The second season will feature an original story, with Benzō and Sōji’s newly founded gang aiming to be the best in Edo.
The official website of the live-action series of Natsume Ono’s Futagashira manga revealed on Thursday that the show’s second season will premiere on WOWOW Prime in September.
The two are returning to work on the second season, and Ryō Yoshida will also serve as director alongside Irie.
After Shogakukan suspended publication of Monthly Ikki in 2014, Futagashira resumed publication in Shogakukan’s new magazine Hibana starting in March last year.
