The second season of the Masamune-kun’s Revenge anime, titled Masamune-kun’s Revenge R, was originally set to premiere this April, but we’re going to have to wait a little longer for its return. The series is the latest to be affected by COVID-19 related production delays, and as such it has been pushed back to July 2023.
Here’s the delay announcement from the official Twitter:

Based on the manga written by Hazuki Takeoka and illustrated by Tiv, the first season of Masamune-kun’s Revenge is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, which describes it like so:
“I’ve returned to this town for revenge!” Eight years ago, Makabe Masamune, a weak and chubby boy, was harshly rejected by the beautiful Adagaki Aki. Now, he’s lost a ton of weight, changed his name, and returned as a handsome teenage boy… all to make the “Brutal Princess” Aki fall in love with him so that he can reject her just as harshly as she did.
