Gakuen Babysitters Season 2 Release Date
The final episode of the anime’s first season aired four years ago and fans of the show have been waiting ever since for the renewal of a new season. The first season of Gakuen Babysitters was extremely popular due to its fresh and wholesome concept.
The series was based on the first five volumes of the manga with several components being left out and as long as the manga continues to run there can always be a second season. That being said the manga does have enough content to create a fully-fleshed out season and it’s most likely a new season will drop once the production company decides to do so. However, as of now, there is no news regarding it.
