One of Rumiko Takahashi’s most beloved series is back with the Ranma ½ reboot, and fans are happy to know that a second season is already underway. While fans thought they would have to wait until the later part of the year for Ranma and Akane to make a return, the release window may have been revealed to be much closer.
According to fan account @ramu_animes, the second season of Ranma could be coming out this April. Here’s the post:

Since this isn’t the official page, it’s best to take this with a grain of salt, but an April release does seem realistic—depending on how far the series was into production by the time the first season aired.
We don’t know how far the second season is going to go when it comes to the story, but it has been teased that Shampoo’s own suitor Mousse is going to be making an appearance. With Shampoo also leaving for China by the end of the first season, it’s very likely that the second season will feature her comeback and one more inconvenient curse for Ranma.
So far, reception for the anime has been great, and new generation of fans are now getting into the world of Ranma ½. Though the original anime is considered a cult classic, the reboot has been lauded for being more fair in its portrayal of Akane—who manga-readers thought was made too mean in the original manga.
Plus, the reboot isn’t as sexed up as the original anime, which a lot of loyal manga fans thought was an huge improvement.
The second season of Ranma ½ is allegedly coming back this April.
