Even though Skip and Loafer has a devoted audience, the news that it’s being renewed took many by surprise, given that more than a year has elapsed since its initial airing on Crunchyroll. However, despite the fact that the first season spanned just one cour, it certainly left an impression with its charming animation, endearing characters, and awkward yet endearing romance that fans couldn’t seem to get enough of.
