As the beloved anime series “Haikyu!!” nears its finale, sports enthusiasts seek a captivating replacement to maintain their passion for the sports genre amidst an overflow of content. Thankfully, after a prolonged delay, another highly-praised sports anime is reappearing on our screens. Indeed, we’re referring to “Ao Ashi,” which garnered immense admiration from its audience during its initial season.

Ao Ashi Anime Is Finally Confirmed To Make A Return With Season 2

The Announcement Every Sports Anime Fan Was Hoping For

The first season of “Ao Ashi” debuted in April 2022 and wrapped up its run in September, following a successful two-part broadcast. This anime series, produced by Production I.G., swiftly garnered the interest of many anime enthusiasts due to its engaging plot and exceptional animation. Although it was somewhat underestimated initially, “Ao Ashi” was still labeled as one of the top anime releases in 2022. Ever since then, fans who’ve seen the series have been eagerly anticipating news about a possible comeback. At long last, that announcement has been made.

Just now, it was revealed on the cover of Weekly Big Comic Spirits due out soon that Ao Ashi will resume with Season 2. Earlier this month, there was talk of a significant announcement from Ao Ashi scheduled for May 2, 2025, but the magazine’s cover was leaked prematurely. This means fans got the exciting news a tad early. However, the creators have yet to disclose further details about Season 2.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for over three years to find out when Season 2 of their favorite show will be released. A crucial question on everyone’s mind is whether Production I.G. will continue producing it or if a different animation studio will step in instead. Fortunately, we won’t have to wait much longer as the official announcement is set for May 2. Here’s hoping we get all our questions answered soon!

Ao Ashi Manga Is Inching Towards Its Ultimate Conclusion

The Manga Will End In May With 40 Volumes

Excitedly speaking as a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my anticipation about Ao Ashi! Last year, its brilliant creator, Yugo Kobayashi, revealed that our beloved character Ashito Aoi’s story would reach its conclusion following the upcoming Barcelona match. As of then, we had just finished reading volume 38, and he graciously confirmed that there were still two more volumes to come! This much-loved sports manga will officially wrap up with the release of the 40th and final volume, set for May 2025. I can hardly wait to see how it all ends!

Ao Ashi is an engrossing tale that delves profoundly into character growth while maintaining a thrilling plotline. Initially, it was unexpected for the story to span across 40 volumes, leaving many feeling a sense of sadness upon its conclusion. However, there’s reason to rejoice as the anime adaptation will make a comeback with a new season, allowing fans to continue following Ashito’s remarkable quest to revolutionize Japanese football.

You can watch Season 1 of Ao Ashi on Crunchyroll.
