While we’ve known about a second season since last September and have talked about the upcoming OVA, things are coming together a bit more in Japan when it comes to the second season as the official site has opened at http://maken-ki-two.com/. While the first season was produced by AIC for its animation, Xebec is stepping in this time around but it has a lot of familiar people working on it as Hiraku Kaneko is directing based on the script by Yousuke Kuroda and using character designs by Akio Takami. As noted previously when talking about the anime being bundled with the upcoming manga release, this is the team that’s working on that.
FUNimation simulcast the series in 2011 and picked up the home video rights, unreleased as of this writing, in the summer of 2012.
Plot Concept: Based on the manga series by Hiromitsu Takeda, this romantic comedy is about Takeru Ohyama, a typical perverted teenage boy. His new school doesn’t require entrance exams, and it just turned co-ed! Unfortunately, his dreams of a happy high school life are dashed when he finds out the school is much more than it seems. All of the students wield a special item—a Maken—to unleash their magical abilities in duels! Can Takeru find a Maken that works for him? Even while trying to fit in at a new school and dealing with all kinds of girl problems?
