crunchyroll will stream the second season. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English, describing the story: 'Excellent student Iwakura Mitsumi has always dreamt about leaving her small town, going to a prestigious university, and making positive change in the world. But she's so focused on reaching her goals that she's not prepared for the very different (and overwhelming) city life that awaits her in a Tokyo high school. Luckily, she makes fast friends with Shima Sousuke, a handsome classmate who's as laid-back as she is over-prepared.'
The first anime series premiered in April 2023. Takamatsu launched the manga in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine in August 2018, and the series has since achieved critical acclaim, ranking #7 in the 2020 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook and receiving a stage musical adaptation in March 2026.
