Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! Ends without announcing sequel

The final episode of the anime adaptation of "Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!" was broadcast today, however, despite the constant popularity of the project both inside and outside Japan, not only because of the spectacular animation of the A-1 Pictures studios but also because of the narrative quality and personality of each of the characters, No announcement of a sequel was made towards closure.

Interestingly, fans were not entirely surprised by the absence of this announcement, especially since the final episode had a completely original story, something rarely seen within the industry. Generally the original episodes go halfway through the broadcast to be as an "intermission" and separate two story arcs, but the fact that it was a closing episode already gave bad clues.

Still, it is evident that the anime adaptation has been tremendously popular, a fact that is not only reflected in the volume of sales and Blu-ray reservations, so it will surely be a matter of time before the long-awaited sequel arrives.

Despite not understanding much about fleeting romances between teenagers, high school freshman Kazuhiko Nukumizu still wonders how he would react if his life turned into a love story. Still, as a self-proclaimed "background character," Nukumizu is content to continue his life as an introvert with an insignificant social life. However, she suddenly finds herself too close to the spotlight when she witnesses her popular classmate Anna Yanami being rejected by her childhood friend in the middle of a family restaurant.

While Nukumizu wishes to forget what she has seen and move on, Anna ends up forcibly trusting Nukumizu, lamenting her status as a childhood friend doomed to have her beloved stolen. Swept up in Anna's situation, Nukumizu soon becomes embroiled in the sentimental drama of two other girls: Lemon Yakishio, an outgoing member of the athletic club, and Chika Komari, a shy member of the literature club. Nukumizu steps out of her comfort zone and becomes an important character in the lives of too many losing heroines.
