The first season is rated 8.36/10 on My Anime List. Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 is produced by Studio Bind. Here’s all that you need to know about the upcoming release!

Are there any Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 leaks?

The undisputed, one of the best titles of 2021, Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation Season 1 has come to an end. It has been only a few days that fans are getting restless to hear about the renewals for Season 2. Though it has not been officially confirmed by Studio Bind, EGG FIRM or Kadokawa, but leaks have their own way to sneak into the internet.

One of the reliable ‘leaker’ “SugoiLITE” tweeted early in May 2021 that “TV anime “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation” Seasons 2 & 3 are currently in production.”

Even though there’s no announcement trailer yet, the cliffhanger at the end implies the continuation of the story to another Season. Few fans can recall that the franchise had said some time ago that they pretty much created the studio to adapt Jobless Reincarnation manga in full.

According to Monsters and Critics, Mushoku Tensei Season 1 covered until volume 6 of the light novel series. In other words, it is volume 10 in the ongoing manga. Now you must be wondering how much material is left to be adapted. As of now, 25 volumes of the light novel and 15 volumes of the manga have been published. You need not worry about content.

What is Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation About?

Funimation is set to stream Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 and has added a synopsis for the story:

The story follows a 34-year-old man who is killed after trying to save someone from getting hit by a car. He soon finds himself reincarnated in a magical world as Rudeus Greyrat, except that he gets his whole life reset, starting as a baby. With all of his knowledge from his previous life, and a new heaping helping of magical ability, Rudeus quickly becomes a formidable warrior ready for adventure. Oh, and he’s still a total pervert.

The plot for the anime revolves around a 34-year-old hikikomori (shut-in) who is constantly bullied and pushed around. He finally faces eviction after his parents’ death. He resolves to do something heroic but it ends in another awful tragedy – his own death. But instead, he is reborn as Rudeus Greyrat.

The world he is warped into thrives on sorcery and the will of the sword. Rudeus becomes an apprentice of Roxy Migurdia and finally finds a world to belong in. But the challenges and obstacles in his life are far from over.

Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Plot
