In the second season of VALVRAVE THE LIBERATOR, the students of Sakimori Academy are heading towards the neutral territory of the moon where they will establish their independence as New JIOR. But, this proves to be a difficult task when both Dorssia and ARUS continue to engage them in battle in hopes to take the powerful Valvraves for themselves. Haruto must accept to cooperate with L-elf, a former special agent of Dorssia, in order to protect those who are dear to him.

About VALVRAVE THE LIBERATOR 2nd Season Haruto Tokishima -- by now every citizen of JIOR knew the name of this hero who confronted the Dorssian army’s unjustified invasion and courageously defended his fellow students of Sakimori Academy. But after seeing the sheer power of the Valvrave, both Dorssia and ARUS were ready to take this mysterious humanoid weapon for their own at any cost! With pressure coming from both of these powerful nations, the students of Module 77 decide that it would be best to head for the moon which is a neutral territory and declare their independence as New JIOR. Meanwhile, Haruto, who was initially hesitant of confrontational situations, realizes that in order to survive, he and the other Valvrave pilots must fight to protect their school, country, and everything they held so dear.
