No, Citrus Season 2 isn’t confirmed yet. There’s no official release date as of September 2025. The first season aired way back in 2018, and the complete silence from Studio Passione and the production committee since then strongly suggests a sequel is unlikely to be in the works. While fans continue to hold out hope, no new information has surfaced for years.
Been a while since we had our dose of dramatic yuri romance, hasn’t it? The tumultuous relationship between Yuzu and Mei in Citrus left a lasting impression, creating a dedicated fanbase eager for more. After investing countless hours in both the anime and the manga, I can honestly say the story is far from over, which makes the wait for a potential second season all the more agonizing.
Is Citrus Season 2 Officially Confirmed?
Unfortunately, the answer remains a firm no. As of September 2025, there has been no official announcement, confirmation, or even a hint from Studio Passione or any affiliated producers about a second season. The official social media accounts for the anime have been dormant for years, which is never a good sign for a potential continuation.
Why Hasn’t Season 2 Happened Yet?
The lack of a sequel likely comes down to a few key business factors. The first season of Citrus had a mixed reception and its Blu-ray sales in Japan were reportedly low, selling around 1,300 units in its first week. In the anime industry, disc sales are a major indicator of a show’s financial success and the likelihood of it getting another season. Furthermore, Studio Passione is not known for producing sequels to its one-season anime and is often booked with other projects.
Is There Enough Source Material for Season 2?
Yes, there is more than enough source material. The first anime season adapted the first four volumes of the Citrus manga. The main manga series concluded with a total of ten volumes. On top of that, the author, Saburouta, began a sequel series called Citrus+ in late 2018, which is still ongoing. This leaves at least six volumes of the original story and the entirety of the sequel manga ready to be adapted.
What Would Season 2’s Plot Be?
Should a second season ever get the green light, it would likely pick up from Volume 5 of the manga. This part of the story delves deeper into Yuzu and Mei’s relationship after their major confession at the end of the anime. It would explore the challenges they face as they try to navigate their feelings for each other, introducing new characters and dramatic conflicts that test their bond in unexpected ways.
Who Would Return for Season 2?
A hypothetical second season would almost certainly bring back the original Japanese voice cast to maintain consistency. This means we would hear Ayana Taketatsu as the energetic Yuzu Aihara and Minami Tsuda as the reserved Mei Aihara once again. Fan-favorite supporting characters like Harumi Taniguchi, Himeko Momokino, and Matsuri Mizusawa would also be expected to return.
Where Can I Watch Season 1 While Waiting?
For anyone needing to catch up or wanting to relive the drama, the first and only season of Citrus is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. It’s a great way to show continued support for the series, and who knows, high streaming numbers can sometimes influence renewal decisions.
What Are the Odds We’ll Ever Get More Citrus?
Realistically, the odds are low. The combination of lackluster sales, the passage of over seven years, and the studio’s track record makes a sequel a long shot. The anime’s main purpose was likely to boost sales of the manga, which had already concluded its main run when the anime finished airing. However, the world of anime is full of surprises, and sometimes fan demand can bring a beloved series back from the dead.
Will Fans Ever Get Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2?
While the passion for Citrus Season 2 is strong, the outlook for Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 is similarly uncertain. Both series aired years ago and have received no official news about a continuation, leaving fans of both franchises in a state of hopeful waiting.
