With season 1 closing curtains for Yukichi and Saku’s slice-of-life goodness, The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today season 2 has become one of the most-awaited sequels yet to be green-lit. However, given the exceptional reception the anime garnered for the adaptation of Hitsuji Yamada’s original manga series, a sequel can be expected to be on the horizon.
The manga is ongoing, and as of August 2023, the eighth volume has been released. It means that fans can anticipate further exploration of Yukichi and Saku’s daily routines, shedding light on how they navigate their contrasting lifestyles. While Saku remains a carefree and disorganized individual, Yukichi will continue to do his best to look after her and be the masterful cat he is.
The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today season 2 is likely to release in 2025
The first season of The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today concluded its run by adapting content from the original manga in a somewhat unconventional order, reaching up to chapter 41 from the fourth volume.
With 30 chapters left to cover as of October 2023, the pace of the manga indicates that fans may need to exercise some patience, as it seems unlikely that The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today season 2 will grace screens until 2024.
Nonetheless, there’s a glimmer of hope for fans eagerly awaiting more episodes. The previous season managed to cram in 41 chapters within a 13-episode span, suggesting that the production team can maintain an efficient pace.
With this in mind, there’s a possibility for The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today season 2 to make its debut in 2025, allowing fans to continue immersing themselves in the world of Yukichi and Saku’s adventures.
