More than a year has passed since the official announcement, and fans are hoping for more content from the second season. Although the manga has progressed considerably, information about the second season has been scarce up to the time of this post.
One of the most frequently mentioned theories among the various circulating is the perception that, although "Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru" was popular, many considered it "less popular among the popular ones," especially when compared to hits like "ChainSaw Man," "Lycoris Recoil," and "Bocchi the Rock!" in 2022. This view could have influenced prioritization decisions by the production committee and the animation studio CloverWorks.
Furthermore, the upcoming anime adaptation of "2.5 Dimensional Seduction," another cosplay-centered franchise produced by Shueisha, could lead to comparisons and even competition if "Sono Bisque Doll" returns this year. This situation may have motivated a strategic pause in the development of the second season.
However, the most pressing concern revolves around the current career of voice actress Hina Suguta, known for her role as Marin Kitagawa. Since leaving her agency, Amino Produce, in mid-2023, Suguta has been working as a freelancer and hasn't had any major projects in the anime industry. This circumstance, in which the actress needs to actively seek opportunities, may have negatively impacted the progress of the second season project.
On the other hand, Shoya Ishige, who played Wakana Gojo, has landed prominent roles in various anime productions since "Sono Bisque Doll." Furthermore, the band Spira Spica, responsible for the series' opening theme, faced setbacks. The loss of the guitarist and bassist in August 2022 could have affected plans for a possible new season.
A combination of factors, ranging from perceived popularity to individual issues involving cast and crew members.
Meanwhile, fans remain eager for any news about the future of this beloved series.
Synopsis of Sono Bisque Doll:
The story follows Wakana Gojo, a young man passionate about handcrafted doll clothes but who lives a solitary life. Everything changes after an incident in his childhood with a friend who disliked dolls. However, Gojo meets Marin, a girl from his school who, without any shyness, sees in Wakana a possibility of turning him into a fan of cosplay, just like her.
The first season premiered in January 2022, and the second season has been confirmed, but a premiere date has not yet been announced.
Finally, comment if you think there should already be new information about the 2nd season of Sono Bisque Doll.
