Netflix has renewed their remake of Our Life for a second season. The show is set to air in 2019. The renewal comes as a bit of a surprise, as the show had been in development for quite some time. However, it’s not clear when the show will actually air. It’s possible that Netflix decides to delay it until after the 2020 elections, in order to avoid any potential spoilers. Regardless of when the show airs, it’s safe to say that it will be pretty good. The cast has already been announced and they are all very talented. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
Hashiba begins to regret his life decisions when he looks at the achievements of his peers and wonders where he could have been if not for his poor life choices. When he wakes up one ordinary morning, the protagonist realizes that he has mysteriously traveled ten years in the past and now has the chance to do something about his future.
Based on Nachi Kio’s light novel series of the same name, the anime first premiered on July 3, 2021. The captivating storytelling did not go unnoticed, and the show soon garnered a decent global fan following. After the inconclusive ending of season 1, you may be wondering whether the show will return for another season or not. So, let’s have a look at everything we know about the second season of the slice-of-life anime.
When Will ‘Remake Our Life’ Season 2 Release?

As of this writing, there has been no official announcement about the renewal of the sequel or its cancellation.

Remake Our Life! manga/light novel series compared to the anime
The story for the anime is based on the Remake Our Life! light novel series by Nachi Kio and illustrator Eretto. Published by MF Bunko J since March 2017, the books are up to Volume 9 as of July 21, 2021.
In 2019, the original author launched a spin-off series called Bokutachi no Remake β. The story forgoes the time leap premise completely and instead has Kyouya struggling together with Eiko Kawasegawa in the video game industry. The spin-off book series was up to Volume 3 as of April 2021.
The original creator also teamed up with manga artist Bonjin Hirameki in 2018 for creating the Remake Our Life! manga adaptation. Serialized in Kodansha’s Suiyobi no Sirius magazine since November 2018, the manga ended on April 4, 2022. The manga will presumably be collected into seven volumes in total (Volume 6 came out in October 2021).
Unfortunately, an official English translation for North America hasn’t been announced yet for the original light novel series, the spin-off books, or the manga.
Typically when an anime is adapting a light novel series the dialogue and plot points will be condensed so that 3 to 5 books can be wedged into a single cour composed of 12 episodes. The original author was involved in the production so the anime managed to streamline the story while retaining the heart of the light novels. It even managed to expand on characterization while still trimming back in certain areas!
While it’s notable that the first episode was an hour-long special, what really stood out to fans of the light novel series is how the anime’s opening greatly fleshed out Kyouya’s character by showing his hard work ethic before the time leap. While that seems like anime-original material, it’s actually based on the prologue for the spinoff since it showed what happened to Kyouya if he didn’t make the time leap.
Due to this change, when Kyouya runs into Eiko Kawasegawa in the past he starts calling her Chief in the anime. Thus, the character’s introduction and Kyouya’s treatment of her were changed to reflect these timeline differences.
Speaking of the way Kyouya treated women, the anime greatly downplayed the romance subplots by skipping a lot of dialogue. Considering that romance really doesn’t become relevant until later books it made sense for the anime to focus on other plot elements with its limited runtime.
All in all, the first season’s finale, Bokutachi no Remake Episode 12, found a stopping point corresponding to light novel Volume 4.
It was the best stopping point since that book (and manga Chapter 26) introduced the major plot twist that Kyouya managed to achieve a relatively happy future for himself at the expense of his friends, including his wife Shinoaki, who were no longer considered the Platinum Generation of creators. So then he tried again for a truly happy ending albeit in the future. Without this plot twist and resulting conflict, the anime’s ending would have lacked solid plot resolution.
At the same time, it was surprising that the anime finished with a cliffhanger ending. Abruptly stopping after Kyouya confronts Tsurayuki is such a tease since the second season wasn’t immediately announced… which could be interpreted as a “go read the light novels” ending.
The good news is that there is plenty of source material for making Remake Our Life! Season 2. Light novel readers who wish to read ahead of the anime can jump to Volume 5.
The bad news is that English-only fans who wish to read ahead of the anime series will need to wait until an international publisher licenses the series.
Also, manga readers will need to wait for more chapters to release before reading ahead. As of Remake Our Life! Chapter 30 the manga was only caught up with the first half of Episode 11.
Bokurema Season 2 anime spoilers (plot summary/synopsis)
Kyouya’s mission is to regain the original future of the three friends who became the Platinum Generation before he mucked with the timeline with his time leap. This time Kyouya is coming back from 11 years in the future to recreate their lives.
In order to increase Shinoaki’s motivation to create as an artist, Kyouya approaches Minori Ayaka (Saikawa), the artist who would become a genius later in life but is now just a junior in the art department.
Another problem is that Tsurayuki Rokuonji dropped out of the university. In order to rescue him from a bleak future, Kyoya and Nanako Kogure decided to head to Kawagoe, where Tsurayuki’s parents’ house is located.
There will also be a school festival and the art club decides to host a cosplay cafe. Then somehow Kawasegawa becomes involved?!
Plus, there’s the lingering mystery of the pink-haired loli Keiko Tomioka. Does she know about Kyouya’s time traveling?
In the midst of romantic comedy developments with the heroines, what kind of results will Kyouya’s determination and decisions bring for everyone around him?
