Adachi and Shimamura is a Japanese romance yuri anime TV series heavily inspired by the Light Novel series penned by Hitomi Iruma. The anime series was directed by Satoshi Kuwabara and written by Keiichiro Ochi. The twelve-episode series premiered on October 9, 2020, under the production of Tezuka Productions and distributed by Funimation.

This series revolves around two high school friends Sakura Adachi and Hougetsu Shimamura who are both in their first year. One day Adachi decided to ditch her classes and was idling inside her school gym where she met Shimamura and they gradually became close friends. Adachi then started developing feelings for Shimamura, but she couldn’t tell her that as it was too awkward for her. Meanwhile, Shimamura only thinks of her as a good friend. In the next chapter, their story might progress further and evolve to a much deeper relationship between these two.

The story between these two high schoolers was very popular especially in the LBGTQ community and since then fans have been looking forward to a new season.

Let’s find out below whether or not there will be a second season of Adachi to Shimamura.
