The fall 2018 anime adaptation of the mobile game Renai Bakumatsu Kareshi: Toki no Kanata de Hanasaku Koi is getting a second cour now that the first one has wrapped up. The end of the season last night revealed that a second season is coming with plans for it to air in 2019. No date was set for it and we expect Crunchyroll will stream it like they did the first, but we’ll hazard it as a part of the spring season.
