What to expect in The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2

Based on the official description of The Ancient Magus' Bride's plot, Hatori Chise was tired of her existence and wants to run away from it just like her family did. She understood why her father and younger brother fled together, and her mother broke down and killed herself in front of Chise.

As an unwelcome visitor, she went to a distant aunt's house and got labeled as a problem child, further pushing her into depression. Chise, desperate for a new home, chooses to sell herself into slavery. Her new home is a mystery magus named Elias Ainsworth, a seven-foot-tall humanoid with an animal skull instead of a human head.

Elias spends five million pounds to get a unique apprentice in Chise. She travels the world with Elias in the hopes of finding a cure while learning more about her talents and the world her family has been attempting to run away from.

The synopsis for The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2, as per Crunchyroll reads,

"Chise was able to accept Elias and herself, if not necessarily everything about her situation. After Cartaphilus fell back into a slumber that would not last forever, Chise was able to go back to her regular life. Then she receives an invitation from a mutual aid organization for mages called the College."

It continues,

"Under the British Library exists a secret society of mages. Encounters and interactions with people are about to open some new doors. This is a story about saving yourself to save another."

The hype for the new season is real, and most fans are ecstatic about it, which is understandable given how long it has been in the works since the end of the first season. Overall, the season is expected to reach new heights of popularity as the plot continues to improve.
