The official website for the television anime of Haruka Mitsui's Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You (Dōse, Koishite Shimaunda. or KoiShima) manga announced on Wednesday that the anime's second season will premiere in 2026 on the TBS and BS11 channels. First season director Junichi Yamamoto is also confirmed to return for the second season. The anime's staff also revealed the second season's visual, and a character visual showing the main characters as adults.
The cast and characters featured in the visual are:
- Sakura Shinfuku as Mizuho Nishino (center)
- Kazuki Ura as Kizuki Hazawa (right from center)
- Sion Yoshitaka as Shin Kashiwagi (left from center)
- Shōya Chiba as Airu Izumi (leftmost)
- Satoshi Inomata as Shūgo Hoshikawa (rightmost)
Junichi Yamamoto (More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen) directed the first season, and Typhoon Graphics produced the anime. Yū Murai (Haigakura) and Nagisa Nario supervised and wrote the series scripts, Io Shiiba designed the characters, and Katsuzō Hirata (Angel Beats! character design) and Suzuna Okuyama (A Certain Magical Index II key animator) were the sub-character designers. Keiji Inai (all five seasons of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) composed the music.
Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Mizuha's seventeenth birthday is the pits. Her parents totally forgot, and the senpai she likes isn't interested in her. But when her longtime childhood friend asks her out, Mizuha has to sort out what this change could mean…and all in the middle of a global pandemic!
Mitsui began serializing the manga in Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine in October 2020, and Kodansha will publish the manga's 12th compiled book volume in Japan on August 12. The manga has more than 1.25 million copies in circulation, including digital copies. Kodansha USA Publishing will release the ninth volume physically in English on December 30.
The manga got a stage play adaptation in Tokyo and Osaka in February.
