The Japanese anime series The Great Passage is based on Shion Miura’s book Fune O Amu. Cartoons in this series depict the protagonist’s rise from corporate liability to the most famous editor of his day as he works to compile a new lexicon.
One of the things that makes Japanese anime so interesting and captivating is the romantic subplot. Perseverance, dedication, and resolve to realize one’s dreams are the moral pillars of the series. The road to success is paved by the struggles one endures. The volumes were written a decade ago, yet the story’s brilliance still influences viewers.
The Great Passage Season 2 Release Date
Zexcs Studio’s series made its debut on Fuji TV (Nitamina) on October 14, 2016, and ran until December 23, 2016. Viewers’ expectations that the announcement of a second season will be made in early or mid-2018 have not been met. However, many are holding out hope that the production company may consider producing season 2 when they accomplish their viewing and sales targets.

Within the dictionary department, there is a reputation for being a “money-eating insect” (loss-maker).
