This is the current information available for Hyakushō Kizoku (also known as The Peasant Noble) Season 2. The first season debuted on Tokyo MX on July 7, consisting of 12 episodes, each approximately four minutes in length. While it has not been officially confirmed, it is likely that Season 2 will adhere to the same format.

Hyakushō Kizoku plot

The plot details for Hyakushō Kizoku Season 2 are not available at the moment. Nevertheless, considering that Season 1 portrayed Arakawa’s life as a farmer in Hokkaido for seven years after graduating from agricultural school and before becoming a manga artist, it is probable that Season 2 will follow a similar theme.

Cast and crew

Coming from a long line of farmers, her experiences on the family farm greatly impacted her creation of the widely-loved Silver Spoon manga, a series that delves into the lives of students in an agricultural school.

We currently do not have the official cast and crew for Season 2. Season 1 was produced by Pie in the Sky Studios and directed by Yutaro Sawada of Inui-san!. Character design and animation direction were handled by Ayana Matsumoto. The anime's ending theme song, "Cyan Innocence," was performed by FRAM.

The cast for Season 1 includes:

Mutsumi Tamura as Hiromu Arakawa

Mariko Honda as Ishii-san

Shigeru Chiba as Oyaji-dono

Kujira as Okan

Limited information is available about Season 2, but more details are expected in 2024. It is speculated to premiere in the Summer on the Tokyo MX channel, with the international streaming platform still undisclosed. Similar to Season 1, a DVD copy is anticipated to be released shortly after the series ends.

Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of Hyakushō Kizoku, I am thrilled to hear about the upcoming Season 2. The first season was a delightful slice-of-life comedy that offered a heartwarming glimpse into the life of Hiromu Arakawa, the creator of the beloved manga series Silver Spoon. The anime's charming characters and engaging storytelling left me eagerly anticipating more, and I can't wait to see what Season 2 has in store.

I particularly appreciate the autobiographical nature of Hyakushō Kizoku, as it provides a unique perspective on the life of a manga artist. Arakawa's experiences as a farmer greatly influenced her work, and it is fascinating to see how her rural upbringing shaped her storytelling. The anime also offers a glimpse into the daily life of a farming community, showcasing the challenges and rewards of agricultural work. I believe that Season 2 will continue to explore these themes in a heartwarming and humorous manner, making it a must-watch for fans of the first season and newcomers alike.
