It is easy to see why fans are curious whether there would be Higehiro Season 2.

The anime series follows a 26-year-old boy Yoshida who is an employee of a major IT company and is in love with Airi Gotou, his senior at work. He confesses his love to Airi Gotou, his senior at work but gets rejected. He is completely drunk and while coming back to his apartment he finds Sayu Ogiwara, a runaway high school girl, sitting under a telephone pole.

Sayu does not have any place to go and convinces Yoshida for a shelter. The next morning when Yoshida asked her how she ended up at his apartment, she reveals that she had run away from her family and home in Hokkaido. She has been surviving on her own by prostituting herself to random strangers and having one-night stands with them to earn money to support herself.

Knowing her back story Yoshida feels pity for her and is unable to kick her out of his house. Since then they live together to cover up their sorrows. After a few days, Yoshida decides and visit to Sayu’s brother and mom. Yoshida convinces her mother to somehow make up with her daughter. With that, Sayu's long journey away from home comes to an end. It's time finally to say goodbye to Yoshida.

Though there are not many cliffhangers left but on the flip side the story could be extended showing Yoshida and Sayu's new love story in Hige wo Soru Season 2.
