On his way home after drinking, he meets a high school girl, Sayu, who is a runaway. Yoshida’s crush decisively rejected him after he had longed for her for 5 long years. Given the sorrow he suffered, he decides to spend the night drinking. However, he accidentally crossed pathways with the runaway high school girl.

Although there isn’t an official announcement yet on Season 2, it is likely on the cards for 2023. Usually, a manga anime adaptation can take as long as two years to come up with a completely new season. Now, there is a possibility that the anime won’t renew for another season. If that happens, fans can expect an OVA episode to get a conclusion to the story.
