The continuation of the popular BL drama series "Koi wo Suru Nara Nidome ga Joto" (English title: "Love Is Better the Second Time Around") has received an official start date. The second season, titled "Koi wo Suru Nara Nidome ga Joto season2," will air on September 1, 2026, in the MBS/TBS "Dramaism" timeslot. This was announced by the broadcaster on July 8, 2026.
The lead actors Hasegawa Makoto (member of the dance-and-vocal group THE RAMPAGE) and Furuya Robin will reprise their roles as Miyata Akihiro and Iwanaga Takashi. The story picks up two years after the happy ending of the first season. Miyata and Iwanaga now live together and enjoy their fulfilling relationship. However, when Iwanaga publicly states in a magazine interview that he has found an "important person," things begin to waver. His ex-boyfriends reappear, and Miyata is plagued by jealousy and insecurity. The second season promises a "stormy jealousy story" in which the two protagonists must once again put their love to the test.
To build anticipation for the new season, a teaser visual has also been released, showing the two lead actors in a familiar but more mature pose. Additionally, a fan meeting will take place on August 27, 2026, at the Great Hall of the Sugina-mi Kokaido in Tokyo. The event, themed "Koi wo Suru Nara Nidome ga Joto season2 – Fan Meeting Just Before Broadcast," will feature Hasegawa and Furuya appearing together. Planned activities include the world's first advance screening of the first episode as well as interactive segments showcasing the duo's growing friendship.
The advance ticket sales phase for the fan meeting began on July 8 on the mahocast platform and runs until July 19. Tickets will be allocated via lottery.
The creative team remains faithful to the first season: Direction is once again handled by Yasukawa Yuka, known for dramas such as "Ayashii Partner" and the film "Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru." The screenplay is written by Funabiki Shinju, who previously demonstrated her skills in "Jack Frost" and "Taikan Yoho." The music is composed by Koyama Erina. Attorney Kawamoto Mimano serves as the LGBTQ consultant.
The series is based on the manga of the same name by Kinoshita Keiko, which was serialized from 2018 to 2022 in the magazine "Chara Selection" published by Tokuma Shoten. The first season, which aired in 2024, gained a large fan base both in Japan and internationally. Broadcast schedule overview: MBS from September 1 (Tuesdays at 24:59, first episode from 25:04), TBS from September 1 (Tuesdays at 25:26, first episode from 25:31). After the TBS broadcast, the episode will be available for free for one week on TVer.
