The official website for the television anime of Kotoyama's Call of the Night (Yofukashi no Uta) manga revealed a new cast member and the ending theme song artist for the anime's second season on Friday.
Tomokazu Sugita joins the cast as LG, a follower of Midori Kohakobe.
The site also announced that Creepy Nuts will also perform the ending theme song "Nemure" (Sleep) for the second season. Creepy Nuts is also performing the opening theme song "Mirage." As in the first season, the duo performs both the opening and ending songs. The manga itself is named after the duo's "Yofukashi no Uta" song, which also served as the opening theme song of the first season.
Rina Satō joins the cast as Kiku Hoshimi, a seductive woman with whom Kō's friend Mahiru falls in love. Maaya Uchida also joins as Haru Nanakusa, a nurse who looks like Nazuna Nanakusa.
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. They have also appeared as cameos in the series.
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.
