See you again. Tokyo 20XX. Sayonara. But there’s no action on it.
The reason for the delay in the second season might be the lack of content. A total of 6 volumes are available for the show from which four volumes are already included in season 1. The remaining 2 volumes might not be able to provide enough content for the whole season.
