Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms Season 2 heads to Crunchyroll in January

Mona Kawai's war on the one boy who will not fall for her is coming back to Western screens. Crunchyroll has confirmed it will stream Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms Season 2 when it premieres in January 2027, covering North, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East and the CIS.

An early look in Texas

Fans in the US get a head start: the new season has a premiere screening at Anime Frontier in Fort Worth, Texas, on December 6. That puts it on the same weekend lineup as other big Crunchyroll premieres, which is a nice sign of how the platform sees this show.

Same team, a few new hands

Yoshiaki Okumura returns to direct at SynergySP, with Mayumi Watanabe on character designs and Akiyuki Tateyama on music again. Yoriko Tomita, who wrote My Dress-Up Darling, now handles series composition and scripts. Ryota Iwasaki and Yu Serizawa are back as Medaka and Mona.

Where the story picks up

Season 1, which aired from January to March 2025, ended with Mona finally admitting to herself that she has fallen for Medaka. The official site teases that her next goal is actually dating him, while Asahi and a brand new rival make that road a lot bumpier. Ran Kuze's original manga runs in Weekly Shonen Magazine and is published in English by Kodansha USA, so manga readers already know how messy it gets.

My take

This was one of the easiest rom-coms to recommend last year: short, bright and genuinely funny, with Mona's over-the-top schemes carrying every episode. Having Tomita on scripts is a strong hint the show will lean into the sweeter side of the story. Season 1 is on Crunchyroll with an English dub if you need a refresher.
