Crunchyroll to stream Medaka Kuroiwa season 2 in January 2027

Crunchyroll confirmed that the second season of Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms will arrive in January 2027 as a simulcast. Before that, the series will have a premiere screening at Anime Frontier, the event held in Fort Worth, Texas, on December 6 of this year.

The gap of more than a year since the first batch of episodes, which premiered in January 2025, gives the production time to work without the pressure of the previous schedule. The Texas screening will serve as a preview for American audiences months before the official premiere.

A streaming deal that covers almost the whole map

The streaming deal covers North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and the CIS. Practically the whole map where Crunchyroll operates regularly, although the company has not detailed specific dates per country within that January window.

The Anime Frontier screening won't be the only one of the day: it shares space with premieres of the third season of Shangri-La Frontier and Fate Rewinder.

Changes in the creative team

Yoshiaki Okumura returns to direct at studio SynergySP. Mayumi Watanabe keeps character design duties and Akiyuki Tateyama stays on music, while Yoriko Tomita takes over series composition from Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. The continuity, then, is partial.

There are also changes in photography, with Shinichirō Nagano replacing Tetsuya Nishimura, and in art direction, where Hiroki Matsumoto takes over from Masakazu Miyake. Aiko Yamagami handles color and Nozomi Nakatani shares sound direction with Noriyoshi Konuma.

On the voice side, Ryōta Iwasaki and Yū Serizawa return as Medaka Kuroiwa and Mona Kawai. The story follows Mona, the most popular girl in school, frustrated because her charms don't work on a stoic classmate raised in a temple who was warned to stay away from women.

The Ran Kuze manga behind the series

Ran Kuze's original began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in May 2021, after a one-shot published in the same magazine in December 2020. Volume 26 hit Japanese bookstores on October 16, and the first one had come out in August 2021.

Kodansha USA publishes the work in English, both digitally and in print. The first season of the anime premiered in January 2025 and Crunchyroll streamed it as a simulcast, also producing an English dub.

For now there is no exact day within January 2027 or confirmed episode count. What is set is the immediate calendar: on December 6 it's time to see how Mona behaves on the big screen before the season officially kicks off.
