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 revealed on Thursday that girl idol group ME:I will perform the opening theme song "L to R" (L and R) for the anime's second season, while the band berry meet will perform the ending theme song "Hatsukoi" (First Love).

The second season will premiere in January 2026. Mayuko Kazama joins the cast for the second season as Kuroda, who was a classmate of Shin's when he was at university and who has had feelings for Shin since then.

First season director Junichi Yamamoto is returning to direct the second season at Typhoon Graphics. Yū Muraiis also returning to oversee the series scripts.

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 published the manga's 12th compiled book volume in Japan on August 12.
