Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Season 2 Predictions: What's the content?

hello!! this is going to be a season 2 speculation, meaning none of this is official info. this is all based off of opinions for what i think was going to happen. for those of you who haven't read the manga, i advise you do not read this. please read the manga first since this post will contain major spoilers! this will be a long post so beware haha

Table of Contents:

Season 1 overview

Studio and animation quality

Where the anime left off and where it will pick up (and overview)

Season 1 Overview

okay, so the span of season one was 12 episodes, covering up until volume 8 (excluding young exorcist) before tanabata arc in episode order of the following:

1.) Hanako-san of the Bathroom

2.) Yousei-san (The Faeireis)

3.) Misaki Stairs Pt. 1

4.) Misaki Stairs Pt. 2

5.) Confession Tree

6.) The 4 PM Bookstacks

7.) Donuts (referring to the chapter where Nene and Kou make donuts for Hanako and Tsukasa appears

8.) Mitsuba (referring to Mitsubas debut)

9.) Tea Party

10.) Hell of Mirrors Pt. 1

11.) Hell of Mirrors Pt. 2

12.) Little Mermaid

the anime adaptation was not the same as the manga, as they skipped a few scenes from chapters including young exorcist. my prediction for why they did this is because if they did go in order of the manga, the anime would end in the middle of the clock keepers, which wouldn't be a good decision. the little mermaid was a good option for the season finale since it was some comical relief for the characters, nothing too special going to happen. i get what people are angry about for skipping an important character arc for kou and hanako, but being rational here i dont think it was important to the story in general. 

one more thing, we notice that each episode with at least 3+ chapters have recieved 2 episodes. one with -2 have only one episode. those episodes with 2 pts beings misaki stairs, mitsuba, and hell of mirrors.

Studio and animation quality

i believe lerche will continue to work on jibaku shounen hanako-kun. they were the ones who animated it, with the budget to make it. we saw the animation of the anime dropped at episode 3. i believe because one: they could've started animating that episode when the corona started getting more serious and rushed it, or they were probably.....just lazy. that is possible because of the way the danganronpa animation was made. but i do believe if we get another season, the animation quality will improve from the first season!

Where the anime left off and where it will pick up

season one ended at the scene where, excluding the Yashiro and Hanako part, Kou promises Mitsuba to save him from Tsukasa

this is the start of chapter 36 (or 37), where nene invites him to the star festival. now let's think about it: what the mokke give kou from nene is summer vegetables, not something she baked like what happened in the manga. we also know that the manga skipped the part after hanako trying to apologize to nene (in which he miserably fails). now the real question: will the anime skip the tanabata arc? my answer is going to be no thank GOD. reason is that number one: it follows up the clock keepers arc, and two is that we have some key evidence for past amane and hints on tsukasa. there are many theories out there that lead to believe that hanako remembers nene, which is also a supportive reason. i also believe tanabata will take up the span of two (or one? because ig its kinda weird to have a pt 1 pt 2 at the start of a season haha) episodes.

okay next, clock keepers arc. my bet is that is has to at LEAST have 3 episodes. in the arc, there are 5 chapters in all. in season one, all episodes that were adapted had no more than 3 chapters, which like i said adapted into 2 parts.

now we have the searching arc, which consists of two chapters. i believe this will most likely come after clock keepers arc, with the span of a full or half of an episode. its a good way for redemption after finding out that you know, yashiro is gonna die

now, we were supposed to have hell of mirrors after this, but that was part of season one. i believe this is because they're going to put fake world after this. how will it play out? well i mean, there's still mokke of the dead arc! it'll be a good placeholder for the show if they still have some empty space.

so far with all of those, we're at 5-6 episodes. moving on!

after mokke of the dead, we have PP arc! which lasted...about 19 chapters. thats about what, 6 episodes? honestly i think pp arc would be better off getting a move haha. there's a lot that happens within that arc, so they can't possibly cut anything out. if we did add fake world arc to the episode list, that would result in 12 episodes, meaning the arc would end on them returning home.

with all of this in mind, this is how i think the order of the episodes will run:

Star Festival Pt. 1

Star Festival Pt. 2

Mokke of the Dead

Clock Keepers Pt. 1

Clock Keepers Pt. 2

Searching

Fake World Pt. 1

Fake World Pt. 2

Fake World Pt. 3

Fake World Pt. 4

Fake World Pt. 5

Fake World Pt. 6

honestly this is HIGHLY unlikely but you know, it's more reasonable since there is going to be a lot of major things going on in the season.

Broadcast

okay, season one broadcasted from January 9th 2020 - March 27th 2020 in the winter season. taking some different animes into account, kaguya sama love is war broadcasted in winter 2019 along with the promised neverland. with love is war s2 now airing in spring 2020, and promised neverland originally set for october 2020, i think we can predict that s2 might come at spring/summer 2021.

thanks for reading this long and probably useless post,,
