Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
H2 is Mitsuru Adachi's longest manga at 34 volumes, and the anime compresses mercilessly — many subplots and rival teams vanish entirely.
The 'H' stands for both Hiro and Haruko, but also 'Hero' and 'Heroine' — classic Adachi wordplay that the anime barely explains.
