The Credits Roll Into the Sea Volume 2 Review

Dark Horse has released the second volume of The Credits Roll Into the Sea, continuing the story of sixty-five-year-old Umiko as she navigates film school alongside students significantly younger than herself. This installment explores her efforts to adapt to college life while addressing generational gaps in communication and creative expression.
Umiko’s journey involves overcoming social challenges, such as being called 'granny,' and learning to connect with peers through shared experiences like clubbing. She supports a struggling classmate, Yamaguchi, and collaborates on a project with Takashina, who aims to become a MyTuber. Meanwhile, Kai pursues professional training, and a young influencer named Sora arrives at the arts festival, creating new dynamics among the characters.
The volume maintains the series' focus on intergenerational relationships and self-expression through film. Dark Horse plans to release Volume 3 in February and Volume 4 in June.
Anime UK News reported on September 14 that Dark Horse released The Credits Roll Into the Sea Volume 1.
