Muse Asia began streaming Getsuyōbi no Tawawa 2 (Tawawa on Monday Two), the second season of the short anime of Kiseki Himura's Getsuyōbi no Tawawa (Tawawa on Monday) illustrations, on YouTube on Monday. The company also began streaming the first four episodes of the first season of the anime, and will stream four episodes every day until September 22. Episodes of the second season will stream every Monday at 3:50 a.m. IST.
Muse Asia is streaming the anime in India as well as Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan.
The company describes the anime season:
The second season of the anime adaptation of the weekly webcomic "Tawawa on Monday" by Kiseki Himura. Our salaryman's story with Ai on the train continues, along with the other couples.
Enjoy the moving and talking "Tawawa" for your melancholic Monday morning!
The anime season premiered on Abema TV on Sunday.
The returning cast members include Sayaka Harada as Ai-chan, Ai Kayano as Kōhai-chan, Shizuka Ishigami as Volley-bu-chan, Junji Majima as Onii-san, and Yasuaki Takumi as Senpai. The new cast members include:
- Rie Takahashi as Maegami-chan
- Yuka Iguchi as Imōto-chan
- Kikuko Inoue as Okaa-san
- Junichi Yanagita as Sensei
Almost all of the main staff and the animation studio are completely different from the previous season. Yuki Ogawa is the director of the new season at Yokohama Animation Lab, replacing director Kosuke Murayama and studio PINE JAM from the previous season. Hajime Kamoshida, who previously worked with Himura on the Just Because! anime, is in charge of the series scripts. Tensho Sato (Gamers!) is the new character designer. Yukari Yasuda is the art director, while Yuichi Furuichi is the color key artist. Koujirou Hayashi is the compositing director of photography, and Ayako Tan is editing. Jin Aketagawa, the only returning staff member, is once again the audio director.
A Blu-ray Disc of the 12 streamed episodes plus a 13th unstreamed episode will ship on December 13, and a set of both seasons will be available on the same day.
The first 12-episode season of anime shorts debuted on YouTube in October 2016, but YouTube removed the first episode before restoring it within the same week. Starting from the second episode, NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan relaunched the series on Nico Nico Video. The anime's Blu-ray Disc included two unreleased episodes.
Himura publishes new illustrations for the series every Monday on his Twitter account. The manga also began serializing in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine in November 2020. Kodansha published the manga's second compiled book volume on August 2.
Himura also drew the Sword Art Online: Progressive manga.
