The second season is an original story set two years after the first season’s ending, with Akihiro and Takashi now living together. Original author Kinoshita stated in their comment that they had the privilege to see the original story in advance. 

The Rampage male idol group member Makoto Hasegawa (left in visual right) reprises his role as Akihiro Miyata, while Robin Furuya (right) returns as Takashi Iwanaga. Other returning cast members are Aloha Takamatsu as Yūto Shiraishi, and Junya Shiraishi as Kyōsuke Sugimoto.

The second season will premiere on the “Dramaism” programming block on MBS, TBS, CBC, RKB, and HBC on September 1.

The first season premiered in March 2024.

The manga’s story begins when Miyata, a business magazine editor who just entered the 10th year of his career, receives a proposal for a new column from a popular college professor named Iwanaga, who happens to be his first love. Miyata promised to elope with Iwanaga in their high school years, but got teased for it, leading to their eventual breakup. With their new professional reunion, a relationship both old and new begins.

Kinoshita launched the manga in Tokuma Shoten‘s Chara Selection magazine in March 2018, and ended the series with its third compiled book volume in April 2023.

Kodansha‘s Magazine Pocket platform published the final part of the final chapter of Soborou‘s Jukebox manga on August 1. The third compiled book volume will ship on September 16.

The series follows the lives of the odd residents of the Jukebox dormitory, which include an angel, a demon, a wizard and apprentice, an amateur manga artist, and a genius Edo-era painter.

Soborou ended the manga in October 2024.
