Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 15

The Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle anime has a second cours scheduled for October 13, 2026. Kadokawa announced the date in September, after first saying in July that the second cours would arrive in October. The first broadcast is set for AT-X at 11:00 p.m., with later airings that evening on Tokyo MX, BS11, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, Fukui Broadcasting, and TV Aichi. An episode 13.5 recapping the series so far airs the week before.

The new cours adds Sora Amamiya as Mai Todo. Cider Girl performs the opening theme "Saku" and aruma performs the ending theme "Doko nimo Ikenai Mama." Studio feel. returns to animate, with Yuji Tokuno directing and Naruhisa Arakawa overseeing series composition alongside original author Hiromu.

The first cours debuted in October 2025. Its run was repeatedly disrupted: episode 6 was postponed, and episodes 11 through 13 were split off and aired in March 2026. The delays and the recap episode placed before the return both point to a production that has not run to a single continuous schedule.

Yen Press licenses the English release of the light novel and manga. A collaboration event with Fukui prefecture, the series' real-world setting, is scheduled for August 21 to November 8.
