It’s always interesting to see which shows eventually get the nod for another round and Maken-Ki! is one I can’t exactly say I was expecting. The first season of the series finished out at the end of December 2011 with twelve episodes and now it’ll be coming back for a second season according to the October issue of Dragon Age magazine. The series is based on the manga by Hiromitsu Takeda. FUNimation simulcast the first season and announced this summer that they picked up the home video rights for it as well with plans for a 2013 release. No details are available yet but it’s expected the majority of the crew and cast will return for the second outing.
Plot Concept: Based on the manga series by Takeda Hiromitsu, this romantic comedy is about Ohyama Takeru, 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?
