Domestic Girlfriend Season 2 Plot
Domestic Girlfriend follows high school student Natsuo Fujii as he deals with his feelings for his teacher. But after he meets a mysterious girl named Rui Tachibana, things begin to shift. He has sex with Rui as an outlet for his sadness about his absent teacher. The following day, his father tells him that he and his fiancée are getting married. Tsukiko Tachibana, the mother of the professor he has feelings for, enters the room. But the problems have only just begun. Two daughters enter with their mother. Among them are Rui and Hina.
The first season followed Natsuo as he continued to try to find a happy medium between his relationships with the various ladies in his life. After the principal finds out about Hina and her secret love in the series finale, “I’m Sorry, I Love You,” Hina drops out of school. She, therefore, requested a transfer to a faraway school as payment for remaining silent. Natsuo, on the other hand, fell into a deep depression in her absence. Towards the season’s end, Natsuo pretended to be a novelist in an effort to track down Hina. With Natsuo as her boyfriend, Rui’s life was complete.
The upcoming season will begin where the manga left off, in chapter 73. Jumping forward in time is how “A New Wind” opens. Rui has recently taken up cooking as a profession. Her ultimate goal is to win the title of “world’s best chef.” However, her private life isn’t developing the way she hopes it will. Hina can’t be happy in the relationship as long as she knows Rui still loves her. Is this the beginning of an affair?
