New Year's Special and Premiere Date Confirmed

The second season will premiere on January 6, 2025, on various Japanese TV stations, including Tokyo MX and BS11. Fans can look forward to a special highlight on New Year's Day: The main cast will gather for a live stream special, which will be broadcast on January 1st at 12:00 PM Japan Standard Time (JST). International viewers can watch the new season simultaneously with the Japanese TV broadcast, starting January 6th at 10:30 PM (JST) on Netflix.

Familiar Team with New Reinforcements

The production team is undergoing some interesting changes. Masayuki Kojima, who previously served as a storyboard artist and episode director in the first season, is now assisting Takehiro Kubota in the role of director. Ami Satō is taking sole responsibility for the series composition, after sharing this task with colleagues in the first season. The beloved main cast members, Reina Ueda as Miyo and Kaito Ishikawa as Kiyoka, are returning to their roles. As a new addition, Haruka Tomatsu joins the cast as Kaoruko Jinnouchi.

Musical Reworking and Success Story

Two new songs provide the musical backdrop: Riria performs the opening song "Shiawase no Yakusoku" (A Happy Promise), while Kashitarō Itō is responsible for the ending theme, "Tsukikage Okuri" (Moonlight Send-Off). The first season of the series, which premiered in July 2023 with 12 episodes, quickly became a fan favorite. The original novel series by Akumi Agitogi and Tsukiho Tsukioka continues to enjoy widespread popularity.

"The second season will illuminate the emotional depth of the characters even further," promises director Takehiro Kubota. "We have strived to add new facets to the romantic story without losing the magic of the original."
