There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, So I Tried Confessing to Her Gets Season 2
The isekai romcom about a demon who falls for a hero's priest is getting a second season, with Kohei Amasaki, Kana Hanazawa and the main cast returning.
Yoki is not done embarrassing himself in front of Cecilia yet. There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, So I Tried Confessing to Her, or Yuukawa for short, is getting a second season, according to the official site.
Announced live at a fan event
The news broke on November 7 at the StarryCube ANIME FES powered by Waseda University's anime and voice acting club. Kohei Amasaki, who voices Yoki, appeared in a surprise video message, and the site says the room answered with big applause. The team also shared a season 2 announcement visual with Cecilia smiling against a field of flowers.
The main cast is coming back
The follow-up posts on the site confirm that the core cast continues:
- Kohei Amasaki as Yoki
- Kana Hanazawa as Cecilia
- Ryohei Kimura as Yuga
- Yuko Natsuyoshi as Mikana
- Iori Noguchi (=LOVE) as Happiness
- Ayumu Murase as Raven
Original author Suisei, manga artist Kairi and character designer La-na also sent congratulation messages.
My take
The premise is simple: a reincarnated demon, stuck as a mid-boss under the Demon Lord, falls for the priest of the hero's party at first sight and decides to confess. What sold me on season 1 was how earnest it stayed, with Hanazawa's gentle Cecilia balancing out Yoki's chuunibyou outbursts. The first season was animated at Gekkou, though the staff and studio for the sequel have not been confirmed.
No broadcast window has been announced yet. The team says more details will come through the official site and official X account, so for now it is good news without a date.
The series page is on anime.day.
