So, you're wondering about Kiss Him, Not Me!, right? That adorable, quirky anime about a girl who loves BL (boys' love) and suddenly becomes super popular after losing weight? The question on everyone's lips: How many seasons are there?
Prepare yourselves, because the answer might surprise you! You see, Kiss Him, Not Me! only has one season.
One and Done? What?!
Yep, that's right. Despite its popularity and the passionate fanbase, Kiss Him, Not Me! wrapped things up after just one season. Thirteen episodes to be exact!
It's a bit of a head-scratcher, isn't it? The show was a hit. It had a unique premise. Everyone was rooting for Kae Serinuma and her potential suitors!
Why Only One Season?
Honestly, the exact reasons for the lack of a second season are shrouded in mystery. Sometimes, anime adaptations cover the necessary source material and call it a day. Other times, production companies have different priorities.
Maybe the anime caught up with the manga and the creators decided to wait for more chapters. Or perhaps they felt that the ending provided a satisfying conclusion, even if it left some viewers wanting more. We can only speculate!
But the Manga Continues!
Here's the good news! If you're craving more Kiss Him, Not Me!, the manga is your lifeline. The anime adapted a significant portion of the story, but the manga goes further.
You'll get to see even more of Kae's hilarious antics and her interactions with Mutsumi-senpai, Igarashi-kun, Nanashima-kun, and Shinomiya-kun.
The Beauty of a Complete Story (Almost!)
While a second season would have been amazing, there's something to be said for a concise, well-told story. Kiss Him, Not Me! managed to pack a lot of humor, heart, and surprisingly poignant moments into its thirteen episodes.
It explored themes of self-acceptance, finding beauty in unexpected places, and the complexities of attraction. It even poked fun at otaku culture in a loving and relatable way!
Don't Despair! Embrace the Manga!
So, while there may be only one season of the Kiss Him, Not Me! anime, the fun doesn't have to end there. Pick up the manga and dive back into Kae's world!
You'll get to see the story unfold in its entirety. Plus, you'll discover even more hilarious and heartwarming moments that didn't make it into the anime.
Remember, the journey with Kae Serinuma is more than just an anime; it's an exploration of self-discovery and the joy of finding what makes you happy, even if it involves shipping fictional boys!
Who knows, maybe someday we'll get a reboot or a continuation. But until then, let's cherish the one amazing season we have and delve into the wonderful world of the manga. Happy reading (and shipping)!
