Turning the Mad Dog into a genteel Lord Season 2

Turning the Mad Dog into a Genteel Lord is one of the best Romance Comedy Manhwa you can read right now. Season 1 finished on December 24th 2024 on Kakaopage. The dynamic between Ceres and Diarin is hilarious, IF you don’t mind the “taming-xyz”trope.  But when will Season 2 begin? Here’s a breakdown of everything that has been officially announced and where things currently stand.

Turning the Mad Dog into a Genteel Lord: Season 2 vs. Season 1 art

The art style changes significantly in Season 2 due to the new illustrator. Here is a comparison:

I was completely obsessed with the original art. Turning the Mad Dog into a Genteel Lord was, for me, one of those Manhwa with truly god-tier visuals, so the change honestly shocked me at first. The new artist is doing a good job, but I really miss the liveliness of the old style – especially the expressive faces, Diarin’s in particular. I’m sure I’ll get used to the new look over time, and in the end I’m just grateful the series wasn’t cancelled.

As for why V_An stepped down after Season 1: there has been no official explanation.
The only formal statement came from KakaoPage, confirming that Season 2 would continue with a new artist, Ino.

Some fans have speculated about possible health issues or personal reasons, but these are purely community theories. None of these claims have been confirmed by the publisher, the studio, or the artist.
