Tsugumomo [Season 2 Episode 1 to Episode 12]

Tsugumomo Season 2: A Wild Ride of Supernatural Chaos and Fan Reactions

If you’re a fan of supernatural action with a side of ecchi humor, Tsugumomo’s second season, Tsugu Tsugumomo, is a rollercoaster you won’t want to miss. Picking up right where the first season left off, this 12-episode arc dives deeper into the bizarre world of Kagami Kazuya and his fiery tsugumomo partner, Kiriha. Produced by studio Zero-G and airing from April to June 2020, the season delivers everything fans loved about the original—intense battles, quirky characters, and just enough fan service to keep things spicy.

But what do fans really think? Let’s break it down.

The Plot: More Than Just a Pretty (Obi) Sash

Season 2 follows Kazuya and Kiriha as they form a supernatural consultation group to tackle the increasing number of amasogi incidents—supernatural disturbances caused by objects possessed by spirits. The stakes are higher, the fights are flashier, and the character dynamics get even more chaotic.

One of the biggest talking points among fans is how the anime balances its tone. On one hand, it’s packed with over-the-top action sequences and beautifully animated fight scenes (props to Zero-G for the fluid choreography). On the other, it doesn’t shy away from its ecchi roots, with plenty of cheeky moments that either make you laugh or roll your eyes—depending on your tolerance for fan service.

A MyAnimeList user summed it up perfectly:

“At first I thought it was just some mediocre ecchi series, but unexpectedly it’s actually pretty good. The cliffhanger made me wanna read the manga too.”

And that’s the thing—Tsugumomo manages to be more than the sum of its parts. The supernatural lore is surprisingly deep, and the emotional beats hit harder than expected.

Fan Reactions: Love, Hate, and Manga Comparisons

The season’s reception is a mixed bag, but one thing’s clear: it left fans hungry for more.

The Good:

• Animation & Action: Fans praised the fight scenes, especially the blend of 2D and 3D techniques that give battles a dynamic feel.
• Character Growth: Kiriha’s development as a tsugumomo and Kazuya’s gradual acceptance of his role as her partner resonated with viewers.
• Humor: The show’s self-aware comedy landed well, with one fan joking: “Well, she’s flatter than a pancake.” (We see you, Mimi Alpacas.)

The Not-So-Good:

• Pacing Issues: Some felt the anime rushed through certain arcs, leading to confusion for non-manga readers.
• Fan Service Overload: While many enjoy the ecchi elements, others found them distracting. One fan quipped: “Complex stories are basically sleeping pills. Helps to get some sleep.” Ouch.

The biggest debate? Where to pick up the manga after Episode 12. The consensus? Start at Chapter 72, but don’t skip Chapter 71—it includes some juicy details the anime skipped.

Final Verdict: Worth the Hype?

If you’re here for a mix of supernatural action, comedy, and a dash of risqué humor, Tsugu Tsugumomo delivers. It’s not perfect—some pacing issues and fan service might turn off purists—but it’s a fun, wild ride that leaves you wanting more.

And judging by the fan reactions, the manga is the next logical step. As one user put it:

“Man, I started at chapter 72 and caught up to the latest in 2 days. Talk about an easy read.”

So, grab your popcorn (and maybe a cold shower), and dive in. Just don’t blame us if you end up binge-reading the manga afterward.

Rating: 7.5/10 – Flawed but fiercely entertaining.
