Taking in the fact that the anime series is based on Bofuri Light Novel, which already has thirteen published volumes as of 10th March 2022. There is enough source material available that can easily make up the plot for the upcoming season two.
Since the first season of Bofuri adapted to four volumes of the light novel out of the thirteen, the next one will also adopt at least a total of four subsequent volumes.
A Brief Recap of the Bofuri’s Season One Finale:
In the finale of the first season, “Defense and Bonds,” we got to see Maple Tree trying to become one of the remaining teams in NewWorld Online’s latest community event in the VRMMO game.
In order to achieve that purpose, we witness Maple Tree Guild taking on the Sword Guild’s order to fight for each other orbs, leaving Maple with only one HP as she comes face to face with Payne.
Though it was a close call in combat, Maple’s team ended up coming victorious and securing third place in the competition, and they all eventually celebrated their deserving success.
Taking on from this point, we will probably see Maple strengthen as a high-performing gamer that will hopefully go through winning streaks in the next season.
How many Episodes are there going to be?
The second season will also have a total of twelve episodes, like its predecessor.
What is the Anime Series “Bofuri” all about?
Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense is the anime adaptation of a Japanese light novel series of the same name written by Yuumikan.
Its story revolves around our leading lady Kaede Honjou whose friend (Risa Shiramine) invited her to play the VRMMO game NewWorld Online with her.
Its official description reads:
“Urged on by her friend, Kaede Honjō begins playing the VRMMORPG NewWorld Online under the name Maple. Not wanting to get hurt, Maple opts to be a shield user with maxed-out defense stats and continues putting every status point she earns in the game into increasing only her defense level.”
Though this leaves her “with slow foot speed and no magic,” she slowly becomes a formidable defender in gameplay.
