What to expect

Masamune-Kun's Revenge R season 2 episode 1 will follow the story of Hazuki Takeoka's manga from its chapter 30. The first season, which aired in 2017, covered up to 29 chapters of the manga.

The story is centered on Masamune Makabe, who was once tormented by a beautiful and rich girl, Aki Adagaki, in his childhood. Due to Makabe's chubby appearance, he was also given the nickname 'Piggy.' Hence, to seek revenge against his tormentor, Makabe improves himself and returns as a handsome high school student.

The first season ended with the Cultural Festival Arc and showed the Karaoke party scenes. In the finale episode of season 1, Makabe also managed to make it to the play on time; the much-awaited kissing scene was also shown. Therefore, it remains to be seen how the second season captures the 'schemes' of Masamune, and whether he still has 'revenge' in his mind or not.
