Welcome back! Skip and Loafer! Season 2!!! A lot has happened since the anime ended. There were times when I felt overwhelmed by my own helplessness. But when I opened the book, Mitsumi and the others were there. They laughed, worried, faced each other, and tried their best to find the words. In season 1, Mitsumi and the others spent spring and autumn, and their feelings and relationships became deeper and more complicated. In season 2, I would like to accompany Mitsumi and the others, moving their hearts in many ways. Please look forward to it!
Yonaiyama Yoko (Series Compostion)
