The source: a web novel that became a manga hit

The series began in 2013 as Suisei's web novel on Shosetsuka ni Naro. Three light novel volumes followed from Futabasha's Monster Bunko label, illustrated by La-na, who is credited as the anime's original character designer. The anime adapts Kairi's Futabasha manga version, which carries the story's comedy and romance to its current audience.

What has not been announced yet

To be exact about the gaps: no premiere window, no episode count, no trailer, and no confirmation of the Season 2 studio or staff. Crunchyroll, which streamed Season 1, has not yet confirmed the sequel for streaming. All of that is normal for an announcement at this stage, and none of it should be filled in with guesses.
