HIDIVE announced on Wednesday that it will stream the second season for the television anime of Kotoyama's Call of the Night (Yofukashi no Uta) manga for the summer 2025 season. The company will also screen a sneak peek at the first half of the season's second episode at Anime Expo on July 5 at 5:45 p.m. The company streamed an English-subtitled trailer:

The first season began a rebroadcast on April 11 at 25:45 (effectively, April 12 at 1:45 a.m.) on Fuji TV, and it will also rerun on Hokkaido Cultural Broadcasting Co., Ltd. and Kochi Sun Sun Broadcasting, Inc.
Rina Satō joins the cast as Kiku Hoshimi, a seductive woman with whom Kō's friend Mahiru falls in love.
The anime's first season premiered in July 2022. HIDIVE streamed the anime with English subtitles as it aired in Japan. HIDIVE also debuted an English dub in September 2022.
Tomoyuki Itamura (Monogatari series) directed the first season at LIDEN FILMS with Tetsuya Miyanishi (Josee, The Tiger and the Fish) as the chief director. Michiko Yokote (Bleach, Shirobako, Prison School, Cowboy Bebop) wrote the scripts. Haruka Sagawa (Happy-Go-Lucky Days) designed the characters.
Creepy Nuts perform the first opening theme song "Datenshi" (Fallen Angel) and ending theme song "Yofukashi no Uta" (Call of the Ni:ght). The duo also perform insert songs for the anime.
Viz Media licensed the Call of the Night manga, and describes the manga:
Nanakusa is a vampire. That's okay with human Ko. He wants to be one too. But transformation doesn't come that easily...When Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place in an abandoned building, he's stoked! But then he awakens to kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them... Is it just the delicious taste of his blood that makes her meet him night after night for late-night adventures, conversation and...naps? Or something else? Then, when a cute girl from Yamori's past shows up and competes for his attention, his budding relationship with the undead is put to the test!
Kotoyama (Dagashi Kashi) launched the Call of the Night manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in August 2019. The manga ended in January 2024. Shogakukan published the manga's 20th and final compiled book volume in March 2024.
