What Happened So Far In Ahiru no Sora
The anime follows the story of Sora, a fifteen-year-old boy who’s dreamed of being the top basketball player ever since he was a child. He trains hard and does everything he can to achieve his childhood goal. However, everyone knows that it is extremely important to be tall to be a professional basketball player. Sora has a short height, which puts him at a disadvantage, but he’s determined not to let go of his passion only because of his height.
To compensate and cover the disadvantage he has because of having a short height, Sora trains tirelessly to improve his skills. He believes that if he persistently works hard and doesn’t give up, he can one day achieve his dream of becoming a top basketball player. Sora had promised his mother that he would dominate his first high school tournament, so he got admission in Kuzuryū High School and joined the basketball team. Although, the basketball club is full of members who don’t leave a chance to tease Sora on his short height.
However, Sora soon realizes that the basketball club is full of non-serious members who don’t have a real passion for the game. Although Sora is excessively bullied and criticized, he doesn’t give up on his passion. Since basketball is a team sport, the attitude of the members must change for Sora to achieve his goal.

Although officially, there has been no announcement from the writers or the studio regarding Season 2. No teaser has been released yet in support of such, too.
What are fans saying about Ahiru no Sora Season 2?
Soon after the end of season one, fans of Ahiru no Sora began posting on various social media platforms asking about Season 2. However, some fans aren’t feeling overly optimistic about the release of Season 2 as they believe that the writer didn’t like the animated adaption of Season 2, so it may not produce another season.
Nevertheless, there are fans still excitedly waiting for the announcement of Season 2. The emotions of fans on Twitter regarding Season 2 can be seen below:
Will there be Ahiru no Sora Season 2?
After its release, Ahiru no Sora Season 1, it received popularity, as shown on Google Trends. The manga on which the anime is based had reported having twenty-four million copies in print as of February 28, 2018. Since the manga is so running and successful, it is an encouraging factor for producing Season 2. Moreover, the first season only covers eighteen volumes of manga. There are currently fifty-one volumes available, and it’s still ongoing, which means there is more than enough source material available for producing a second season.
However, one reason which can possibly delay or reduce the chances of Season 2 is writer Takeshi Hinata’s clash with Diomedea studio. Although the studio did a good job and didn’t change the storyline either, Takeshi Hinata did not like the animated adaptation. He disliked it so much that he even apologized to the fans on his Twitter account. Seeing Takashi’s criticism towards the animation, he may not be willing to work with the studio again for a second season.
Although this issue might not affect the renewal of the series because there are still positive factors such as the success of the anime and demand from the fans for Season 2, which can put pressure on the creators for making a second season. Hopefully, this issue between the writer and studio will get resolved soon. Season 2 will be announced in the near future.
When will Ahiru no Sora Season 2 be released?
Since the renewal of Ahiru no Sora Season 2 has not yet been announced, its release date cannot be confirmed either. However, if the producers soon decide to produce and create Season 2, its release date can be expected to be in late 2022 or early 2023.
What Can We Expect In Season 2 Of Ahiru no Sora?
