Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki getting a season 2 was a surprise to many, considering the anime was considered a sleeper hit and overshadowed by other romantic comedies like The Quintessential Quintuplets and Horimiya when it initially premiered in 2021.

The original light novels consistently ranked in the top 10 for light novel rankings in the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This light novel is amazing!) guide book from 2017 through 2019. They were released in English in May 2016, with the final stage starting in March 2023.

Another factor in the surprise popularity of the anime was Tomokazi consistently being in the top 10 male characters from Crunchyroll's viewers polls for several months in 2021, getting all the way to number 3. There's also many viewers stating that the series is just really relatable to many who became shut-ins and the struggles of people like them, as well as overachievers.


Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki season 2 is set to premiere on Crunchyroll for international audiences and on the AT-X, Tokyo MX, and BS11 channels in Japan on January 3, 2024. Viewers are reminded that all schedules are subject to change, pending other announcements.
