Kotaro Lives Alone Season 2 Plot
The story is about Kotaro Satō, a child who went to live by himself in flat 203 at Shimizu Apartment, and about Shin Karino, his neighbor, who ultimately adopts him. Kotaro had a problematic childhood and faced a lot of trauma when his mother left him with his abusive father.
This 5-year-old kid is mature for his age because he escaped from his father and went to a foster clinic to escape the abuse. However, his father found his location, and he had to move into the old complex. Even though there has been no particular scene suggesting that Kotaro was not born out of love, the chances seem pretty high. He is also unaware of the fact that his mother is dead, and the money he receives from a family lawyer is her life insurance.
Kotaro’s sad life changes when he chances upon the manga artist, Karino, and they develop a deep bond and look out for each other. Kotaro also gets the support of Isamu Tamaru, another neighbor, and Mizuki Akitomo. We see that Kotaro wants the best for Mizuki when he asks her to leave this building to escape her abusive partner.
Kotaro Lives Alone season 2 can focus on how Kotaro lives after becoming aware of his own strength, his growing relationship with Karino, and the others. He might also know the truth about his past. Other character arcs, like Mizuki’s, can be shown.
