The anime adaptation of the light novel "Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka" (English: "Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle") has released a new key visual for the second cour. The artwork shows protagonist Saku Chitose at the center, surrounded by the heroines Yuko Hiiragi, Yua Uchida, Haru Aomi, Yuzuki Nanase, and Asuka Nishino. According to the production team, a dynamic composition has been created, depicting the characters in motion. The second cour will air from October 2026; in the week before the start, a recap episode 13.5 is also scheduled, summarizing the story so far.
Parallel to the new key visual, a music project begins in which the five heroines cover well-known youth songs. The opening track is "Ao to Natsu" (Japanese: éăšć€, literally "Blue and Summer") by Mrs. GREEN APPLE.
