A little late to the party but...Hell Yeah! I cannot wait!

I too, hope for a license of both the first season and manga stateside. Bring it to us please!

I'm shocked. After the poor sales (2K per volume), I thought it wouldn't happen, but it did.

I still have yet to watch the first season, but this is really, really good news for all the people who absolutely loved the first season.

This is awesome news!! I can't wait to see this anime continued - one of my favorites in recent years! I seriously didn't think it would get a second season, but it's so nice to be wrong!

Excellent news ~ either the series moved a lot of the back catalog of manga, or sold a whole hell of a lot of notebook covers, or both.

As much as people say this couldn't be licensed, I highly doubt it. They've licensed anime with more obscure and esoteric premises before, and I'm sure they will again. Of course it helps when the only companies grabbing titles aren't FUNi and Sentai. My money's on Sentai if anyone.

If Sentai and Funi passes, I'd not be surprised if Nozomi/RightStuf picked it up.


Although I'd like to see Chihayafuru dubbed, I'd love to see the treatment Nozomi would give it.

Bring on season 2 ASAP Cool

I had to suppress a scream of joy when I read the news at work.

As for a license I think this would be a great series for the NISA premium sets. I am also hoping for a manga license.

If you go to Vertical's Facebook page, they're running a poll on what manga to license next year. Chihayafuru is currently in fifth place. (I think you have to like them in order to see the poll.)


Thanks; I appreciate it!
I voted for Chihayafuru, Princess Jellyfish, March Comes like a Lion,Kaze to Ki no Uta & five others.

If it doesn't get picked up (which it should since it's in 2nd), I'll consider importing. ^__^

A possible NIS America box set? That would be amazing~ Cool

Thanks for the info! But if I remember correctly, someone did ask him about it on Twitter a little while ago, and his response, while not totally shooting it down, wasn't too positive either (memory's really fuzzy). Hopefully this poll will show the interest, although I think he also did say that they're avoiding long series at this point.



That was me. He said they'd have no idea who to market it to...

Also, HELL YEAH! Best news I've heard all day.

It must have done good things to the manga sales, because the disc sales were...underwhelming.

I enjoyed the show, though it wasn't one of my favorites.

Of course not, there wasn't enough yuri/moe/ecchi going on... Rolling Eyes
