How much of the manga will season 2 cover?
If the second season covers a similar number of chapters and volumes as the first season, then we would expect season 2 to end with the events of Volume 18, which covers chapters 154-162.
We’ll speculate that the second season will end with the events of chapter 161. Manga readers will understand why we’ve made this prediction.
