If you thought being the most popular waifu at school meant your love life was sorted, you haven’t met Mona Kawai’s struggles. To romantic comedy fans’ delight, the official website for Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms (Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsujinai) has launched with the first trailer and promotional image for its eagerly awaited second season. The preview shows that the comedy level and desperate courtship attempts remain intact.

The main duo returns to the romantic battlefield

To ensure the chemistry and frustration feel as real as in the first season we saw early in 2025, the production committee confirmed the return of the story’s two pillars. Their incredible performances make this gem possible, so the seiyuus confirmed for the new episodes are:

• Ryota Iwasaki as Medaka Kuroiwa.
  Known for Inasa Yoarashi in My Hero Academia and Toma in WIND BREAKER, showcasing his stoic monk persona.
• Yu Serizawa as Mona Kawai.
  Recognized for Shera L. Greenwood in How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord and Kaname Arisugawa in TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You.

Strategic changes in the production team

Studio Synergy SP takes the reins of animation again under director Yoshiaki Okumura, ensuring the visual style and pacing remain faithful to what captivated audiences. However, there’s fresh talent in the office: Yoriko Tomita joins to handle scripts, promising a fresh touch to the story development without losing the essence of Ran Kuze‘s original manga, which has already reached an impressive 24 published volumes.

The staff is further strengthened with new talents in key areas. Shinichiro Nagano takes charge of photography, while Hiroki Matsumoto leads as art director, ensuring Mona’s adorable frustrated expressions and romantic tension moments look better than ever on screen.

Synopsis of Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms

Mona Kawai is the cutest and most popular girl at school, and she knows it. She’s used to being the center of attention and having everyone fall for her with just a smile. However, her ego takes a critical hit when Medaka Kuroiwa arrives—a transfer student who turns out to be an aspiring Buddhist monk with strict rules about chastity and female contact. No matter how Mona uses all her charms, flirting, and cute poses, Medaka remains steadfast, closing his eyes or reciting sutras to resist temptation. What starts as a simple whim to make him fall for her soon becomes an obsessive and fun romantic back-and-forth war.

Can Mona break the will of steel of the aspiring monk in this new season?
