Kotaro Lives Alone Season 2: Extended or Canceled?

Based on the Japanese manga series of the same name, written and illustrated by Mami Tsumura, ‘Kotaro Lives Alone’ is a comedy anime. The show revolves around the life of a lonely 4-year-old boy named Kotaro who meets and befriends Shin Karino, a failed manga artist, after moving into a dilapidated apartment complex. Surprisingly, the young boy is independent, and after losing his parents at such a young age, he has managed to earn a living and is much more organized than his adult neighbors, who are all struggling in life.

Kotaro’s hilarious misadventures soon after the premiere managed to impress viewers around the world. So it’s only natural for them to wonder if it will return for another episode or not? In case you’re wondering the same thing, well, we’ve got you covered.

Kotaro Lives Alone Season 2 Release Date

‘Kotaro Lives Alone’ season 1 was released in its entirety on Netflix on March 10, 2022. The first episode consists of ten episodes, each with a running time of approximately 26-27 minutes. Prior to Netflix’s original net animation, Mami Tsumura’s manga series was adapted into a television drama set to be released in 2021.

As for the comedy anime revamp, here’s everything we know so far. Netflix or other companies involved in the production of the show have not officially announced the renewal of ‘Kotaro Lives Alone’. However, fans need not be discouraged as the first season has only recently been released, so we can expect some positive development in the coming weeks.

Such speculation is supported by the fact that Mami Tsumura’s manga series already has eight installments, and comedy anime has only scratched the surface of the overall content by making it ten episodes. So there is no shortage of resource material to cover. Additionally, Netflix’s investment in anime has only increased in recent years, with CEO Reed Hastings emphasizing the importance of putting more money into the genre across multiple agencies.

In addition to all of the above factors, the streaming giant has also shown interest in light-hearted anime shows such as “Komi Can’t Communicate” and “The Way of the Househusband” in the recent past, showing that they are eager to expand their catalog of comedy anime. Taking all this into consideration, the show’s renewal seems quite likely in the near future. That’s why ‘Kotaro Lives Alone’ season 2 will most likely premiere somewhere early 2022†

Kotaro Lives Alone Season 2 Plot: What Could It Be About?

In Season 1, shortly after moving into his new apartment, Kotaro befriends Karino. The unlikely acquaintances become friends over the next few weeks and learn each other’s hilarious secrets. Kotaro helps his friend Kakeru, who is too dependent on his maid for every job, to become self-reliant. Meanwhile, Karino learns a lot about the boy, including the reasons for his outspoken speech, his preference for soft and expensive tissues, and his favorite movies.

In Season 2, we can expect Kotaro to remain much more advanced and self-reliant than his adult peers. He will make more friends and it is very likely that viewers will learn more about his past. Meanwhile, Karino is able to draw inspiration from the young man and find some success in his career.
