Crunchyroll Streams Masamune-kun's Revenge R Anime in India

Crunchyroll announced on Saturday that it will stream Masamune-kun's Revenge R (Masamune-kun no Revenge R), the second season of the television anime of Hazuki Takeoka and Tiv's Masamune-kun's Revenge (Masamune-kun no Revenge) manga, in India. Crunchyroll will stream the anime worldwide including the India subcontinent but excluding the rest of Asia in spring 2023.

The company describes the anime:

"I've returned to this town for revenge!" Eight years ago, Makabe Masamune, a weak and chubby boy, was harshly rejected by the beautiful Adagaki Aki. Now, he's lost a ton of weight, changed his name, and returned as a handsome teenage boy... all to make the "Brutal Princess" Aki fall in love with him so that he can reject her just as harshly as she did.

The first television anime adaptation premiered in January 2017. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.

The manga launched in Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Rex magazine in 2012, and ended in June 2018. An original anime disc (OAD) that Ichijinsha bundled with the manga's 10th volume also tells an "after story" for the manga. The volume shipped in July 2018. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English.

The manga received a special chapter in August 2020 about Masamune and Aki set after the original manga's final chapter.

Takeoka and Tiv launched the Masamune-kun no Revenge after school (Masamune-kun's Revenge after school) spinoff manga in Monthly Comic Rex September 2018, and ended it in January 2019. Ichijinsha published the stories in one compiled book volume as the "volume 11" of the manga in April 2019, and Seven Seas Entertainment published the volume in June 2020.
