It has only been two days since the conclusion of its debut season, and its fans are already looking for the whereabouts of Peach Boy Riverside Season 2. The first run of the fantasy anime series wasn’t the way fans expected it to be. Despite that, it managed to get a positive response. The only issue with its inaugural installment was the chronological order of its episodes. So, will there be a second installment, and when will it hit the screens? Here are all the latest details.
Peach Boy Riverside is a Japanese fantasy drama anime TV series. It is an adaptation of Coolkyousinnjya’s manga series of the same name, which is also a remake of the web manga. Asahi Production animated the first season of this show. Its twelve-part debut season came out on July 1, 2021, and aired its final episode on September 16, 2021.
Manga Compared To The Anime
Coolkyousinnjya began the serialization of the Peach Boy Riverside manga series in August 2015. Since then, he has published a total of ten volumes. When the anime adaptation of this manga was announced, everyone expected a faithful adaptation from Asahi Production. However, that didn’t happen as the production studio completely messed up the chronological order of the manga series. They did this to increase the suspense and tension and find a good stopping point for the anime.
Its premiere episode began with Chapters 2 and 3 of the manga, whereas Chapter 1 was adopted in the fourth episode. The twelfth episode used Chapters 11 and 12, but the overall stopping point of the anime was at Chapter of Volume 7. Therefore, Asahi Production has only three chapters left to create Peach Boy Riverside Season 2. It is certainly not enough, but the good thing is that manga is still running. So, the production studio will have enough content by next year.
Peach Boy Riverside Season 2: Renewal Status
The renewal of anime series depends on several factors like popularity, critical reception, ratings, availability of source material, and many more. The critical reception of the anime wasn’t really well as they find nothing special in the series. Its ratings are also quite mediocre. At the time of writing, it holds a score of 6.38 on MyAnimeList. Most of the fans think it happened because of the messed-up chronological order of the anime. Despite the average response, the series made quite a lot of fans and has more than 111k members in its MAL group.
Well, the production studio will soon have enough source material as well. Also, Asahi Production changed the manga order so that they could create a good stopping point for the anime. It clearly indicates that the makers already planned Peach Boy Riverside Season 2. They are just waiting for the right time and will likely announce the second season by the end of this year.
Peach Boy Riverside Season 2: Release Date
There is a possibility that the production studio won’t make the fans wait for a long time as they have already planned most things. If everything goes well, fans can expect Peach Boy Riverside Season 2 to release by the end of 2022. We will update this section once the official premiere date comes out.
