Kaichou wa maid-sama will not have a seconde season.
Why? Because it did not sell well in Japan. Yes, JAPAN. For a japanese anime, it doesn't matter how populair it is outside japan. It could be populair in the US, Canada, Spain, Philippines, u name it! BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, if it sells like crap in Japan, like Maid-sama did, there will be NO seconde season. Maid-sama averaged 800 copies per volume. That is a MAJOR LOSS.
For an anime to at least not be a loss, it MUST sell 2500-3000 copies. seconde seasons are considered only if it has 6000 copies of more.
While international popularity is good, its the japanese popularity which matters the most.
Ironically, most of the time, other than big titles like naruto, stuff which sells in japan doesn't sell well in the US. ^^' Yea weird.
If u really wanna know, u know Naruto and One Piece? u know how populair Naruto is in the US and One Piece is in the sidelines a bit? One Piece sells 2 million copies per volume now while naruto only sells 800,00 copies per volume.
Now, a little word of advice. volgende time u like an anime , instead of only watching it for free, buy the ORIGINAL DVD from Japan(yes, its possible u can buy from amazone, amazon japan which can be viewed in English) and SUPPORT the author. Spread the word! Considering how populair Maid-sama is here on mangafox, had even a quarter of the maid-sama fans on mangafox bought the DVDS and Blurays, we'd be having a 4th season door now. Yea, sad.
