Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle Cour 2 coming in 2026 after Eps 11 thru 13 premiere today

After Episodes 11, 12 and 13 of the rom-com anime Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle were aired earlier today, after several months of a delay for a number of episodes, it was also announced the anime’s second cour will be broadcasting later in 2026.
Now join me in hoping that the anime’s second cour will not be plagued with the same postponements we had to deal with during its first, eh?
Delays that were a real shame because, as comedy romance anime go, this one was one of my more well-liked and funnier ones of 2025.
According to the anime’s official X account, Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle, Cour 2 will kick off with Episode 14, although a premiere date has not yet been officially scheduled.
Production details for Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle
Season 1 of the Studio Feel-animated series premiered its first episode on October 7th, 2025 but, as you will remember, quickly ran into delays with Episode 6 being postponed for quite a few weeks from its originally-planned airdate of November 11th to its ultimate airing on December 2nd.
Episodes 7 through 10 were then aired/streamed in December before Feel announced Episodes 11 through 13 would not be seeing the light of day until Spring, 2026.
Hence, their back-to-back airing in Japan, and streaming on Crunchyroll, earlier today.
The anime is directed by Yuji Tokuno (Episode director Jujutsu Kaisen, Season 2), with Naruhisa Arakawa (More Than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers) in charge of series composition, and Sumie Kinoshita (Spy Classroom) designing the characters.
The aforementioned Studio Feel (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU) animated the series and, while they apparently struggled to deliver episodes on time, the Japanese animation studio did eventually complete and deliver all 13 of them.
Its cute plot, by the way, is described by My Anime List like this:
Saku Chitose appears to lead an enviable high school life. Extraordinarily charismatic, tremendously confident, and effortlessly friendly, he is the kind of person others naturally look up to. But his popularity carries its own burdens; not everyone views him kindly, and whispers of cynicism follow wherever he shines too brightly. To Saku, living an ugly life is worse than death—a belief that drives his need to maintain his perfect reputation.
At the start of his second year, Saku’s homeroom teacher asks him to help bring back a classmate who has stopped attending school. Initially hoping to resolve the matter quickly, Saku finds out that the shut-in Kenta Yamazaki harbors open contempt for him and everything he represents. A simple favor instead exposes the distance between those who live within the social light and those who were never given a chance to shine.
Look out for the second cour of Chitose in the Ramune Bottle premiering later on this year. Although my guess is, the way its previous season went, it will likely be towards the end of the year before that occurs.
