Wotakoi Season Count and Streaming Details
The short answer is one anime season with eleven episodes, plus a couple of bundled OVAs. No second season has been greenlit. Here is the breakdown of what exists, what you are looking at, and where you can actually stream it without region locks getting in the way. The anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures ran from January to March 2018. It covers roughly the first twenty or so chapters of Inio Kosaka's manga. The thirteen total runtime includes the base season and two bonus episodes that come attached to the manga volumes. I know because I went back and forth trying to figure out exactly which disc had which episode when I was first watching it, and the packaging is not exactly intuitive. The second OVA is technically separate from the main season, so don't skip it. Where to watch:
- Crunchyroll has the series licensed and streaming in most regions. This is the most straightforward option.
- Netflix carries it in select territories including the United States and parts of Europe, but licensing changes frequently and it gets pulled sometimes. Check your local version.
- Hulu has it available in the US as well.
The manga itself continues past the anime coverage. If you want to know whether a second season is coming, there is no official announcement as of right now. The source material has enough left to support another season, but the manga ended its serialization and there has been no word from the production committee. I have seen forums speculate about a sequel every six months or so, usually triggered by some vague rumor that turns out to be nothing. One thing people often miss is that the live-action drama adaptation exists. It stars Toma Ikuta and Moka Kamishiraishi and aired on TBS in 2016 before the anime even existed. It covers different plot points and has a different tone than the anime. If someone tells you the drama is worse than the anime, that is a fair take but not really the point. It is just separate content set up differently. I watched it in a different language than the anime so I had to adjust my expectations, and it is worth noting that the drama condenses a lot of the character development into different beats. For subtitles and dub availability, Crunchyroll offers both Japanese audio with subtitles and an English dub. The dub is serviceable. The voice cast is solid, though some longtime fans prefer the subtitled version because the timing on certain comedic lines lands differently in translation. I went subtitled for the first viewing and dub for a rewatch. Both work fine. Pick whichever fits your attention span.
There is no official simulcast going forward since there is only one season, so you do not have to wait for new episodes. You can start watching now without worrying about missing anything. The series is a self-contained story that wraps up its main romantic arcs, though it leaves certain character dynamics open-ended in a way that some people find unsatisfying. That is just how the ending goes. I found it fine after I stopped expecting a traditional finale structure. If you are on a tight budget, Crunchyroll offers a free tier with ads. The premium tier removes them and adds offline downloads. I recommend premium if you plan to binge since the ads cut into the flow significantly. The episodes themselves are short at about twenty-two minutes each, so the whole thing takes roughly three hours to get through.
