Eromanga Sensei Season 2 has yet to be officially confirmed, so there is no release date for the second season of this anime series.

The question is, will there be an Eromanga Sensei Season 2, and when is it coming out?

In this post, we will answer whether or not Eromanga Sensei anime season 2 will happen in 2022, as well as a potential release date, but first, some essential info:

Eromanga Sensei is a fantastic romantic comedy anime series with ecchi elements. The main character of this anime series is Sagiri Izumi.

The story is about Sagiri Izumi, a girl who became step-siblings with Masamune Izumi. The sudden death of their parents tears their new family apart, resulting in Sagiri becoming a shut-in, which cuts her off from her brother and society.

The Eromanga Sensei anime series has had over 12 episodes across one season so far. The first season of Eromanga Sensei aired from April to June 2017. In addition, two OVAs were released in 2019.

The first OVA is titled Yamada Elf’s Love Song, and the second OVA is titled Cooked Meals of Pure Love. Both of the OVAs are fun to watch.

This anime series has many fans that want to know if Eromanga Sensei will get a Season 2 and when the new season is coming out.

So now, let’s figure out if Eromanga Sensei will have a season 2 and the Eromanga Sensei Season 2 release date.

How Can We Figure Out If There Will Be Eromanga Sensei Season 2

How Can We Figure Out If There Will Be an Eromanga Sensei Season 2?


The most reliable way to figure out if Eromanga Sensei Season 2 will happen is to look at the source material status and whether the anime made a good profit.

It’s possible to tell from that information 95% of the time if there are any plans to continue an anime series and estimate the likely release date.

I did it for hundreds of other anime sequels, like:

And I looked at the same information for Eromanga Sensei, so if you want to learn if there will be a season 2 or even an Eromanga Sensei season 3, read this article.

After reading this article, you will know whether Eromanga Sensei season 2 will be announced in 2022, as well as the release date for season 2.

Let’s start with the source material.

Eromanga Sensei Season 2 Manga & Light Novel

Eromanga Sensei Season 2 Manga & Light Novel


The Eromanga Sensei anime, known as エロマンガ先生 in Japan, is based on a successful light novel.

The Eromanga Sensei light novel series is written by Tsukasa Fushimi and illustrated by Hiro Kanzaki.

How many volumes of Eromanga Sensei are there?

As of January 2022, there have been 12 volumes published in Japan for the Eromanga Sensei light novel series.

There is also an Eromanga Sensei manga. The manga is just a visual retelling of the light novel, and it already ended with a rushed ending without adapting all of the books.

Is The Eromanga Sensei light novel Still Going?

Yes, the Eromanga Sensei light novel series is still ongoing in 2022. Tsukasa Fushimi (Oreimo) published the latest volume in Japan on November 9, 2019.

There was no new volume released in 2020 or 2021. The author is currently working on an Oreimo spin-off, so for now, there is no Eromanga Sensei Light Novel volume 13 release date.

Eromanga Sensei Light Novel After the first season?

Eromanga Sensei light novel after the first season is volume 4. The first season adapted volumes 1 to 3, and both OVAs are original stories.

So, if you want to continue the story from where the first season ended, start reading from Eromanga Sensei Light Novel Volume 4.

The first season of Eromanga Sensei used three volumes, so the start of season 2 is volume 4, and the end is likely volume 6.

That means there is enough content for at least three more Eromanga Sensei seasons in 2022.

I would recommend reading the Eromanga Sensei light novels. The problem is that this light novel series was never officially translated into English.

Eromanga Sensei Profitability for season 2

Eromanga Sensei Profitability for season 2


If there’s one reason why 90% of anime series never get more than one season, it’s because they didn’t make enough money and profit.

That is why it is critical to examine Eromanga Sensei’s profitability and sales figures.

How Well Did The Eromanga Sensei Blu-Ray Sell?

The Eromanga Sensei Blu-ray sold roughly 7,700 copies per disk for the first season. That’s a pretty good number.

The two OVAs sold around 11,000 copies in 2019. That’s even better than the first season.

There aren’t many anime series that sold over 7,000 copies per Blu-ray disk in 2017 and didn’t get a new season.

How well does The Eromanga Sensei Light Novel Sell?

Volume 11 of Eromanga Sensei sold approximately 25,000 copies, and volume 12 sold around 20,000 copies.

The books aren’t a big moneymaker for Eromanga Sensei.

Selling around 20,000 copies per book is not bad, but not the best for a series with an anime adaptation. Also, it has been more than two years since Eromanga Sensei released a new light novel volume.

How many copies does Eromanga Sensei have in print?

As of 2020/06/6, the Eromanga Sensei series had 1,600,000 copies in print.

It is not in the top 100 best-selling light novel series of all time.

This series is likely to never get into the top 100. It would need at least five more volumes, and I doubt it will get that. I’m not even sure if a season 2 boost would do it.

How Much Merchandise Is There For Eromanga Sensei?

There are more than 50 figurines, but only around ten are of good quality. There are also more than 350 pieces of merchandise made for this series. That is a decent amount.

Some of the figures look amazing, such as this Elf Yamada Nendoroid. Also, have a look at this stunning Sagiri Figure.

Eromanga Sensei did decently in getting merchandise and figurines. For only one cour season, it did above average.


From the information above, we can conclude that this series was profitable, so money and profit will not be an issue for Eromanga Sensei season 2.

I recommend checking out the Eromanga Sensei merchandise if you are a fan of the Eromanga Sensei series. There is some fantastic merch made for this franchise.

Will There Be A Season 2 Of Eromanga Sensei

Will There Be A Season 2 Of Eromanga Sensei?


Season 2 would take the story forward and continue the anime from season one, but season 2 of Eromanga Sensei will likely never come out.

That means there will never be a new season of Eromanga Sensei, and Eromanga Sensei Season 2 Episode 1 will not be released either on Crunchyroll, Funimation, or even Netflix.

The more interesting question is, why is the second season of Eromanga Sensei never coming out? Now let’s look at what happened to Eromanga Sensei Season 2.

Also, learn if there will be:


What Happened To Eromanga Sensei Season 2?


There is no Eromanga Sensei Season 2 release date because of the author.

The author, Tsukasa Fushimi, decided to take a break from Eromanga Sensei. He went to work on Oreimo spin-off light novels for Ayase, Kuroneko, and Kanako.

The Kanako spin-off came out on September 10, 2021, and there should be a part 2 released in 2022. So it looks like there will be no volume 13 for Eromanga Sensei in 2022.

That means it will be three years without a single new volume of Eromanga Sensei. I’m not sure if the author lost interest in Eromanga Sensei.

He should finish it before jumping to do something else for three years. According to what I read, one or two more volumes of Eromanga Sensei would be sufficient to bring it to a conclusion.

It’s now five years since the first season came out, so the chances of the second season aren’t good, even if it made a profit.

It would have come out a long time ago if there were any plans for season two, but you never know with Kadokawa. Eromanga Sensei selling well means there is always hope for season 2.

The Oreimo spin-offs are likely to be finished by the end of 2022, at which point we’ll know whether the author will return to finish the Eromanga Sensei series.

If there is nothing about a new season in 2022 on the Eromanga Sensei official Twitter account, then a new season will never be released.

In conclusion, there will likely never be an Eromanga Sensei Season 2, and if there is no news in 2022, don’t ever expect a release date for the second season.
