Onimai Season 2
The finale of season one will premiere globally on 23rd March 2023, making fans wonder if there will be another season.
Is there any announcement of the Onimai: I’m Now Your Sister season 2; however, the fans are hopeful that the season will return to the worldwide screen.
According to a tweet by Lonstarx, there has been an announcement of the final episode.

Onimai Season 1
What’s unique about the Onimai season one is the adaptation of four to five chapters of the original manga series. Currently, 74 chapters have already been published in Japan, while episode 11 of the anime series has covered the manga episodes up to chapter 38.
It means ample content is available for the next season, which international fans would love to watch.
Onimai Season 1 has garnered popularity globally, with an overall rating of 7.4 out of 10 on MyAnimeList, 74 percent on Anilist, and 3.7 out of 5 on Anime-Planet.
The above rating clearly shows that Onimai is the second-highest-scoring anime series from Studio Bind. The first one is Mushoku Tensei on MyAnimeList.
While talking about the highest-rating anime seasons, it’s worth mentioning that the third season of Mushoku Tensei is set to premiere in 2023. It’s another indication of the Onimai Season 2 since the production studio will wrap up their work on the Mushoku Tensei season 3.
