Ya Boy Kongming season 2 may most likely be released next year

Ya Boy Kongming, aka Paripi Koumei, has quickly become popular with the release of season 1, which comprised 12 episodes and ran for two months. Through characterization and a quirky plot, the anime gained immense appreciation, and when an anime performs well, viewers set certain expectations.

Demand for an anime rises with rising popularity, making it the best opportunity for the makers to hold onto success by renewing the series. It is a common phenomenon in the television entertainment industry. Previously, many series have got renewed repeatedly due to its increasing demand. Ya Boy Kongming's case falls under the same category, which is why fans now believe that there will be a new season of Ya Boy Kongming coming out soon.

Even though there is no statement given by the makers, the possibility of receiving a new season is not zero. The first thing to look at while speculating a new season is the source of content. The first four volumes of Yuto Yotsuba's manga, which is illustrated by Ryo Ogawa, were adapted for 10 episodes. Thus, there is still a lot that can be covered in future installments.

However, there is still one concern that fans of the series have been entertaining. Ya Boy Kongming's animating studio, P.A. Works, majorly focuses on the original work of a series. As such, fans hope that the studio will make an exception in this case and choose to stick with the manga material.

If Ya Boy Kongming gets a new season, it is expected to be in 2024 and can probably be streamed on HIDIVE, just like the first season.
