Studio feel.'s coming-of-age drama is coming back for its second half: Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle (*Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka*) confirmed Part 2 debuts in October 2026, per Anime News Network. Part 1 aired through a bumpy schedule from October 2025 into spring 2026, so a firm fall slot is welcome news for anyone who stuck with it.
Quick answer
Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle is a coming-of-age drama from studio feel., adapting the light novel by Hiromu with art by raemz. Part 2 debuts in October 2026. Director Yūji Tokuno leads, with Naruhisa Arakawa on series composition, Sumie Kinoshita on character designs, and Yoshiaki Fujisawa scoring. Set in Fukui prefecture, it follows popular student Chitose Saku as he tries to coax a withdrawn classmate back into the world.
Where it comes from
The source is Hiromu and raemz's light novel series, which debuted in June 2019, with a manga adaptation by Bobcat. It's a quieter school drama than the season's louder genre picks — more interested in social dynamics and small-town Fukui texture than spectacle. A collaboration event with Fukui prefecture runs August 21 through November 8, 2026, timed to the new episodes.
Calendar slot
Part 1 premiered October 7, 2025 and hit production delays — episode 6 slipped from November to December, and the final episodes landed at the end of March 2026. An October 2026 debut for Part 2 gives the studio a full cour of runway. On SenpaiRanks, the show's position on the seasonal drama board is one to watch as new episodes land.
