Will there be a second season of ‘My Roommate is a Cat’?
The anime has not yet been renewed for a second season. The fact that a long time has passed reduces expectations on this issue. The continuation of an anime series depends on popularity and source material availability. Let’s examine this situation for the sweet anime series.
Manga status of the anime
The manga series written by Minatsuki is ongoing. The manga series, which started broadcasting on Comic Polaris in June 2015, consists of 6 volumes. The manga series, which was last released in December 2019, does not provide enough source material for a second season. Sufficient resources for a second season will take several years if the manga series continues.
