When Is the Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle Part 2 Premiere Date?
The second cour of Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle is officially scheduled to broadcast in October 2026. Following the completion of the first part, studio feel. confirmed that the split-cour strategy allows the creative staff extra production time to maintain cinematic quality for the upcoming story arcs.

What Is the Plot of Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle?
Set against the scenic backdrop of Fukui Prefecture, the narrative centers on Saku Chitose, a top-tier student at Fujishi High School. Unlike traditional romantic comedy protagonists who start out as social outcasts, Saku is extremely popular, athletic, intelligent, and charismatic. He leads an enviable inner circle of attractive friends known around campus as “Team Chitose”.
Saku’s comfortable life takes a dramatic turn when an authority figure tasks him with bringing Kenta Yamazaki, a shut-in classmate who isolated himself from society, back into school. As Saku works to rehabilitate Kenta, his own carefully constructed world, hidden vulnerabilities, and internal conflicts begin to surface, challenging what it truly means to be a hero in high school society.
