Blue Period Season 2: Blue Period was one of the best anime series of 2021, but even after two years there is no update on the second season.
- The first season of Blue Period anime aired on Netflix for international viewers from Oct 9, 2021, to Dec 25, 2021.
- It’s been more than two years since the first season debuted, but Blue Period hasn’t been renewed for the second season yet.
Blue Period is a slice-of-life anime based on a manga of the same name written and illustrated by Tsubasa Yamaguchi. It follows Yatora Yaguchi, a perfect high school student, who appears to be active but deep down he feels emptiness. The anime series is about this boy discovering his passion for art and deciding to follow it as his dream. This art anime impressed the anime community and that’s the reason the viewers are waiting for its second season. The first season of Blue Period anime consists of 12 episodes and debuted on Netflix for international viewers on Oct 9, 2021. The first season finale landed on the streaming service on Dec 25, 2021.
Blue Period is a beautiful anime that talks about art being heavily entangled with a person’s emotions. No other anime portrays the struggles of an aspiring artist better than Blue Period. The anime garnered acclaim from audiences and critics for its emotional scenes and brilliant characterization. The first season holds an impressive 7.81/10 score on Myanimelist and a 7.7/10 score on IMDb.
It’s been more than two years since the first season debuted on Netflix and the viewers are now asking what’s up with Blue Period Season 2. So, here is everything we know.
Has Blue Period been renewed for season 2?
It’s been more than two years since the first season debuted on Netflix. However, we are yet to get an official confirmation on renewal. As of Feb 6, 2024, the anime hasn’t been officially renewed for the second season by Seven Arcs (a Japanese anime production company). However, fans around the world are optimistic that it will return for its second season.
Though loved by fans internationally, Blue Anime hasn’t received much applause in its origin country Japan. It failed to make it to the Netflix Japan top 10. However, it received good results on Myanimelist and IMDb. So, what are the chances of its renewal? Well, it depends on the popularity and the availability of the source material.
As we mentioned above, Blue Period anime is based on a manga of the same name. There are a total of 15 volumes. The last volume was published on Nov 22, 2023. The Blue Period is on a hiatus currently and the revival won’t happen until 2024. The reason for the hiatus has not been disclosed, but fans speculate it may be due to the author’s poor health or personal reasons.
The first season of the Blue Period anime adapted around six volumes (25 chapters) of the manga series. So, currently, there are nine volumes available for adaptation.

The Blue Period manga has reached over 4.5 million copies in circulation. With such huge popularity, the second season of the anime series looks inevitable.
One of the reasons, the studio didn’t announce the second season was the lack of source material. Since the first season used around six volumes, we assume the same amount of source material would be required for another season. Now that nine volumes are available, we are expecting Netflix to announce the second season.
Blue Period Season 2 Release Date
It’s difficult to predict the release date for the second season as the studio hasn’t announced it yet. Source material should not be an issue as the manga is ongoing.
Some reports even claim that the second season is already in production. If these reports are true, we can expect Blue Period Season 2 to hit Netflix by 2024. However, if the second season is currently not in production, then the wait is going to be long.
What will be the story of Blue Period Season 2?
If we get the second two, then it’ll cover the First Year University Arc. Assuming it picks up where it left off, the second season will start from Volume 7, Chapter 26 of the manga. Furthermore, if it adapts the same amount of content, i.e. 25 chapters, the second will reach Saeki’s Drawing Class Mini Arc and the Second Year University Arc.
In the second season, we will see Yaguchi face new challenges as he successfully gets into the Tokyo University of the Arts. Since he’s in the company of the best art students in Japan, he will have to prove his skills despite his inexperience. Moreover, Yaguchi and his rival, Yotasuke, will strengthen their friendship in the coming season.
Which studio is making Blue Period Season 2?
The first season was animated by Seven Arcs, so there is a likelihood that the same studio will produce the second season as well.
Despite massive success in the international market, Blud Period’s first season received a moderate response in Japan. Some fans argued that the anime was lifeless compared to the manga. They said that the anime was fast-paced and didn’t capture the essence of its source material.
Where to watch Blue Period?
Like its first season, Blue Period Season 2 will most likely be released on Netflix. Unlike other anime, which are released on numerous streaming platforms, Blue Period is only available on Netflix internationally.
Conclusion
Despite the massive success of the first season, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed Blue Period for a second season. However, we expect the streaming giant to make an announcement soon. We expect the second season of Blue Period to premiere sometime in 2025.
It is going to be a long wait for the second season of Blue Period, however, if you are interested, we recommend you watch the following animes that are similar to Blue Period:
- Barkamon
- Space Brothers
- Welcome To The Ballroom
- Run With The Wind
- Shirobako
