The Dungeon of Black Company Season 2: Is there enough source material?
Yohei Yasumura’s Dungeon of Black Company manga is the basis for the anime series. There are a total of seven volumes in the Isekai manga. Apart from this, the franchise does not have any additional source material for spin-offs.
This anime’s first season was based on around 29 chapters of the manga. This concludes the manga, which consists of almost six volumes. But now creator Yohei Yasmura has made it clear that the manga will go on for a long time.
Another important plot arc, meant to be a lengthy play, starts in volume seven as well. We may therefore assume that there will be sufficient source material released in the manga for The Dungeon of Black Company Season 2 to warrant its broadcast on screen.
