The official website for the television anime of Fujino Ōmori and Toshi Aoi's Wistoria: Wand and Sword (Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria) manga revealed the teaser visual, main staff, and a special video announcing the April 2026 debut of the anime's second season, on Monday.
The first season's director Tatsuya Yoshihara is the new season's general director, and Hideaki Nakano (Saiyuki Reload Blast, Servamp) is the new director at first season animation studios Actas and Bandai Namco Pictures. Sayaka Ono returns as character designer and chief animation director, and Yuki Hayashi also returns to compose the music.
Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga in English, and will release the 10th volume on November 25. The company describes the story:
A new, magical dungeon-adventure fantasy series from the author of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?! To fulfill the promise he made to his childhood friend, Will Serfort enters Regarden Magic Academy with the goal of making it to the top of the magical world. There's just one problem—he doesn't know how to use magic! Will the seemingly ordinary sword in his hand be the key to unlock his true potential?
Ōmori (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) and Aoi launched the manga in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in December 2020. Kodansha published the manga's 13th compiled book volume on July 9. The manga's "Terminalia Arc" and first part ended in May 2023 and got an epilogue chapter that June.
