Table of Contents

Renewed Or Cancelled?

Introduction:

When it comes to popular Japanese manga being adapted into anime series, the online world is buzzing with excitement from fans worldwide. While crime and thriller genres dominate the anime scene, there are also titles that cater to the romance enthusiasts. One such title is “More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers,” a beloved Japanese manga series by Yūki Kanamaru. Initially serialized in Kadokawa Shoten’s seinen manga magazine Young Ace in March 2018, the manga has gained considerable popularity, leading to its adaptation into an anime series by Studio Mother that aired from October to December 2022. Now, after its first season, fans are eager to know if the series has been renewed or cancelled. Let’s dive into the details below.

The Plot of “More Than A Married Couple, but not Lovers”:

The 2022 anime, “More Than A Married Couple, but not Lovers,” is based on the Japanese manga titled “Fufu Ijo, Koibito Miman.” The story revolves around Jiro, a young high school student who finds himself paired up with Akari, one of the most popular girls in his class, for a school practical. However, there’s a twist – the practical requires the couples to pretend to be married in order to graduate. This delightful romance anime takes us on a journey as these young individuals experience love for the first time in their lives.

Possibility of Season 2:

As of now, there hasn’t been an official announcement regarding the renewal of “More Than A Married Couple, but not Lovers” (Fufu Ijo, Koibito Miman) for a second season. However, considering both the show’s popularity and the unresolved storylines from Season 1, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the anime being renewed for a follow-up. While there’s no confirmation yet, it’s common in the anime industry for successful shows to receive multiple seasons. Therefore, we predict that “More Than A Married Couple, but not Lovers” may indeed be renewed for a new season. Fans can potentially look forward to a second season being released in 2023.

Potential Storylines for Season 2:

With its open-ended finale, Season 1 left us in anticipation as Akari and Shiori both expressed their feelings for Jiro. However, Jiro remains unaware that Akari harbors romantic feelings for him rather than their friend, Minami. The season concluded with a race between Akari and Shiori, with the winner determined to confess her love to Jiro. Interestingly, both girls reached the top of the temple simultaneously, leaving viewers with unresolved romantic plotlines.

If “More Than A Married Couple, but not Lovers” is indeed renewed for a second season, we can expect Jiro and Shiori to be paired as a couple. This pairing may finally make Jiro realize his true feelings for Akari. Meanwhile, since Akari is aware of Minami’s unrequited love for her, there’s a possibility that spending more time together during the remaining episodes of the marriage practical could lead to a budding romance between them.
