A Bartender and a Medical Student Vie for an Office Worker in 'The Future Diary' Season 2 — Who Will Win?

One is unrefined yet gives his all, while another is stylish and fun like a friend. Who would you choose?

Based on a “mysterious love diary that tells the future,” the second season of romance reality series The Future Diary is released today with a love triangle that amps up the drama. Two men and one woman have to make the ultimate choice between friendship and love. “The two of them were led by the light and each met their soulmate.” This was in the diary for Akimitsu Sumimoto, a 24-year-old bartender living in Tokyo. At a romantic bamboo forest, he meets Moka Nozoe, a 23-year-old office worker living in Tokyo. Thinking that Akimitsu looks like a handsome guy from a manga, Moka takes an instant liking to him. However, her diary says that “this story has not begun yet.” Led by the diary, she once again heads into the bamboo grove. Waiting for Moka there is Koyo Momota, a 23-year-old medical school student living in Aichi prefecture. While surprised by the appearance of a second man, Moka engages him in lively conversation.

The men look toward their first “double” date without knowing about their rival. Will Moka be able to date both without them realizing it? This exciting story unfurls from Episode 1.

With completely different date plans, the two men take very different approaches when trouble occurs. Moka’s heart wavers as she compares the two. As she chooses one, The Future Diary leads all three toward a new direction.

Meanwhile, the host, DAIGO, and studio regulars Chinatsu Wakatsuki, Satoshi Mukai (of the comedy trio Panther), Mizuki Itagaki, and Miyu Honda are animated in their discussions, split between “Team Koyo,” who find his fresh and unaccustomed nature to be cute, and “Team Akimitsu,” who claim that “Aki” is better at driving conversations.

While both Akimitsu and Koyo do their best to win Moka over, their relationship begins to change from just being rivals as all three of them spend time together.

However, a predetermined “farewell” awaits at the end. Which decision will they make?

The bittersweet lyrics and refreshing melody of the theme song “Ashita no kimito” by Yuzu, a Japanese pop rock duo set the mood for the story. “You can’t go back after you start watching it!” declares Yuzu, who are absorbed in The Future Diary. Enjoy their theme song along with the moments of “wavering hearts” that, according to Yuzu’s Yujin Kitagawa, you can only find in The Future Diary.
