The Dangers in My Heart Ends, but No Sequel Announced

The final episode of the second season of "The Dangers in My Heart (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu)", one of the most popular and highest-rated series of the Winter-2024 (January-March) season, aired today. The work of Shin-Ei Animation studios has been widely praised by fans, who appreciated the good adaptation work and the consistent quality that was delivered with each of the episodes.

This final episode was accompanied by an illustration by author Norio Sakurai, who wrote:

• "Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for watching the first and second seasons of the anime "The Dangers in My Heart". I would also like to thank and congratulate all the team members, the cast, the artists and everyone who participated. Thank you very much for this valuable experience. This work started with the idea that it would be great if something like this happened somewhere in the world. I would be happy to be able to shed some light on Ichikawa and Yamada around the world. The original work, or rather the lives of the two of them, has only just begun, so please follow the original work with love. See you!"

Although there was no announcement of a third season, fans on social media claim that this is due to the fact that there is no longer enough content (so far) to produce a continuation. This second season adapted up to Chapter 113 of the original manga, and has currently been published up to Chapter 141. While it can be argued that "an anime takes about three years to produce," the committee can't risk starting a production without enough content, since the manga could be discontinued at any time.

And of course, the comments of Internet users were not long in coming:

• "Ah, this is the perfect ending. I really wouldn't want it to have a third season."
• "Weren't they already dating? How come there was hardly a confession?"
• "No matter how you look at it, it's totally unreal for a girl like Yamada to notice someone like Ichikawa."
• "There's no trace of the old Yamada in the current one, it's just a sex object today."
• "It was a good final episode, extremely cute. I think it would be a good end to the whole project, that it doesn't continue."
• "Oh, there won't be a third season, but I'm satisfied."
• "It doesn't look like there's going to be a third season."
• "It was a good final episode and the closing was wonderful."
• "It was a pretty perfect anime, I loved it."
• "The final episode felt like a movie to me, it was spectacular."
• "With the rest of the manga, there would only be one film left to produce."
• "It will probably be several years before the original manga moves forward and accumulates new chapters, so this is the perfect ending."
