The official website for the second season for the television anime of Asato Mizu's Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (Aharen Is Indecipherable) romantic comedy manga began streaming the first promotional video on Thursday, and it reveals and previews the opening theme song "Binetsuma" by ZUTOMAYO:

The first season of the anime aired in April 2022. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired and also streamed an English dub.
Mizu launched the manga on Shonen Jump+ in January 2017. The series ended in April 2023.
The teen romantic comedy follows the "indecipherable" daily life of short, quiet Reina Aharen and Raidō who sits next to her in class. Aharen is not so good at gauging the distance between people (or personal boundaries), and Raidō initially sensed some distance between the two of them. Then one day, when Raidō picked up the eraser that Aharen had dropped, the distance between them suddenly became uncomfortably close. From "way too distant" to "way too close" ... Aharen is simply unpredictable.
