It’s been a while since the anime ended, and fans have begun to doubt its future. Luckily, there’s finally some hope for Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2. The popular anime series came out in 2017 and ran for a total of ten episodes. An OVA episode premiered soon after. Since then, the studio is yet to make any official announcements. Will it ever return. Here’s everything you need to know.
Recovery Of An MMO Junkie or Net-juu no Susume originated as a manga series by Rin Kokuyō. It began back in 2013 and ran for two volumes consisting of 87 chapters. The last manga volume came out in 2015, and since then, the series went on a long hiatus. As of early 2020, we can finally see the possibility of the manga and anime’s return.
Recovery Of An MMO Junkie: Manga Revival!
Comico web magazine announced that the series would go on a hiatus after 2015. Since then, none of the manga chapters have ever come out. The main reason behind the same was manga writer Rin Kokuyō’s health. Sadly, by 2018, Comico confirmed that Kokuyō would be needing some rest and would not be able to continue the manga any further. Hence, the manga series was officially canceled by the producers.
Since 2015, Kokuyō has kept away from the press and social media. While it currently isn’t clear if Kokuyō is getting better, but the writer recently came back on Twitter. Back in January 2019, the writer posted a few tweets apologizing for the cancelation of the manga. After that, Kokuyō returned on social media in December 2019. Since then, the manga developer has been posting regularly.

This hints that Kokuyō’s health is finally improving. If everything goes fine, the writer may as well pick up writing mangas again. Hence, chances for the revival of Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2 are pretty high currently. However, Kokuyō may take some time to get comfortable in writing again.
Will ‘Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2’ Ever Come Out?
Due to the cancelation of the manga series, possibilities for the anime sequel narrowed. Animation studio Signal.MD did not have any source material left to develop a full installment. Hence, the anime series went on a long hiatus as well. The only way ‘Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2’ could release is by the revival of the manga series.
Fortunately, the manga writer is finally getting better. In case, Kokuyō’s health improves more than the current situation, they may begin writing the manga again. Moreover, as soon as the manga is revived, Signal.MD may order another installment of the popular anime.
The debut season of the anime series turned out to be a huge success for the studio. Alongside high viewership, the show also increased the sales of the manga volumes. In fact, the anime was loved by fans and critics alike. Even after three years, the demands for a second installment are still touching the sky. Hence, Signal.MD would take no time to renew the series once they get enough source material. The revival of Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2 can actually turn out to be a profitable deal for the production.
Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2: Release Date
The animation studio is yet to announce an official renewal of the isekai anime. Since the return of anime adaptation depends upon the manga, fans will have to wait until its release. As of now, Rin Kokuyō may take a while to resume writing the manga. Moreover, the writer will still take a year or two to develop enough manga chapters to create a full season.
According to current situations, Recovery Of An MMO Junkie Season 2 may not return anytime sooner than 2022 or 2023. However, we promise to keep you updated as soon as the news arrives.
