Kaichou wa maid-sama will not have a 秒 season.
Why? Because it did not sell well in Japan. Yes, JAPAN. For a japanese anime, it doesn't matter how 流行的 it is outside japan. It could be 流行的 in the US, Canada, Spain, Philippines, 你 name it! BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, if it sells like crap in Japan, like Maid-sama did, there will be NO 秒 season. Maid-sama averaged 800 copies per volume. That is a MAJOR LOSS.
For an 日本动漫 to at least not be a loss, it MUST sell 2500-3000 copies. 秒 seasons are considered only if it has 6000 copies 或者 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 日本 doesn't sell well in the US. ^^' Yea weird.
If 你 really wanna know, 你 know 火影忍者 and One Piece? 你 know how 流行的 火影忍者 is in the US and One Piece is in the sidelines a bit? One Piece sells 2 million copies per volume now while 火影忍者 only sells 800,00 copies per volume.
Now, a little word of advice. 下一个 time 你 like an 日本动漫 , instead of only watching it for free, buy the ORIGINAL DVD from Japan(yes, its possible 你 can buy from 亚马逊 日本 which can be viewed in English) and SUPPORT the author. Spread the word! Considering how 流行的 Maid-sama is here on mangafox, had even a quarter of the maid-sama 粉丝 on mangafox bought the DVDS and Blurays, we'd be having a 4th season 由 now. Yea, sad.
