There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party: Season 2 Confirmed

The TV anime adaptation of "There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her" is getting a second season. The sequel was announced on November 7, 2026, at the "StarryCube ANIME FES" event at Waseda University. A broadcast date as well as new details on the studio and production team are still pending.

Six Voice Actors Return

The official anime website confirms that the six lead roles will again be voiced by their previous Japanese voice actors. Kohei Amasaki voices Youki, and Kana Hanazawa takes on Cecilia. Joining them are Ryohei Kimura as Yuga, Yuko Natsuyoshi as Mikana, Iori Noguchi as Happiness, and Ayumu Murase as Raven.

At the announcement, Amasaki also appeared with a surprise pre-recorded video message. The production team published the announcement on the official website immediately afterward. Congratulatory messages from those involved in the source material and the voice cast also appeared there.

The novel is by Suisei. Kairi handles the manga adaptation, while La-na is responsible for the original character designs. In their new statements, those involved comment on the continuation of the story of Youki and Cecilia.

What the Fantasy Rom-Com Is About

Youki is a former human who is reborn on the demon side of a fantasy world. When a hero party invades the Demon King's castle, he falls in love with their priestess, Cecilia. Instead of simply fighting the intruders, he tries to confess his feelings to her.

The first anime season aired from January to March 2026. Studio Gekkou was responsible for its production. It has not yet been announced whether the second season will be made by the same team. There is currently no new announcement regarding the episode count or streaming release either.

Other upcoming romantic anime adaptations include Everyone's Darling Has a Secret and Boku no Sukina Hito ga Sukina Hito, both scheduled for April 2027. For "There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party," however, the start window is still open.
