Exploring the possibilities of No Longer Allowed in Another World Season 2

Produced by AtelierPontdarc, No Longer Allowed in Another World was one of the stellar titles from the Summer 2024 anime line-up, centered around the Isekai theme. The series provided fans with an excellent narrative, chiefly headed by the protagonist, Osamu Dazai.

As such, fans have already begun the anticipation for No Longer Allowed in Another World Season 2, even though the official staff has yet to green-lit the sequel. Interestingly, there are a few plausible reasons why the series could return for another run.

Several factors are considered before the staff can renew a series for a sequel, and one of them is the availability of the source material. The Isekai Fantasy manga has released 53 chapters thus far, out of which, the first season has adapted 30 chapters.

In other words, the manga still has 23 chapters left for adaptation. Considering the latest season released 12 episodes, covering 30 chapters, a sequel with the same length might not be possible in the immediate future. However, Hiroshi Noda releases the chapters every month.

As such, it will take roughly seven to eight months (including a break if the author decides to) to reach the same 30-chapter mark for No Longer Allowed in Another World Season 2's production. Besides that, the official staff could announce the production now, and work on the 23 released chapters.

By the time they finish adapting those 23 chapters, Hiroshi Noda's manga would reach the required number of chapters for season 2's complete production. As such, it remains to be seen what the studio decides to do.

The source material the manga currently has could be enough for a season with 10-11 episodes, with slower pacing. However, the recently concluded season had a fluid run in terms of pacing, so it's doubtful for the studio to change the approach.

Besides the source material, the official staff could consider producing No Longer Allowed in Another World Season 2 based on its popularity. The sound anime adaptation ushered fans to read the manga and build a niche fanbase.

Among the many Isekai fantasy titles released this year, the anime adaptation of Hiroshi Noda's manga garnered critical acclamation from critics and audiences alike. The series has received 7.32/10 average ratings (as of this writing) from fans on MyAnimeList, which is one of the universally recognized anime forums.

While 7.32 isn't a groundbreaking number for a series, it nonetheless shows the love the series has received from fans. Besides, the series has above 143k members on MyAnimeList, which further proves the show's immense popularity. As such, the series' popularity gives No Longer Allowed in Another World Season 2's production a huge scope.

Yet in the end, it all comes down to the final decisions taken by the official staff and the production studio. That said, there's no doubt that the series has garnered fame due to the anime adaptation, and fans would love to see Sensei, Annette, Tama, Nir, and other beloved characters return in No Longer Allowed in Another World Season 2.
