On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written by Hazuki Takeoka and illustrated by tiv, Masamune-kun no revenge (Masamune-kun’s revenge) a promotional video was released officially announcing the production of a second season of the project. The video also confirms that the series will be titled “Masamune-kun no Revenge R“, but does not reveal the production details or the premiere date.
April Fool’s joke in Japan announcing a third season (although the second did not yet exist) had already indicated that “There was a real ad behind it‘ and that’s exactly what it was. Again, as of the publication date of this ad in Japan, it is no longer an April Fool’s joke, so this is a real ad.
For their part, Takeoka and Tiv began publishing the manga in the magazine Monthly Comic Rex from the publisher ichijinsha in October 2012 and they finished it in June 2018. The publisher has compiled the work into a total of ten volumes. A special chapter focusing on the lives of Masamune and Aki after the events at the end of the story was released in Japan in August 2020. The manga inspired a studio-produced 12-episode anime adaptation. SILVER LINKLed by Mirai Minato and scripts written by Michiko Yokotepublished in January 2017.
Synopsis for Masamune-kun no Revenge
As a child, Masamune Makabe was shunned by a rich and beautiful girl named Aki Adagaki, who nicknamed him “little pig” because of his fat boyish looks. Seeking revenge, Masamune works hard to better himself and returns as an incredibly handsome but narcissistic high school student. When he encounters Aki again, he is ready for revenge. With the help of Aki’s servant Yoshino Koiwai, Masamune slowly begins to build his relationship with Aki, with the intention of breaking her heart when the time comes. However, as his friendship with Aki begins to grow, Masamune begins to question the aims of his devious plans and whether this is what his heart really desires.
